Hello, I was wondering if any of you knew of any good fun local adult football teams/leagues or Dad teams? My husband who's always been a keen footballer would love to get involved in something locally (between the Commons) but I was wondering if there was anything for enthusiastic Dads rather than ...

Re: Sitters.co.uk

Have used them before when our normal babysitter couldn't do it - and they've always been very reliable. Only issue we've had with them is that we have a small dog, and they have sent us babysitters on various occasions who were terrified of dogs (virtually had to coax them into the house) and then ...

Re: Bespoke bathroom cabinet maker..

Just re-doing our bathroom now and all the quotes for cabinets/vanity units were so expensive. Have a look at Neptune - google them, they do kitchens and bathroom furniture, and while it wasn't cheap, it was cheaper than bespoke option....

You can do this one with strawberries instead of raspberries - it's always a winner!

Re: Any children starting Eaton Manor nursery in Jan 2013?

My little one doesn't start until April, but my son was there himself (now in the big boys school!)

Re: To those lovely people that stole my window boxes....

Did any of you ever hear back from the police about your stolen boxes/trees.... I still haven't heard anything, although I reported it at the time, so not sure whether to call them, or assume it might not be the same bloke!

Electric oven repair - recommendations?

We have a Zanussi built-in double oven that doesn't seem to reach the correct temperature. I have since invested in 2 decent oven thermometers and neither make the same reading however they do read between 30-50 degrees under what the oven claims it's temperature to be! Is there anyone that any of y...

Re: Anyone seen any fuel today (Tues)?!

Thanks all - I managed to get some at Clapham South (next to Tesco) but the queue was really building up behind me and not all the pumps were in action so I don't think they had a huge supply. Clapham Common was still shut as I drove past.....

Anyone seen any fuel today (Tues)?!

We are driving off for Easter later this week, and needing to fill-up with diesel! We've had fruitless missions over the last few days, and yesterday evening our local(ish) petrol stations at Clapham Common/Clapham South were still empty. Rather than drive around aimlessly burning more fuel to find ...
