Re: Suggestions for low-maintenance houseplants?

Take a look at Patch Plants website - useful info on there about which plants thrive in which types of conditions. Good place to start

Re: want to move my family back to Aus

I fear we are not a very helpful group, we're just moaning about our own problems 😉

Re: want to move my family back to Aus

I"m in a similar life position to you - but in my case I dont' particularly want to go back. I visit every other year and fortunately it's usually enough to remind me that the grass is not always greener. Do you have friends there who you can speak to honestly about the idea? you may find they ...

Re: Recommend your local gym/indoor fitness classes

I never actually joined but check out whether Fybre Fitness (just off Northcote rd) might take under 18s. it's small and would be a clean, safe environment

Re: Can Anyone Recommend a Fencing/Trellis Installation Company Please?

I recently had some nice fence toppers added by Belleview Gardens. I only met with them and one other and they were my favourite and did a good job. Not extortionate either (though i've little compare it to)

Re: Need advise from current Thomas's Clapham parents please!

I know it's not quite what the OP asked, but just a comment to say that our child is in their third year at Newton and we've been really impressed. It's not the most formal environment, and feels relatively international, which suits us. Nice range of people and professions (and languages) amongst t...

Re: Recommendation needed: Fertility Clinic in London AND specialist

Another vote for CRGH here. I think we were seen by Dr Abramov, but also remember Dr Saab. This was 2014. We were lucky and in the end were successful on our first round of IUI, so never needed to progress to IVF.  General memory was that appointments were sometimes fairly chaotic and often ran late...

Re: Help! Recommendation for repair of stairs

No recommendations here I'm afraid - but jumping on as I'm also keen to find someone to replace my cellar stairs.
In my case after a bog standard no frills staircase though, nothing that would be on display.

Re: Areas in Battersea

I would choose Wandsworth Rd near Clapham. The road itself is not particularly nice, but it has very nice areas, and Clapham Common, very nearby.  Battersea Reach is kind of out on a limb and not really near anything particularly, besides the lovely river. It depends on what you commuting and/or sch...

Re: Is anyone looking for a cleaner?

Hi Kathrina

I'm not just yet but expect to need someone fortnightly when I go back to work in a month or two. Will save your number :-)

Thanks

Re: Milia Removal

I have had mine done more than once at a clinic in Soho - small beauty salon under Smiths hairdressers on Poland St (I think you need to call the hairdressers as they don't have their own phoneline. It sounds dodgy but isn't! Called Smiths Beauty I believe) They were professional but very cheap (£15...

Re: How do I stop my MIL coming to stay for 3 months?

I suggest forcing your husband to suggest a compromise - either it's one month max, or you offer to find her a local airbnb. I find it very odd that she would assume it acceptable to stay for so long (and my own mother lives in Aus) Manage her expectations early before it goes any further. ie, don't...

Re: Estate Agents - ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BATTERSEA AREA, I AM ON THE CUSP OF CLAPHAM

I've used Hamptons at the Pavement (Clapham Old Town) more than once and recommend (sold two very different properties for us).

Have also heard good things about James Pendleton in Clapham. Marsh & Parsons also quite good I think.

Re: How can I stop my wife using the joint credit card?

I dont' mean to be rude, but this sounds like a bigger problem in your marriage. It's meant to be a partnership?? I've been the wife not working to a husband with a larger salary - and I never spent on the C card without it being ok'd first.  The fact that she 'now says that this is abuse,' suggests...
