There is a thread somewhere on here - or maybe on Nextdoor, sorry I can't remember which! - about this, and apparently it's due to the new Nine Elms/Battersea Power Station Northern line extension. At least I assume you're suffering from the same thing - that post was people living in the Hyde Farm ...
Hi there, I don’t have any experience of the Steiner school, I’m afraid, but just to reassure you that your daughter would be going into Reception, not Year 1 (you start school the September after you turn 4). In addition, if you have a summer-born baby, you can apply to defer their start by a year,...
I'm not a dog owner and know very little about dogs, so I can't comment on whether your argument is justified or not. However, this - "as they pick up their bleeding dog (sorry, couldn't resist!) and walk off, often with no apology" - made me feel quite ill. "Sorry, couldn't resist!" - is that funny...
Please come and join us at Ravenstone School's summer festival, on Saturday 30 June from 12–4 p.m. This is our 4th 'Ravenstock', considered by many to be hands-down the best school summer fair in Balham :) We have loads to offer for all ages from tinies to adults, including: - Live music all afterno...
I'm afraid road-narrowing measures on Boundaries is completely impractical. The section of Boundaries near the school is far too narrow for the amount of traffic that passes down it as it is, and during the day cars are parked nose to tail on both sides, leading to frequent queues of cars all beepin...
My daughter has been DESPERATE to join a gymnastics club for over a year now. After 6 months getting nowhere with Tooting Gymnastics and their ridiculous whoever-replies-to-their-randomly-sent-email-first-gets-a-place system, we joined the waiting list for several other clubs and have finally, final...
Have had 3 quotes, from Shutterly Fabulous, All Blinds and Shutters (Croydon-based) and The Traditional Shutter Company in Streatham. All were similar price-wise, all seemed decent guys, online opinion seems generally good for all - so how do I choose? If anyone has had any particularly good/bad exp...
Yep, we've lived very close to the railway (runs diagonally to our house, five houses away) for over a decade and yes you do hear it of course, but we're so used to it now that it really doesn't matter. When we first came to view the house, as soon as I saw how close it was to the railway I thought ...
We're looking to replace our kitchen (new units, worktops, tiling, floor and decorating) and I'm trying to find someone local, good, not too expensive, not busy for the next 3 months - the holy grail, in other words :) Does anyone have any personal recommendations? It's a fairly small space (3m x 2....
Try Blessy at Bless Bakes - she's a parent at my school and her cakes are fab. She's done some amazing-looking football cupcakes - can't post a photo directly but hopefully you can see them in this link here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/186169911552818/?multi_permalinks=787602084742928¬if_t=g...
I'd be happy to meet if you like - my son will be starting in reception in September too; he's currently in the nursery class and his sister is already at Ravenstone and we love it . Drop me a PM, and we'll go from there!
Good grief, really? Okay, that is more than I thought - was thinking probably about £60k. As to what we'd want to do - well, extend out to the side (to adjoin next door party wall, who have already extended their kitchen), rip out old units and replace, fit new worktop, floor, wall tiles, sink, move...
We are considering this but of course it all depends on cost... We'd be extending sideways by about 6 foot (length of the space is about 20 foot), and would need to put some big windows in the roof but wouldn't need to be glass all along (which I know drives up the cost). We'd have to move some plum...
