Re: Orthodontics

Wimbledon Orthodontics in Tabor Grove were fantastic. They treated my son (with first a plate and then train tracks followed by Invisalign) on the NHS as he was eligible - however they also take private patients. My daughter was treated at The Dentist in Balham privately as she didn’t fit the NHS cr...

Re: Is a near 30 year age gap too big in a relationship?

No! Is the answer. Unfortunately it is human nature to put people in boxes, and when they don’t quite fit the stereotype, it makes others feel uncomfortable. However as someone who is in a (big) age gap marriage, and whose father was 24 years older than my mother, it is absolutely no one else’s busi...

Re: Saying no to my sister?

It would be an absolute no from me - no hesitation.  If she has 'form' of not looking after your place while you are there, she definitely won't when you are not!  I would be incredibly worried she might have a accident with a cigarette and set the place on fire (particularly after one or two holida...

Re: Do you ask other's how the 11+ process is going or not?

Personally I kept my head well below the parapet during the entire process. The frenzy of playground conversations just hyped it all up, and I found if I started to absorb all that, the stress was then transferred to my child. Some of the scaremongering about it all among other parents was ridiculou...

Re: Clapham South tube congestion in the morning

I used to regularly commute from Clapham South but it has been about 15 years, so it may have got much busier by now! In my experience I was always fine getting on the tube if I caught it by 7.40ish at the latest - any later and the tubes started getting packed and I sometimes would have to wait for...

Re: How much for nephew and nieces presents for Christmas

I spent about £30 on each of mine, and I feel that is more than enough in these difficult financial times.

Re: Awful SIL making me dread extended family Christmas

Please be assured you are absolutely not alone. I am in a very similar position, and am equally dreading Christmas. Everything you say resonates with me too. After every get together with my SIL I am left feeling totally inadequate and useless about my life. She just has an unsaid way of putting me ...

Re: Should we pay son not to work so he can study for A levels?

I would 100% be encouraging him to work. If he feels he can juggle his A Level studies and have a work commitment at the same time, then let him. My 15 year old daughter does waitress work and has learnt so much about ‘the real world’ - and she’s getting paid well so sees the benefits! Personally I ...

Re: Electrolysis hair removal

Hi thanks for your message. I know about laser treatment but that will only work on dark hair, so in this case electrolysis is the only thing which will work.
