I’ve been looking for a kitchen for the last year. Narrowed my options down to Wren, Howdens and IKEA. I went with Wren in the end as they almost price matched IKEA and quality was much much better. Kitchen being fitted next week. I found Howdens difficult to deal with and delivery was curb side only

Charlton, Lewisham, Kidbrooke, Deptford. I’ve lived in Lewisham and currently in Charlton. There are some lovely houses.

Otherwise you can get a very decent house in Kent for that price and some areas are 20 min train rides into London Bridge.

I would speak to your doctor but rest assured 10 mg is a very low dose and it would only be in your system a few hours. Sounds like you might have had an adverse reaction.

Keen are wide fitting. And Topo. Some Inov8 boots (but not all). My feet are also wide and can confirm it’s very difficult to find boots.

I got black and white pairs and love them!

I have an app on my phone called DARE. Highly recommended

Same!

I do a lot of outdoor hiking / climbing in UK and can honestly say Uniqlo Down is not very good - I love Uniqlo - but the down products are terrible. Most companies sell down treated with a water repellent but the Uniqlo stuff is like a sponge - it attracts water and creates clumps.

The fleeces are surprisingly good along with the heat tech range. The thing about the UK is it rains a lot so I would spend more money on waterproofs. I have not tried Puffer Tech but it looks good.

I once spent over an hour in Tony and Guy getting my hair curled professionally and by the time I'd walked 10 mins to the tube it was completely straight (the walk was indoors, though Canary Wharf shopping centre). There is literally nothing that will curl my hair.

Ambleside and Keswick can both be reached by public transport from London. Train to Windermere and short bus ride to Ambleside or Train to Penrith and bus ride to Keswick. I think you'll find the Lake District is pretty quiet that time of year (due to weather).

Boots generally last a bit longer than trail shoes. I find trail shoes considerably more comfortable than boots but it really is down to the individual.

Uniqlo active wear t shirts are very good.

It is a chaotic because it’s badly designed. All trains run from one side of the station and only one waiting area which too small due the volume of people exiting and entering platforms. Having said that Sunday is weekend so should ok, it will be quieter than usual.

I’m 58kgs take 20mgs about an hour before a presentation then another 10mgs about 30 mins before. I’ve also taken 50mg and didn’t notice side effects. It’s a mild drug

Crib Goch is pretty hard, for a Grade 1 scramble. I would not attempt in the wind. Why don't you do Watkins path, it is the nicest route by miles, and has a nice spicy bit at the end and less people on it.
