  1. We thought that getting a dog would make us walk more, in fact we walk less now than we did before we got her! She really doesn’t like walks and will dig her heels in just after we get outside the gate. So we don’t take her out, and those odd walks we used to do before she arrived don’t happen any more as it seems odd to just go out for a walk and leave a dog at home! I have one of those dog rucksacks that I wear on my front that she’ll sit in whilst we walk, but that’s a nuisance and seems a bit ridiculous. In her previous ownership she was a breeding dog and lived outside in a barn with no comforts or toys, and presumably no walks either.
  2. Oh my goodness! Let’s hope not or it’s going to be a hard fortnight! Are there any antihistamines he can take whilst you assess the likelihood? My daughter’s Lhasa is apparently hypoallergenic, and there must be other breeds out there, so it’s possible you might find one for keeps.
  3. Ridiculously hot in her kitchen in summer though. She has no other oven except a small microwave in the utility room, so it’s on all year round.
  4. My sister ‘irons’ on her Aga. Folds things up and leaves them on the covers and it seems to work fabulously for t shirts etc.
  5. My masks are practically the only thing I iron these days, and that’s to make sure they’re properly sterile. It helps that my mini travel iron and pad are permanently set up in the sewing room. If I had to scrabble with getting an ironing board and ‘the big iron’ out, it would be more of a fight.
  6. I can bring cake. This week I’m planning to make carrot cake with rhubarb and a tray of flapjack. I can also be persuaded to make a coffee and walnut cake and my super moist chocolate cake. Depends how many mouths we are feeding, Sunnyday.
  7. Birth to 5?
  8. I’m sure it will!
  9. Yes it really is great. A girl came off the A19 in her car down an embankment and the car really wasn’t visible from the road at all. The W3W app really saved her life.
  10. Oh my days. How very fortunate we are up here!
  11. Isn’t it on the ofsted website copy of the report?
  12. A 7 hour wait!!!! Is that normal? Crikey. When I called one for Zebedee a few weeks back it seemed to take forever, but was actually only 40 minutes. I can’t imagine the state he’d have been in after 7 hours of that pain!
  13. Our central heating came on this morning, so the house must have been less than 19 degrees! 😳😳 TDL is definitely something to be done straight away whilst still in work mode, then everything can be put away for the rest of the holiday - or what remains of it after tackling all the jobs!
  14. It’ll be a while - and ages before you look at stationery in a different light, and children’s book shops and book sales can be largely avoided! That last one took a lot longer for me!
  15. That all sounds absolutely fantastic. Now enjoy your well-earned retirement! I hope you stay on here! Xx
  16. That sounds a relief for everyone, I bet. I hope she continues to improve and that nobody else goes down too!
  17. Absolutely! Bear hunt is another one we often played with. Peace At Last is a good one to change environments and let the children think about what sounds there might be.
  18. Absolutely! He has metastatic prostate cancer which has spread into all his bones. Luckily there’s no spine compression but he had a very painful few months before diagnosis.
  19. Oh goodness, what a mess it all is! I’ve just got Zebedee back from hospital! He’d had his first chemo and was recovering well, or so we thought, when WHAM! Wednesday morning at 4am he was gasping with pain. Actual ten out of ten pain, which he never has. Ambulance called and he was rushed off. Diverticulitis, and he was lucky to escape surgery! That would have been a nightmare without any immunity thanks to the chemo. He was pumped full of antibiotics and steroids and is now home again, but now another delay in the chemo. Some good news though, our daughter and her girlfriend have set the date! August 2022! Let’s hope all the chemo is fine and he’s bouncing again by then. Praying for your granddaughters. 🙏🏼
  20. No, I didn’t know that. thanks x
  21. Is that because they actually were ‘men’ back then? Not this load of pandered, overpaid children? (Duck’s well below parapet) 😳😳😳🤭
  22. Duplicate post. Sorry
  23. https://www.glsed.co.uk/Product/Art-and-Design/Paint/Powder-Paint/Brian-Clegg-Powder-Paint---25kg-Tub---Purple/G213349?pk_cid=1&pk_keyword=G213349gls&pk_medium=multifeeds&pk_campaign=Google&pk_source=Google&pk_content=BusinessIndustrial&utm_source=Google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpK7U45nA8QIVshkGAB00PQqcEAQYAyABEgJ5efD_BwE
  24. Oh that’s annoying. There was plenty the other day, I thought
  25. SS arts is brilliant. Their prices are fantastic.
