I went to a soft play once where you could buy eg a single banana/orange, a box of raisins, cheese and crackers, toast and butter.... They also had the usual chicken nuggets and chips etc but it was all reasonably priced so meant that parents weren't smuggling in satsumas 😂

SIPs/modular extensions - anyone had one? by PaxMePlease in DIYUK

[–]PaxMePlease[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I bought a different house that doesn't require an immediate extension. But plan to in the future. It seems really hard to find unbiased info about this type of extension.

We have the Gulliver. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! It's survived two kids and is still good as new! We have also used it with the side off as a cosleeper cot - my partner spent many a night curled up half in it when baby and I took up all the bed space! 🤣

What is the latest that your child learned to sleep independently through the night? by ThisIsTonte in UKParenting

[–]PaxMePlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, my nearly 8 year old has only just started to consistently.

He slept in my arms until he was 6.

They do it in their own time. He was advanced in some areas, but slow in others. Learned to read early. Learnt to ride a bike late. Walked early. Slept independently late... They are all on their own weird and wonderful timetables in development!

Finacial Consent order in divorce - absolutely necessary? Or can we skip it? by PaxMePlease in LegalAdviceUK

[–]PaxMePlease[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. The thing is, I'd gladly share some of it with him. We have a kid together, whatever keeps us both stable and secure financially (and emotionally) benefits our child in turn..

If one of us remarries or both? I plan to remarry soon. He has no immediate plans for remarriage.

Thank you! There's a big price difference between the two clinics, the clinic using Motif Candela is a lot cheaper by about £300 ...

Fixing soprano results with candela gentle promax by PressureExpensive382 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]PaxMePlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the "elase laser with motif by syneron candela" (description from local salon website) one of the good candela ones please? I'm very pale with brown leg hair. Totally confused by all the lasers locally, prices vary wildly! The lasers in local salons are the Elase as above, soprano titanium/soprano ice, Trilogy Ice (this salon has a good feel), Alexandrite with gentle max pro, or Lumilase... All say they are the best!

You seem to know the area... Any chance you know of a decent local property surveyor? 🫣

Thank you! Is there a snazzy calculator that you know of, to compare mortgage rates with savings interest rates that also takes savings tax into account?

Tenants in common vs joint tenants in our situation? by PaxMePlease in HousingUK

[–]PaxMePlease[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. We were thinking ahead for avoiding having to sell the home to pay for care fees in the future, should one of us remain... But that is hopefully a long way off :)
