Re: **Help!** ADHD SON LOOKING FOR SCHOOL

Might be slightly further west than you'd like but Bredon has a good reputation and a friend's son with a similar diagnosis is thriving there....it's near Tewkesbury which is not far from Cheltenham.

Re: Anyone else annoyed at the excessive 'settling in' period for reception in primary school penalising the least well

Not a lefty by any means but......what about those on zero hours contracts with no holiday or sick pay allowance?! Am sure there are very few btc, but prob more as you head out.....and I'm sure a proper 'lefty' might provide the stats as to how many there are countrywide - too many is the honest ans...

Re: Advice on wood burning stoves

Haven't done it in London but elsewhere (twice!). You just need an average builder to open up the fire place first...the alternative is to extend the hearth out (there's a minimum building control requirement depth) but in an average London terrace that would take way too much space. You may well st...

Re: A letter to my wife who won't get a job while I work myself to death

Maybe I've read it wrong but it seems to me that the point he's trying to make is that, despite having the same degree and graduating at the same time as he did she has never made an effort to have a 'career' even before they had children....but to be honest at that point the writing should've been ...

Re: Do I legally need to change my name?

Also in the same boat but after 12 years am finally changing everything over. I too enjoyed holding onto both identities (choosing which to go with depending when/where!) but have got to the point where I'm not quite so fussed - so many bigger issues to be concerned with in this world/life. Also it'...

Re: Is Nappy Valley actually child friendly?

'Nappy Valley' isn't referring to the area as being child friendly - at some point (v early ish noughties I think but not going to spend the evening checking back!) research was done re birth rates across varying areas - it was said at the time that the square mile around Northcote Rd had the highes...

Re: Safety on Thurleigh Road

Wow have they genuinely definitely actually got pp to build?! They have been trying on that site for years and years. I seem to remember the last one I saw (approx 4 yrs ago) they were trying for 3 or 4 mainly underground houses with only one floor above ground ...and I think were still refused due ...

Selling flat at auction

I have a teeny tiny bolt hole of a flat - it has a bedroom (big enough for just the bed), en-suite shower room and open plan kitchen/living area. It's in relatively good nick - recently re-wired & plumbed with new shower room & kitchen in the last few years. Anyway I think the time has come ...

Re: Locating our main drain...

In a 'standard' Victorian terrace the drain should go out through your kitchen and into the garden to meet the mains drains - am sure you have already but if you haven't and your garden has a patio double check there isn't access under any of the slabs. Obv depends when it was done but I would think...

Re: Shower enclosure & silicone

Thank you! In a few months I'll have another bathroom to do - would you use them for that as well?
