Umm, just how long is this tunnel - my house seems to degenerate further into anarchy with every year that passes? I can manage a hot cup of tea most of the time now but have exchanged that for a constantly ringing telephone or doorbell that is never for me . And the furtive goings on are now things that I really don't want to investigate further. Will I ever regain a civilised house before my children leave home?

Ah lillyandginger - you may still be in 'goldentime'. There is a golden age of joy and gorgeousness between the ages of about 5 and 11. You're doing marvellously if your 13year old hasn't entered the grunt tunnel yet - most boys seem to enter it about age 13 or so. Hats off to you & long may it last!

Ha!!! So true. I had sister in law helping me with bath time at the weekend, she was horrified! Probably because she's pregnant and has it all to come!!

A TRULY CIVILISED HOUSE



We learn to respect the Privacy of others AND


know yourself first before criticizing others.



If we meet people which are not from our Country we should not make false judgments not even

from our own country. I will tell you why....... :))


No we don't have to say anything now but we will learn as we go and let's not say that we are pretending we can afford this and that becouse the best bits come later with my own big brothers.


Lest keep our Civilised House very simple, nothing is difficult you just have to put into practice.


But what people use to say in the 50's. Is hard to straight an old oak tree. :-S

      Buggy front garden storage unit?

      By Doser500 · Posted

      Moved into new house and hallway isn't big enough for double buggy. Also steps up make it awkward and too heavy with both girls in. Looking to store in a buggy shed similar to nursery if anyone is looking to part with one?

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By Angelina · Posted

      You are best going to Battersea and adopting a dog. You’ll be able to meet different dogs and work with the staff to understand the breeds, temperaments etc.  Training is ongoing. If you get a very well trained puppy and don’t continue and maintain the training you will soon have an untrained puppy.  You have to put the work in.  Are you ready for this? It’s a lifetimes commitment and you don’t get to walk away or change your mind. Maybe register with Borrow My Doggy for six months and get to know local dogs. I’d happily meet you for a dog walk if it will help?

      Council "weed" removal

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault.
