Re: Can Anyone Recommend a Local Shutter Company for Windows Please?

We had ours done a decade ago by the New England Shutter Company. They were very meticulous in both measuring/ designing and fitting, and the shutters still look and work exactly the same as new. Very pleased we chose them

Re: Mother-in-law keeps inviting themselves on holiday

I can’t help but think there is a very easy solution… don’t tell them your holiday plans in advance. After a few “impromptu/ romantic surprise/ last minute deal/ secret adventure/ just needed to get away from it all” trips your in-laws will clue in that you like to holiday alone. But if funds and ti...

Re: Good brand of garden lights

We’ve had the same Collingwood lights for nearly a decade now without any problem. It was a bit of an investment at first but has proven to be a very good value one. We recently added one additional fence post light…. Same model, same finish.. and it blends in seamlessly… the decade old ones look as...

Re: Shutters - cafe style of full

I highly recommend the New England Shutter Company and visiting their showroom near Wandsworth Common station. I bought mine from them almost10 years ago.

Re: Can I force my neice to sell our jointly owned house when she lives in it

It would be lovely to find a solution where your niece gets to stay in her family home. Perhaps some innovative financing programs might allow that? A good idea to speak to a mortgage broker and/or financial advisor. But I caution you against reducing your stake… if you sell her part of your stake s...

Re: Kitchen surface suggestions please.

We started our kitchen refurb at the end of Feb 2020 and unwittingly found ourselves in a race to get “enough” done before a potential lockdown was announced. Plans for Silestone/ granite etc were quickly changed to what can I buy online and cut on site. We went with Duropal 22mm Carrera marble (lam...

Re: Private primaries around Wandsworth Bridge

We moved our two children to Hurlingham in September and honestly couldn’t be happier. We have been so impressed with every aspect- the quality of their teaching, the pastoral care, the communication with parents, the virtual schooling, the breadth of activities, the friendliness of the children and...

Re: IVF With ICSI, which hospital is best ?

My two wonderful children were born in 2013 and 2014 thanks to ARGC. We had 4 cycles in total, of which #2 and #4 were successful. We only used ARGC but of course know lots of people who did use other clinics. The big difference (back then, and possibly still now) was ARGC requires intense patient t...
