This sounds like it could be the same man that followed me down Friern road on his bike, and then hit my car with a metal pole he was carrying (with my kids obviously in the back). I reported to the police, they said they didn?t know him despite someone who lives on the road saying he was local. Please take care around him- it was quite scary.

If you?re looking for a tutor (in or out of lockdown) I wanted to recommend Alexandra Beeley at Knowledge Seekers. She has helped one of my children through the 7 plus exams, and is currently working with my youngest via zoom. I was initially unsure as to how it might work online with a 6 year old, but it has become a highlight of his week and her engaging manner means the time flies by. If you?ve got any questions please feel free to PM.

Mobile Beauty Therapists who work around babies & Toddlers...
Sicilia replied to shanie1984's topic in Request a Tradesperson
I've been meaning to add a recommendation for Shanie for a long time now. The quality of her treatments are amazing (she is meticulous about mani's and pedi's, and recently had a fantastic facial), and as all the above posts have said she is wonderful at working around children and a lovely person. No better example of this when on Friday evening she was around and my youngest had an accident whilst playing with my husband and eldest son- she was a huge help and drove us to A&E without me even having to ask. Could recommend her more. -
Hi Please could anyone recommend someone to come and service gas fires? Many thanks!

Unfortunately he thumped me when I threw my phone over the fence. Silly really should have just handed it over but you don't always think sensibly in the heat of the moment.

I'm sorry to hear and glad you are ok. Police said they would be patrolling the area, I guess they are very unlikely to catch them though. Have learned my lesson about walking along with head stuck in emails.

Just to make people aware two guys on a black moped tried to mug me on my way home from work at 6pm. Asked for time and quickly tried to steal my phone and bag. Received a punch when I threw my phone over a local fence and consider myself very lucky it wasn't worse. Please keep an eye out if walking around this evening as police say they may target others- it's a stolen moped.

Personal Styling & Shopping Services...
Sicilia replied to shanie1984's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Genuinely can't recommend this service enough. Sharon put together a back to work wardrobe for me post maternity leave finishing. She listened to exactly what I wanted, and came up with a fab collection, including some amazing items she found in the sales! She worked well within budget, and I couldn't be happier. And best of all, she is also a lovely person, and so I felt really comfortable in her presence. -
Hi, I've sent you a PM- hopefully will be of help.

Hi Would also recommend PAYE for nannies. Been using them for 3 years and no issues - seem to recall they were a good bit cheaper than nanny tax.

Hi Forum Thinking of joining jags sports club, and especially interested in family swimming. Is the pool warm enough for 3 year old and 3 month old? Thanks in advance!
-
Thank you for all your replies- very much appreciated!

Hi Sorry to start another GP related post, but would be hugely grateful for any views on Elm Lodge- particularly for children. Thanks in advance!

Hi I used the beach room in mid March with the wonderful Lanes midwives. It was fantastic- spacious, huge birthing pool and lots of things to help aid an active birth. We were back home 3 hours after the birth, and just 5 after arriving. It's obviously a very personal decision, but for me one of the great attractions was an environment so close to home (my first was delivered at home), but with the security of having lots of help on hand - we had a bit of a scare towards the end and knowing we were at the hospital was very reassuring. Hope that helps!

Hi there Afraid I can't make the 1st but would love to join you on the next one. Have fun!

Spring babies 2014 (due March, April, May)
Sicilia replied to Family Room Moderator's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi everyone I'm expecting baby number 2 on 14 March when my son will be just over 3 years old. Would love to meet up but unfortunately my other half is traveling for those 3 dates so will hope to see you all at the next one! Frankie29 - I'd also be really interested in a recommendation for Pilates in the city if you don't mind sharing. Strawbs- I've bitten the bullet and booked the nct refresher, from what I can see it's only one session pre and one post birth, and not for partners (which is just as well as I don't think mine would attend again!). Like you've said really to meet other second time mums but looks like there's a good number on this thread already! -
Hi both and congratulations! I have a 2.5 year old boy and am due in March - would love to meet up!
-
My other half was exactly the same! The course I went to was at St Thomas' hospital, and he reluctantly agreed to join me - he was still a bit sceptic by the time he left, but a total convert by the time I'd given birth! :)

Hi there I went to a hypnobirthing course last November for the birth of my baby in Feb. I have to say I found it really useful, particularly to help me keep calm as my baby was born at home (but was intended to be born in hospital!). It really helped me cope with little pain relief (TENS machine and some gas and air at the end). I didn't use everything the course taught, but in particular the breathing and relaxation techniques were great. It did require a fair bit of practice though (used to listen to the CD last thing at night and always fell asleep half way through it so figured it must have done some good!). So my experience was definitely a positive one, but as with everything its probably not for everyone! The course was based around the Marie Mongan book, but was adapted for a UK audience. Unfortunately I've given my book and CD to a friend otherwise you could have tried it out - maybe see if someone else can lend to you?
