I am hoping some of you lovely Nappy Valley subscribers may be able to point me in the right direction. My nearly 23 year old nephew is looking for a house share (all male or mixed). He is currently living with us and we love having him here, but he feels it's time for him to spread his wings a bit ...
I think as a Which? member you only get the financial advice if you buy their financial advice bit on top of your standard membership. I tried it as a member and was told to buy the "other" subscription.
As an avid savouries cook married to a keen patisserie cook, we hope to have a day out to go to the Taste of London festival in Regent's Park this June. If any of you have been before, can you tell me whether you think Saturday afternoon or Saturday evening is better? I'd prefer evening, I think, as...
Wow! That sounds expensive, but then again, I am not sure of the size of your house. I live in an end of terrace two-storey house with a kitchen and bathroom extension and I pay £25 for outside only and I think it's £30 inside and out. His name is Keith Blythe and he is based in Mitcham. I don't kno...
Hi Burntoutparent Kathryn is now a mum herself so may not be doing overnighters for the time being. I helped her after the birth of her daughter last August and you may have seen her once or twice on Breakfast TV talking about her journey into motherhood over the past few months. I suggest that you ...
Hi GuyD73. Thanks for this. I know that Clapham/Wandsworth are pretty well served for fresh fish (mongers and markets etc), but Wimbledon Town Centre and Wimbledon Village now have NO fishmongers left, so the post was really intended to raise the alarm in my SW19 area. I know there was another threa...
Just thought I would start the Meerkat call: those dodgy door to door fish men are on the war path again. They tried my road a couple of years ago and managed to sell £100 of frozen fish to one of my clients. He had to dump the lot - whatever he defrosted was badly "off". They knocked at m...
Stuff "n' Cover in Southfields did an amazing job with a beautiful antique armchair which belonged to my grandmother. I was nervous about handing it over, but it was wrecked so basically couldn't be made any worse! The work of art that was returned to me bought tears to my eyes. It was stored i...
As an additional post to this thread, Geraldine Miskin has just bought out her new book. So for all those new to breast feeding who would like a really in-depth reference book, taking into account all manner of issues that each and every mother may experience, it's undoubtedly a great investment!
If your baby appears to suffer with colicky pain, just run through what might be going awry with feed/awake/sleep pattern and the frequency of feeds in a day. Baby often display what looks like colicky pain symptoms but is in fact overtiredness/over stimulation. It is better in the long run to put g...
Geraldine Miskin at www.breastfeedingexperience.com. In my opinion she is the Rolls Royce of breast feeding advisors; non-judgmental, hugely knowledgeable, resourceful and reassuring. If my clients have trouble feeding their little ones and I can't sort it out, I will always call Geraldine in to do ...
I try to encourage all my mums to visit an osteopath both post and ante-natally. I take many of my clients' babies to Clapham Osteopathic Practice in North Clapham. Osteopathy works incredibly gently with the body's own membrane to get it working as it should. Stresses and strains on a baby's little...
Hi New Mum Firstly, I really recommend that you contact Geraldine Miskin who will help resolve any latch issues you are having before you move onto the bottle full time. Latching problems are becoming more common now, often as a result of the reduced amount of help and conflicting advice they get in...
