Who cares about etiquette if that child is vile. Obviously your child has a good judge of character. I find the only time it's a problem is if the mum is really nice and you want to meet up with her, then don't make them play together, just in the same room is good enough IMO by soosy

hmm we have the same problem with a girl hitting my daughter. So far we make up excuses and have caller ID on the phone. I say if you like the Mum just say the children are not getting on and perhaps they need a bit of space. If you dont like the Mum be less subtle ;) and you may get the added bonus of being ignored by the whole family :D by MandaR

bad_housewife needs help with getting the rust off by bicycle's handle bars so that the rust does not return. (Don't want new bike, unless someone wants to give me a Pashley... but the rusty handle bars is not a good look)

I'd advise changing the handlebars, not a difficult job and you're local bike shop should be able to do it a couple of hours. Sure you can get new handlebars for Pashley bikes, if not there's lots of alternatives. by sim

kitchen roll paper and WD40... or for more stubbour rust use one of those WHITE panscrubs (suitable for non-stick pans) rub it a lot until the rust comes off... then treat with something like Holts Rust Killer that hardens the rust and turns it black. by Someone

Wire wool works for me - don't landfill the old handlebars! ;-) by aedjp

I used Brasso Duraglit - its a metal polish and it takes the rust off quite nicely without scratching the surface - just have to do it once a year after winter. by darrenmoore

bad_housewife needs help with knowing if they is a list of pre-approved colours for walls in a conservation area. i.e. can I want to paint my wall another colour but really can't face all the angst of getting a colour approved. Can I just paint it the same colour as another house in t
About 1 year ago
The question is whether the change in colour would materially affect the external appearance of the building. In England, I would say that you would not require permission to paint the walls a different colour, even in a Conservation Area. However, I know that you are in Scotland, where I would need to check the legislation. In most cases I would suggest you contact the Conservation Officer at your local authority. A quick phone call will usually suffice, unless you have a grumpy neighbour who you think may complain and then I would recommend you ask them to put it in writing. The Conservation Officer would of course be able to suggest appropriate colours, but they would not be able to make you paint them that colour. by soosy
