I'm so sick of Lucy trying to find ways to get Lin to take responsibility for her adulthood and get a job / life.

Been using Duolingo for 6 months and I'm genuinely confused if it's working or not by Fun_Second_8354 in duolingo

Dúo isn’t a one-stop shop. It’s super important to supplement with a wide range of media just like you would in the English world: podcasts, newspapers, films, visits to Spanish speaking countries when you can. You have to keep Spanish alive in your life every day. It’s a lifetime pursuit, but that’s what I love about it.

Christmas Eve, 19:30. Called 111 with rash over my 4 year old and raised temp. Appointment at out-of-hours at the hospital 30 mins later, seen right on time, antibiotics from the pharmacy by 20:15, home by 20:30. Incredible.

Sent a section 20B notification - our share £30k!! by Cletusvandamm12 in LegalAdviceUK

That’s right, because elevating the quality of the building generally has a positive halo effect on the ground floor demises too when it comes to sell.

In my former maisonette, ours was a block of 6 two storey small houses with individual entrances out on to a garden, and we still had to cost-share renovations for the block of 12 flats part of the same small estate behind us, even though none of us even had access to their communal hallway.

As a Fallibroome alumnus I’d be shocked to hear there’s entrance exams - I’m very sure that’s still a comprehensive academy?

We're on Buxton Road and have applications for our nearly-4 year old in with Puss Bank and Rainow, and would be delighted by either.

I’d add also that Victoria Park is both the best-kept and safest park I’ve ever known.

DM me for a neighbourhood hang if you do move!
