My sense of Xmas spirit has left me today, thanks to the scumbag white van man/men who decided they would help themselves to the moving trolley we had put outside our house ready to place a large fridge/freezer on for removal. You knew you were doing wrong judging on the speed with which you helped yourself to the item and tore off in your lovely white van. Didn't the front door being open and 2 men carrying a rather large fridge freezer down the hallway give you a clue that it wasn't up for grabs!


Being 8 months pregnant and having to deal with this kind of cr*p on Xmas Eve does nothing for my Xmas spirit, so I hope the Grinch comes a biting!! (I know you won't read this, but it's made me feel a little better!)

Thank you so much for the offer DulwichDeviant, it really is very kind of you. Thankfully, a friend of ours down the road was available and kindly helped hubby manhandle the fridge freezer all the way down the street (as I was totally useless), much to the amusement of many passers by. Thankfully, there was no snow! Merry Xmas to you Dulwichdeviant - hope you have a good one!

So sorry to hear that, it's the last thing you need right now! Doesn't surprise me though, I see those white vans cruising our street looking in gardens on an hourly basis during the day.


Have a lovely Xmas x

But this is what people do, and have done since time immemorial.


Lock your things away and double lock your door and windows every time you go out. Don't leave things outside unattended that people can lift easily, otherwise lift it they will.

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway. 
    • Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
    • You are welcome to have mine for free. I was just about to post! Three panels - 6ft by 5ft - weathered/natural on one side and painted brown on the other.
