Re: Hen party - afternoon tea ideas

Hi, I had my hen party last year and used the Vintage Patisserie (as mentioned earlier in this thread). Angel who runs it is amazing - it was a superb afternoon. The whole thing is vintage from china to food and drink and they give you all a make over/hair do in 20s-40s style if you want. It was gre...

Re: Play Ball for 3-year-old girl

I would absolutely recommend it. My eldest son has been going to playball camp since he turned 3 and my little boy who's 2 is itching to go too (but is just a tad too young). Helen who runs playball Earlsfield has a great team of coaches behind her and the camps have always been fab. I'm sure your l...

Re: SEPTEMBER VACANCY EARLSFIELD

Hello I just wanted to recommend Yvonne. Our two children have been with her for more than 18 months and have absolutely loved being in her care. She's been a superb influence and has helped them grow and develop into the happy souls they are today. We are sadly moving away from Earlsfield (back up ...

Re: Need a recommendation for a washing machine service

Hi, My washing machine has been intermittently flooding our kitchen for the last two weeks. I called Dan (as mentioned above) out and he came and spent over an hour taking it apart and checking everything. He then watched it run through parts of a cycle and returned the following day (today) to chec...

Re: Help - my 7 month old refuses to take a bottle!

Hi I know just how upsetting/frustrating/tiring it is having a baby who won't feed...my first child flatly refused a bottle and went nuts when he saw it - he got so wound up over the mere sight of bottles that he refused to breast feed everytime he saw the bottle and then ended up in a spiral of not...

Re: How old is too old?

It comes down to choice in the end. I had my first baby at 39 and my second at 41 - I was very fortunate not to need IVF and to have no complications. I have two very demanding boys - both have boundless energy and like my fellow poster I am permanently totally knackered. I am also the main breadwin...

Re: Emergancy nanny needed when I go into labour!

Hi, You have my absolute sympathies re your concerns. I know exactly how stressful it is worrying about having a baby with no one to look after your other child. I was in the same position two and a half years ago. We have no local family members anywhere near London and my second baby was due when ...

Re: Playball (Sports for 2-8yr olds)

As mum to two children who attend Helen's playball classes, I can totally recommend this. My oldest has done playball for 2 years and my little one started this September. They both love it. The small class sizes mean they don't have to wait for turns (unlike some other well known sporty classes we ...

Re: A rant......

What an awful experience. But what's weird is that I was on a bus in South Kensington on my way to work this morning and I saw what looked like a young mum (pushing a pram) shouting horrendous abuse at a lady going past her - obviously I don't know what happened to provoke this and if it was the sam...

Re: Please help

Hi, I've just completed your survey. Just wanted to point out that in your classifications there's no option for "two parents, one in part-time employment and one not in paid employment". We are in a situation at present where I am in part-time employment and my partner is not in paid empl...

Re: more on lofts

We had our loft done 3 years ago and had to replace all internal doors. It was a major pain as we had lovely doors - all natural wood and couldn't find anything remotely similar (and affordable) to replace them with. No, the new doors don't look quite as nice, but they are safe, do meet regulations ...

Re: Exasperated with the Royal Mail/Post Office

Wow, it seems I am not alone then. I think the postmen need to be re-trained. We have complained locally and also by email. Am still waiting for the Royal Mail to respond, there's been considerable buckpassing and no ownership of the issue. However, the postman himself actually came to seek us out t...

Re: Exasperated with the Royal Mail/Post Office

Thank you for taking the time to reply to this ladies. I'm not sure it makes me feel any better knowing others have had similar experiences, however, it has made me feel even more angry that the post office gets away with such ridiculous practices. How on earth can they think it's acceptable to leav...
