Re: simultaneous Swimming lessons for 4 y-o and 18month old?

thanks for the response! I've been trying to track down a swim school that runs both age group classes at the same time (or back to back so there's not too much waiting around!) so they can properly learn at their own level.....not easy!

Re: What amazing new things do people do?

I used to work crazy hours in Television and travel a lot which I loved, but was not the most obvious career choice as a new mother! I went to night school whilst on maternity leave as I just wanted/needed to get out of the house and "do something else" and inadvertently retrained as a mil...

Grown-up birthday lunch restaurant recommendations

Hello, It's my mum's birthday in a few weeks, and rather than going out for supper, she's decided she'd like to go out for lunch instead and take our 4 1/2 year old with us (he's generally well behaved!). Anyone got any good recommendations local or north of the river? It would be a saturday! Thanks...

Playball or Sharky and George party?!

Hello, I'm trying to decide what to do for entertainment for my son's 5th birthday party. Previously we've done Playball parties which have been a big hit, but I'm tempted to do something different this year. I've been to a good Sharky and George party, but I've heard slightly mixed reviews, so just...

Bristowclean - carpet cleaning recommendation

Just wanted to add a thumbs-up for Bristow Clean, who I found recommended on here when I was looking for someone to come and clean our carpets. He was very good, reasonably priced, our fitted carpets have come up as new, and he took away and returned a rug of ours that needed specialist dry cleaning...

Re: Eaton House The Manor Nursery

Hi, Can't give you a "comparison" as my son was only ever at Eaton House Nursery - but all I can say is that he had a fantastic time (finished there in June), and we were really delighted with it, and our daughter will hopefully be going there herself once she's a bit bigger. He had masses...

Dreadful mobile reception....anyone else?!

We've recently moved to Clapham (Grandison Rd) and find that I have virtually no phone reception at home, and in certain areas of Northcote Rd/Clapam Common etc.... I'm on Vofdafone, but thinking of switching networks if anyone can tell me that their network works well in these parts!!

Re: Capital Carpets, Northcote Road

used them v recently, and also found the shop a bit of a pain, plus having used John Lewis in the past who give you a proper breakdown of each room in terms of size, cost of underlay, and carpeting in each room, Capitol just gave us one big number and very little by the way of breakdown. So after en...
