Re: Can I approach my ex MIL for son's non payment of school fees

You have a legal agreement, act quickly to protect your children and their school places. 1) get legal advice asap, not sure how enforceable your agreement is in practical terms and within the time until the schools will get fed up 2) immediately tell the school to contact your ex for the fees. Let ...

Re: Bashed my ex and now my son won't have anything to do with him

I don’t see how this is a problem for you to fix . The relationship between your son and his father is for your ex to fix. You might have shared the information of what was happening, you didn’t cause the situation where he didn’t support you and your son. Whilst parents, whether together or not, sh...

Re: The new £3.9m Food waste collections - a massive cost to the taxpayer, this is how to return your bins to the counci

I think they should have focussed on improving the existing recycling first ideally or alongside. Reason being, people don’t sort the recycling and bin everything in the orange bags and wrong items. What people don’t realise is that you are supposed to clean out the tins etc before recycling. ( I do...

Re: Au pair walking around virtually naked

I would definitely give her the benefit of the doubt! She is young, immature and naive. This is most probably the first time away from home and you could kind of take it as a compliment she's feeling at home. She's being naive in the sense that she is placing herself as a child at home as not as an ...

Re: Retired MIL doesn't help and overstays her welcome.

Assuming she’s well and able I would say something like “now you are here it’s great we will get some help with the children”. To make the penny drop that you’d like her support and not just added load. Sometime people underestimate the drain of having to host a person even if family. Or right out a...

Re: Are Miele machines worth the extra??

Yes !! LOVE my Miele appliances, I’ve got everything from Miele. They not only last, but when something does break they can always be efficiently be fixed by Miele engineers. We’ve only had to fix the washing machine and that was almost 10 years after buying it and we had extended warranty. The oven...

Re: Food waste collections for all in Wandsworth

As long as we don’t end up like Lambeth with an ugly collection of different bins.

I wonder how big it is.

Re: New 20mph zone on the A205?

This post is quite depressing. Julien is perfectly entitled to be frustrated at the new speed limit and to express this without petty finger pointing passive aggressive replies and lectures and statistics about speed. ( and I totally agree with him ) Discussing is good of course, but it’s the attitu...

Re: Sins of the parents carrying through?

Quite simply, it would be a no from me . She’s not even a good friend to you which could have made it more awkward. Your child is young enough to be able to step in and control the situation. Given they are heading to secondary soon it’s especially important to stay the hell away. The poor girls is ...

Re: New 20mph zone on the A205?

The common is well served with safe access points all over. The safety of pedestrians is not compromised, totally irrelevant when discussing a main road as in this example. Or do you let your children play along the very edge of the extension ?, For example, take avenue along from Broomwood road to ...

Re: New 20mph zone on the A205?

Julien, Yes it’s annoying and whilst 20mph is reasonable in residential street , it’s actually a nuisance on main roads! 20mph means people brake more as hard to flow in traffic which causes more pollution! Also, more particles are let out at lower speed apparently . The argument of London average s...
