Bunny poop.

Any company in England selling goods with over 250 employees is going to be doing the same. It's not exclusive to Sainsbury's marketing department. It's already happened in Scotland and Wales.

I sent him several emails and never received a reply. He is a doctor.

You should be told if you are in a contract race! Otherwise you could waste money on surveys for no reason! Tell the estate agent that the solicitor has gone on holiday, and reiterate it's the one they recommended. Someone should have been given the files to deal with, his/her assistant or secretary.....you could always contact the owner of the conveyancing firm and tell them your feelings. The estate agents are probably getting a fee for recommending you.

It sounds like the seller has told the estate agent when they want you to exchange. It's not normal to exchange before surveys and searches. Is there a chain, meaning are the people you are buying from buying something else? If so, it could be that their seller is pushing them, and so on up the line. Are you sure you aren't in a contract race with another purchaser? This happened to me once, as it turned out that the seller had accepted three offers, including one from me and it was a question of who could exchange and complete first. I pulled out. I believe you can exchange before surveys etc. come back, but you would have to take out insurance to cover this, and it's really not a very good idea. Buying a leasehold flat is usually a lot more complicated than a freehold house, as the solicitor has to read the lease thoroughly, and the seller's information form, as well as ask questions of the freeholder about past and future repairs, charges etc. I wouldn't be swayed by the estate agent, just tell him you are going as fast as possible and that you are waiting for various bits of information to come back. Don't be afraid to call your solicitor and ask questions about how long things are taking. I haven't heard of changing solicitors in the middle of the process, I guess it could be done, but you might have to pay two sets of fees.

Konditor and Cook in Waterloo used to do nice ham and cheese ones.

And it's very close to the shops.....

Third for the Lidl croissants, especially considering the price. They reheat well over a day or so.

Must be time for another best brownies in East Dulwich thread now.

The Gardens charge slightly less than ?50 now.

Google chocolate wacky cake, depression cake and crazy cake. Recipes are egg and dairy free.

Oatmeal and cottage cheese pancakes. For one serving, take half cup porridge oats, half cup cottage cheese, 2 eggs, or 4 egg whites, 1 tsp vanilla, or other flavouring, like almond, lemon etc. if preferred, mix in bowl or whizz in liquidiser, drop spoonfuls in non stick pan/spray with cooking oil, and cook, watching carefully. Add fruit like blueberries if desired. Can eat plain or with toppings.

If you can get there before 5 pm, then Franklins are still offering their lunch menu which is good value.

If you are selling for a commission of say 1%, and the owner wants another ?50k for example, then the commission isn't that much more for the agent, so not really worth it for them, but of course it is for the owners. It's really going to be the owner driving the increase.

Try Stevie Thomas, she is mobile.

Try Stevie Thomas if you would like a home visit, I use her, and so do lots of other people now, she has lots of recommendations on here if you do a search.

I sometimes hear lots and lots early in the morning, say5/ 6 am onwards, then it cools off.

Where do you buy the spray from?

I used to live in the bottom two floors of a four story house with my own front door. The upstairs flat had a street door on the raised ground floor. They were broken into one night by someone kicking the door in because they had only had the Yale lock on, and were burgled while they slept on the top floor. They didn't hear a thing, and neither did I. They didn't find out until they came downstairs in the morning and saw the door hanging open.

Will check out Barry's asap.

Yes, seen that honey advertised in their window. From memory, just a normal sized jar, but it's 'local' ooh err, honey. They must be buying it from a local producer and marking it up by about fifty percent. Ayre's prices for some things are ridiculous, one roll is about 70 pence. Their hot cross buns are also expensive, in my opinion.

Looking for some really tasty tomatoes, any suggestions?

Melbourne Grove is better than they used to be as they now have a new head doctor. The Gardens shrank their catchment area, probably because of a mass exodus of patients from DMC in Crystal Palace Road.
