hi! Have you tried Rover or Trusted Housesitters? We have tried both for day sits and long-term sits, and found them incredibly useful and reasonable.

Have a tween boy about to hit his teen years and it feels like the right time to change the switch up the room decor to make it more teen-friendly! It is a loft room with loads of corners so feels fiddly. We would like to keep it clean, organised and still with space to move around. Is anyone up f...
Would highly recommend these guys. They have a great range of patterns, quick delivery and fantastic after-sales service as well.
We met the women who were stitching our blinds and the owner is very responsive
From memory, the first term of year 7 at Emanuel is quite tame. It’s getting them settled, going over year 6 topics etc. the hardest part is getting used to the school, rushing around the site to get to your classes on time.

Our son is starting Emanuel 10+ this term. He gave his exams after coaching sessions by Hyde Tutoring. We did both online sessions and in person revision courses. The tutors were great and gave plenty on tips on handling exam time situations. Can't tag them but do get in touch with Charlotte at Hyde...
