Re: Do you ask other's how the 11+ process is going or not?

I would never ask, unless we are very close friends. It would be a very uncomfortable situation if the process is not going well.

Re: Dermatologist / Dermatology Recommendations please

I feel for you and your son: acne can impact our kids so much. We have a similar problem. We went to Justine Kluk's clinic in Harley street. It is very (very) expensive but I wanted to see someone specialized in acne. We are only in the first month of treatment so I cannot comment on results.  There...

Re: Just how hard is it to get into a private secondary school in SW London?

My child went through the 11+ nightmare this year, so we have a good view of the 2021 assessment. I am sorry but I totally do not believe that Emanuel added an extra form because too many family accepted their offer. I know first hand 2 kids on the waiting list who got offers in March after the acce...

Re: Is a central WA group a good idea to add 11+ progress of our children?

I can’t think anything worse than a WA group with other 11+ mums. Run away as far as you can!

Re: is there any face cream that actually works?

I would like to advice everyone about being extremely careful with any retinol treatment from The Ordinary. I tried the Retinol 1% and for the first time in my life I had a dramatically bad reaction: it triggered a couple of large acne nodules - never had spots in my life before - which scared perma...

Re: Pediatric Cardiologist reco please

We have BUPA and covered the full cost (which I remember was quite high, to be honest).

Sorry I don't know Alessandro Giardini, but he seems to be highly qualified (quick google search). I would go for him.

Re: Pediatric Cardiologist reco please

Hi,

Dr Piers Daubeney was recommended to us by our gp almost two years ago.
We have been extremely pleased with him and I can highly recommend him.
Extremely professional and very kind and gentle. He explained everything with great details and in a clear way. Excellent doctor.

Re: Has Aspace closed?

Too late! I made an order for some bedding, and a friend of mine told me about this post just after the order was placed! I have tried to call them and email them to cancel my order, but there is no way to get in touch with the company. Allarming! Blame on me I was attracted by the huge discount, bu...
