    Do you let your children eat what they want when they want

    Mine's only 9 months old but there is no way she will be able to eat whenever she feels when she is older. he is fed at the same times so she's getting into a routine and at the moment half of what she has is what we have (less the salt and sugar), and half is healthy organic baby food. My wife...

    Yes, I've been hearing this a bit recently. I suppose it depends on the timescales being used. Testing has noticeably risen compared to say June and July but the amount of testing has been very similar throughout all of August so I'm not sure that's actually correct. We are seeing a slight...

    Born again

    When I first saw the question I thought it would be a faily easy answer but i'm really struggling. I want to live through a time where medicine is good and life expectancy is high, so that rules out anything before 1900. I'm a lover, not a hater and would never want to live through or fight in a...

    I went into my local shop last night and there must have been around 20 people coming and going whilst I was in there. Only 1 person had a mask on. There used to be a 1 in 1 out system but everyone's back to coming and going as they please. It's very much back to normal. I'm not sure what to...

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-53762233 300 positive tests in a sandwich factory in Northampton. All of whom work there so I would guess there will be plenty of family and friends also being confirmed in the next few days. Off the top of my head we've had breakouts in...

    Online Sales Tax

    I'm 500% up online which sounds lovely but realistically I've gone from taking peanuts to 5 times as many peanuts. Over the past 3 months I think many older people in particular have discovered the internet it pretty handy for shopping. I'll be surprised if high street footfall gets within 15%...

    Online Sales Tax

    A 2% online tax will make no difference to the high street whatsoever. It's a money maker, one of many that will undoubtedly be rolled out in the next few months to start paying for the past few months. Does anyone else work in retail? I see the national footfall is around 40% down year on year...

    Ever Been Sacked ?

    The mind numbing profession of selling greeting cards. The place I worked for treated me like shit for around 5 years so decided to start up myself. My wife previously worked for said company and had a misscarriage at work and had to go to the doctors so I went over to cover. The area manager...

    Ever Been Sacked ?

    Never been sacked but been threatened many times in the past in my old job. Things really came to a head when my area manager decided I had opened a rival store selling the same type of stuff about 100 yards away. He had no proof abd threats of the sack then turned to threats of demotion, then...

    Look after my bills

    I've just had a bill from EDF. £527 in credit and they are lowering my monthly direct debits to use it up. Only problem is the original direct debit is too high despite my telling them and the new amount is around what I usually use so the credit is never going to be used up. To be fair if I...

    I think the Welsh announcement gives us a pretty good idea of what Boris will say tomorrow. Very little change and another 3 weeks of it.

    How’s everyone doing at the moment ?

    I've got a 5 month old Daughter so it's been very nice (sometimes) to get to spend a lot of time with her when ordinarily I would be out at work or asleep 5 or 6 days a week. I'm also one of those people that gets used to things quickly, this feels normal for me now and I could probably keep it...

    Proud to work at HMRC

    Fair play, I made a claim on Monday and looking at my online banking this morning I have a pending payment from HMRC due in my account on Monday. Fantastic service and so simple to use. It must have been some effort to get it all set up and processed as quickly as this.

    If you're relying on the worldometer website for critical figures, don't. If they don't have the figures to hand they leave the pmost recent ones up until they get an updated figure. We've been on 163 critical for 3 days or so now, and before that we were sat on 20 for a week or longer.

    Seriously struggling today

    Youtube. Music makes me happy so i'll put a few videos on to cheer me up or at least keep my mind occupied. I will usually get the guitar out and pretend I can actually play it but with the wife at home that's something I can't currently do though. I'll also watch videos of happy sporting...
