If you can afford it i used to have manicure once a week with the same person- and used marvela nail biting stuff in between, it was a bit like weight watchers showing her my nails every week. but after 30 years of biting my nails are/ were very weak. as soon as i stopped going- which was at the same time as having babies- i started biting them again.
Go see a nail expert who will stick false acrylic nails on your stubs and make them look nice but natural. Then go back every two weeks to get the infills done. Then slowly the false ones get taken off and your own have grown underneath and you will be proud. Will take about 3 months. At this point they will be weak but keep going so that they can keep them strong and well manicured for you. While the false nails are on you will need some diversionary tactics - after all you have been biting your nails as a habit for years probably. Try taking up something like knitting. No, seriously. (Someone is starting a class on this site!) I know the above will be expensive, but this is exactly what I did, and apart from a few blips it worked for me beautifully. Note: not all manicure specialists (including the Beauty Place on Forest Hill Road) do false nails. Don't go somewhere cheap. It's a horrid habit and I was terribly upset to be owned by this habit for so many years. So I hope you find something to help you. I hate seeing people with bitten nails and know how important it is to break the habit.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
