Sharon's garden centre has a great selection already!

Loads of factors to consider! Labradors are great family dogs, chilled with the kids BUT they do she'd an awful lot! Non shedding doodle mixes are lovely (cockapoos, Cavapoos, Labradoodles, etc) BUT they need loads of brushing&grooming to avoid having a dog that is constantly matted.you may want to consider going to Crufts or Discover Dogs to meet different breeds to help you decide. You could also join Borrow my doggy, to give it all a try? Another factor is Where to get the dog from. Make sure you don't buy a puppy from the Internet. Best place to look is the UK Kennel Club website. You csn search different breeds/breeders in specific areas. Only buy from a genuine breeder. Be careful, there are a lot of crooks out there! Don't rush. Wait for the right dog. Good luck with it all. It's a huge commitment but amazingly rewarding. ;)

how do I contact admin please?

I do my mum's duck in my slow cooker. Take a whole duck, salt it a LOT, chuck it in for 4-5 hours on slow. The salt will cook out all the fat from the duck which ends up in the bottom, and the duck comes out crispy on the outside and moist , falling off the bone on the inside. A winner with our family every time. :)

We went to pirate party yesterday, and the entertainer was great with the kids, I don't know how much, but you can check their website Nuttys. (I think it was called)

Stevie is very good,she does mine and my son's hair, we are very happy with her. search for her on this forum to find her details.

Gary Wu, you will find him on this forum. We used. Him many times, he is great!

Hi hello sailor, our son when he was about 4.5, used to pull his hair at the back, creating quite a bald patch. A psychiatrist friend said it was stress and nervousness but I really believe it was just a bad habit he got into, like biting nails, or sucking thumbs. I always held his hand when I realised he was doing it and told him to stop. I would often also give him something to hold \ fumble with. I also took a photo of the back of his head to show him how it looked. After about 4 months he stopped and the hair grew back. Now I look back on it as just another phase that passed. Don't worry too much, I am sure your little one will grow out of it soon!

This is all so helpful! Thank you cactus and kikimac for sharing your experiences with me and fushia for the recommendation, I will contact katdew soon. Love this forum!

Thanks for your replies, lot to read up on and think about and your suggestions and advice is very much needed and appreciated!

Marble run is great fun too!

I would really appreciate some advice, after having been given a treatment plan today that scares me! My son is 5. About 5 months ago i noticed a small black spot on two of his back teeth. Made an appointment straight away at the local dentist. My son was being a bit difficult so they swiftly referred me onto kings. It took 4 months to get an appointment. We finally went today, only to be told to come back again in another month's time for actual treatment. In the meantime, even though me and hubby always scrub his teeth properly twice daily, his two teeth have got so bad (according to dentist at kings) that they either have to be pulled or covered in stainless crowns. They say a normal filling is not an option as it would not last. They want to sedate him and give him local anaesthetic to put the crowns on. I am not happy and my feeling is I will not go through with this plan, but i would love to hear any opinions, and suggestions. Is this normal? I have never heard of crowns on milk teeth?! And please do not write giving me a lecture about sugar free snacks etc that's not what I need. Thanks very much.

Followed the link and signed the petition. They have around 2500 signartues and need 5000! Hope they reach that target.

Thank you, will pay them a visit On the weekend

Does anyone know where one can go for a bra fitting? Somewhere nearby would be handy. Thanks

http://wrightsonandplatt.com a London company specialising in life casts, but you could ask them if they could make this. Amazing quality, and lovely people to deal with!

Thank you for the replies,you confirmed what I thought was the right way of working it all out, it makes sense to work it out in hours.

Hi, does anyone know how this works for part time staff (such as myself) I work 24 hours a week in total, I worked out my holiday entitlement in days and it comes to 16.8 days, but should I not work it out in hours instead? My thinking is that when I take a day off, I only really have to take 4 hours off as that is how much I work per day (except for a Wednesday when I work 8 hours) How does it actually work? Many thanks for your help / ideas / thoughts

Thanks for all the messages, we found a nice little place through TripAdvisor. ;)

Trying to plan a christmas getaway, but dont know where to start looking for accomodation. Has anyone been recently, can you recommend a specific place to stay or a good website to start with? Many thanks.

If you want something really special check out Wrightson&Platt. Www.wrightsonandplatt.com They do amazing quality life casts in bronze!

we went to Charlton Lido on wednesday and absolutely lovedit!! its only 25 mins in the car, well worth it!!

My little one is 4 and a real mommy's boy, we never spent more than 8 hours without each other, until last month when I left him with the grandparents for 7 sleeps. He was great and really enjoyed himself. So much that he didnt even want to phone or skype! I was very surprised how well he took it and its great to know he can be so confident being away from his parents, especially as he is to start school in September.
