I went with vagina which my daughter. The other day she asked to see my 'giant', it took me a while to figure out what she meant, but yes it seems we have a new nickname for the good old vagina.

We also used Tuppence when I was a kid and also Mary! Not sure what I will call it when my 14 month old starts requiring a name for hers!

This is a really common topic of convo - no reason at all not to ask about it here! Just yesterday I was laughing with my sis as she calls her son's his ding-a-ling!!

My Mum is a Child Protection Social Worker and her advice is to use the 'proper' names because it means that if there is any abuse, the child uses the unambiguous term and there can never be any misunderstanding. Here is an article about it. It's all about safeguarding children.

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      By Angelina · Posted

      I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.

      There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.

      Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
