Goodenoch: You can’t even use your full chest to name names. I am the one who has been posting about role models for my daughter. As a woman, I am again using my full chest to say I will jump at the prospect of my teenage daughter meeting Kemi Badenoch. It’s your cuppa tea if you dislike Kemi’s politics, but if my daughter achieves what Kemi has achieved (and over), I will be a fulfilled woman. I note your closing sentence. Good! Far be it that you will stand on some moral high ground to diminish Kemi’s achievements. Or indeed any other black wiman who has swam against the odds to achieve what they have achieved. 1 Like |

Osoderi:It's a straightforward process. First, your theory test. Then, book a driving test date. Finally, book a driving instructor. Don't book an instructor before ing your theory test, as it might be a waste of money. They care more about making money than they care about you and I bet that if you reached out after ing your theory test, he would still have available dates for you. ing the hazard perception is easy. Just the Theory 4in1 app and practice with it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Goodenoch: My comment included the phrase "or any MP" - without dredging up the past, menacing language has been used against certain MPs on this thread. |

Osoderi: It's fine to start your practical lessons while studying to retake your theory. In fact the practical lessons should help with the hazard perception and other elements you might be struggling on as a good instructor should be teaching you to identify hazards along the way. It's personal preference, the only legal requirement is that you your theory before you take your practical test. Is the vehicle electric? I think £40ph is an average/ good price at the moment. However I would recommend you do a trial lesson with him before committing to 10 lessons, so you get a feel for his teaching technique and you can also ask him to estimate how many lessons he thinks you might need after he's assessed your driving. Also ask him about his availability - ideally you want to take lessons during daylight hours and also when it's dark so that you are comfortable driving at night. 2 Likes |

jedisco:I noticed this too and houses are leaving the market as fast as they drop. Banks like Nationwide offering 6 times people’s income is also a win for the housing market. I’ve been monitoring interest rates like a hawk and I just read that Bank of England could cut the interest rates further. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2lp5l9dpro.amp |

Zahra29: I agree with this rhetoric. Most trainers are out there for your money especially “our people”. He should book a 10hrs slot and see if he/ she is a good trainer. |

Osoderi: Do you really want to get on the road driving among other people without having a firm grasp of the basic theoretical aspects of it? What road signs mean and how you should react to them, what you should do when there's a hazard up ahead etc. You say you'll be driving your husband's car but bear in mind that unlike an instructor's, there won't be a second set of pedals he can use to take control if you're endangering yourself or other road s. Prepping for the theory test takes a couple of days to a couple of weeks depending on how much time you put into it. I can't see any good reason not to settle down and do it before you get on the road. You can, legally, but I don't think it'd be prudent. 2 Likes |

kwakudtraveller: We're in a rate cutting cycle and baring any unforseen circumstance, rates are expected to drop but not as low as they were pre-covid as it's clear all that did was to inflate asset prices. The govt is pushing to increase supply of new homes but a huge bottle neck not yet visibly considered is the workforce to build such houses in an affordable way. Eitherway, getting on the housing ladder early is advantageous |
missjekyll: 2:49am On Oct 04, 2024 |
rock86: Sure. Checking affordability. |

jedisco: They're still talking about it, but I don't see them coming anywhere near their so-called target of 300k homes a year for this parliament. As you've said, not only is there a huge lack of skilled labour to do the actual building (which might mean easing visa restrictions again, something Labour has no stomach for), the whole planning regulations thing is still not sorted, let alone even being addressed, and of course, this being the UK, they're as always torn between being fully European (public sector-led) and American (private sector led) in their planning, so facing both ways on anything they do. The truth is that the private sector alone will never build anything near the number of homes needed or even planned for - it's profit focused. If the government wants anything tangible done it has to directly commission these things itself. Postwar and up till the 60s, the central government built housing, directly commissioning the builders, etc. These days, the private builders have no interest in mass housing as that collapses their profits. Very understandable - they are businesses, not charities. They hoard land, build matchboxes, do everything possible to maximise profit. The government knows this but still continues to spout platitudes - ultimately nothing will be done and in some years to come they will fight another election on the same promises. |

Morning all, could someone please suggest a cure for eczema and itchy skin for a 3-year-old girl based on past experience, please? She's had eczema since she was 1 year old, initially appearing only on both knees. We've been using Aveeno cream since then, but it got worse this year when it started appearing all over her body. We took her to the GP, and she prescribed a steroid. It clears it away temporarily, but it comes back even more after withdrawing the steroids. She keeps waking up during the night due to itching and can sometimes take 1 to 2 hours before she falls back asleep. As a result of the scratching, we also can't sleep until she sleeps. She's not always in a good mood during the day as she spends lots of time scratching all over her body. She's been sent back home a couple of times from nursery due to that. List of stuff we've used: Aveeno, Zerobase, Hydromol, Epimax, Dermol lotion for bathing, steroid cream, Piriton for itching (this makes her too sleepy). |

Schoolhike: I suffer from horrific eczema as does one of my daughters and I use Dream Cream from Lush. It's pricey but it's also the only thing that keeps me sane in the last 10 odd years. I slather it on day and night. You should be able to get the non drowsy piriton as well 7 Likes 5 Shares |

Sounds somewhat similar to my daughter as well. We initially used aveeno dermexa which kind of worked but we've perm switched to Cetaphil which completely stopped it. Schoolhike: 5 Likes 2 Shares |
