I'd say absolutely not, I'm with your husband. It sounds as if you know her, but not the boyfriend? Your overwhelming priority are your kids. Your babysitter is getting paid for her time and you are entrusting your kids to her in the private space of your home. It's not an opportunity to hang out wi...
Yup here too, not an odd post at all. We are so accustomed to them, hubby can now tell whether we need a new tyre or not from the angle the latest one goes in at. Its annoying, expensive and inconsiderate. Would be great if homeowners could expressly ask this of their builders.
I'm not going to counter every criticism on this feed of the school as I'm only one parent but I do have direct experience. Extension is definitely not full of white middle class children from miles away. My kids have a diverse circle of friends and classmates in terms of race and religions so to sa...
I have three in extension at the school (Years 7 and 9) and I would say go for it too! The thing that strikes me most is my kids love going to school and the kids that I've met through them are all grounded and kind. The school is huge but they know what they are doing and the kids don't feel it. Gr...
Hesoneofourown, it doesn't appear as simple as that. The council have been told by the police to install better security barriers etc and the project will cost 2.5mln. They are saying they can't afford it with the current cost of living crisis and that 2.5mln is needed elsewhere at the moment, so th...
No problem. She did an Escape Room in Kingston recently for a friend's birthday which they all loved too. Right by the train station so doable if you're near Clapham Junction. Good luck.
I just took ten of my daughters friends for her 13th to the London Dungeons a couple of weeks ago. Was very entertaining and they all loved it. The scare factor added some fun
I agree with Helen1 to some extent. I live on Kelmscott Road and the section between us and Belleville Rd is empty and quiet. A few chairs on the pavement for Macellaio and that is it, not even in the road to justify the closure. Similarly on the other side, apart from Numero Uno and Pintus, it is s...
My children started at Graveney last September and are very happy. It is a big school but the first two years are separated from the older years across the road in a different building and they have not been overwhelmed at all. The discipline is a non issue, the same as any other secondary. They exp...
I've lived just off Wandsworth Common for 11 yrs but spend more time on Tooting Common nowadays due to kids school and sports clubs. In 11 years I've never seen a rat on Wandsworth (not saying they don't exist), yet I see them every time I go to Tooting Common. I am happy to write to the Council - I...
Hi, I dont think you can really rate a school by its video gaming activity to be honest, it's about how much they are left to get away with at home. My son is Y7 at one of the three you mentioned. The big difference between him and his twin sister is during lockdown my daughter chatted for 3hrs plus...
I can't recommend Kath highly enough - she helped my two with the Wandsworth Test a couple of years ago and not only did she help them achieve the best of their potential (they got the results), she made it fun and interesting and they looked forward to every session. They still talk about her with ...
I think only you can make that decision based on the relationship with your in laws. My own parents are desperate to come down to spend Xmas with my kids having not seen them since August, but understandably really nervous given they live in a really small town and have pretty much self isolated aga...
