Re: haberdashery

You could try the Wimbledon Sewing Machine shop on Balham High Road, near Tooting tube (I think). It's a big craft place with loads of sewing supplies.

292-312 Balham High Road
London SW17 7AA

It's a treasure trove... enjoy!

Hello Forget traps, poison etc. The best way is with ultrasonic mouse repellers. We bought ours from the local shop, but you can get really awesome ones. Just google it.

Re: Any recommendations for a General builder

Hi there

Our builder is great. Derek Ullah, 07973 737620. He redid our whole house, but he also comes round to do smaller jobs now and again when he's got time. Worth asking him to quote anyway.

Tell him Catie and Graham recommended him if you like.
