We replaced all of the windows in our Edwardian house with double glazing. We used the Sash Window Specialists, who made wooden double glazed windows to exactly match the originals, and we are very pleased with the result. We used to have the draughtiest house ever, but now we are all toasty. The co...
To be honest, I didn't find the content of my NCT antenatal class particularly enlightening - possibly because I had read so many books. The reason I found the class useful was firstly because I was confident that my husband knew what was going on and secondly for the contacts. It is invaluable to h...
We worked with Carol Mae www.carolmaeconsulting.co.uk and our little girl is a great sleeper now. That was 9 months ago and Carol still checks in with us regularly to make sure everything is going ok. It is the best money we ever spent! Two of the other Mums in our NCT group worked with her too, and...
Until I read the father's reply, confirming that the incident actually took place (and with a very different angle on events) I was convinced the original poster was a troll. Separating children on the basis of disabilities, colour, sex etc is just bizarre. We all have to get along together in this ...
We used Carol Mae, she also worked with two other mums from our NCT class and did a great job. It's now nearly 8 mths since she helped us and she still gets in touch regularly to see how weare getting on. Our daughter sleeps so well, it's like magic.
When we were moving house I called the council to ask the same question and was told that as long as they were constantly loading or unloading that I didn't need a suspension, or even to pay at the machine. If you want to be guaranteed a spot outside your house you could consider a suspension - we j...

I am only 36 but the skin around my eyes could belong to a 70 year old. Are there any creams / treatments that actu...

If you've just moved over from Dublin you could get your parish priest from home (or your parents' parish priest if you don't know your own one very well) to write a letter saying your daughter is baptised, he knows your family well, you practice, etc etc. You won't have the time / track record to g...
All good qs above. Do think about how long you want to stay in your new home and if a 2 bed in a more expensive area makes less sense than a three bed in a cheaper area. Stamp duty is very expensive and if you have to move again in 3/4 years you might as well burn the money.
