Nanny's GangJust lovely, brought a tear to they eye! I am afraid we are guilty of the 'secret treats', usually ice cream! It is the things children remember when they are adults.ViewDate:

Walter The MoleHow my husband fears the mole! Just as I read him your poem he spotted a mole hill on the lawn. They are the bane of his life!!ViewDate:

Two beds or not two bedsSounds very familiar, the kicking starts and I know he is dreaming! A spare bed is very very handy!!!ViewDate:

Should we encourage children to identify as cats and other animals?Absolutely crazy and I have no idea why this sort of thing is being allowed. Why are schools/teachers allowing this to happen? Plus the 'gender' thing should be kept out of the classroom until a child is old enough to totally understand it.ViewDate:

Do you prefer the texture of vacuum-packed mince?It is awful, just cooks down to nothing. I go to a butcher and buy it from him. I tried vacuum packed cubed braising steak and the same thing happened with that, it just broke apart during cooking.ViewDate:

My Teeth Ain't What They Used to BeRemember my mum's false teeth, how she used to 'lose' them. No idea how you can forget where you left your teeth, but she did!!ViewDate:

When I'm Eighty-FourI know exactly what you mean and when your kids starting looking at you in 'that' way, the way that shows they are thinking that you are losing the plot, that feeling is even worse. Hey, we are still here though and we still have a sense of humour!!ViewDate:

The Slow Cooker Versus Bubble WrapI know how you feel about new gadgets. I find them complicated and much prefer my old and loved kitchen stuff!ViewDate:

The best of Top Of The PopsIt all looks so innocent compared to today's music, make-up and fashions. I have to say that the girls look prettier without the false lashes, etc.ViewDate:

Should the Queen's Guard bearskins be changed to faux fur?Wasn't this tried before and the faux fur does not stand up to wet weather? The bear skins are taken from animals that have been culled for some reason.ViewDate:

7 Clever uses for Vicks VapoRubI remember goose grease; also cod liver oil and malt, that used to sit in a large stone jar on the kitchen window-sill and I was supposed to have a spoonful every morning before school. I used to try and get through the door before mum thought about it!! It was disgusting. Happy days!ViewDate:

Clever uses for citrus peelCleans kettles! Just drop used halved lemons, or lemon pieces into the kettle, fill kettle and boil. Leave standing overnight, empty next morning and boil fresh water. Works a treat!ViewDate:

What goes on first - the jam or the cream?It is easier to put the jam on first. One thing we noticed on our last trip to Devon was that the scones were served warm. We prefer them cold but I guess a lot of them will have been frozen.ViewDate:

Do you think 'grid girls' should be banned in F1?Totally agree with you Pam. I sat and listened to three 'professional' looking girls swearing like troopers! Ladylike they most definitely were not. The more wine they drank the louder and more foul mouthed they became.ViewDate:

Do you think 'grid girls' should be banned in F1?It is all getting totally out of hand. The girls are not forced to do this, they have a choice. I don't care for the idea of having children doing it. Feminism is becoming ridiculous. They want equality but are behaving like spoilt brats.ViewDate:

Ode to the Brussels sproutBrilliant, funny. Sprouts are a bit like Marmite, love them or hate them! We always end up throwing some away!ViewDate:

Will you be sending Christmas cards this year?Yes, I will send Christmas cards for as long as I can. Folk like to receive them and the art of communicating without the use of a mobile or a computer is rapidly disappearing.ViewDate:

Grandparent's DelightHaving just spent a week with our 2 year old granddaughter I totally know what you are saying! Soft play, a piece of cake! Maybe not, but fun at the time. Later on, not so funny and in bed by 9pm! Love your poems.ViewDate:

Should Theresa May stay or go?I agree with you Sue. I would think more of our politicians if they stood together right now and saw us through the Brexit process.ViewDate:

Is the greeting 'Ladies and Gentlemen' out of date?Why do the minority always get their way? What is wrong with the phrase 'ladies and gentlemen'? Crazy.ViewDate:
