Try with 24/7 Pest Control. I used their services a couple of times on different occasions and was pleased with their work. Keep in mind that since it's summer and full of pests you may not be able to get a surveyor ASAP though. Good luck!

Hello @Michaels gardening thank you for your offer but I already got everything sorted out yesterday. I went up with Fantastic in the end because I didn't receive any response from the other companies I got in touch with. I got a bunch of recommendations via PM in here as well but nothing sounded quite serious. I was happy with the work Fantastics gardeners did as communication was smooth and they were willing to work with my budget to help me get the best I can for my money. Giving them a huge shout out here as I believe they deserved it.

Hello @TheDulwichGardenCo could you please send photos of a recent job, thank you. @zakferdie thanks for your recommendation, will check them out as well and let you know how it goes.

I need general maintenance, lawn looks awful atm, bushes are neglected as I don't have the tools to do them myself (and the skills to be honest). We just moved to a new house and need someone reliable who could do the garden for us. Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Try calling Pleased To Clean You Moving and Cleaning - they have some deals going on at this time of the year, I believe.

I usually go for Man and Van Best Move because of how professional the workers are. I've been using them for a couple of times now and they never disappoint.

Ah... When I feel bad, I just browse the ED for some topics like this one. Make my day instantly :D

Yeah, I have a similar situation - open windows because of the heat which makes it impossible to sleep. Closed windows - too hot, open - too noisy...

Try with man and van Best Move, the guys are really professional and responsible about their work. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Ahh.. this is so hilarious! :D

I agree, it's quite depressing in a way to see how a blog dies in a way. I really wish to simply express my thoughts, maybe give advice to people on subjects that I have experience with, mostly household stuff, cooking, organizing, etc. I see that many people have troubles with cleaning and decluttering, for example. And I wonder why do they post forum threads instead of looking it up on the internet? Could it be because they don't find a solution to their issue? I don't really want to be one of those famous bloggers out there. Rather want to have something I can call my own and put my heart to it and hopefully people will like it. All ideas are quite mushy in my head, to be honest... ------- "A blog needs readers or else you might as well find another creative outlet" I thought writing comes first and readers later on. And maybe if people find some value in what I have to say, they will share the blog with other people and so on.

Hate it when people walk too slowly and just in the middle of the street, taking up all the space and blocking your way!

Try calling "Pleased To Clean You" [020 3404 3233]. They have package offers which I think will suit your needs. I used one of their deals recently and wasn't disappointed with them.

I found myself having a few extra hours on a day-to-day basis and am wondering what to do with them. I was wondering whether I could start blogging, for fun mostly, but why not try to create something out of it. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it worth the effort? If you have other suggestions, please comment below

Something similar happened to my coworker. She asked for the lady to identify herself if she works for an organisation and when she refused my friend asked of her if she doesn't mind to show her ID to her husband who "works at the police station". This sorted out the situation as the scammer quickly left the premise.

Try calling "Best Move Man and Van", I used their services after I saw some positive feedback here in ED and wasn't disappointed. The lads work quite fast and professionally and the rates are not bad either.

We use tenancy cleaning companies for this kind of work. I find that their cleaners do a better job than the ordinary ones because they're just used to clean thoroughly. It's all business, you know. I call them and say what I need to be done, get talking about it and they offer me a cleaner - they get money and I get my house cleaned. It's all about communication. That being said, I can recommend you a good cleaning company if you're interested in checking out what kind of offer will they come up with. I'll PM you.

She did nothing, only complains about it. I would do it myself, but I go there just once a month...

Christ... Is this still happening? I mean, cats go missing? I hear all kinds of rumors all year long

Metal detector? Really? I guess I live under a rock... I think drawing could be quite fun. But like creative drawing - comic book for example (creating both a story with a plot and drawing the pictures), or learning drawing techniques. It helps develop creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. Board games are also quite fun and easy to find - the market is literally flooded with board games. The whole family can play or with friends, doesn't matter really. It's a fun way to connect with people.

I have an aunt who lives there and she's been complaining about this every time we see each other. Why doesn't anyone take any actions already?

Best Move. Can't recommend them enough.

The last time I moved, I tried a company called Pleased To Clean You. I found them through a recommendation here in ED and decided to give it a go. Called and booked a package deal which was a bargain (after tenancy + deep carpet cleaning). Was quite pleased with their work and the quote they gave me, so you might take a look at their website as well http://pleasedtocleanyou.co.uk/ Hope you'll have it all sorted out soon, moving is a nightmare...

Try calling Best Move and get a quote on all this. The guys are really professional, know and do their job quite well. I've been using them for years and was never disappointed by them. Look for their website online. Cheers, Abbie
