I bought 100 Euros from the Post Office in Stroud on 12 March. I believed that I had put the notes in my wallet. When I came to use on holiday, the notes weren’t there. I’m back now and today checked that the post office weren’t aware. A long shot I know: is anyone aware?

While out in Stroud today for the Autumn Arts Trail I dropped my scrunchie. I was walking all over town to visit the different art studios - near the farmer's market in the town centre, Cheapside Car Park and in a number of residential areas - so have no idea where I dropped it. It's a patchwork purple and fuschia scrunchie with some grey and navy blue bits as well (see picture) made from recycled kimono fabric, long shot but thought I'd try to get reunited with it. Thanks!

Hi 

Moving to the area very soon, any vet recommendations would be much appreciated.

I notice Starbucks are moving in! It’s a shame…. But are those units outside air conditioning or air source heating….? Or is that a really stupid question?!

In my yellow backpack, there are contact lenses case, cleaner, pyjama etc.

Lost in cashes green /victory Park area on Thursday August 11th am. 

I'm unsure if I'm doing the right thing, but we need help and I'm getting nowhere, through the normal channels. 

My family and I have recently moved into the Cashes Green area, having been offered a council house, after a year of being in emergency accommodation, it was a great relief to finally get the kids settled. 

Unfortunately, that relief was short lived. 

To give you a bit of background about myself. 

I have chronic respiratory disease and am operating on less than 26% lung volume. 

I'm prone to repeated infections which usually end up me being in a bad state in Gloucester Royal. 

This is where I am now. I had covid, then covid pneumonia and now pneumonia on both lungs with a variety of infections. 

All this damage, plus what I had previously means I'm in trouble. 

I'm stable at the moment, but if things aren't sorted at home, I won't be stable for long. 

We have two major problems stopping me from living with my wife and kids. 

Firstly, all the ancient plaster is coming off the walls, creating alot of dust. Obviously dust of that nature is a serious no, no with someone who has respiratory problems. 

All the rooms are affected, but so far the council has point blanked refused to repair and reskim the walls. 

I have had our OT on it, as well as the local Councillor and MP. They have all stressed the urgency of getting that house upto stratch. 

However all I get from the council are excuses after excuses, not to get the jobs done. 

The second problem we have, is only one toilet, which is upstairs. 

Stairs are a total disaster now, and so unless I was a prisoner upstairs, I wouldn't be able to use the toilet. 

As I said, the council are well aware of these issues, but I'm not getting anywhere, and neither are the people acting on our behalf. 

So now instead of concentrating on getting as good as I can be, I'm constantly stressed and worried that things like care packages etc won't be possible until the work is completed or at least underway. 

I'm perfectly happy to remain upstairs while a second toilet is done, but for me, the most important factor, is getting those walls done. 

I have even considered paying private and somehow recoup the money back from the council, through a court if necessary to get the work started. 

What's so frustrating, is that the length of time I have been in here, it could have been sorted by now. 

If there is anyone that can help, then please feel free to contact me. 

I have lost two necklaces which I was taking to the jewellers to be mended.  They were in a sandwich bag and have strong sentimental value to me.  Please reply if you have found them.
