We use ours all the time and has made the rubbish collection so much better with being able to take out black bin rubbish later. You save miney on black bags and the decompostable caddy liners are cheap to buy. No issue with foxes as the design prevents them from opening it. Have not seen issues wit...
Some of my best clothes are second hand. Even the quality of high street shops dp not match 20 years ago. I still wear some of my old Top Shop clothes and they are so well made. The quality nowadays is crap. I suggest encouraging that and if he is bagging great second hand pieces why not?
Hi, I haven't tried it or know anyone who has but just wanted to say I have 2 mum friends who used weight watchers nearby and lost a lot of weight and now in the healthy range amd feel a lot better . Both have full tike jobs and young children and were struggling with it all. Do consider that too. T...
I'm really glad this thread hasn't been closed. I really hated the thread a few months ago encouraging local families from the private schools to take places in state schools with no intention to take them to throw the councils into disarray. Important these people do not hijack the issues given how...
My apologies if you meant lack of school places for people who can no longer afford the fees for their child/ child and siblings. Because this may well be the case in the upper years but not sp for thoseooking to enter at year 7. I really hope the journalist focuses on more normal British families w...
https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/mar/01/london-secondary-school-applications-down-by-4000-after-fall-in-birthrate It is a demographic trend that the number of children in the capital is dropping. We have talked about the factors on Nappy Valley before. " I know people whose life has b...
Just simply untrue. In fact, the popular state secondaries in my area: Graveney selective, Chestnut Grove Academy and Bollingbroke Academy have been easier than ever to secure a place due to less children of that age needing a school place. The same even goes for once extremely tight catchment areas...
Dimelda, not everyone has space not to have it in the kitchen. We have a separated laundry and on the first floor and very convenient. Previous home the washer/ dryer was in the kitchen. Would definitely not want to go up and down a lot by having it in the cellar if you have the option, first floor ...
I have heard it is good for gut health and lowers inflammation and kills nasty bacteria like e coli. I don't think it causes weight loss directly but it has got health benefits which could probably aid weight loss. I've had it diluted on an empty stomach for food poisoning and it does restore it. I ...
Last week I got sworn at by a cyclist for crossing the road . :? Apparently I didn't "f***ing watch where I was going" because he wanted to not stop at the junction for pedestrians. Middle aged man in lycra and at top speed, probably on his way to work as was I or possibly Richmond park as...
On a wider point, local primary schools may be seeing falling rolls that is not the case for secondary schools. In London there are often several schools within a short distance though not necessarily of the calibre you might choose for your child. Away from London, especially in semi rural areas t...
Like your title suggests my only thoughts are -poor child and yes the sins of parents do carry through .
In your shoes I'd let them be friends but keep my guard up and have play dates at your home. Its not the child's fault after all, is it?
