  1. Another recommendation for Emma. I've had my nails done twice and have already booked my third appointment as I'm really pleased with her work.


    Today one of my nails popped off (if I'm completely honest my fault not Emma's - I'm a nanny and look after 5 kids in total so a lot of hand washing and washing up)


    I sent Emma a message at 2:30 to say one he come off.. and by 7:30 the same day she had come and repaired my nail. Now I wouldn't have even been able to book an appointment at the nail shop this soon. What great service. Highly recommended.


    Ps Emma if you are reading I'll try and wear gloves when washing up in future x

  2. I would say to avoid John. He may be cheap but only if he doesn't have other work on. As I've just found out in a very rude manner!


    He originally quoted me ?150. I had some trouble getting neighbours permission to use side gate as they were worried about mess and damage. So had to ask a neighbour who's drive backs onto our garden.


    I got back in touch with John after a couple of weeks. Who then quoted ?300. Even though the job was now easier 6/8 bags had already been moved to the front of the house by my other half. 10 were bagged up in the back garden. So the pile was a lot smaller. We had also proposed that we put the rubble at the back end of the garden to pass through a removed back garden fence directly into his truck (avoiding the need to barrow the rubble 100ft to the front of the house).


    John was awful and rude to me on the phone. Told me he could do it if we were ready right NOW. Which we said would be fine if he wanted to help move the rubble to the back of the garden. But if we moved it as suggested by us (in an attempt to make his job easier) then it would need to be later this afternoon. He then said "the thing is love I have work coming out of my earholes" if you can't do it right now then I don't want to do it! He was pretty much shouting at me on the phone. Very aggressive.


    The thing is had he said I'm snowed under this weekend. Can I do one day next week. We would have been fine. I don't understand his manner if her likes recommendations and work to continue "coming out of his earholes"


    I've used a lot of people off the back of recommendations on this forum. It's disappointing to come across such an awful tradesman.

  3. I think the kindle fire kids edition is a great shout. Currently ?79.99. A lot less than an iPad. And a 2 year no quibble they break Amazon replace it guarantee. Also comes with all he education games package Amazon kids included for first year. We had an innotab. And it wasn't really used as much as I'd had hoped very slow and kids are used to iPads. Mine have the kids edition kindle fires coming from their nan this year.
