And to any other forum member celebrating their Wedding Anniversary's. At a recent staff celebration following Ofsted, I invited husbands and partners to join in our barbecue because I do appreciatte the sometimes unsung support my staff obviously get from their husbands.

Tog Ratings

Hello. My boyfriend and I have just been out and bought our daughter a new, proper bed, as she is rapidly growing out of the cot. She loves jumping in it and I was starting to worry that one day she would actually go through it! On top of the bed, we had to buy new bedding etc, as the cot sheets, although massive, will not stretch to the 3 foot mattress. One of the things I bought was a duvet with low tog rating. I have plenty of light cellular blankets that will cover her, as well as large sheets, but our flat is quite cold of an evening, so I bought a duvet and pillow. I'm a bit nervous about using the pillow but on holiday in June, she used one in a big bed…

I feel as if Im in an unenviable position and certainly have no experience so can anyone help, please? My student son wants accomodation in London for himself and his girlfriend. He is at Greenwich uni and she is based at Harrow so they ideally need to be somewhere within easy reach of both!! (Home sounds quite a good option to me but they do wish to minimise the travelling that that would entail!) SO anyone know how we best go about this? We have seen an organisation called flatland 1979 who seem to think they will be able to help but charge a fee, so anyone used them? Obviously, being students, money is an issue and my son needs internet access! They really want t…

I will never order from Nes again! Back in march, this year, I ordered a new climbing frame and accessories to the value of £1,450. I made sure I ordered before end of March so that I could get the 10% discount they were advertising. Duly ordered, I waited and waited and finally the bits arrived - all separately, over a period 3 months! I had made lots of phone calls, etc and even after telling them that delivery should be between 8am and 1.30pm, the courriers still delivered outside that time and didn't phone to let me know what time (aprox) they would be there, as they had promised. The Pre-school is in a church hall and the courriers left some of the parcels (which w…
