A good laugh does wonders

emma27865 @emma27865 (101) 11 Nov 10

I love a good laugh, I know it is supposed to give all your insides a good work out, endorphins are released to further the good feeling. I haven't found much to laugh at lately. I need a good comedy with no xes (read backwards,...

I have three sons all of which are of course, adorable, but the first and third one is definately more dominant and as a result, tends to get more attention as they demand it. My husband and I are determined not to neglect the...

Do you give you children regular chores around the house?

emma27865 @emma27865 (101) 10 Nov 10

It took a long time for the penny to drop, that while my husband and I were tearing round the house doing chores, the children were on their games consoles/watching tv and having the time of their lives. Now we have a rule, after...

Party plan

emma27865 @emma27865 (101) 16 Oct 10

Does anyone do party plan? I used to sell lingerie years ago and fancy having a go at something else. It has to be something I really believe in, as I couldn't sell something I wasn't passionate about. Any of you do/have done...

I have just realised my son has been on the play station for 2 hours. Oops. I normally monitor him, letting him have 1/2 hour slots at a time, maybe twice and evening. I know if I let him, he would be playing on it all evening. It...

If you could live your life again, what would you change?

emma27865 @emma27865 (101) 23 Sep 10

I am pretty happy overall, but I wish I had had more confidence. I had no belief in myself when I was younger. I never thought I would be able to even learn to drive, and when I was told I had passed my test, I burst into tears, I...

Do we wrap our kids up in cotton wool too much?

emma27865 @emma27865 (101) 23 Sep 10

My son heard on the radio as school near us has banned children from running in the playground. Is this just getting beyond a joke now? They aren't allowed to be children as far as I can see. It is bad enough protecting them...

With money tight, Swishing is the new shopping

emma27865 @emma27865 (101) 23 Sep 10

The art of swishing means getting together with your friends for a swap of clothes. It's great fun, it means you can get rid of clothes to a good home and take some new ones (to you anyway) back home again without it costing you a...
