Re: Loft conversion recommendations?

I don't normally post, but wanted to add a note of caution. We used Absolute Lofts too about 5 years ago. They were absolutely terrible. Singularly the worst company I have ever dealt with. They built the space to the wrong dimensions; they were threatening; they put the stairs in early and we had h...

Re: What do you do?

When I have had my first daughter I gave up work to look after her. I was 34. I had previously been on the Board of an Advertising Agency and worked as a Marketing Director.

Padded bras for 7 year olds at Debenhams

I was shopping in Debenhams Clapham Junction this morning with my 7 and 9 year old daughters and I came across a rack of padded bras in the children's section aged 7-8. Padded, pink, pretty, with a diamante heart embellishment. So tiny. Totally tragic. I was really appalled. I took one to the counte...
