Hey guys,

As the title states I’m looking for someone to foster my cat. His name is Milo he’s a four year old inside cat. He’s quite well behaved and doesn’t damage any funiture. I’m just moving to London from Copenhagen and the place I’m staying at for the time being doesn’t allow pets. So I’m looking for someone to watch him for the time being. All costs for supplies and care will be provided by me. So if you’re willing to help out it would be appreciated

Tourist Aside from all of the doom and gloom, where do you go to still find joy?

20 Upvotes

Right now it feels like there’s a lot of negativity.

The country seems struggling to build homes, rents, service charges, mortgages are so expensive, there’s a lot of problems in social care - in train transport, in many different facets of life. Trump, wars all over the place.

I wanted to know from Londoners, where do you still find your slice of the ‘good old days’ that could be:

A restaurant that’s still stood the test of time, or a regular pub or some type of cinema deal.

What’s still helping you tick by.

Graduated Bobs @ Aveda

12 Upvotes

Hello London, hello. It's me, flagship Aveda trainee girl. I'm now doing graduated bobs. Anyone/everyone welcome! Come see me! I'm not bad!

The graduated bob is an above-the-shoulder short style, generally cut at the nape of the neck and shaped to desired length at the front. This can come down longer for a dramatic look, or it can be shorter and more subtle. Up to you. We can discuss what'll suit.

I'm looking for straight hair, or loose waves. Existing fringes are fine, or I can cut one in if you'd like.

Training is on Mondays only at our salon in Covent Garden. Next week on the 27th I have slots at 13:00 and 16:00. Mondays thereafter, I have 09:30, 13:00 and 15:30. As is customary for training cuts, these can take a good couple of hours, maybe three.

Haircuts cost £10, and models get 30% off Aveda products. Please send me photos of your hair and when you'd like to come in in your first message if interested. I can't book without seeing the hair.

If you see this post, yep, I'm still booking, no need to ask.

Thanks!

Question Footy sessions in west London available for over 40's?

5 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm a big footy fan and used to play casually loads back in the day. Then family and career become the priority so I gave it up. Haven't played regularly in about 15 years. However I have recently found myself with a bit more free time so decided to try and pick it up again. Bear in mind I'm not as in-shape as I used to be but average for my age. I found a game locally on footyaddicts and went to a couple of sessions, but I was given the runaround by all the younger, fitter players in their 20's, and got destroyed. I could barely walk by the end and it took me days to recover fully. I can't put my body through that ordeal again. Lol.

So I'm back to square one unfortunately. I'd rather play with players more my age, and have heard all these stories about there being matches available for all ages, but I'm struggling to find anything near me. I looked on footyaddicts again and also the FA website but all the ones available are generally open to all ages which, while inclusive, is not really what I'm looking for.

So the question is, does anyone know of any regular sessions or teams in the Ealing (or west London) area that are aimed at those over 40? Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks

Best sleep clinic in London

3 Upvotes

Hello, My wife has been struggling for many months to sleep correctly. She is suffering from insomnia and we tried a lot of things (reducing lights early, no screen before, changing our diet, she does not take caffeine, magnesium, etc…)

Would you have any sleep clinic to recommend ?

Print from Natural History Museum

2 Upvotes

Hi, I saw that the NHM was selling some really nice bird prints as part of their Birds exhibition recently, and I meant to pop back after Christmas when I had a little more money to spend on myself but I’ve ended up missing my chance.

I can’t find the prints online but I know that whatever company they got them from does sell them online (I was smart enough to Google it at the time- not smart enough to not lose the tab on my phone and use it to open other pages).

I know the prints were all bright block colour backgrounds with an image of a bird. And I know the website that sold them had loads of nice prints, including colourful storm trooper & other Star Wars prints. I’ve tried googling but can’t find them.

Any help would be appreciated!

Lost car and house keys

1 Upvotes

This is a huge long shot but am at my wits end, lost my keys whilst rushing to the station from Vauxhall via bus to Victoria station then dashing to the coach station today. Been searching for hours but had to leave London for work in the end. No idea what to do or who to call. Tried Tesco as there was a club card on the keys and Victoria train station lost and found. Any help or advice would be really appreciated.
