Re: how many arguments is too many?

I think it varies per couple so hard to say what's normal/concerning.

If you both want to stop, then a brilliant person to help with this is Sally https://thelisteningroom.co/. She's got some good resources (video etc) on her website which might be worth starting with.

Re: How much does private healthcare cost and is it worth it?

My family has cover with WPA. A few things that made me opt for them: - It's a not-for-profit organisation - I have an individual I can call, who helped arrange the cover and also can help if I've got any questions along the way.  - Not all claims have to go via a GP as long as they're pre-approved....

Re: Will beneficiaries - advice please

I'd agree with the idea of reviewing your wills over time as you'll probably find your wishes change. For now, a really good person to talk this through with would be Arabella Murphy - https://propitiouslondon.com/.

Re: NV/Balham/Hyde farm - quietest streets. Advice needed

We're on Midmoor and I'd agree that it's extremely quiet. If the wind is in the right (wrong?) direction, we sometimes hear the odd train in the night. If there's any plane noise, it really stands out because it's an exception to the rule- I'm not sure I've ever seen one directly over head. (We've b...

Re: Husband has taken the kids away without consent after an argument

Priya Gill is a really lovely, experienced family lawyer who can assist with divorce and child arrangements. I would strong advise seeking legal advice sooner rather than later so you know where you stand, and what steps you can take.  https://www.familylawyerlondon.co.uk/services-divorce-family-law...

Re: Menopause Woes - Please help

Another recommendation for trying a homeopathic approach. (I am not someone who typically subscribes to this, but it did wonders for me!)

Sarah Davison specialises in the menopause and is a lovely person to talk to.

Re: Can anyone recommend an amazing tutor who can help my 10 yr old son who has processing issues /dyslexia

We are going through similar issues with my 9 year old son at the moment. Like yours, he is bright so has done fine for a long time - but struggles with processing speed, attention and, in his case, writing.  I was recommended to contact Hema Desai by a friend, and she has been brilliant. A really w...

It is never pleasant, but there are ways - and people - to make it the least painful ...

Re: Lambeth planning: L-shaped dormer loft conversion on period flat / maisonette

We did a pre-application on this a few years ago, and got a flat 'no'. The reason I was given in speaking with them was that they don't like them because they're not in keeping with the original architecture and the planning is within their control. The reason houses in this area have them is becaus...
