  1. its kind of sick isn't it? But i think the govt is going back on some ridiculous deal it made. As long as they have to work till 75 to get it I am ok with it.
  2. I teach English as a foreign language- my students sometimes ask me why are we so obsessed with ethnicity. I did not think we were, its just to check/prove we're not racist. Isn't it?
  3. You could always have one fitted over a bath?A good one that is. I agree all older children generally like showers, but if you have had a hard physical day there is nothing like lying in a bath.If you move and you want your house to appeal to all possible buyers then a bath with a good powered shower over is best. My mistake ( after doing this) was to stand in the bath and say how tall a side shower screen I wanted, not realising teenagers would grow so tall. Plan for people of 6' 3".
  4. Please bear in mind some siblings do not get on with each other. Chalk and cheese. You are blessed if you can have children but mine hardly speak to each other apart from sharing insults.
  5. Angela phillips The trouble with boys. Definitely dont worry.but they are different so forewarned is forearmed. Steve biddulph too.
  6. fess up to any family / freinds you can and give your self a break. They should step up to the mark and offer half a day or similar so you go and take care of yourself. YOu need to do this as a parent and the sooner you start doing it the better, as freinds/ family will expect it. It is hard being sole carer mon- fri and hats off to single parents. You are feeling like this ( I think) as you are tired and trying to do it all. In years gone by your parents would have shared the burden and you must learn to do this now- it does not get better till they are at school . Please do this . Think of it as letting someelse sharing the pleasure of your fortune. xxx
  7. you can try trainline website.
  8. http://www.hernehillvelodrome.com/about/ Enjoy
  9. I would normally say pop down saturday to herne hill velodrome but that may not hit his buttons.
  10. Where does Nicholas Taylor live? I don't mean this in a stalky manner- I just felt it was somewhere rather nice and leafy.
  11. big a4 ring folder- with 26 letter dividers. maybe scan a load of stuff in?
  12. i think the london living wage is ?8.50an hour.imight pay that to a student but ?10 to someone with childcare qualifications-or maybe a bit more. It depends how many hours really. If someoen has to get the bus to you or drive then it has to be worth their while.
  13. I think babysitting is one quite passive thing but you are describing childcare which is a different thing.
  14. I quite liked his going out outfit in Sunderland.
  15. surely you start on baby rice not purees?
  16. if you go into the John lewis at the shopping centre there is a viewing area where you can get a good look- take binoculars.
  17. its good to go to local gardens open garden scheme gardens where they have plant sales.
  18. I think its important to explain its not just men.
  19. Def give to a charity shop.thats recycling.No guilt at all.
  20. if they are open toed and sling backs then def ok.
  21. hhycc is based at the velodrome, sessions are on a sat am. Google for full details.
  22. Fox knows me - best holiday was the one I planned for myself on a Harley its true. Yes the family came too- on the back. Lived in Cornwall and Devon for the first 9 years of my life and its just not the same when you go back as a visitor. Especially with teenagers. Better get looking then............
  23. I come from a family whose holiday was nearly always 2 weeks in Derbyshire to see relatives. We moved house around the country quite a lot ( every 3 years on average). The argument was that we did not need a holiday as we spent our summer holidays exploring our new home area. Consequently when I first left home I hitched round europe and did inter-rail etc which was great. But now although I like the idea of a holiday the idea of planning it etc makes me think I would rather have a long weekend or days out. The expectation of others of being able to find a perfect 1 or 2 week holiday for my family fills me with dread. My children even say they're not bothered about a holiday. I am dreading my next haircut " have you booked your holdiay yet?" conversation. Does anyone else feel like this ? Have a screwed up my kids?
  24. yep Alan Medic- but English man v English woman?
