Dear Mr Overhill,


Well you can't have mine if that is what you are after. Mr Michael Paleo..... - another forumite already tried to nab her on me. Of course there are many au pairs left to employ. The good ones are hard to find though.


I must get back to work now, or I shall be fired...


DM

You have to remember DulwichMum is not really "leafy East Dulwich", but an ornamnent of the gentry in even leafier West Dulwich. Her de haut en bas pronouncements - be they on the subject of nannies or shoe-shopping - are very much those of the Lady Bountiful slumming it a bit, but gosh had I a forleock I'd willingly be tugging it! >:D

Dear Mr SimonM,


You are so right! I never claimed to live in East Dulwich - it is far too close to Peckham for my taste. A completely super place to visit, shop, eat and drink though, so unpretentious. I particularly like the free range lamb from the farmers market on North Cross Road, and the Organic cod from the fish mongers.

D-M is a real person. I have met her and count myself luck to have done so.


Do you know that her Blog smells of fresh baked bread and eau de toilette of the finest quality? Its true. All true.


I still have the lactating donkey by the way D-M. Could you give her mention on your blog? To try and move her on so to speak. Needs a bigger home with room to, lactate.

Dear Mr Palaelogus,


I try to avoid all mention of ... lactation if it is all the same to you. If you could just sort that donkey out, I am sure there is no reason why she could not perhaps be re-integrated into society. Ana is still hiding behind the kitchen island. Whatever did you do to her?


DM

Before we move on from the whole..... calcium-based subject may I just repeat one of the best lines from a song ever


"My wife's lactatin'

And I'm spectatin'

It's a football thing"


DM - having seen your back yard in the South London Press pic I am most upset I didn't get an invite for Pimms on this most glorious of weekends (just passed)

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
