It is what we had as a family every week until we left home. Then when we leave home we have it with our new housemates to try and show we can do it .It is our comfort food. When we go home our parents make it to say "welcome home , we love you". It is in our DNA.

Thanks Random bloke. I will print off your email! There is no way I would try for more than you suggest.I think your brother was very ambitious.I actually took Dads dvd player / recorder away as he could not manage that.( back to VHS and how sorry am I that I threw old clean VHS tapes away.) Not even Telegraph puzzles. Email would only be for us to send photos. I have never heard of teamviewer-thanks for that.Although I am not sure how much help I would be at this end if I don't have a similar device? ( see, I am pretty bad aren't I ;)) I think as the family is splitting up and moving abroad we are thinking skype to stay in touch, and when parents say " yes I'm fine" but have actually deteriorated. Or when they say "I have had a letter" and you want to see it too. Im just trying to think ahead...

My Sindys, with all their clothes ( many handmade by relatives and neighbours), in a box, tucked up with a handknitted blanket. In the loft. Never appealed to my sons :( ( is it feasible to wait/ hope for granddaughters???)

Henry that seems very sensible- do you have an i pad? would you recommend a particular size/ type? only wife needed - ? thanks

This is a very tricky age to buy for, if they dont live in a big town and like nature how about something gardening/ wildlife/ walking? the only swiss children I met this age range were into plants and flowers etc, BUt not sure how true that is for the whole of the country. clothes? sox/ pjs?

He is in Cromer, Norfolk- Budgens have just stopped, and apparently they ( other newsagents) just cant get reliable staff to deliver anymore ( but they were charging 15p a day for delivery which was far too cheap). Lucky Londoners aren't we?

Jeremy , my sister in law says she has a kindle fire for reading her Mail on...that did make me think, but as he is 90 I kind of think we should buy something now, set up and monitor for 3 days at Christmas. Which i pad is better?- it's a balance : ease of holding it v size to read it.

I was hoping another forum user had helped their elderly parents with some kind of tablet. ( I think a laptop will be frightening/ cumbersome for him). My Dad is 90 and computers have passed him by, he has the most basic mobile phone. He is 100% alert , drives and reads the Telegraph and does the crossword everyday. BUT his legs and lungs are going and some days he is not able to get out the house. I ordered broadband yesterday and I think people have mentioned tablets? It has to be easy to use- but the things he will do is- read the Telegraph (- if he cant get anyone to drop his paper off), skype/hangouts ( family around the world) and possibly e mail, but this would be us sending him photos), I don't imagine him ever sending an e mail himself. He does not read books, only the newspaper. We might get him to watch tv on it eventually if his legs get worse. I don't have a tablet myself but I need something which has a clear and uncomplicated screen, is easy to use, and not too heavy.Any recommendations please?

I remember a girl phoning in on a radio show recently who made toast in the toaster, then put the cheese on and then put it in the microwave- ingenious ( I don't think she had a grill).

there is one place left on the course. Please pm me if you are interested. Thanks

i categorically would not use parcel2 go- sidekick yodel- 3 days waiting in for a collection and no communication.

turney road closed until 19th November ( I think I was that as it was raining). Unbelievable knock on effect with traffic.

I have no idea what happens in these cities over the Christmas period, but I would rather go to one of them on eurostar than drive the 9 hours to Glasgow :( I quite fancy going for 48-72 hours to Paris or Brussels . Does everything close down 27-30th December or can I still bag a few art galleries etc? Does anyone have any useful advice? Many thanks

Try this: http://www.pcs-hpnw.org.uk/resources/Questions%20for%20redundancy%20consultation%20meetings%20and%20appeals%20v2.pdf I used it and nearly fell of my chair at some of the answers they came up with-then took legal advice. ( I worked all my notice though)

my teenager is away - I found 4 glasses 2 mugs 3 teaspoon 2 plates and a fork in his room. All now washed. I also found a load of dirty smelly clothes in his laundry bin-including all his sports kit - I have left them for him :) ( because he does not need any of my help anymore................)

LOL. Count me in! Do you think we can all have a huge party the night they go????????????????????Then de-clutter their rooms.......look under their beds and find a whole set of crockery/glasses and cutlery.x

I often see dogs in Crystal Palace Park lake early Saturday mornings.

do you think universities will take undergraduate teenagers a few weeks early?( on the grounds they are driving their mum up the wall?)/ what privileges can you take away from an 18 year old?

I think ?10 an hour minimum, depending on their qualifications and experience. also if this is their only jobs they wont pay tax on this.

We re -use all our bags, and use proper bigger bags when we do a supermarket shop. If single use bags are done away with , you can bet that shop prices will not drop and we will have to buy little bags to replace them as bin liners, sports shoes containers, picking up rubbish etc.
