Hurrah for some honesty. I am sure a lot of first time mums end up feeling quite isolated because it seems socially unacceptable to admit what a grind the first few months can be some of the time.


I'm the first to admit I have no interest in having children, but I will confess the children of my friends who don't try to force me to love them are quite entertaining once they get to around 3. One friend's kids are quite smart when I go round and instead of trying to distract their mum to get attention they just come and play with me or ask me to read to them and it can be very endearing. For an afternoon anyway.

I love it when the Cleaning Lady brings her adorable 3-year-old round "I'm nearly 4" to fiddle on my Computer so that it ceases to function after he has gone.


It was even more amusing when he picked up the car keys and we all got involved in an impromptu "hide and seek"

..Great Fun was had by all, and lest I forget, the occassion when he went to the box and momemts later the Central Heating Bleedin' key went bleedin' missing and Mummy said it wasn't him (probably a co-incidence to be fair-a Million-to-One "co-incidence" mind).


...and how he pulls the dogs tails when Mummy isn't looking, they LUV IT, as they huddle round me for protection......


Can't wait for his next visit...


But Mummy loves him "You are going to break all the Girls hearts in future!-Did I tellyou that hisshoes cost ?50??"....funny how she doesn't give anywhere near the same attention to the 5-year-old Girl and worryingly, another friend who comes round does exactly the same thing...i.e. plenty of tangible love for the Boy and rarely mentioning the Girl,who often stays with her Mum

Here's something you don't see every day Sonny, a shotgun shell that goes bang , flings a string out the end of your shotgun barrel, and contains a patch & CLP combination that allows you to clean a semi-skanky shotgun barrel quickly and easily.


Convenient.


Very nifty and attention-getting.


Maybe I should try that on both of them.


That should be straight enough and concentrate their minds wonderfully...>:D<

Can't do that.


When The Ladyfriend moved in she was quick to remind me that she had known me for nearly 15 years and I can't just discard her for someone who, though perfectly happy to keep the place clean, has only known me for 5/6 years, so she is first in the pecking order, as far as she is concerned, and trust me, in her eyes, that is the ONLY opinion that matters...::o


So she's here for life M8......

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
