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.

    • Suggest, speak to: 1. The Modern House - we successfully used them as have friends. 2. Agents in areas that have larger amounts of former industrial building conversions who steer buyers looking for type of property v location.
    • Thank you for the feedback! Helps to see we're not alone. The only good experience we had was Modern House. Anyone tried Strike/Purple Bricks/Yopa? How did it go? Anything to be mindful of?
    • Best experience we had was with Modern House. The rest of the agents around the area are appalling.... They just want their commission and not interested in getting a good deal. You'd be lucky if they pick up the phone...
    • I’d like to echo the positive comments about Trelco. I discovered that the stopcock on the rising main was leaking and was damaging the flooring in the utility room. Not having seen this thread, or any reviews for that matter,  I picked Trelco  as it was the nearest to me. It was a gamble but goodness it paid off. James was responsive and clear in what he offered. His colleague Andy replaced the offending stopcock and put in a lever valve to allow me to shut off the water easily when I go away. He did a great job, neat and tidy, he was cheerful, friendly and professional. All this within a day of contacting them. Although not an emergency it needed resolution quickly. The price charged was very reasonable indeed, especially considering the quality of the service. I am so pleased to have found such an excellent plumber.
