Re: Rough sleepers hub and hostel opposite Battersea Arts Centre, Lavender Hill

It is quite sad to see that the language used in this thread by most people makes it sound like Wandsworth council is about to unleash a pack of wild animals ready to attack the good citizens of the local community. These are PEOPLE who have pretty much lost everything and finally might get the oppo...

Re: How do I check menopause/ perimenopause

Re: husband not willing to pay for daughter's uni fees despite paying for our son

While I could unpack the many elements of your husband's thinking that are sexist and ethically questionable (patriarchy well and truly alive...), none of those would potentially be helpful to you in terms of convincing him to change his mind.

Re: Man on Bus

dimelda nice piece of victim shaming you are doing there. If we follow your view, women should clearly not be allowed out - just in case some rapist decides to take action.

Re: E-Cigs/ Vaping??

House of Vapes in Clapham Junction can provide proper advice and they also let you try devices and flavours. It's like a 1-2-1 consultation and you walk away with the kit that's right for you. I have now been smoke free for over 6 months - so would highly recommend a visit. Not that expensive eithe...

Re: Luxury holiday for single parent

Other families (with two parents) generally don't care and in fact tend to invite you to join them f...

Re: Wandsworth Test 2018

While I haven't got experience of the revision course advertised here, I can highly recommend Katherine as a tutor - which my daughter attended weekly while in Year 5.

Re: Chestnut Grove feedback

Chestnut Grove had an open evening yesterday - which we went to. It's difficult to form an opinion on the environment because the whole school is moving into their brand new building next year and the current 70's building / monstrosity is going to be demolished (to be replaced by green space and ot...
