Re: Ikos Resorts

Have you considered Mark Warner?  We had a brilliant holiday in Turkey last Summer.  The teens were having an amazing time, they looked so happy with lots of likeminded kids.  Also posh enough for you to be happy on your own if you're having down time.  I did all the weight lifting and aerial yoga c...

Re: Private home tutoring vs private school fees

I've been wondering the same thing, £10k per term for prep school is a ridiculous amount of money.  We have no state schools anywhere near us (we don't live in NV anymore).  We're about to hit the teenage years and the mega expensive fees but it's too late for us to move them elsewhere unless we mov...

Trendy and fun restaurant in City/Shoreditch

Evening all My husband has left it to me to book a table for quite an important lunch (not work) on a Friday lunchtime.  I'm after something a bit trendy and fun, but super nice too.  Our guests are in their 30's we're in our mid-40's so don't know where to go!  It's meant to be a treat but doesn't ...

Re: Which Managing Agent SW11?!!

Scarlett Dyer.  I know a few people that have used her and they all say she's totally brilliant.  My brother used her when he let his flat in Balham and said she was amazing, totally on top of everything.  Just googled her and she's got 58 five star reviews!  sm@scarlettdyer.co.uk

Good luck x

Re: Disney Orlando

Yes I would say it was well worth it if you want to do Disney 'properly'.  Having been, we thought on reflection that the Grand Floridian probably looked the best but obviously there are lots and we haven't visited many! You might also have to sell the family silver to pay for it that's the only thi...

Personal trainer for woman in her 70's

Dear all I am looking for a super gentle personal trainer - probably a woman - who would be able to look after my mother who is in her 70's.  My mother has not done well in lockdown, and I am trying to gently get her back into exercise.  I am sad to say she is incredibly unfit and needs extremely ge...

Re: in laws constantly duck out of helping with our children

That used to happen to us all the time.  My children are a bit older now (as am I) and I have accepted it. My family don't help either so we really don't have anyone, but we are lucky in other ways so I try and live with that.  It's hard though and probably really upsetting - I always saw it as a re...
