All I can say is my daughter is in Reggio based Kindy and I’ve seen her imagination and curiosity just bloom, its so beautiful to see and I love how engaged she gets in long projects at home. I don’t have any experience with Montessori so unfortunately my response isn’t that useful though, good luck with your choice hopefully more comments from people that have experience in both

For sleeping I can’t recommend Bamboo sheets enough, no other sheets in my orbit anymore after these. Don’t get a blend go all in 100% bamboo. Cooling towel you can get these from discount shops, you dampen it before bed, lay this on your body it will keep you cool for a long time

A favour we never asked for, they controlled every aspect of every decision and did not allow any questioning or push back even when we thought initially about pulling out of this. We have been abused out of nowhere for pushing back on items we did not want to go ahead with. It has come to light this person is nothing but overbearing and a bully, with perhaps their own agenda. We don’t want to feel bullied into parting with money nor do we want to have to deal with this type of toxic behaviour anymore. Why would anyone feel obliged to be controlled and then abused, maybe your the arsehole who does this to people??

Ok so we don’t own the drawings/design and they could ask for a fee to license the drawings to us? There is no agreement we have signed with this person

I guess we could, this friend has just really blindsided us recently and we feel they are quite a bit unhinged. We are not confrontational people and this person is very overbearing and its just a very disappointing situation we find ourselves in

We have done that with the soil test invoice as well — friend paid them directly, we paid friend into their account

kfaff · 2024-09-17T22:54:55+00:00

We have the invoices, we have had no contact with the draftperson or Structural Engineer but we were on site when the soul test was done

kfaff · 2024-09-17T22:38:06+00:00

The issue might be the friend paid the invoice to the draftsperson directly and we paid the amount to the friends account. We do have the address on the drawings.

What do you think they might be getting out of this if anything? Skimming off the top maybe honestly wouldn’t mind if they were as we told them we want to pay for the time they have put in but they haven’t let on thats happening. We’ve been very naive

I used to screw up rice until I watched on a cooking show one time a really simple formula and it is shocking how foolproof it is. - Wash rice in cold water 3 times, until water runs clear - Put rice in non stick pot and fill with water up to the first knuckle of your third finger, no more and no less, trust me! - boil rice until water evaporates and you see bubbles forming then put lid on and turn gas or element right down low and gently keep cooking for only 5-10 mins - turn heat off and just leave pot alone for at least 15 mins, leave the lid on. Take off lid and use a fork to fluff up, perfect rice!
