As au pairs are not employees (it's a cultural exchange programme) there are different rules. It's not really going to change at all on 31st October, even under a no-deal Brexit.

Boxing clubs for kids - got any recommendations?
etta166 replied to Jamma's topic in The Family Room Discussion
http://www.mindovermatterboxing.co.uk/ I've done a class at school with Simone (with my children) and they enjoyed it a lot. I'm not sure if she has any chilren's classes at the moment. -
Yes, in theory you need planning permission. But actually it's just that we really like our neighbours and did not want to upset them. They were very against the tree house because it would overlook their garden, so we didn't go ahead.

Travelling abroad - mixed nationalities - help?
etta166 replied to Whisper's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Queue together in the US citizen's queue. I alsways did this when travelling with my partner (I had a green card) and was actually told that it is better to stay together if you are travelling together the one time we split up for immigration. -
I think that local cat sitting, lawn mowing, dog walking etc type jobs are still possible. I'm not sure that there are that many paper rounds, but there is a lot of leafletting.

If you are both registered as her employers, separately, and therefore both make use of the full NI lower earning limit, then legally you both have to pay NMW. You can work around it by one family paying for Mon-Wed and the other for Thus/Fri. The you are in a 60/40 split and paying above the NMW. You should get legal advice on your contracts with the nanny, and have a writte nanny-share agreement between the families too.

Booking holidays in term time OPINIONS - what do you do?
etta166 replied to Marks2111's topic in The Family Room Discussion
It's something you have to discuss with your school, but until the term after your child has turned 5, they don't have to be in school at all. So there's no legal issue with taking a child that is not of statutory school age on holiday in term time. -
Spoon feeding or baby led weaning????
etta166 replied to sam&pat's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I found it easier to do baby led weaning, as you don't have to cook separately for your baby nearly as much as doing purees etc. As srisky said, a mix of both is probably the most practical approach. -
I've been in that situation a number of times and its always been a 50:50 split.

Primary application - in no-man's land, any advice
etta166 replied to Lucy's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Try visiting schools (or at least putting down schools) that took all on-time applicants. There are very good schools in the borough that take all applicants and then you at least get to choose a guaranteed school rather than getting assigned to one you didn't choose. -
They were very common when I was growing up in Canada, but then people stopped building them into houses. They are a fire hazard and allow fires to spread between floors very quickly. They basically act like a chimney.

I can strongly recommend the cycleconfident lessons. They are held in school holidays and at half terms, and the next lessons in Southwark look to be in February half term. https://www.cycleconfident.com/courses/child-group/
