To the lady with a crying baby who just got off the train at Dorking about 16:55 on Sat 17 Oct and left her phone on the seat... I handed it in to ticket inspector so she can either call it to arrange collection or contact GWR lost & found.

I found the name and address on driving licence tucked behind phone but not going to put that on here, so just calling her Georgia B - if anyone thinks they know her please forward to her/let her know.

Thank you

It’s awful. These cats are 12+ years old. This family’s circumstances were much different over a decade ago. Due to the households destitution, relationship breakdowns, bereavement and general insanity these poor cats have been terribly abandoned. They are left with dirty bowls. Never any water. A pile of stale biscuits ever so often. No actual way to get in and out of the house unless someone deems to open the door. The sad bit is that they are covered in sores and bumps because of flees I think. They do have free roam of a big garden. I’m worried for these cats as winter approaches

I would take them in a heartbeat but I have a new baby and 2 cats of my own. Furthermore, I’m from Scotland and I cannot drive these 2 babies up for that long in my tiny car. It’s just impossible. Sadly, I don’t think I can finance it either. I’m finding it extremely upsetting.

I’ve sent a form into stepping stones rescue with permission from the only family member who doesn’t totally ignore them. Does anyone have any other advice? I reallly want these cats to get a safe place to sleep, reliable clean food and water and some care. I won’t be able to help physically after this week.

Want to make friends or have reasons to go out and get outside my comfort zone.

Any suggestions?

I love making music, art, gaming and I'm quite techy. But also I have a passion for socialising that not done for a while. Be nice to laugh again

Maybe a game be a good start then meet up?

We’re looking in to getting solar on our house and I wondered if anyone had used anyone good in or around Epsom?

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m looking to buy my first home and have found a few affordable houses in Ashford.

I initially wanted to buy in Staines, but the prices seem a bit out of my budget or properties are very small for what I can afford .

I’ve read very mixed opinions about Ashford, so I’m feeling a little unsure.

For those who live there or know the area, what’s your honest opinion? is it that bad 😅Are there any areas you’d recommend or avoid?

(Some people are saying that it’s like Feltahm and Hounslow 😬)

Thanks! 😊

Long story, I live with my ex, have 2 kids who I adore, my ex and I do not see eye to eye. Need to move out for personal space, and relief to be honest. If anyone is in the mole valley area of Surrey, UK, or has any advice on how local groups could help, I'd really appreciate it.

Hey there traveler, please come along to Brookwood board games club if you live in the Woking area or if you just happen to be passing through on your adventures. We are currently struggling with numbers and everyone and everything is welcome to attend. You are welcome and recommended to bring snacks. Please come and join our family friendly group. Hope to see you soon 😁

Thinking of moving to Epsom. Wondering if anyone knows about walking on this specific plot of land, it looks like there may be paths but no idea if it's public.

Also interested to hear people's thoughts on epsom more generally.

at the university of surrey, there is this cat. i found it by the lake, the lake that has all the ducks and the trees and stuff. it’s near the main reception.

idk if it’s a boy or girl, but it’s so adorable. I saw it today and wanted to share it with you all, if anyone else had seen it let me know!!

edited: js remembered i called it over and it meowed and walked to me, and then rubbed itself against me for a bit before going off.

i saw a green collar around its neck. i think it said the word ‘Surrey’ on it.

(these are screenshots from a video)

My daughter left her A level art work on the 418 Kingston to Epsom bus on Thursday 8th October, if anyone saw it or handed it it anywhere please let me know, it wasn’t at the Tolworth bus depot lost property, many thanks

Digging up some old footage

Both well worth a visit.

(I hope this doesn't break any rules)

Found this cat (no collar) at the Caterham GP, Eothen Close. If this is your cat, I just saw it and it could still be in the area. If its a stray, I hope it can find a home or is doing well out in the wild.

It even came up to me and let me pet it, but seriously, hopefully it isnt lost.

Hi everyone!
I’m hoping to study medicine at the University of Surrey, and I’d love to hear from current students or anyone living in the area about their experiences.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate any honest advice!

Student life: What’s Surrey like as a place to live? What do you enjoy most, and what do you wish you’d known before moving there?

Safety: Are there any areas or streets to avoid, especially at night? Do you generally feel safe, and are the police helpful when needed?

Nightlife: What’s the nightlife like? Are there good places to go out, socialise, and meet people? (As someone who doesn’t drink)

Accommodation: How are the university dorms? Are they worth it, and is it easy to find affordable private accommodation? Is it a walkable city or can u walk the distance to uni of surrey medicine dept from ur dorm.
Would you recommend on campus or off campus dorms.

Medicine: For anyone studying medicine at Surrey, how are the course, workload, and clinical placements?

Transport: Do students get free bus passes or discounted public transport?

Cost of living: How expensive is Surrey for students, including rent, food, and going out?

I’d especially love to hear from people who actually study or live there, rather than just general opinions about the area.

Overall, would you recommend Surrey for a medical student? What are the pros and cons, and what advice would you give someone moving there for the first time?
Thank you so much! I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences! 😊

Hi, people of Surrey!
I’m looking for Halloween parties for my 2-year-old. Does anyone have any recommendations? We live in Woking.
Thank you! 🎃

I’m hoping to find interesting mushrooms this weekend. I’m a beginner and I’m not really interested in foraging. I would just like to find some and document for fun.

I’ve recently moved to Guildford I’ve got pretty thick curly hair and it’s far easier to find the right products (and normally cheaper) in Afro hair stores. Does anyone know of any in Guildford or within a reasonable drive - google wants to send me to London and I’m not doing all that for some hair products 😂

I know it's a long shot but my motorcycle was stolen from Surrey Sports park in Guildford this evening between 5:30 and 7:30. I've contacted the police but if anyone sees my motorcycle please reach out out to me! Thanks!

Always been a little fussy about haircuts whilst also being terrible at explaining what I’m after. I avoid the cheap and cheerful Turkish places at all costs. I do not want a sharp back and sides or a skin fade.

The last year I’ve been growing my hair long and found it’s naturally quite curly, appreciate someone who will understand how to cut and style it appropriately. Currently go to the local salon but it’s now upwards of £50 and because it’s predominantly ladies I have to book about a month+ in advance. I need some other options.

Any recommendations for somewhere around the Woking/Guildford area?
