Re: Experience with Sparkies or Alphabet nurseries?

Re: Need a recommendation for a washing machine service

I also recommend Dan. I found him about 5 weeks ago in an ad on nappyvalleynet and called him. He came out to fix my washing machine within a few hours, he gave pragmatic advice and his charge was very reasonable.

Re: Capital Carpets, Northcote Road

We used Admiral Carpets on St Johns Hill early last year and found them to be helpful. They also turned up to lay the carpet on time and did a good job. They seemed to be fairly competitive on price as I rung around some other shops to check prices.
