Re: Wraparound extension - how many metres

You will likely only be allowed to do something similar to what your neighbours have done. I suggest you go to the Wandsworth Planning website, search for you street and check the latest applications. You can download the report and the proposed drawings and see what was approved. At least it will g...

Re: Nursery vs pre-school

I agree with Sw11mumof3, the difference in quality of teaching is huge between a pre school and day nursery, and that's why we opted for the first. I heard someone say last year that they paid £1500 per term for their child to go full time to Honeywell nursery, this doesn't include the breakfast and...

Re: WHICH DRAMA SCHOOL: Lets act vs Perform

I have experience with both, actually. My child used to go to Let's Act and, because it was too focused on the LAMDA exams, they got pretty bored during class and decided to quit. They also had a few different teachers during the school year, which probably didn't help. You get lots of videos and ph...

Re: photographer who can takes pics at home and on Common

Marília is great, has a child herself and took lovely photos of my family at home when I was pregnant with my second and had a very active toddler. She lives in the area too.

Have a look at her Instagram, her contacts are there:

Re: Ants

We had the same problem at our front door and I bought the Home Defence Ant Stop spray from Amazon, sprayed on the threshold and let it dry overnight. No more ants since and it's safer than the baits for young children, which was my case.

Re: Anti ageing creams do they work?

Maybe try Skin+Me. It's a subscription service that delivers a bespoke cream prescribed by a dermatologist to your house once a month. The container only dispenses the amount that you need for the day, which is brilliant. I was a bit skeptical about someone assessing my skin via photos, but it reall...

Re: Private Primary - how to decide (Broomwood/Hornsby/Thomas's)

Just choose the one closest to you home, where you can walk to. It will make mornings easier and playdates will be close too.

Re: Christmas tipping - it won’t be my postman this year

I’ll tip mine. I’m angry about non doms & large corporations not paying their tax. I’m horrified about the ppe Tory contracts, still fuming about the no.10 parties. And then there’s all the sewage dumping! Workers striking for living wages to allow their families to live in dignity I understand...

Yes, it is. It's probably in his contract and employee handbook/policies.

Re: Newton Prep, Belleville (Meteor) and Heathbrook

If you can afford the fees (by which I mean you don't have to sacrifice anything else in your family budget) and if commute is better, than definitely go with NP. Both my husband and I loved the school vibe, were impressed by their facilities and could see during the tour that that kids were genuine...

Re: How do I stop my wife having 'just a couple' of my chips, crisps, chocolates etc.

Since you asked for advice, here is mine. I've never had to worry about my weight my whole life and could spend days eating junk food without seeing much change on the numbers at the scale - the fatter I've been until now was 4kg over weight. On the other hand, my husband was an obese kid that was b...

Re: is high gloss out of fashion for kitchen finishes?

If you like gloss finishes, just go with them! ☺️ I'm an interior designer and firmly believe that we should design our home how we like it and not following the current trends. Having said that, bear in mind that both finishes have qualities and drawbacks, ask your kitchen supplier about them to he...
