I checked out his book from the library. It's very easy to read.

Ammi is obviously correct lol. You'll find also when baby leaves the demanding food/nappy/nap schedule phase and you as the mum have decided they are fundamentally and developmentally where they should be, you'll also have thrived/developed with them. All that energy you learned to develop so you could focus on little one, a good portion will free up as the demands continue to lessen, so your little child is going to be ready and waiting to point a big giant light into your life onto areas that need the most focus. That will include things like well-being and being more creative around productivity. Something about that shift in energy really clears up prioritizes and that can help you restructure to make the little stuff less impactful and more trivial. You may find the cleaning won't be as painful since it's more centered around making the space work more for you and family when you're more focused on the bigger picture stuff. But yeah, I spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun outside doing lawncare with child and pups and DIY stuff as I can when my house was frustrating me... which is often, because I'm still physically working on it...

Inflation is one reason.

And the main reason is corporations love to financially bankrupt people.:laugh:

For what it’s worth, by the way, Jessica, I think you’re doing just fine.

I agree.

The fact that Jessica is concerned about her situation shows that she's doing a better job of being a parent than a lot of parents out there.

That's great news.

My house was a bomb site when my son was little too :laugh: I would tidy up when he went down and within 2 mins of him getting up it would be trashed again.

I always said I wanted a home and not a show house. Now he's older its much easier - just enjoy him and you can worry about housework later :love:

Zizu 25-04-2025 09:22 AM

When our teenagers bedrooms were a mess I grabbed a black bin bag and walked towards the stairs.. they dashed past me to tidy up

LOL

Mandy (Emmers) accuses Lydia behind her back of having an affair with her old dumping-ground buddy, Craig, when all-the-while she’d been raped by him. That’s what gossip is like.

Mandy sounds lovely.:umm2:

I don't even need to talk about Craig's actions, as any decent Human Being should already know that his actions aren't good.

Mandy’s not a bad person, to be fair (this is Emmerdale, b.t.w.). She just puts her foot in it with her mouth sometimes and that’s her detriment.

Why on earth are we seeing more and more female attendants cleaning men’s toilets whilst being used ??


They now put a sign at the doorway so you get to choose to go in or find other toilets ( practically impossible)

My brother's been caught a couple of times, some woman slopping a mop around the urinals while men are using them. It's not on.

Redway 30-04-2025 11:46 PM

The fact that there’s a Waitrose in Croydon.

The fact that half-pints and full pints exist but 3/4-pints don’t.

Given that the three Christian Bale Batman movies are supposedly so brilliant I thought I would give them a try

Within 2 minutes of Batman Begins .. I am close to ditching it just due to the two PATHETIC fake beards of two important characters !!

The Film is fun if you like the Superhero genre imo.

Don't let fake beards put you off a Film that you might otherwise like.

The way phones get bigger and bigger with each model-advancement. Maybe in the future they’ll reach billboard-size, and then what do we do?

It’s time for the iPhone to stop growing. In size anyway.

Agreed

My iPhone 14+ is the perfect size imho

The way a whole house can stink after someone’s been chopping cucumber. The smell makes me gag.

How elders in someone’s home-town community dismiss/fail to acknowledge many seasoned, rich points of convergence and inspiration from young people, prefer to disrespect them (even to the extent of smear-campaigning and public gaslighting) and wonder why so many young people, who were in the corner writing premium dissertations and cooking smoky jollof rice with duck the whole time, run away and hardly ever come back. Which can sometimes drive a wedge between the best of friends and one-in-8-trillion community-associations. All because some auntie Lucy or Florence-bastard spotted them outside the club and had very judgemental things to say. Generational dismissal (whether it’s random smear-campaigning or harsh, gossipy spiritual judgement) really ain’t t’one, and, again, unacknowledged brilliance in youth leads to loss and a monumental waste of opportunity that might never blossom in the same way. So the very people claiming to be custodians of culture and legacy should respect young people more and not engaging in collective generational gaslighting, smear-campaigning someone who’s in the corner minding they business.

How some of these people still maintain solid links with their home-town community and have reverence for the legacy and unique condense of it all (if that’s the vibe-undercurrent) is … it’s applaudable. Spiritualised-gossip church-waggers and toxic elders don’t make it easy, but yet, some of these young people keep turning up, in heart and/or in t’flesh, while they slice ugboguru and enrich the community with things they can offer, offering back to the very soil that sometimes spat them out, over-pathologised them. They pour out showers of incessant riches (richer than a pot of ofe-Owere/Owerri stock-based with the bone of okporoko, goat, duck, goose, venison/mgbada, tolotolo and lavished with snail and periwinkles), even when people continue to undermine them and disrespect their name. If that ain’t spiritual resilience, I don’t know what is.

Young people have a voice, even when the world assumes they’re best being drowned out.

Played bowls for the 1st time tonight. Local pub/business/ just four lads, league.

Looked at the playing surface and wished for the golf course greens to be as emaculate.

Ps, 6-1 down after 4 legs of six. Won 8-6 in the end. Beat the next team 10-0.


June 20thish for the next round.

Our actual bowler called off so I got the final place in our works team of 4. All 4 of us, hadn't touched a ball that wasn't our own, since about 1986.

I'm wondering, or perhaps pondering if all those afternoons as a 4-6 yr old kid visiting auntie Elsie, and uncle Frank's, big house with the what looked massive, hallway. Playing with uncle Frank's mini balls, as a kid. Well. Well perhaps they are paying off.

I did laugh when I was wafflling that story to my work mates about the long hallway..

The wide one of the 3, just blurted out. "Was auntie Elsie telling you it was your turn to Jack off?

:blush:

Prefer X slightly more than those two


Best for me is YouTube
