[Someaddedsugar]

Just starting a new thread for anyone who wants to join!

Does anyone know if boyes is still at the Arnison Centre please? I genuinely can’t remember seeing it!

Yes, Boyes is still at Arnison, either next door to Wilko or almost. @Florelei

Thank you @AlviarinAesSedai!

@Someaddedsugar was it you looking at scouts?

Is everyone enjoying the sun and heat. I’m melting 🫠. But my washing is dry. 😆

I'm thinking of hiding in our lovely cool front room for most of the afternoon! I can't even sew because what I'm doing needs the iron a lot!

Too hot but my front room is also cool

Anyone see the Northern Echo on Facebook. Anyone local to me, the Dr who died last year. The inquest has just been. Very sad and the rumour mill in village is in overdrive.

I've just put the heating on for a bit. The flat is really chilly tonight! 🥶🥶🥶

Oh dear! It's warm all the way down South, where I am.

... Halfway between Grimsby and Borkum!

@AlviarinAesSedai I thought the doctor was involved in a car accident?

We've had a drying week but it looks miserable outside today, and last night was freezing!

Hope everyone's ok? It's our busy period at work atm so feel like I haven't been on Mumsnet for ages!

Thanks @lifelongfrugaleer! Sorry I didn't get a notification for your post. I've had an email from someone re beavers and have requested a start date but not heard anything since. I'll PM you now to see if you know the group!

Ah sorry @Someaddedsugar i read your pm before I read the thread. Replying now

@Someaddedsugar the inquest has just been. If you follow The Medical centre on Facebook. They have issued a statement.

@AlviarinAesSedai I wasn't expecting to read that - I assumed it was a tragic accident. How awful!

@Someaddedsugar i know! Just awful.

I can remember when he died ….some of my friends were his patients and very upset. This will be difficult for a lot of people to come to terms with

Oh dear

Oh crikey.

How sad x

Anyone’s local school affected by the concrete? I know St Leonard’s in Durham is.
Also anyone local to Stanley see the bother last night! Police have issued a dispersal order!

It seems to be catholic schools that are disproportionately affected by the RAAC in our area.

I know there was a school in Darlington that had a delayed start, and quite a few in Newcastle were closed but hoping to be open by October. I imagine it's really difficult for parents, kids and teachers with this one as it feels a bit like the unknown (like covid all over again!)

One primary in Darlington was delayed start, one secondary has a block cordoned off and pack lunches as the kitchen is affected.
ferry hill comp is mixed off site and online I think

then Durham J as you mention
