Ok, very exciting day tomorrow, I'm going to view a property! Right next to our rented building are a block of 4 flats, the building used to be something to do with a brewery. It has come on the market for a bargain price. We are thinking that I could live in the top half of the building with my family (have been looking at moving anyway) and have the preschool below, possibly expanding to a day nursery in the future. I'm hoping that as it used to be a business, swapping the downstairs back to business use shouldn't be too much of problem. Has anyone had any experience of buying building, what do I need to do, who do I need to speak to as regards planning etc, I'm assumin…

Hello everybody!! I let my membership lapse last October as I tend not to go on the laptop these days as I now have an spangly android phone, but after a little message from a friend on FB, I decided to come on to see if I could provide any help and encouragement. Not only did I end up joining again, but I have now added FSF as a bookmark on my phone!! Been looking around tonight and as I expected, this site and the people who use it, are as friendly, knowledgable, supportive and witty as ever!! Shame on me if I don't come on here again!!

The blow is somewhat softened by knowing that I won't be forcing parents to find alternative childcare for their children, but as you can imagine, it has been a difficult decision. Sooner or later I'll have to think about what life will be like after July, but really I have no idea what I want to do. When the sadness has worn off, I guess it could be …

Is anyone else having trouble with the ITV transmission? Yesterday the picture was pixelated on ITV 1 and 3 and today the sound keeps cutting out and the picture keeps pausing. Wondered if it's regional or more widespread - ours is the Mendip transmitter. I have retuned my tv. ppp
