Hae PM'd you, TonyQuinn

There was an electrical explosion below ground in the outdoor car park of the Woodvale Estate. Made a terrific bang and lifted the ground. Not sure what the fault was but power was restored within a few hours.

Just to say this happened to my nanny today. Her purse was in the buggy and it was stolen in the space of about 10 minutes. She saw the time on her phone (15:03) when she put it next to her purse in the buggy. When she checked again at 15:11 her purse was gone! Just to remind everyone to be vigilant and if anyone by any chance sees a pink and beige purse discarded in the park, could they let me know.

Anyone know what is going on there? Since the lady with the animals was evicted and the house sold on by bank to developers, there does not appear to be much happening. I had thought the developers wanted to convert it into flats and build some new houses on the site.

Any Dubai expats with kids on this forum? How do you find living there?

I need to do more public speaking in my job now and absolutely dread it. Just wondered if there are any voice or public speaking coaches out there?

Does anyone know if it is possible to set up entourage to send emails from @domainname.com rather than @gmail.com? It is possible to do this on iPhone and iPad but have trawled the internet and can't find a way to set this up on entourage.

Does anyone know if Surya Yoga Studios are still going in Balham? It is run by a lady called Jen and they mainly do Ashtanga Yoga. I tried to access the website today to look up the class timetable as I have not been since November. But the site is down. The phone does not seem to be connected either. I am hoping there are some forumites who go to her classes and am keeping fingers crossed that the classes are still running.

Thanks for the advice KateW and Supergolden88. It is really useful to know what your experience of all this is. Funnily enough he slept for 2.5 hours again this afternoon.....let's see!

Just wondered how it was going? My baby is a little younger than yours (5 months) and sleeps from 7-7 with a dream feed at 10-11pm. He also settles for naps but was waking up after 45 mins. We were going in before he was waking and shushing which was mostly successful, and he would sleep for another 45-90mins. However, I am back at work soon and wanted to try and make him sleep longer unaided so that I am not worrying about his naps when he is being looked after by our nanny. He had also started waking up in the night and needed resettling (not feeding) and I thought that this may be helped by not needing settling during the day. Anyway, I thought I would try CC and was encouraged by your post. IT took 4 days. First day he cried for about 45mins and resttled the same the 2nd day. 3rd day it was about 20 mins and 4th day about 10mins. He then slept for 2.5 hours for 5 days...until the last 2 days where he has awoken at 45 mins and not resettled. Just wondered what yours and others experience was? Should I go back to the old technique or would you restart the CC again?

DOes anyone have any contact details or website details for Tayo's Kung Fu at Dulwich College?

Dear All - thanks for the replies. I will check them out. There don't seem to be any judo classes in the area for children or does anyone know of any?

Does anyone know of any local karate or judo classes which are run by friendly instructors and which a ballet-loving 5 year girl old might enjoy?
