It does happen... My daughter has gone beyond that, she is now telling me what to do and how to do it.... Apparently there is a place in the cupboard for golden syrup and it is not next to the Marmite. I hope you can get your camera fixed. It is difficult to get things fixed, isn't it? Good luck with the Swindon Town game! xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-62126957298393971022020-11-09T10:29:15.263+00:002020-11-09T10:29:15.263+00:00My son has informed me that now we live in Swindon...My son has informed me that now we live in Swindon support for the team is needed- so may the best team win!

(A comment here is saying that.) Very petty. <br /><br />Tolerance is about accepting differences of opinion and trying to find middle ground. If you want people to change their views, you set a good example to follow and aim for polite dialogue that is respectful. The left is often as obnoxious as the right and extremely judgemental. Are people wanting division or reconciliation? Showing kindness is a good way forward. Stereo-typing is not considered a good thing so perhaps we shouldn't do it - to anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-8338421175014690502020-11-08T19:55:25.337+00:002020-11-08T19:55:25.337+00:00It's a good thing I flatter myself to know you...It's a good thing I flatter myself to know you so well, I might have been worried.....;)<br /><br />I live for the day someone other than me makes lunch and dinner....and cleans up afterwards. xoxomelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984286138124792000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-48918648692846284372020-11-08T13:31:22.251+00:002020-11-08T13:31:22.251+00:00That was a good way to get our attention.

Pleased to hear the lads are stepping up to help. I was also one of those mums that did everything, mostly because it was easier but I have to say they have all grown up to be excellent cooks, making most of the meals, doing the shopping and the eldest two doing all of the nappy changing etc for their babies. So maybe they were watching and learning Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689402000429710324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-89122897981426000472020-11-08T08:22:23.830+00:002020-11-08T08:22:23.830+00:00Haha!

Mine were always very diffident about anything ‘ not normal’. Good that they are stepping up to help even if it is only one day!

If the latter, then that's a shame. I used to love my girls' cookery day - it meant that I didn't have to make dinner that night! Who knew that sausage rolls were so diverse?! We're holding off on the leaf raking for another week in the hope that we can just do it once.

How nice of you to support the littlest to become a gourmet chef! That should pay off in the long run.
