parent and child spaces...damned if you do, damned if you don't...
There have been so many threads about parent and child spaces and how we should consider ourselves lucky for having them etc. Well it appears that NOT using them when you are 7 months pregnant and have a 3 yr old in tow is wrong too...

Kumon maths - does anyone send their children?
Wondered if anyone sends their child/ren to Kumon maths? What do you think of it and how have your children found it? My daughter’s been receiving tuition in maths for about the last 18 months. It’s gone well, but she’s become a bit stale and I think she could benefit from a change. Kumon appeals to me, because it sounds…

Just a little question about a will
There always seems to be people who know about this sort of stuff on here - It's okay, there's no fights or money grabbing going on in this case. :) My gran's will leaves everything to her three children. After the death of one, will his share automatically go to the surviving wife or will it then be split between the two…

Crematorium Plaques
Just a heads up. If you scatter ashes at a crematorium and buy a plaque check how long the plaque will be for. I have just discovered that my Mum's plaque has been taken down. They tried to contact my step father, but he had moved and I assume the letter was not forwarded on. An irrationally upset Patch!

Has anybody read "The Real me is Thin" by Arabella Weir?
It really struck home with me. My home life as a child wasn't as bad as hers...but certain comments by my mum when I was little led to my food mindset being the same as hers. It's a very good read, tear-jerking and thought-provoking. Any woman who's ever thought she's fat should read it. HBS x

Is this fair? (Parents favouring one child)
For my 21st birthday a new car was purchased for me for £5000. By the way that was 22 years ago, if that seems cheap! A few years later, when my sister turned 21 she was offered the same, in the interests of fairness. i.e. £5000 to spend on a new car. Or, as it turned out, as the deposit and legal fees for the purchase of…
