Ear Piercing - where to go?

Can you recommend where to get ears pierced locally (SW11-SW12) or Central London for an adult?

Any thoughts on Claire's or the Tattoo place on Battersea rise specifically - in terms of the experience or for the choice of earrings to wear afterwards?

Thanks

Re: Retractable electric awnings

Hi, We had the exact same problem. Great exposure but the kitchen could turn into a sauna or we could have the sun in our eyes when sitting inside at the dinner table. So we installed an electric awning and haven't looked back. We used Patio Awnings by Conservatory Blinds Ltd. http://www.conservator...

Re: How do you choose a hospital?

I have been very happy with St Thomas for my 3 births and all were very different. (nhs and natural birth each time)
For me the choice was the access from work or from home and then I was really pleased with the facilities so I didn't look further.
Good luck!

Re: 1 year old not crawling etc

Hello I had a similar experience. My oldest only walked at 19 months. When she started to walk, she was then very confident and never fell as if she had practiced in her mind and watched all the others before and got up when she was 300% ready. She was bottom shuffling and it is said that it may del...

Re: Cheeky Fox - A warning to all Parents with Young Ones

I agree with firsttimerSW11. They actually scare me as have no idea what goes through their mind and whether they would attack if they feel vulnerable or hungry. I saw 3 in less than 5 minutes this week on Broomwood road, Webbs road and Northcote road.

Re: Getting a pdf/jpeg invite printed onto paper locally

I'd recommend Second office on Lavender Hill. They have a quick turn around and you can choose the paper depending on what you are looking to print.

And if you need some cards/invitations designed before printing, Roopa who is the owner has great ideas.

Re: Private BCG

Hi, I was in the same situation as you and did it when my toddler was 3 years old. Please bear in mind that before your child has the BCG vaccination, he may be tested to see if he has been exposed to TB before. It's called the Mantoux test. You should ask the place where you'll do the BCG inoculati...

Re: Burglars targeting houses with upmarket cars parked outs

I was told security hoods fitted on doors are good to prevent access through letter boxes. They can be found at places such as b&q, SDS or online.
