Hi, We are moving back to London from Spain in July. We are looking for private schools near Tooting Broadway preferably 4-18 range but could also do just primary. Any recommendations? Where can I find a full list of private schools in the area? What's the ballpark for private school fees and do the...
I guess I have a very different point of view to evryone else in here. First of all, I don't agree with everyone's statement that since your husband is the only earner, he solely gets to chose how his money is spent. A marriage is primarily (and against what fairy tales make us believe) a financial ...
Hi, i had mine done some time ago. All depends on what you are trying to achieve. I knew ours would not add great value beyond the actual cost of the works, but it was much cheaper than moving somewhere bigger. The flat was really transformed and became an easy to rent property after we did it, whic...
Hi battersea bump, she is live- out and I believe she is looking for full time work. Where abouts are you? Can you provide contact details so she can get in touch?
Hello everyone, we are moving abroad at the end of June and sadly have to leave our wonderful nanny behind. By the time we go she would have been with us nearly two years. In that time, she has had full charge of our twin girls since they were 6 months. They will be 27 months when we go. She has bee...
I find that the real issue here is not the admissions process per say, but the amount of places and the amount of good schools. No matter how many times the admissions process is re-hashed it still remains that there are less places in desirable schools than pupils wanting to be admitted. So, in tha...
I haven't tried cleaning them, so faar, I have not had that problem. I do squirt the water out religiously after each bath so no water is left inside (or as little as possible). Then leae them with the hole downwards so any remaining water comes out. So far so good! You can also try putting them on ...
Hi, I can only speak for my own experience. I initially hired a 'qualified' nanny that ticked all the right boxes. Had lots of relevant experience, the right qualifications, etc. Then had a really negative experience with her. So next time around I hired someone that did not have the formal qualific...
Hi, I need a cleaner from July 8 to July 29 for about 4 or 5 hours weekly to clean my house in Tooting preferably on Fridays. If interested, I can be reached on gcatuk@yahoo.co.uk, please be prepared to provide references.
Hi, I have recently had Greenserve come in to fit a new gas pipe for us. They have by far been the best tradespeople we've ever dealt with (and after 4 years of house rennovation we have come across all sorts). They were prompt, clean, friendly and did a great job. What I found most amazing was that...
Anyone out there can offer an opinion on Toots nursery? I have visited it recently and seems ok but wanted to check what others have to say. I have toddler twins and I'm looking for part time care in March next year.
Hi, I come from a country where it is traditional to pierce girls ears as soon as they are born. They recommend that you do it in the first few days after they are born while they sleep and usually they don't even wake up. By the time they are 3 months it's a different story, as they will cry (mostl...
Hi, I have two Jane Strata group 0 car seats for sale. They fit into the Jane Powertwin Pro and I understand they would fit into most Jane pram chasis whether twin or not. They are in very good condition. We hardly ever used them in the car and certainly have never been in an accident. They both hav...
Hi, I’m a first mum of 11 month twin girls. I’ve been back to work since Oct and went through similar dilemma initially. I have contracted in the past and have entertained going back, but decided to stick to perm for now. Yet, we still have the peaks on hours and the odd business trip and all in...
As seen here: http://www.bumpto3.com/new/new_fun_products/comfort_and_harmony_cradling_bouncer Retails for £45. In excellent condition as we have only used it for a couple of months. We got it when the baby was already 3 months and then spent a month abroad so, didn't get much use of it. But it is ...
