Might be best to ask her GP (or a pharmacist) what is suitable for her age?

If you would like to sing solo (or in a small group) in front of other people but don't yet have the confidence, we now have a FREE "shy singers" session at 6pm before the main Singaround. We are not singing teachers! We won't be teaching you to sing - everyone can sing! - just helping you build confidence over a number of weeks along with others. It's presently just a small group - all friendly - and there will be no pressure at all to do anything you don't want to. Both this session and the main Singaround are in a smallish room - no stage, no mics, most people sing sitting down from wherever they are sitting. You can use words, and you can sing anything you like, any genre. If you would like more info, please message me on here or via our website Https://www.thegooseisout.com

I don't know if this is the right section to put this, but if you see anybody sleeping rough in this freezing cold, you can alert an organisation who will help via this link https://thestreetlink.org.uk/ Shelters have been set up in London for them. This is from an email I got today: London has been facing dangerously cold temperatures. For those sleeping rough, this weather can be life-threatening. London’s Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been activated throughout this week to ensure warm, safe emergency accommodation has been available for those who need it. StreetLink connects people sleeping rough with local outreach teams who assess their needs and offer support services. By making a report, you could save someone’s life.

Ah ok thanks, mine live inside all year round, maybe I should try putting them outside in the summer!

£100 for black leggings? 😮 You can get them two for a tenner in Sainsbury's 😂 https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/product/tuc144393317

Isn't that what Defra test the herd for? Not that I'd risk it!

What do you feed it with? Just a general all purpose feed? Clearly I am doing something wrong with mine! They flower every year, but they don't have anything like that amount of flowers!

Steve the spin doctor is highly recommended on here. https://londonspindoctor.com His phone number is at the top right of the website- I tried to copy it here but it just kept trying to phone him!

That's amazing!

Congratulations on getting it to flower!

ChatGPT agrees! Well, sort of. Yes I have too much time on my hands 🤣

Crikey, seems like GMs haven't improved in the over twelve years since this thread was started 😮 Is there some professional body where you could report this awful experience? Sounds like a trainee who hadn't even begun their training (and should probably be considering a different career). Was there no supervision? Did you ask for somebody else to rectify it? At the very very least they should refund you and give you free sessions until it is back to looking like what you asked for. I have twice had this happen (years ago), once at a branch of Charles Worthington and once at some long forgotten place, and in both cases it was rectified free by someone else (once it had grown back a bit). I highly recommend Kuki in Bellenden Road. It isn't cheap, but I have been going there since it opened and I have never had a bad experience there. I have only ever had Shingo, who is excellent (but on holiday at the moment) but to the best of my knowledge the others are good too. https://kukihair.com/

Malumbu, that's great that you are so helpful and honest, but sadly not everybody around is. And some of us are crap at DIY and would be better off not attempting most of it. I can wire a plug, unblock a u-bend and paint a wall, but that's about it. Mind you some of the people I have paid didn't seem to be much better, unfortunately. Can you say more about the LETS scheme? Who regulates it, and how?
