That would be excellent. Can you do it as pay per view?

You got your big bad biker boy pants on again today

You don't have to be sorry, you're the one missing out

Where's the fun in that?

It's hard when you're with a toddler all day and your life revolves around their needs and unreasonable demands. They suddenly become much easier around the age of 5 when they understand a lot more. There's good reason a lot of hotels won't accept children under the age of 7!

That's what I expected but not what I've found. The house warms up and retains the heat. Bit like your pellet burner I've found an hour in the morning is enough to warm up the house and stay warm, I notice no depreciation in warmth until way after sundown. In the evening if I forget to turn it off after 2 hours I start thinking bloody hell its hot in here Suppose it depend how well insulated your house is, this place is very good. My home in Blighty is terrible.

Lol I hadn't considered it's origins

An aircon unit which gives 3kw units to 1 of conventional heat (boiler etc) would be cheaper. And nicer in the summer.

Can't imagine pork working. Tartare success really depends on the quality of the ingredients and person assembling it, it needs the right level of input and most chefs seem to either choke it with raw onion or under season it so much it's just bland raw meat with no great hits to it. The first time I had it was in Raymond Blancs place and it was so good I order it whenever I see it on the menu and am always disappointed. Making it myself reminds me why I like it so much and on keep ordering it out even though it's a let down

Yep with Wagyu beef

Made something for dindins that you lightweights couldn't handle It was so good I'm posting a pic for you philistines anyway

Is this the time to post it was a sunny 19 degrees here today? Don't worry I'm still heating the place in Blighty I'm not even in and it's costing a fortune

That will be small recompense for bringing up a fucked up kid.

Sometimes thing's improve when the demands of baby and toddler hood ease off but then that’s usually when people decide to have another one! Sleep deprivation and being a parent are something you can’t understand until you’re there, it can exacerbate what was something minor into something major. If you’ve got as far as thinking wtf am I doing with you? and that’s a common occurrence rather than the odd occasion it’s probably time for couples counselling. If it’s just every now n then when you’re both stressed that’s not the same thing, with young kids I’d say that's normal. I know counselling wouldn’t be a popular suggestion on here but most people leave it until it’s far too late and one persons already mentally left the building so inevitably it fails. From there if it’s needed she might be able to start some individual counselling to sort out her self esteem but there’s no way on earth you’ll survive suggesting something like that yourself, it has to come from someone like a marriage counsellor. Most folk avoid that route and would rather split up because they don’t want to look at themselves or acknowledge their behaviour directly effects the people around them but a third party can suggest what to look at or do which if they’re skilful and the participants are willing happens in small enough increments for the OP to accept some things need to change. You have to be prepared to hear somethings about yourself you didn't expect and also might not like. If you’re unhappy and she is too but you love each other then it’s worth having a go at finding a way to be happy together for you both and Skye. If I counted the number of times I found myself quietly looking at Mr Slowly thinking “YOU’RE AN ARSEHOLE” when my kids were young I’d be a millionaire! It wasn’t a smooth path to the lovely marriage I have now but it was worth it. If you wake up tomorrow and have had a good nights sleep and post “Oh no, soz, everything’s fine I was just tired” I will kill you, I'll be happy for you but I will kill you

I would have said the same!

I sent him, he talks too much

Could be worse he could have to listen to you. He went back to Blighty yesterday which is probably why I got 9 hours sleep

I've just had over 9 hours sleep, don't think that's ever happened unless I've been ill. Feels like I've had an out of body experience

Dunno what you mean, I got pretty far into it before I finally came off. I’d like to see how long everyone keeps their bike upright hitting a gravel trap at 70. I think a competition is in order, The Gravel Trap challenge. Mind you you’d probably win cos boats float.

I’d rather try n ride down that than walk it.

It was defo somewhere but I don’t remember where

Dear Boy looks the sort that would.

Google says they love water, maybe he's just sensible?
