Great window cleaner recommendation needed!

Our terrace has a couple of awkward windows and glass which is challenging to access and clean. We have had a great wonderful window cleaner for several years but they are sadly moving out of the area. Please share if you can suggest someone!

Recipe boxes - which ones are best?

Hi, thinking about signing up for one of the recipe box subscriptions to inject some variation into our mundane suppers. Am aware of Hello Fresh but wondering if there are others that people have tried and could recommend. Was thinking about getting something for 3 or 4 nights? Thanks for any input! x

Taking pebble dashing off the front of the house

Has anyone taken pebble dashing off their house? We have it on the front of ours and I hate it and a friend has suggested that we take it off and get the whole thing rendered and painted. Not sure why anyone would have done it in the first place and cover up the lovely Victorian brickwork but they d...

Re: Excluded from school sports day

 I am so sorry that you are having to deal with something so awful. My daughter had some friendship issues a while back and was being left of things, I found that difficult enough and it doesn't compare. I cannot imagine how your child and you must be feeling. I can't help with the lawyer but just w...

Good mid range skin care brand?

Can anyone recommend a good mid priced skin cream. I have very uninteresting skin - not greasy nor dry maybe a bit dehydrated but having spent hundreds over the years on expensive brands and not seen any huge change I am keen to give something more mainstream a chance. Cheers.

Daughter left out of playdates despite us being very hospitable

Wondering if there is anything I can do here? I seem to host a LOT of playdates, pick up and drop a LOT of children for various things and yet I have already bumped into 2 different groups of my daughters friends mid playdate which were to be followed by teas or sleepovers but my daughter wasn't inv...

Re: Good places for half term sunshine??

Thanks so much. I do really like the look of Oman but I think mid thirties will a tad hot for us! Might be better for a Feb break. Thanks for the Greece and Turkey reassurance. Leaning towards one of those options at the moment.

Good places for half term sunshine??

Thinking of trying to get some half term sun. Thinking Greece or Turkey but not sure of which is guaranteed sun? Any other suggestions most welcome too. Have prep school age children but not necessarily looking for the whole kids club thing - just some family time in the sun if anyone has any experi...

14 year old neice being fat shamed by her parents.

Not sure how to help my 14 year old niece who is being fat shamed by her parents. To be fair she has gained some weight and I can see that they mean well but I don't think telling her that she 'shouldn't have this or eat that if she wants to look good in a bikini this summer' is helping. The problem...

Re: husband become critical of my weight

Not sure I will be much help here other than to suggest he needs some harsh words from you.  I am glad that you are not obsessed with your weight, you shouldn't be. Your baby doesn't need you to be short tempered because you are hungry or tired from working out. Take your time, enjoy your baby, I am...
