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

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Posted around 12 cards 2 weeks prior to 24th December. Had some responses so know people have received them. Had about 20 cards - mixture of hand delivered and via post. After years of 'nagging' by myself and our daughters, we may have cured hubby of spending £4 plus on individual cards for our immediate family  ( when you have 12 immediate family it costs a bomb) Also as the girls state, they get put in the recycling bad at beginning of January regardless of cost.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      There was a LETS scheme in ED and it ran for a couple of years or so. Trying to remember when it was pre 2000?  A couple of friends joined it, one did baby sitting for exchange for ironing, the other did small painting jobs or simple gardening. There was a set criteria regarding credits,
