Woof

My eldest son, when 5 came home from school one day desperate to tell me something


Son. Mummy, a boy in my class said the 's' word today

Me. Oh that's not nice, you shouldn't say bad words

Son. Yes, he says, I told him that but the boy said I didn't understand what it meant so I should shut up. What does it mean?

Me. Thinking the worst it could be is 'shit' says, well tell me what he said and I will try to explain.

Son. No, you will tell me off

Me. No I won't, don't worry, in this situation I won't.

Son. Hmmmm ok.....

F*****g he'll

Me. Shock, oh that's not an s word, it's an f word!

And floundered dreadfully for ages.

My nephew, at the age of 4, was cuddling up to my Mum (his Grandma) and looking lovingly into her eyes...

"Granoie" (that's what used to her called her),

"Yes darling?"...

"Granoie... (long pause)... your face looks just like a landslide"...


oh, how the mighty are fallen, my Mum used to be a model...

My mum told me that when in Primary School the Headteacher had to go into hospital for a hip operation. The whole school was tasked with writing 'get well soon' cards, but mine was the only one to include the caption 'Hip Hip Hooray'.


Pretty proud of that one at such an early age.


James, age 4.

whilst in car wiv brother and 4yr old nephew...


"oh come off it you could get a bloody bus through that! what's the matter with you? You a silly woman? Put your glasses on!"


I turned round quite shocked at the rant of the little person to see a very cheeky grin and advise that daddy says it all the time... I can quite believe it although with reference to the bus - my brother is a bus driver!

My niece, aged 4 came back from nursery one day and was chatting about how naughty some of the kids were and how to be good at school...


her mum said "you know how to be good Flossie, don't you"

she said "yes - not say fucky hell to Miss Jackson"


Miss Jackson was her poor teacher

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
