Re: What are the actual class sizes at Honeywell and Belleville primary schools?

One more clarification re: Belleville: Having the same friends every year - there is a “churn” of about 4-5 kids leaving and new ones joining, so there are other options every year if your child wants to make new friends. Also, all classes get mixed in year 6, although they usually keep your child w...

Re: What are the actual class sizes at Honeywell and Belleville primary schools?

I have 2 children at Belleville where they have been since nursery. We also debated this, but ended up with both in state school and my daughter is now finishing year 6, having gotten offers to the top private schools for secondary (we ended up with our top choice, Emanuel), and so did all her frien...

Re: Holidaying with young kids

When our kids were that young, we absolutely loved Royal SonBou in Menorca. I would say June or September would be ideal as it gets hot in the summer. They have organised activities and you can pay extra for babysitting. They have the best rooms of any resort we have been to size wise as you can eve...

Re: How much will my husband need to earn when we return from overseas.

Hello, I was the one that threw in the £400k figure (I was assuming 2 incomes adding up to that amount). It was not implied that you have to earn that kind of money to live BTC, it was merely in response to the original question about how much is needed to live comfortably, buy a house, send 2 kids ...

Re: How much will my husband need to earn when we return from overseas.

I think the above poster is spot on. I would say an income just above £400k would possibly cover it, but I wouldn’t expect lavish holidays with that income (a ski trip in half term can easily set you back more than £10k). Crazy but true! Of course that depends on where you shop, what kind of clothes...

Re: Would you do a side return build if pregnant? How bad are they?

We did a side return when pregnant. It all went completely wrong with builders from hell. I also didn’t want to give birth in a house that looked like a building site! And yes there is a lot of work, cleaning, dust, which is not ideal when you are already tired and not sleeping well. But… there is n...

Re: Family coaching??? Does this exist?

Hello Fedupmum, What a brave post and trust me - I feel the same way :)  There is a brilliant course I took and re-took. It's called "Positive Parenting", it's 6 weeks of evenings on zoom (8-9:30 pm) I think all parents should take it - it gives you lots of tools to deal with family dynami...

Re: Which resorts more likely to have snow?

I love skiing in Italy for the atmosphere and the food, what lets it down is often creaky infrastructure and depending on the location, lack of English-speaking instructors. One idea is to first check out the ski schools before booking. I would consider Champoluc, Courmayeur or La Thuille. Agree wit...

Re: Botox questions and recommendations

Another vote for Dr Eldimarys Curry at SW11 Medical on Lavender Hill. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and can advise on the best treatment for you. It's also relatively reasonably priced. I am now 49... I had her do my Botox regularly, I had filler in my lips, cheeks and nasolabial fo...
