Caught in the rain earlier coming home from a pram walk. Felt like I was in a bad spin off, Mum SAS! Drenched whilst running, pushing pram, balancing a full shopping basket! At least I burnt calories from the cake slice I had post walk! π #mumlife#londonweather#britishsummer
Might have to give up on the #uber rides from now on! A more than double surcharge sent to my phone after driver arrives when en route to catch the Eurostar! #fail#CustomerExperience#Ridiculousness#uber
@LBofBromley please can you explain where residents are meant to take plastic wrapping that can be recycled for recycling!? Local collections will not take and neither will the Waldo recycling centre! #recycling#plasticfree#plastic#Packaging
@crostamollica Hi there, thanks for your reply. That is good news that you seem to be moving in the right direction. I know it's tough but would also really appreciate the piada packaging to be changed somehow as our local recycling doesn't take plastic wrapping!
