The boards are tongue and groove - do you think that will make a difference to the drafts? Would your husband mind sharing his techniques as that is exactly what we will be doing. :-) We do not have a shed load of money and are struggling to figure out how we are going to get everything done that ab...
Hello mums! We've just bought a house and are doing quite a bit of renovations before we move in. The builders have now taken up the carpeting and I think that the under floor or 'subfloor' looks awesome. But... has anyone ever kept these floors? If so... what did you do with them? Thanks in advance.
Hello all! We are deep into the house-hunt and am having so much fun. ( 8-) ) But - I am finding such differences in the pricing of some houses and I simply cannot see the differences. For example: There is a house in north Thornton Heath that looks amazing, has been cared for, has attic dormer, con...
Man - I was soooo frustrated when I wrote that post. :-) It still kind've burns me when I think about it. It was through the ********* site... which I've actually had good success with in the past - just not lately. :-/ But... We found someone! And we adore her. She is the perfect fit for us and the...
I have now had 3-4 no-shows for job interviews. WTH!?! Today she tried to make it MY fault! Apparently she texted me and called an hour before our 3pm interview saying that she thought that she was close to me and could she come early. Well... that's quiet time around here and my phone was off and I...
Balham10 - I'd love some more information on Harpenden. I've been reading up on it and it looks lovely. There's not much available on the market right now but hopefully in a few months when we start looking that'll be different. I think that we might need to take a drive to check it out. How far is ...
Thanks - I've been perusing your site for the last hour now.
And thanks for the commute time, I've been slowly working that out and finding commute time maps online.
Thank you so much everyone. I've started my research into these areas (and the dreaming as well). I'm glad that we have so much time to plan and learn about our next possible location.
But - I'm still going to enjoy every last minute of living here.
Ok - so I know that this is the best place to live in and around London BUT... We are needing to plan where we are going next. The reality is that we just cannot afford to buy here and we'd really like to buy in 9 or so months. We've only lived in the UK/London for 15 months and lucked into this ama...
I might not fit in this group but I would love to have my babes connect with other french speaking babes. My husband and I are Canadian, he's the French speaker in the house. He speaks only French with the children (ages 2 and 3). I'd love for them to see that there are others who speak French and i...
Hello Mamas! Do you need an au pair? Our circumstance has changed and we are hoping to find an awesome host family for our sweet au pair in this area (Wandsworth, Clapham, Balham, Putney... etc). She would love to stay local as she is taking English classes at South Thames College and would like to ...
