any updates on this? thinking of moving from hornsey rise (I guess it's a bad omen when you wait till Saturday morning so you can go to Camidoc instead because they do a more thorough consultation).
Loathe to leave Islington for the above reason, b…
Just make sure you get on the waiting lists. The great white flight kicks in when kids approach secondary school and those families will have younger siblings in infants that will go with them.
If you're on Tollington Park, think you need to be re…
Think you may have more joy if you offer housework and childcare in addition to French and German lessons, and promise not to have noisy sex with your boyfriend. Oh - and maybe a CRB...?
I went to Toni and Guy ages ago. It was the crappest most expensive cut I've ever had. Hairdresser was an arse - wouldn't stop banging on about himself.
My hairdresser comes to me from Kennington, and I've been with him for about eight years. He's …
PV wrote a column in Observer Food Monthly recently about a drinks party she held for her birthday. Describing the various types of guests, she used the term MILF. I can't be bothered to look it up I'm afraid. You'll just have to take my word for it.
was going to say that I hear great things about NI, then I thought there's no point - all this stuff's so subjective. What might be great for some parents & kids will be poo for others.
@ colette - don't be shy about getting your name down everywhere and pestering. we got the place at bowlers by me calling them out of the blue after his name had been down for three months.
Don't panic! You may have to compromise inthe first instance but places do come up. Bowlers on crouch hill is good. Tiny todds okay. Margaret macmillan supposed to be very good but likely to be over subscribed.
There's one on blythwood rd which is …
awww - we'll miss the sheep. i really liked the way they were positioned so after your kids had a closer look and the guy behind the counter said 'baa' , they only had to look up to be confronted by the real, skinned sheep heads for sale.
I can't bear either. The worst thing is that loads of women - like Polly bloody Vernon are happy to use both terms without any sense of irony. Like it's not enough to be a goddam mother - you're only of value if you've managed to do it all and still…
Hi Sugar Lounge - thanks for feedback, and your offer of more info - could you tell me how many shots of rum go into the jugs of mojito?
@ ADGS - I thought it was funny.
I have a different problem with this place, and wouldn't dream of going there ever again, but my friends seem to like it so I get over ruled.
We had four jugs of mojito lastnight between five of us, which cost £100. You'd think that we'd be hammer…
We had John on Friday (as recommended by Ian on previous thread). His number's 07956 693122.
He quoted £50 (they were really dirty), I haggled him down to £35 in and out for the whole house, but felt a bit crap about that so gave him £40.
Our wind…
@ Ali - I'm beginning to suspect they're ripping me off too. I won't go into detail, but in the last twelve months, I've had three fillings (one of which left me with really bad toothache, although they denied any responsibility), and they couldn't …
Great story Misscara. A similar thing happened to me yesterday in Pain Quotidien near the Royal Free. I asked how much the bag of granola was (which would have done me three breakfasts, maybe four). She grimaced, shook her head, and said: '£6.80. To…
Yay! Congratulations Donna W.
Can only really recommend the place in NZ where we did it (The Church, Hahei, Coromandel). You should be able to come within budget. Guests might be a bit thin on the ground though.
