Re: Husband wants me to ask friend to pay for parking permit when they leave car

We have had this conversation may times in our house. We have never asked anyone to pay, mostly because like the OP I would feel too uncomfortable. Usually people have offered, especially if staying a few days and when we have refused bought flowers or wine etc...

Brinkleys On Bellevue Road has a lovely space at the back that is semi private. We have been to a couple of school things there and more recently a big birthday for a friend. Works really well.

Re: Brother has asked that we stand down on presents can I still buy them without causing offeence?

Depending on how well you and your brother get on could you buy something and give it to them from Santa? That would mean you having to get his approval. If he knows that you are better off he may not mind.

Solar Panel installation. Cost and process?

There's been a lot of discussion in my house about solar panels and whether we should make the investment. Has anyone done it and happy to share the rough costs? We live in a regular Victorian terrace and have a loft conversion, not sure if the latter would be an important point.

Re: When to stop buying presents for friends children

I would suggest that you stop at 16 or 18, both are 'main' birthdays and mark the move on to a new stage of school or life and it seems a good point to jump off. If it is something that you do along with other friends then maybe agree a milestone together.

Re: Are sustainable parenting groups a thing in SW London?

@Sustainable Parenting - welcome and congrats on your news!

Agree with the suggestions by @this-is-cat but there are also a couple of groups based around the commons - friends of Clapham Common and friends of Wandsworth Common. Would be worth checking them out for things to get involved with.

Recommendation for a garden fencing company

Happy Friday afternoon everyone. Wondering if anyone can recommend a company that could come and install a new garden fence around the perimeter of our back garden. Looking for something modern but importantly to try and preserve as much of the border shrubbery as possible. Have tried a few recommen...

Re: 8 year old boy - lying behaviour

I think that petty (sorry couldn't think of another word) stealing isn't uncommon for young children. Especially of things like sweets, loose change, siblings toys etc.  I have a number friends who have had to deal with this sort of thing over the years. To be honest it seems to come and go, maybe j...
