    Any one fit a carpet?

    We've got a small nursery/home office that I want to put carpet in. I've put a post out on MyBuilder but have had no bites for quotes, probably because its a pretty small job (2.4x2.7m). I've not been to CarpetRight or Tapi yet but thats my next port of call but foresee the cost to have the...

    Who has had their roof cleaned?

    Ours it getting quite mossy and i'm wondering if it's really worth it as i've had some fairly hefty quotes to get it done - I think largely because they need to use scaffolding to do it. My roof from the outside looks to be in overall good nick and theres no issues that I know about inside in...

    British Airways business class seating sucks on the A380

    Saw a similar thing when flying Business back from Argentina. They had a much older 2-2-2 config which like you experienced meant if you were in a window seat you had to climb over someone to get out into the aisle (if they were lay flat). Our flight on the way out was a different aircraft...

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    I think i may have to go for a zipped link bed as my Simba replacement. May be too much of a squeeze getting a full super king up the stairs.

    Will check that pod out tomorrow.

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    Fair shout, we have a super king which could be quite a squeeze going up the stairs and manoeuvring round the landing/bannister. EDIT - i've just measured it actually and a super king wont easily go up the stairs without some level of squeezing, bending and forcing. I might have to see if they...

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    Yeh thats what I was thinking. It's hard to get hard and fast information though when Google'ing them which is realy annoying. I'd almost be tempted by the Ortho version https://www.mattressonline.co.uk/Product/Millbrook-Wool-Luxury-Ortho-2000-Pocket-Mattress-P1823#size=Superking Or...

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    Managed to get Mattress Online to agree to take our SIMBA back. Going to choose something else in its place but i'm just trying to weave my way through the smoke and mirrors of mattress buying again. Definitely going to opt for a pocket sprung mattress and most likely a double sided mattress...

    All inclusive resorts with kids

    Thats wicked. Looks great, especially that activities are included too. Probably somewhere I'd want to go either without kids or once the kids are 4 if they have good kids club facilities.

    All inclusive resorts with kids

    Wow i've never heard of these Ikos hotels. Aside from the usual food and drink stuff, I presume sports/acitvities and the spa are chargable extras or are they free too?

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    It's not far off that tbh. Just sent some preliminary pics to Mattresses Online who we bought it through.

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    I don't think we can go on for too much longer really, especially as the wife is currently pregnant. Could really do with getting something more supportive asap. I imagine warranty claims through Simba aren't very quick though.

    What watch do you wear?

    Very happy with it. Really glad I stuck to my guns with the white dial and didn't divert, should hopefully be a watch that styles well with anything and doesn't go "out of fashion" as such. This is my first Rolex. It's not going to be something I wear every day to begin with. Is a watch winder...

    What watch do you wear?

    Bit clearer on this one.

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    Yeh. Seems it. I think we would just sell the brand new replacement really and use the cash for that towards a new pocket sprung jobby.

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    Got to say we got a Simba Super King Size when we moved house and we are slightly regretting it now. What was fine when we first bought it has sagged a load now and were on the verge of trying to do a warranty claim on it as the sagging is extremely noticeable and is causing both my wife and I...

    What watch do you wear?

    Had a real stroke of luck today. Had my name down in a couple of Rolex ADs near me since end of last year for a Datejust. Hadn't really thought much about it since other than I knew I wanted to get a Datejust this year at some point to celebrate the birth of our first child who is due in...

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    This is where I'm up to up to now. https://ibb.co/zFgq2rK This will basically fit neatly onto the bit of dead space in the room creating a little wardrobey bit. In the process of painting it today but I have a shelf to go in about 1/4 of the way up and under that we will have 3 pull out...

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    We have a bit of a dudd space in our 4th bedroom/office which were going to turn into a nursery so I've been building a little custom built wardrobe/unit type thing for us to have as storage for when the Bambino arrives. Built out of 18mm hardwood ply, backed it with 3mm ply. Just need to...

    OcUK Dadsnet thread

    I presume that above car seat you have to buy the special fitting adapter so that it can swivel around? Or should it just do that out of the box?
