Change of name, informing company registrars
Not sure where to post this but thought somebody reading this thread might have done this already. I recently got married and then changed my name by deed poll on the same day. I'm now going through the tedious process of telling all sorts of organisations about my change in circumstances. I have shares in a number of…

Agreed to be a godparent, Now changed mind!
Hope someone can help us with a dilemma. A while ago we agreed to be Godparents to a friend's New baby. Unfortunately somethings have now come to light regarding the parents of the child (which I can't go into) and we feel we can't morally enter into the role of godparents. The Christening is in a couple of weeks time. How…

britax trekker - rubbish - any comeback
I bought the britax trekker travel system and the pram part is rubbish and unsafe. It tips up if the pavement is humped andit is impossible to collapse if I'm on my own. These things are difficult to find out before you purchase and I just wondered if I have any course of action here and what my rights are. The car seat is…

Help - young, confused and thinking 'What if?'
I'm only 25. I love my boyfriend, who I've been with for over 3 years. He was previously married (they split when she didn't want children) and he's 10 years older than me. I have a good career (professional) that I'm only 2 years into. He has moved to be with me, and works but not in a 'career' job. We've talked about…

how can I say "No" without the guilt?
My DIL is a lovely young woman in many ways but is, by her own admission, spoilt (by this I mean she was indulged by her parents and given an air of grandeur). She and my son have 2 wonderful little boys but she seems to find caring for them herself a chore and will 'offload' them onto any available person whenever…

Sun cream-spot the difference?
Just been to Mr Tesco. Normally I buy boots soltan range but thought I would have a look in Tesco today..much cheaper. They have a 'value' range, then the 'middle of the range', then Tesco 'finest'! They all have a UVA rating of 4 stars on the back-which is apparently what you are supposed to check? Boots own range has a 5…

Beaba Babycook
Hi Does anyone have one of these and are they any good? Most of my friends are raving about them! But are they worth the money? I have a 25% off vertbaudet code to get one so not paying the full price, but would it be another 'gadget'? Thanks for any help. JT x

Tv in child`s room, good idea?
My son would like a tv in this room, my hubbie has told him he can have 1 for his birthday next year when he is 8. I did not know that he had asked hubbie and would have liked to discuss it first. It would not mean him watching anymore tv than he does now, but just that he would be watching it in his room. Good or bad…

How old does a child have to be before they can come home to an empty house do you th
I know that in law there is no minimum age at which children can be left alone, although neglecting a child is a crime. I have two sons aged 10 and 9. Currently on the days I work they are in an Out of School Club after school. They are moving school in September and will be travelling home by a school bus that gets in at…

Persuading toddler to eat healthy stuff...
My two-and-a-half year old won't eat vegetables, fruit or fruit juice. The nearest he gets to it is those Frutapura pots of fruit puree. He's very picky generally, but recently has started eating fish fingers, sainsburys chicken pieces in breadcrumbs, potato waffles and potato croquettes. This is way better than he used to…

Playhouse - Daughter's Gift (4 Years Old) - Help!!
Dear All, I am looking for a playhouse for my daughter. Do you have any good ideas? She is 4 years old and I am thinking of getting all the family to chip in, rather than her getting the usual "too many presents" this year scenerio. I'd rather get a wooden one, to be honest. None of her friend's have one, so not really…

Please vaccinate your children!!!
All my children have been given all their jabs, but there must be something in their genes whic makes it ineffective. My daughter caught rubella 2 years ago after having BOTH MMR jabs. That was bad enough. But today I have been told that my 15 month old baby has got MEASLES!! This is because people are not vaccinating…

Wedding hell - HELP!
I am getting married in July and put a deposit of £1000 on a venue ages ago. Since then, the manager has been off sick long term and has recently returned, telling us that many of the items that we have requested (chairs, music) are at much higher rates than we expected. The items are silly - for example, she is charging…

A polite request...
Could people please stop all the "Teacher Bashing" threads? It's getting quite tiresome hearing the same stuff over and over again. *No-one asks for, or expects end of term presents. If you feel obliged to buy something because someone else has, then surely it's your own insecurities that are the problem, not the…
