Not useful, but we sent our niece (in Melbourne) a Paddington Bear from Hamleys when she was little. He 'visited' us on trips to London with her as she got older and she still has him now (she's 15). Also, they don't have BabyGap/Gap Kids over there so clothes from there have always gone down well with our family (as have M&S things as also not over there).

I had my daughter in Oz last year and things i found useful that my family here sent us were; non 'baby pink' clothes(the girls stuff in oz can be v expensive and a bit girly so loved all the h&m, and even supermarket stuff in polka dots and stripes etc that people sent us from the UK.) , practical things like baby monitor and digital thermometer are double the price in oz, nappy bags are v expensive too. Plus always got my mum to send me Sudocrem as couldn't ever find it there!


Hope that helps.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
