Re: Great window cleaner recommendation needed!

Clive Howe - 07539 280 877. Only just found him myself but he did a good job. I think he's local (SW11) as he's cleaned for my neighbours for years

Re: Clapham prep - Diversity

Have you considered looking at Newton Prep in Battersea? it's relatively multicultural (I stress 'relatively')

(I can't in any way speak for Hornsby or Belleville as I don't know them well, so i'm definitely not suggesting they wouldn't be mixed or good at discussing diversity)

Re: Cost of After School Clubs/ HolidayCamps

Hi  Very loosely I would say most holiday clubs around here will be approx £200 - £250 for a five day week. BUT almost none are proper full days, especially not for 3/4 year olds. you will need to be prepared to maybe add in a little ££ for some childcare a couple of afternoons to cover from 2/3pm -...

Re: Beauty services locally

R&D Wellness, Lavender Hill. It's not glamorous (ie not a pretty 'spa' environment) but if you are after sports massages they really know what they are doing

Re: Reckless driver in Stormont Road / Clapham Northside

A camera has recently been installed at the intersection of Stormont and Northside (i know this because I got a ticket foolishly turning right when I didn't notice they had just made it no right turn)  I don't know how easy it is to access the footage but you may be allowed with a call to the counci...

Re: Help - Our neighbour's cat .........

TBH if you show it any affection it will keep coming around. My cat treats my neighbours' flat as her daytime home because she gets lots of attention there all day long when they work from home.  There are other things to stop her pooing in your garden - coffee grounds in flower beds can help, citru...

Re: Help - Our neighbour's cat .........

umm, i'm a bit worried this may be my cat...... (if so please just knock and my door and tell me!)  I think the only thing you can do is talk to the neighbours about it. They can try to keep her inside for a couple of weeks. the cat repellent things have worked for me in a previous house where other...

Re: Did you mind if you didn't receive a gift for giving birth?

Not really meaning to be rude - but if all of your friends are well enough off to have received jewellery for giving birth I suggest you make some additional new friends to balance out your child's social circle so they can learn a bit of perspective as they grow up. I know that geographically we li...

Re: Prep schools with the most 'academic' reputations

I realise you've mentioned they are too far from you OP, but I would like to post another vote in favour of Newton Prep, in case anyone else picks up this thread. We've been nothing but impressed in our 5 years there so far. Academic but caring, lots of extra curricular and good facilities (v impres...

Re: Psst! Have You Heard About Strictly Come Juniors Tennis Camp.... Pass It On Please!

Sorry that you think that I'm a troll. I am genuinely a frustrated local parent who was looking for tennis camp for my kid. I remembered having seen one advertised on here, and when I came to search for the info, I couldn't access what I needed to find out.  I actually thought that maybe my criticis...
