FREE Outdoor Wood Playhouse - Walton's 6x6 Dutch Barn

We are moving in the next month and cannot bring our lovely outdoor children's playhouse with us. It is four years old, well-loved and needs a bit of TLC (and probably a new wood treatment) but is still in great shape. Specifically, the glazing sheets for the windows are now missing and we had to cu...

Re: Recommendations on where to get window coverings made

Thank you so much - two great options for me. All I could think of was John Lewis... I knew there would be a better choice. :)

recommendations for a good local removal company

Hello lovely ladies, We have to move in about a month's time. Last time we moved, we had a terrible experience with Pickfords. We paid to have them pack us up, and they ran out of boxes. We literally found all my husbands suits shoved in bin bags :shock: , and they packed a mirror in a box without w...

Recommendations on where to get window coverings made

Hi there, We are moving into a rental property and many of the windows have no window coverings. The landlord has told us we can choose our own window coverings (curtains, not shutters unfortunately) as long as they are a 'reasonable' cost. Having not had curtains made before, I have no idea what a ...

Can anyone recommend a good local guitar teacher?

Mu daughter is learning contemporary guitar, but we need to find a new teacher who will come to our house at a mutually convenient time for lessons - or alternatively, I guess we could go there if they are local. It would need to be someone who is familiar with the RockSchool grading system. She has...

Re: Reception Places 2013

Papinian, I agree with ItchyFeet. You come across so aggressive here! I felt myself get stressed just reading your posts. You raise some valid points, but you lost credibility to me based on the one-sided and extremely aggressive nature of your comments. You even attacked Rutnor for posting an opini...

Re: How much do you pay a nanny?

Well, in my experience, £10/hour net is the going rate for a normal nanny job. I have two kids and that is what I pay. Nanny shares are a bit different. I have generally been under the impression that for a nanny share (ie: when the nanny sort of has two bosses) a nanny tends to make more money and ...

Re: Don't buy a trampoline (according to this article)

Hmmmm..... We have a trampoline in our garden and we have strict rules around it: Never jump without it being zipped up; no pushing or shoving, no flips, etc. The kids know that if the rules are broken they lose the trampoline for a few days. My kids absolutely love it and we love it as it is one of...

couple therapy?

I think my hubby and I could use a little 'relationship tune-up'. Can anyone recommend a good couples therapist? Ideally close to Balham? Thanks in advance everyone.

My lovely cleaner is available

Hi all, I unfortunately have to let go our lovely cleaner of 2 1/2 years, as my nanny needs more hours and she will now become our nanny/housekeeper. I want to recommend her as she has been wonderful cleaner for us, and is a lovely woman to boot. She speaks only Portuguese (although sign language te...

Re: Has anyone used Zoe Penn as their obstetrician?

I had my two children privately at C&W as well. Mark Johnson was my OB and he was AMAZING. I trust him implicitly and would recommend him to anyone. However, he was off the night I delivered my second, and Zoe Penn delivered my son. Although I didn't know her well, (only had her that one night),...
