  1. One downside of kids at school: Turning heating on just for me seems a waste. /Rubs hands next to laptop powersupply + tries to keep warm...
  2. @MichaelMarten RE: They're learning social skills- Aye, that'll be my excuse when they take up binge drinking and street brawling as well :)
  3. Judged solely on the amount of time invested, my kids' favourite game to play together seems to be arguing over which game to play together.
  4. Made mistake of letting Sprog2 choose his own hairstyle. He's very pleased with the resulting mullet. The rest of us aren't quite so sure...
  5. My mum's annoyed she didn't need proof of age to get senior discount at the hairdresser. She's 77. Got to admire her positive self image!
  6. @Farrow17 Oh, gag. I'm not popping his zits for him. Don't mind taking part in an advisory capacity but I draw the line at a hands on role!
  7. And so it begins... Sprog1 produced his first truly amazing zit today. To pop or not to pop, that is the question. (Sorry if you're eating)
  8. @MichaelMarten I think the problem was more they had full cups of milk and were waving their arms around! (Shudder.)
  9. @MichaelMarten Knew that even as I was dreaming. Didn't save my dream self from watching kids eat Cheerios while book sat on kitchen table:{
  10. Now I think of it, the dream before that involved a new arrival on the way. No wonder I feel like I need another coffee already today.
  11. Dreamt the kids borrowed the £9 million book the British library just bought. (I'm still tense a couple of hours after waking up...)
  12. @MichaelMarten Yes! Some pop culture I actually know! He's one of the Little Britain guys. Swam the channel for Sport Relief, etc. Enjoy!
  13. @MichaelMarten Yes.
  14. Only just realised: turning my #iPod sideways gives the built-in calculator app 24 extra buttons - why doesn't anyone tell me these things?
  15. Hooray! Sproglette can cycle round the park by herself without stabilisers - my days of pushing small wheeled vehicles are officially over.
  16. #MoshiMonsters should allow one-off payments to send monsters 'to live on a farm' so kids can happily progress to some other fad guilt-free.
  17. Q to 7yr old guest: Do you like pancakes? A: 'Yes' UPDATE as food is served: 'I don't like pancakes.. Oh & I'm allergic to eggs' #spacecadet
  18. Taking a flask of coffee with me to the swing park. Genius! Why didn't I have this idea 10 years ago?
  19. @charlie_swin My ungrateful kids have given me a cold. Like the post! Next time, for added shame, also wear sparkly pink homemade jewellery.
  20. Blueyonder ( #VirginMedia ) email users- check your spam folder. The filter's been cranked up. It specially hates blueyonder addresses. Doh!
