RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I don't really recall Matthew ever being manipulative apart from the final plea for a dog! "Well as I'm clearly not getting a brother or sister, so can we have a dog?" Even Aditi's "no dogs" policy didn't stand up to that.

Two_sugars Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Beast, Children are brilliant.............................between the ages of 5 and 6 years old. Both before and after that they are a struggle. They are annoying little toads (no offence Ashers!) who quickly learn the art of manipulation and playing one parent against the other. Fortunately, after having two I found out what caused them. So I soon put a stop to that! Still, even after all the angst and misery they cause, we still love them to bits. Regards Richard The best time is up until they'e about 6. . . . . .watching the lights coming on Edited November 13, 2013 by Two_sugars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Excellent school reports for both children last night. We must be doing something right; buying a house near a good school was probably one of the things I did right. )) Sunny but cold here. Just bought a new saw to tackle the large oak beam/sleeper. I'm going outside - I may be some time.... Andy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2013 On the kids - I do love them both to bits, even though I've inherited them - but they still need a firm push from time to time. Jill was especially chuffed that her daughter got a commendation from the school for excellent work, as was I - and I told her so, I don't only do the bad stuff. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bigbee Line Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Just made a cuppa, a cold has me coughing and spluttering, must have been raining as I can hear the wet as cars go by. Relieved by yesterdays hospital visit, I'd been referred after my first 'diabetic eye test'. After the usual stinging drops and photo session, the consultant had a good look and declared them 'a good pair of eyes' and discharged me. It was interesting that he could see scarring from a couple of episodes of brake dust being removed in the 80's. Today will be more packing, collection of prescriptions and the chiropodist visiting. For all you youngsters, that's what happens as you get old. You might think you can dodge it, but it will creep up on you. Enjoy the day.

DonBradley Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Good morning to you all. I slept right through until 6:00 notwithstanding sunrise at 5:34 so I am well rested and eager to begin the day. Talking of growing old it seems to come in downward steps with plateau intervals between steps. My mate Bam who celebrated his 90th birthday at the end of August is a case in point. He has been an indefatigable walker during the months I have known him taking a long walk to the shops every morning and two shorter walks in the afternoon until this week when he complained on ennui and the Dr forbade him to leave the premise. He had suddenly aged. Best wishes to DD who faces further challenges, problems and worries the the coming days and weeks. My thoughts are with you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Good Morning one - n - all, laptop seems so far to have woken up first try this morning. Not over much to report from here so far, though this being the dry season, we had several tropical don pours yesterday... Only two "seasons" here (which is confussing!) Hot & wet or Wet & hot.! Try your best to find something to smile at today, Trev. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted November 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2013 Good morning all, Dry start & warmer at 8oC. This morning there could be sunshine & showers but not necessarily in that order. Today I'm off to my daughter's house to help SiL start redecorating Joe's bedroom. It's only a very small room so three years ago I built him a high level bunk which now needs lowering because as he's growing so quickly he's too close to the ceiling! My knee is aching in anticipation, Have a good one, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
