  1. My son really wants some earmuffs but the only ones I have seen are overtly feminine. Anyone seen somewhere to buy them in a style suitable for boys thanks, Karen.
  2. Can I ask police? Not sure that is a service they offer but guess if it had turned into something awful they would contact me as witness?? It never crossed my mind could be a scam, how out of touch I am!
  3. At about quarter to five this morning I was taking my son to SELDOC and when we drove past tesco metro at the top of rye lane/bottom of the common, (same side as the rye pub but a couple of hundred yards nearer peckham) there was a man chasing another man with a huge knife. The man being pursued was desperately afraid and trying to get traffic to stop and help him. As a female on my own with a sick four year old there was not much I could do except pull over and call the police. Am really hoping that this situation was resolved without injury and the guy concerned made it home safely. If you are that man or know him and can tell me he is safe I would most appreciated it. Thanks
  4. Russell the private physio with treatment rooms upstairs at DMC crystal palace road.
  5. I moved from DMC about a year and a half ago. Because I have an ongoing medical problem I ordered a copy of my computer notes so I could show my new doctor if needed. Randomly spread through my notes were copies from someone else's file, maybe twenty pages in all of very private information. I contacted PALS who sent someone to my house to collect the papers and they also contacted the other person to let them know. No one from DMC ever contacted me to explain or apologize and a year and a half later my file has still not arrived at the new doctors. Shabby stuff. Unfortunately the new doctors is equally as appalling in handling repeat prescriptions and appointments.
  6. Oh no don't say that I just signed up. Bodsier, are you talking about the TV service? Unclear why phone and broadband would stop you watching a TV show?
  7. You should also be able to make the phone 'scream' why not try that and see if you can hear it from outside? Otherwise I guess you inform the police, you have no idea what trouble might be waiting for you on the other side of the door? Good luck
  8. Fountains at Somerset house.
  9. katgod, that sums up my feelings exactly. The flexibility has existed without wholesale chaos and was in existance when I chose to have my son. When I tell my 93 yr old grandmother that her youngest great grand child can't go to her birthday celebration without us being fined she is, quite rightly, going to think its bonkers. Not sure that at 93 she will be still around when he finishes school or that my son will learn to value and respect old people by being forced to miss it. A year ago my mum decided to delay retirement to save for the holiday of a life time visiting the baby whales in mexico, a trip like that can completly change a childs future, sparking a profound love of nature and the enviroment, a future in marine biology? Who knows? I do know if he doesn't get to do it until he leaves school his educational choices will already have been made. Perhaps the Whales could be persuaded to birth only during school hols?
  10. bornagain, I can assure you that I am not a member of the squezzed middle classes but in fact stupidly poor and you are quite right, when my child starts school, I will never be able to afford to take him anywhere. Being poor however doesn't mean that I don't know the educational and personal value of travel. When wealthier parents are buying their kids the latest most expensive gear are they considering the impact of their actions on other children/parents/wider community? Of course not. As our children are supposed to have their own personal learning journey it doesn't make the slightest difference to anyone else if he occasionally misses time for educational trips.

  12. Room on the Broom at the Lyric Theatre is super. Combine with a visit to Rain Forest Cafe and its a lovely afternoon out.
  13. yes tomk, I have also started to cringe at the not too subtle pushing of this event.
  14. the only ones I can find online cost ?8 delivery. If not basketball then has anyone seen sponge footballs? thanks
  15. ?30?, about right really, http://christmastree-farm.co.uk/Prices.html
  16. I also loved Daves class, count us in.
  17. also love my kindle, have the same case with light, no problems at all.
  18. there was a 'manny' advertising on here not so long ago and he had a big positive response. As a single mum to a boy its def something I would do as a way of introducing more males into my sons life.
  19. yes maybe Macd but good idea re coffee shop and will take some ready made but had been worried that carton size was too large. Slightly less concerned now a number of options are apparent. Thanks ladies.
  20. does anyone know if we will be able to buy fresh milk for bottle in the main olympic park? The thought of an unusually late bed time but no bottle for tired child fills me with fear!
  21. thanks, all done 3 second job.
