Re: Mad at cricket

Tough one.  Perhaps try knocking on their door and politely asking them to stop because you can hear the noise in your house and it is disturbing you ?  If you cant face that level of confrontation, try a letter through the letterbox ?

Re: Can I approach my ex MIL for son's non payment of school fees

Re: Discretionary Trust payment for children - used by father

As others have said, you need to see a copy of the Trust Deed.   This will set-out the Trustees, beneficiaries and purpose of the Trust.  The Trustees must act within the purpose of the Trust.  Its entirely possible that your children's father was a Trustee and / or your children's grandfather (ther...

Re: Nursery Fees

Perhaps find another similarly inclined parent in your class and look to hiring a nanny for £60k ?

Re: Husband obsessed with son doing Oxbridge

It’s difficult, but perhaps your husband’s belief in your son is correct and with a bit of effort he can make it to oxbridge and you are writing him off to early ?

Re: Bad experience with Simon Yeo from Ninjakids

Simon - I dont want to comment on the rights and wrong of the what happened in the class (as others have pointed out only you know the facts about what actually happened) I did want to say that I think you have handled the situation in this thread in a good way and defended yourself well in a mature...

Re: Female dogs on heat - please don't walk them on the Common!

Magnoliamum - this strikes me as victim blaming and erring toward misogynism. I’m sure you wouldn’t pursue that line of thought with humans. Is it ok to think like just because they are dogs?

Re: What has happened to Nappyvalleynet

I typically look at the site from my work computer.  I stopped using it so much because there now seems to be much more pink with the new site design + there are often adds for Women's Lingerie on the advertising banners on the home page.  Both not conducive to checking the site on a work computer w...

Re: Would you take a job if you knew you were pregnant with #2?

Surely she should tell her employer BEFORE she has a written contract in her hands? I would think very badly of someone who deliberately withheld potentially deal-breaking info before signing a contract. Honesty and openness must be the best way forward if she's to have a good reputation with her e...

Re: Would you take a job if you knew you were pregnant with #2?

I would encourage you to take the job. Im sure you will make it work somehow - likely with increased childcare support. Your husband will also have to support more - but he cant have it both ways - a wife with a big job and less responsibility at home. Tell your employer, but only after you have a w...

Re: Chimney breast - how much to remove ?

If £20k includes VAT + all clear up + building regs application + rubbish removal (ie all the bricks etc) + skimming + all small things like skirting boards, cornicing etc to make good then I think that's about right. If its a one man band builder who is quoting cash then it seems high We did it and...
