My kitchen onto garden doors need restoring - new locks, rot replaced, rebalancing etc Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable carpenter or company please? Thank you so much.
Lee came to our house a couple of weekends ago. Highly recommend. He put up a load of flat pack furniture for us and then hung lots of pictures on walls. He's just the sort of person I like - meticulous, professional, thoughtful, respectful of your property. Very efficient I must say. Thoroughly nic...
Well she has several cleaning jobs including a family in Clapham. I believe she charges £10-11 across the board. But it depends how long the job is, for shorter jobs I think she asks for travel also. She's with us all day so we do not pay her bus fare. Thank you
Dear All My cleaner is looking for more work, currently she has the whole of Thursday available (possibly Friday too soon tbc). She has been with us for about a year now and is reliable, trustworthy and very hard working. She cleans our house from top to toe, puts laundry through, and does the ironi...
Dear All My mother's 70th birthday is coming up in a few weeks time, we're all going to Somerset for the weekend, 14 of us. At some point in the weekend we will have some 'entertainments' to celebrate the birthday girl. 2 years ago we celebrated my father's 70th in a similar way - both my sisters wr...

Hi Science parties can be really fun, we went to a great one recently (it was a 9 year old party but my boys are 4 and 7) but I don't think it was Mad Science, it was another of the Science groups around here. Science Boffins? I can try and find out for you if you like? Other ideas: Flip Out party, ...
I've got heaps of baby/toddler gear I would love to donate to the Syrians. My kids are 4 and 7 now and I've been hanging onto it in the hope that I could do this sort of thing! I offered them to the organisation organising help for the refugees on Kos but they were inundated with baby/kid stuff at t...
Hi Nicola I'm looking for someone to help me after school Monday and Tuesday 3.30 - 7.30pm. I live in Balham and have 2 boys - 4 and 7. Monday and Tuesdays one or other of them has swimming and I'm finding the evening schedule very tricky on these days! I am looking for someone to do pick up (school...
You would be a massive credit to any school or group especially, as you say, the girls because you know how good girls are at covering up and putting a package out there that's not a true reflection of their whole selves in order to fit in. It's an act - for survival. Pretending to be like all the o...
What a lovely note Jo. I am touched, and wish that I had been brave enough to stick up my hand and ask for help and support a couple of years ago when we were going through very hard times and all on our own. Good on you! Was lovely to meet you last night, bringing your rep from school was definitel...
Hi Jo I will look out for you tomorrow evening and come and say hello. Well done for getting someone from school to attend too, that's a coo. That was fast work, well done, no flies on you ; - P Perhaps this is the first step for them, but it can only be a positive one. I have watched some you tube ...
