Daniel Tweedie is an excellent ENT surgeon who has provided great care to both my children. He works out of the Evelina at St Thomas' and privately through the Portland and The Cromwell.

Hi I know there have been previous threads on this a few years ago but is anyone experiencing low water pressure? The taps work fine during the day but in the evening very little or no water comes out... Thanks

Hi we have also been offered Goodrich - any views much appreciated. Kirsten

We have outgrown our Phil and Teds double and I am looking to buy a lightweight stroller type thing - can anyone recommend one? I feel I no longer need such a big buggy. My daughter who is nearly 2 loves walking but still needs a buggy and likes to nap in it so will need something which goes relatively flat. Any recommendations gratefully received!

Trunki's - good idea or waste of money?

Thanks all - I think I will get a second hand one to try out -

Thanks Pickle - that's really helpful -
Hi sorry this is such a boring thread - would anyone recommend a trunki? Are they useful for airports with a 3 1/2 year old? Thanks

This is an awful situation for all concerned - the staff, parents and children who attend Oak Tree. However it is unacceptable to blame sweetgirl for what is happening now. A child was in immediate danger as a result of the nursery's actions and posts like that from misshelen do not help anyone. I hope a way forward can be found and my sympathies to all those affected - it must be hugely stressful.

We have brushed concrete and it's a nightmare. Staines really easily. Not as hard wearing as you would think. If we get our kitchen done it will be the first thing to go!

I would be really grateful to hear other parent's views of Rosemead. I recently visited and had quite a few concerns, particularly with regard to the nursery and the lack of space. To be honest I had quite a negative reaction to the school but the children all seem very happy and they obviously get good results. I would be really grateful to hear other parents thoughts. Please pm me if you wish. Thanks,

Moving abroad - where would you go?

Thanks - this has been really helpful and has given us lots to consider. Zeban - rather not say what we do precisely but I work within an unusual medical specialty. Thanks all! -
Moving abroad - where would you go?
KattyKit replied to KattyKit's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi, Thanks so much for your replies! With regard to the US work wise we have already checked it out and because of our professions it appears that it would not be too problematic to get work visas. Austrailia would be easier re: work visa but we both have colleagues who have done a stint in the US so it appears not impposible... K -

Moving abroad - where would you go?
KattyKit replied to KattyKit's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Thanks for your replies. Scandinavia sounds interesting but realistically I think the language barrier would be too great. I guess the stereotypical ex-pat communities which are quite segregated puts me off Hong Kong etc - but this is based purely on stereotypes. It is probably a toss up between the US & Oz. How expensive is Sydney? Our jobs would pay comparable amounts to here and the move isn't really financially motivated in that we aren't necessarily looking for more lifestyle bang for our buck just a different experience. The distance and expense of family and friends visiting are negatives. Hadn't thought about US holiday allowances - good point. Washington DC would work well Jobwise but I have never been so obv find it had to have an opinion. We were also considering Chicago but cold winters puts me off! Thanks. -
My husband and I are considering moving abroad for a couple of years. Both our jobs are fairly portable, our children young and we would like to experience living somewhere else for a while. Jobwise it would probably have to be Austrailia, America or possibly Middle East. We are leaning towards America but can't decide which part. I am also keen on Austrialia but have never been. Can any family roomers offer any advice? Where would you go? K

Odd working hours- childcare advice please
KattyKit replied to tortor's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi, I also do odd hours including nights. We have found that our only viable option is a nanny who starts at 6.30/ 7 and is flexible about finish time. In laws and parents cover the nights the nanny cannot. It's tough financially but somehow we muddle through... K -
Hi, Do you have to have your own pump or can you borrow / hire one? I will finish feeding my daughter in a couple of months and would be interested in donating but I don't have a pump.... Kirsten
