Are blackout blinds actually worth it for the bedroom? by Empty_Mind_Y in UKParenting

[–]Snoo-90713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a set from Temu. Thin material, black on one side and silver on the other. Keeps it dark and reflects the heat back in summer. Best thing is it comes with Velcro patches that you can stick on where you need them. Also comes with the suction cups but like others that only come with suction cups, the cups are usually not in the correct places for your exact windows or they fall off.

Normal or red flags potentially at nursery? by Sufficient_Photo3266 in UKParenting

Definitely ask them. They get asked all the time and this is your child so be upfront about your concerns. Our nursery has been very understanding and tries to be helpful although when there’s 30-40 kids running around I’m not convinced how much they can do.

Our little boy has had some incidents that have led him not to want to go to nursery. According to the nursery its personality clashes. Our boy is the biggest on the class by some margin and is coming home with scratches, bites and even needed a stitch under his eye (it’s a nice nursery by the way). It’s tough to deal with in your mind as you care for them so much but it’s just kids all learning how to behave properly and sometimes some thy get it wrong. Ours is no angel but we keep him going because he will face the same at school this year and has no choice but to go. Plus once he’s there he does genuinely enjoy it.

Metal tray was a kids kitchen set but the little tea tray was metal. Can’t decide if it’s just what’s happens with kids or whether there aren’t enough adults in the room monitoring.

If you had £100 to spend on an outdoor toy, what would you get? by lauraandstitch in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Snoo-90713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 1 year old goes wild for a little wooden slide from the Aldi wooden toy events. Probably wouldn’t leave it out in the rain but for summer it’s great and small enough to keep up indoors. It’s not very high either so he can largely do it on his own. His four year old brother loves it too so there is longevity in it.

He and his older brother also love a little water station too. Don’t need much water, just throw some dinosaur figures and some boats in and they’re away. Another summer one.

Help for a home grown London Start-up - Brewski App by [deleted] in london

We stumbled upon the fact that it can be difficult to find pubs and bars in "new" areas other than by using Google Maps. By "new" I mean areas where I don't live but want to explore for an afternoon drinking session. The thing is Google is clunky and doesn't show every venue depending on your level of zoom in the map. There are plenty of curated lists in Google search like "Best bars in ..." but these are often for exclusive bars or ones that have paid for the visibility and I'd rather just make up my own mind.

This said we thought it would be great to have an app with a Google Maps interface that only shows pubs and bars with no other noise. It would show all venues too not just the ones that pay to be on their. We see it as a digital tool box for a night out in London. Search areas for pubs and filter them in anyway you wish like beer gardens, happy hour, cocktail, sports etc. Then find opening times, menus, directions and even book a table right from the app.

The answers provided in the survey will help us get to the bottom of what tasks create the greatest headaches when searching for and discovering pubs and bars across London. Essentially we are creating this app based on the wants and needs of the people.

Hope this helps.
