Re: Kensington Wing - room only?

Had a baby there in January. Despite them telling me it was a “quiet period” rooms were not available. You have to turn up at 9:00 everyday to ask for availability. We didn’t manage to get one. The non-private recovery area isn’t too bad. But they are busy and I often has to wait ages for anything. ...

Re: Emailed by Uber to complain my mask didn't cover my nose and mouth

There are a number of Facebook mums groups for our area and they are permanently selling. I’ve bought some great items myself from these sites.

Re: Second hand baby bits? Is it the done thing?

Agree with everyone else. Some items should be new but most can be reused - just give them a good clean.
We reused my husbands cot for our daughter - my in laws has kept in perfect condition!
Try Farah Kids. They have excellent quality items for not much at all!
Good luck and congratulations!

Re: Tramp in local coffee shop

Homelessness is on the increase and I think it’s amazing that the owner of the cafe is doing this. The smell will be obvious to the owner too. Please try and support the business as this is so positive!

Luckily we had started to plan the wedding before he actually proposed... don't ask! ... And we also had a colour theme. He bought me a semi-eternity ring to...
