Thanks!

Which schools, wonderwoman?

Does anyone know of a local dance school that teaches ballroom, latin etc? Thanks!

I'd like to add my recommendation for Andy - he's fixed a number of things for us over the years and today has installed a new cooker and fixed various water and heating problems. He's a great guy, super helpful and fairly priced (unlike other people I have used from the forum). You can reach him on 07983 688 451.

We've just sold through No Flies and we'd highly recommend their services if you are looking to go on the market. The whole process has been stress-free with the help of Brendan and Tony. Great communication, serious buyers viewing the property and under offer in around three weeks with a price we are happy with. We have exchanged and are due to complete in a couple of weeks. A really personal and professional service and competitively priced. They are a great local business to lend your support to.

We've just sold through No Flies and they have been absolutely brilliant. We went under offer after around three weeks with a price we are very happy with. Really professional, great communication and they've made through process really stress-free. If you are looking to sell, give them a call!

I have also reported these pot holes...

A little update from here. The engineer came out and I showed him this thread and he was able to fix and reconnect immediately. It looks like the issue was unrelated to this wider 'outage'. Might we worth insisting on a visitor from an engineer. Having spent close to ?100 on data and a 4GEE mini wifi thingy we are now left with the dilemma of whether to switch to another supplier... Good luck!

Thanks for the extra info. I have an engineer booked for Friday but they seem to have the ability to automatically cancel this so I will call (again) and confirm they are actually going to turn up. I've looked at switching to Sky and BT but both would take weeks to switch. I seem to be totally unable to change the situation. Catriona, I'm feeling your pain...

Interesting to hear your services are now restored, trizza. We are on Underhill Rd and have been without tv and broadband for a week and I've just been told the outage will not be repaired until the 18 October! CatrionaHelen, I wonder if we are impacted by the same outage. Sigh.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll take a look. The parcel isn't anything exciting - name tags for the children - so of no use to anyone else!

I know, that's what I'd hoped but the implication is that if it doesn't arrive it's entirely my problem. I know it's my fault - I ordered it in a bit of a rush...

Hi, Does anyone know what would happen to post that is missing the street name? I've ordered something but in all the chaos the parcel has my house number and postcode but the actual street name wasn't filled in. It was due to arrive at the beginning of the week but still no sign. Is it worth calling Sylvester Road? Any thoughts much appreciated! Thanks

I'd like to add another recommendation for Stephen. He's just fitted carpet in two bedrooms and we are really pleased. As everyone else has said, he's a really nice guy. Great advice and really helpful when it came to making a final decision! Thank you, Stephen.

Hi, As above, I am looking for a carpenter to fit two skirting boards in a bedroom. I have the skirting boards but they need cutting to size and attaching to the wall. Looking for someone to come today or tomorrow. Any recommendations? Thanks Sally

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the shop has reopenen yet? Without a phone today so unable to ring... Thanks

Evening all, Great to hear all the baby news - congratulations ladies! Can't wait to meet all the little ones. We'd love to catch up with everyone soon. Alexia - I've PM'd you my number. Sally, Hannah and Sophie xx

Congratulations Annabelle and great to hear feeding is going well! Looking forward to hearing updates on names. We finally settled on Sophie for our little one. With unbelievable timing, Hannah went down with chicken pox last weekend so Sophie and I have been camped at my mum's for nearly a week (only time will tell if this was a pointless exercise). Hoping to reunite the family this weekend so once I'm sure H is no longer contagious we'd love to catch up with everyone. Good luck to you ladies waiting on the arrival of your little ones - I'll keep checking for your news. Sally x

Hi ladies, just wanted to say congrats on the arrival of all the spring babies - looking forward to hearing more news soon! Our little girl arrived on Wednesday and we too had an amazing experience with the lovely Oakwood midwives in one of the midwife-led birthing rooms. So totally different from the first time that I still can't quite believe it! Mo - we're still undecided on the name front too... Spending some time getting to know the little one this week but would love to meet the following week, Sally, Hannah and 'the baby' xx

Good organisational skills mrs blue squirrel - please count me in! Due 28 March (day before my daughter's third birthday). 2nd March works for me and I'm just off to locate the FB group... Looking forward to the catch up this evening x

Hi Ladies, Ginny, thanks again for reserving an area. Hoping to make it too, just waiting to see what time I can get away. Sally

Hi all, Just wanted to say thanks for organising a great evening, Ginny. Shall we try for a February meet up (before the babies arrive)? As last night worked so well, how about a Wednesday (18 Feb or 25 Feb)? Sally
