Hello,

I am starting to look for a nursery for my first son to start at in the Spring, he will be 15 months old. I don't really know where to start so any recommendations would be wonderful or tips on what to look out for etc.

Thanks so much,

Lucy

Hello,

I am looking for recommendations for a company that will come out and measure a rooflight for a blackout blind and then fit it. It is a strange shape window and in a double height bedroom so we need to be able to open and close it with a pole or remote. Unfortunately it is not a velux window.

Thanks for your help,

Lucy

Hello,

Congrats all. End of October would work for me.

Thanks,

Lucy

Hello all!

I am due with my first end of January and would love to meet up with other mums.

Congrats everyone!

Callum fitted our alarm for us after finding him on the forum. He responded very quickly for the initial survey, carried out the installation very quickly and left the property very clean, neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend. The alarm so far has been great- very easy to use and great to be able to control from a mobile phone.

Oh no, i am sorry to hear this. I hope it was nothing of too much sentimental value.

Hi,

We have now sorted. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hi,

I am looking for a man and a van who could come and clear away some rubbish for us and dispose of it.

The rubbish roughly includes 8 large boxes, full of packaging, 10 unused kitchen shelves and some kickboards. Would like this done asap.

Please PM me if you are able to help.

Thanks,

Lucy

Hello,

I am looking for someone that would be able to retile our bathroom (bath, shower, sink splash back) and replace the sink.

If you have any recommendations, or people to stay away from please let me know.

And if you would be able to carry out this work, please PM me. I am looking to get this work completed by end of July.

Thanks,

Lucy

Hello,

I am looking for a cleaner/s to come this Saturday to clean a 4 bed, 2 bath property after having building work done. The whole property needs a thorough clean. There is only carpet in 2 rooms, the rest is solid floors.

Please send me a PM with recommendations or if you are available.

Thank you,

Lucy

I completely agree with the above. I have used the Manipedi wax club for shellac manicures, pedicures and waxing. Shanie is great, puts you at ease straight away, is friendly and interesting to chat too. Her waxing is quick, thorough and as painless as you could hope for. All treatments I have received have been to a very high standard and great value for money with the ease and comfort of it all being done in your own home.

Hi,

I am a degree educated marketing professional taking some time from work to manage our house refurbishment. I am looking for some work that I can do whilst managing our building work - ad hoc PA work, personal PA work, data input, correspondence, dog walking, food shopping, cupboard clear outs, waiting in for deliveries, cleaning, ironing - a true girl Friday.

I am based just off Lordship Lane and have a car so can travel.

Please do get in touch via DM if you think I might be able to help you out with ad hoc jobs.

Thanks,

Lucy

Hi Seabag,

I tried to cook partridge last night (roasted) and think I rather over did it! Do you have any good recipes you could share?

Thanks!

Lucy

Hello,

I am looking for someone that can fit one roller blind for me. I have had a rather unsuccessful attempt!

Thanks very much,

Lucy

I would whole heartedly second this recommendation.

Billy fitted us some floating shelves and a built in TV unit in the sitting room. He was neat, tidy and clean. The work is excellent and finished to a really high standard, we are really pleased. He gave us a very competitive quote and completed the work very quickly.

I would definitely get Billy back to do more work for us.

Thanks,

Lucy

We have just had Steve paint a bedroom (with a lot of woodwork) and a bathroom ceiling. Steve worked long hours but we hardly knew that he was there. He was neat and tidy at the end of the day minimising the impact to us. His prices are reasonable too. Would recommend Steve.

I would also like to recommend Rick. Even though our jobs weren't an emergency, he came round very quickly and his work is neat, tidy and he cleaned up after himself. You can contact him on 07721060037.

I really enjoyed the Lordship pub, good portion sizes, polite, efficient service and the food was great.

We went for a later Sunday Roast yesterday and we were very impressed. The food was delicious, very generous serving sizes, plenty of gravy and I even got a Yorkshire pudding with my roast pork. The place looks great, the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was yummy (possibly the best pub roast I have had). We will definitely be going back and I am looking forward to trying their non-roast food.

I can second this recommendation. Doug came and built us some built in wardrobes. He was very efficient, punctual, fast to respond, clean, tidy and we are extremely pleased with the end result. An added bonus that he is very reasonably priced!

Hello,

We stayed in a fantastic Air BnB which was much cheaper than hotel and meant we had more space, a little kitchen etc. We were staying right on the escalators so probably not the area you want to be in but it might be worth having a look and seeing what there is. Have a great time!

Hi,

Do we have any more update as to what is happening? And when the demolition will begin?

Thanks,

Lucy

I would third this recommendation. Doug made us some built in wardrobes for us, and the end result is fantastic. He was tidy, efficient, thorough and the work was finished to a high standard. I am really pleased to have found him on this forum. We will certainly be contacting him again for any future work we might want doing.

Of course - here you go:

Good luck,

Lucy

Hi,

We used Douglas Hathaway recently (who has many reviews on here if you search for him) and he was great. Very tidy, efficient and great value for money. We are really pleased with his work and our new wardrobes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will certainly contact him if we have any work to do in the future.

Thanks,

Lucy
