Re: Out of control schoolchildren on St Johns Road

I really hope @nappyvalleynet take a look at this thread and remove it. It contains numerous baseless accusations against Bolingbroke Academy and Ms. Edis, which in itself is a valid reason to do so. Furthermore, the evident snobbery around 'our area', and the prejudice against allowing 'the poor or...

Shout-Out for fabulous (online) fitness classes

One of the great things to come out of the Pandemic for me: online fitness classes. Cheaper than a PT...More convenient than having to drag yourself to a gym... And perfect if you're a not-so-confident exerciser (no-one can see if you fluff it up!). Specifically, the wonderful Susie Morgan  aka Feel...

Re: Bolingbroke Academy

Moncher12 - It is not my 'belief' that you don't know what you're talking about or that you are from the US. I can see from your post on this forum in October 2017, where you wrote that you had only recently arrived in Nappy Valley from NY. So what, you have been living in this area for around 4 mon...

Re: Bolingbroke Academy

Ok, I'll bite... Moncher12, you asked which part of your post was malicious gossip (as a non-Bolingbroke parent who moved to Nappy Valley from the US in Autumn 2017, from the looks of it). So to clarify you asserted that the Bolingbroke: 1. 'Schmoozes' parents of academic or ‘right side of the track...

Re: Cookery classes suitable for dads!!

YES try The Battersea Cookhouse, they are amazing and this is exactly the sort of things they specialise in - they have a 'cooking for families' course which I have heard two different lots of friends rave about. I have done their 'dinner party nibbles' course, which was fantastic too: http://thecoo...

Opening up a chimney breast in kitchen - builder recs please

Hi there, I'm looking for a building company to renovate our kitchen. It seems to be the type of job that's too small for some of the bigger building companies who mainly do kitchen extensions/lofts etc. but it does need a proper, fully-insured builder to do it, rather than just a kitchen fitter, as...

Great local carpenter recommendation

I can recommend a fantastic carpenter who we have used a couple of times for wardrobes/cupboards and a built-in bookcase - his name is Billy King (07814 492 755 or kingandparcel@gmail.com) & I found him through Annabel on this site, and his work is of a really high standard. He is also very easy...

Re: Great Electrician !

Another big thumbs up for Philip at BES. An incredibly nice, cheerful guy, very good value, turned up on time, got the job done quickly and efficiently, cleaned up all the mess (actually wanted to start hoovering, but I wouldn't let him!). (Oh, and I too have used Aspect in the past, and they were e...
