Re: How many parcels is too many to take in for a neighbour?

Also - dpd for ex tend to send the same delivery driver. So the delivery people may be getting used to you being the default other location

Re: How many parcels is too many to take in for a neighbour?

Am so grateful for my lovely street community and if accepting loads of parcels helps people out then am happy to do it !
I think you're right, as in I didn't want to come across as a Grinch.

Re: How many parcels is too many to take in for a neighbour?

an amicable agreement that they would schedule deliveries this is a good idea but I'm a bit too much of a coward to actually say something. And they're new and I don't want to be a pain! The box was really in the way and my kindness cost me. yeah that is what I'm worried about for Xmas. Thank you b...

How many parcels is too many to take in for a neighbour?

I've a new neighbour and they're really lovely. Honestly. But they have a lot of online deliveries and although they work from home they're very busy and so often can't get the door. I'm obviously happy to take the parcels in but as Xmas approaches they've been getting more frequent and today we hav...

Re: Postnatal Care Retreat idea - Your help please

Hi I believe that there was something launched like this a fews back on the Kings Road in London, not sure if it is still there and if its not why not but it might be worth investigating. So sorry I can't remember anything more about it.

Re: Sister inherited life changing amount of money but angry my parents want to give me more of their inheritance

Always sad to read posts like these. 

You've said that your parents want to leave more not all of their estate to you. Seems fair to me if your 
sister has inherited such a huge sum.

It really is up to your parents.

Each and every time she will verbally attack me for some reason or another; observations about how i look, lifestyle choices, parenting decisions. When she leaves I am always left feeli...

Re: Would you choose Let's Act or Stage Coach?

Mine did both back in the day, chopped and changed depending on what friends wanted to do.  I would say that Let's Act had the edge for me. The groups at Stage Coach were very big and I wasn't sure that my daughter didn't get a bit lost. DOn't think that you can wrong especially of he/she is only 6!

Re: Clinically overweight friend in danger of being excluded

Thanks again everyone for all of your very helpful replies. I am going to try and amalgamate as many of the suggestions as possible.

Clinically overweight friend in danger of being excluded

I'm a long time member of NappyValleyNet and am hoping that this community might be able to advise.

She has had some successes ov...

Re: Sofa re-springing - any recommendations please?

I have heard good things about Lisa Perry in Clapham but it was a bit third hand ( the info not the sofa!). I also tried to do this a long time ago but ended up giving up as it was marginal as to whether or not it was worth it. You may have much better sofas that we ever did but in the end we bought...

Re: Bursary denied - Independent school

I can't help but I do feel for you. I've always thought that the bursaries were a little odd because someone who earns great money for the UK as a whole, say £80k, doesn't have a chance of putting their children through indy school, assuming they have to pay for everything else such as housing, and ...
