Re: Kids birthday party venue - Need help please!

Little gym is great for parties at that age, or Gymfinity by southside. You could always hire a church hall or school hall and bring in a separate entertainer - playball do great parties for kids that age, for example and sharky and George are always great. There’s always Gambado too.

Re: Pediactrict neurology

At the Portland, sushi beri is good or Maria kinali has also been recommended to me. Probably best to call the hospital for a list of prices as the cost will vary on the age of the child and details of the case- little children might need sedation for example, which requires a room after the MRI to ...

Re: Daughter's best friend and family quite religious and she is asking why we don't pray

I think you need to relax a little- this is no different to, for example, being Christian and your daughter making friends with a Jewish or Muslim girl. Differences in world views and ways of living is just a part and parcel of life, especially in a city like london. Your daughter must learn that no...

Re: Does being privately educated mean discrimination at job interviews?

It’s probably the leading reason behind the increased applications to American universities….why spend all your money, time and effort on excellent schools only to then be told you can’t get a place at oxbridge because you spent too much money, time and effort. Ivy League institutions have no such h...

Re: South London volunteer Covid vaccinators needed

How ironic- “If you are considering being part of the vaccination administration program I would do my research first and ask yourself if you sit comfortably with potentially administering a vaccine which can result in injury or even death” Perhaps you should ask yourself if you ‘sit comfortably’ wi...

Re: Party idea for 9 year olds

There’s a lot to choose from. You could do a go ape party at battersea park, a water obstacle pool party at tooting leisure centre, there is a sensory escape room in Vauxhall which is quite fun for their age. My daughter recently went to a recording party where a group of friends recorded a song tog...

Re: 11+ tutor

Which entry year are you looking for? Assuming it’s not for 2023 entry? If it is then you need to go through an agency as most word of mouth tutors will have been snapped up a while ago. Now is a bad time to start looking for a tutor- if you wait until exam season is over in mid January then lots wi...

Re: Boy, 5, in critical condition after crash in Wandsworth

When my little ones are zooming around on their scooters it does cross my mind how easily it could go wrong. I really hope the little one pulls through and, if the driver wasn’t at fault, I hope they are also ok.

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

6C03B685-0A97-4EFC-856E-D07725B7A1A2.png This debate reminds me of the cartoon i hyperlinked above- equal doesn’t always mean fair. I have 4 children and I would like to split their inheritance so as to leave them all in a good place- and that may mean not splitting it equally but yes fairly. Of co...

Re: Colette closing on Northcote Road

Not necessarily true- places like Bailey & Sage also charge insane prices but they seem to be doing well….
It’s a shame, it was a really good addition to the street, my thinking is the location was wrong - being 2/3 blocks further down makes all the difference.

Re: Where to get a suit for a 16- year -old?

Thailand.
Honestly it sounds ludicrous but the tailors in Bangkok are so amazing and a 10th (probably less!) than tailor made suits here. It used to be my secret when I worked in the city. If you ever happen to go anywhere near it on holiday- reroute and stock up on suits and other formalwear!

Re: Activities for a bunch of 13 year old girls

Bowling and burgers? The new bowling place next to southside is quite cool and they do group offers- I think it’s called strike. Or a pool party in tooting leisure center, they’re always fun. Or there is a new mini golf place in Battersea that’s all ‘insta’ friendly and looks appealing to the tween ...

Re: 21 year old asked out by a 52 year old. Surely not on?

Agree it’s out of order and weird but not sure I understand the comments suggesting the OP intervenes directly - surely at 21 you are old enough to handle these sorts of situations without your parents jumping in?

Re: 5-11 CHILDREN'S COVID VACCINES - would you put your child anywhere near them ?

Of course I am vaccinating my children. Same as I did when they were babies and I gave them their MMR jabs, and polio jabs and chickenpox jabs. Just as they get their annual flu jabs. It’s no different. My no.2 who has epilepsy received her first one about 6 weeks ago, all fine. My other 2 are sched...
