I think that's a really nice house. Horrible furniture, though, why do all "for sale" properties have such naff sofas, etc?
Very odd to have a lift in a private 3 storey house, though...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
On Kirstie/Phil's programmes, many of the buyers openly say to the cameras that they want a house where their friends will go "Wow". Seriously - if I even thought that I'd certainly not let it be public knowledge!!! How dim-witted to even think that was an important buying feature???why do people need a 'wow factor' when washing their hands?
These days, the delusional need a "Wow" in every room or they won't even look round it all.0 -
Highest proportion of elderly people in the country. Probably a main selling point for a 3 storey in that location. Ex-Londoners, retiring.neverdespairgirl wrote: »

Sorry. We do. But she's lovely, and we couldn't do our jobs without her.
She's been with us since Isaac was 3 months old (part-time first, full time later) and he loves her dearly....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Is she a proper nanny (Norland), or is that term just used these days for non-proper versions that are cheaper, but everybody calls them a nanny for the posh-ness?neverdespairgirl wrote: »Sorry. We do. But she's lovely, and we couldn't do our jobs without her.

I'm not sure a nanny requires a qualification to be proper - my definition of a nanny is someone who look after child(ren) in their own home.
Sam never went to any Norland-type place. She has qualifications for paediatric First Aid, and that's it. She started as an au pair at 16, when she left school, then a mother's help, then a nanny. She's now in her mid 40s....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

http://www.norlandagency.co.uk/salary_and_feesThe Norland Diploma consists of 5 elements, a certificate in Creative Skills, Home Economics and Practical skills, practical placement assessments and a probationary year working as a nanny.When Norland Nannies leave Norland College they are all DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service - formerly the Criminal Records Bureau) checked, have completed a Paediatric First Aid course (which we encourage them to renew every 3 years), have all received Skid pan and driver awareness training (if a driver) and obtained a food hygiene certificate.0 -

Edit - Think I might put that on the Look at this house thread in the housing board.....We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

It's odd, the food hygenie certificate. Not as if parents ever have them!
Sam doesn't drive, but she does have the first aid and CRB checks. So it seems a fair deal to me (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
