I think the Caribbean is probably the nearest properly hot place in February. You may get lucky with the Middle East or Egypt but more of a risk I think.
I don’t really understand the wall/bannister thing either. What I would say is that when I show people round my house the two things that women love the most are our first floor laundry room (I’m with you on ground floor laundry rooms or washing machines in the kitchen being ridiculous) and our down...
There was a brilliant article in the Sunday Times a couple of weeks ago by Decca Aitkenhead talking about how important it is to have friends who have different views from ourselves (she was responding to John McDonnell saying how he could never be friends with a Tory). It's worth stumping up to get...
The others are right - you need to see the schools for yourself and work out which is right for your kids. Different schools suit different children. The one obvious difference is that Thomas’s is co-ed all the way through whereas Broomwood becomes all girls in Year 3 (?) and the boys move to Northc...
Gosh - what a bunch of judgmental comments! “Personal items” means just that - things the girl owns - like a hairbrush or a lipstick. Why do you all jump to the conclusion she’s lost her family heirlooms? It’s quite scary when you or someone else loses your house keys. Who’s to say the thief didn’t ...
I would say any school that judges him on his hair length is not a school he would want to go to. Keep it as it is and at least he’ll stand out from a bunch of identikit kids.
I think it’s not just the coyotes but the way they treat the geese which is also inhumane. Please please don’t buy a Canada Goose coat. As someone else has pointed out I see so many dog-walkers wearing them who don’t seem to realise that the fur comes from a wild dog (or else don’t care).
Not quite sure why Annabel is so sniffy about the Rain Forest Cafe. Admittedly I haven’t been there for a few years but the OP didn’t ask for gourmet food, she asked for somewhere ‘fun’ and I think it fits the bill for small kids. It’s going to cost more than Pizza Express or Wagamama’s but then it’...
Yes please don’t call an ambulance! How very irresponsible for someone at the hospital to suggest that. They’re for emergencies only (obviously if your baby is coming thick and fast then that IS an emergency but hopefully you’ll avoid that). I think black cabs are probably your best bet as you have ...
Also I assume you’re not British? It’s not something we really do here so it will be hard to find a general paediatrician. If you have any problems with your baby you just take him/her to the GP.
