It's rare to be honest. My husband knows I'm not a morning person (and I tend to be the one getting up with the baby in the night) so on a Sunday he will take both boys for an hour or so for me to get a little more sleep. Our boys both go to bed by 7.30ish (when things go to plan) but most of the evening is taken up with housework/cooking/preparing for tomorrow etc and a bit of TV because my brain has stopped working. 

It feels quite sad to say this but my 'me' time is when I'm at work or the few times a week I wash my hair in the shower rather than a quick 2 minute shower. I think there will be more time as the kids get older but 11 month olds are quite demanding and my two year old is doing everything he can to impersonate a teenager at the moment so he's very full on too.

I mean in conspiracy theory logic its more likely that I am infact Tupac, moonlighting as a middle aged mother of two from Yorkshire.

*Ahem* I never, ever believed that, not even for one minute, not even when I was a totally gullible teenager and believed anything...

I hope Tupacs family feel some sort of justice at last.

Also related, Dear Mama comes to Disney + on October 1st. Well worth a watch.

It's a shame his mum is no longer with us to see it. 

There was an interview with Allen Hughes the director in the Guardian the other week, the documentary sounds really good. I'll definitely be watching it.

Same! I honestly thought it would never be solved. One of the police officers on the case actually got really emotional at the press conference, it was all a bit surreal

I got given a big box of Cadbury's Roses. They have REALLY gone down hill, they are 70% caramel or caramel adjacent and I don't really like caramel - also, they are basically the same but in different shapes - which is also true for most of the others apart from the Orange and Strawberry cremes. Whilst it wouldn't ever be my first choice, but Quality Street are far, far superior.

That's correct. First two series were on Channel 4, then Netfiix bought it. Think Drake did actually.

 

Drake bought it and approached Netflix to make the series' for him. He's executive producer on all last 3 seasons I think.

Thanks @LokiI'll pop to the Garden Centre when I get started. I should still pull the weeds first right? 

I loved series 1, didn't think series 2 was as good but still liked it and have only recently started watching series 3, I've got about 2 episodes left and have really enjoyed it. There are some new characted which I think were a good addition and helped freshen things up a bit.

I imagine the definition of what it is could be up debate @Just Some Guybut for me I think pushes the line over in to harassment for the reasons @Factotumgave along with a few others

Regarding Fox, I think he belongs here, surely those comments he made about Ava Evan's can be considered as sexual harassment?

If he had made those comments off air to his mate, it would just be a distasteful conversation but to say it in public where he knew she would hear it, I think is harassment.

I feel for all your mothers, you must have been nightmares as babies.

But are not actually in the Tory party or vocally given their support to them. I get the impression the Tories aren't to the right enough for him.

Ooo thank you, my mum grew some garlic for me so would definitely like to give that a go

Cheers @King Coconut, I'll get a day booked off

Advice please gents, we bought our house last year, it has a beautiful garden and a nice sized vegetable patch and greenhouse. Last year we managed to do some decent maintenance and keep it all in decent shape, this year however, with a baby and a toddler we have only just managed to maintain the house and other than cutting the grass and the odd bit of hedge/bush trimming the garden has been very neglected. 

My kids are both at nursery now and I'm back at work so I now have some time in theory. I popped in to the garden today to take a look at the vegetable patch and it is overrun with weeds and raspberries. I could book the day off work and dedicate some time to clearing it. My question is, am I best to do that now or wait till the spring time? My instincts are to do it now because it looks awful and I think it's going to get worse over the winter or will everything just die? What's the best thing for me to do?

If my knowledge of winding a baby/reflux applies here, it's all to do with the diaphragm. You must both have incredibly strong ones that don't need any excess air released on that direction. Bizarre.

I really hope that turns out to be true @Loki.The thought of four more years of these cretins, especially if they actually think they have full public support doesnt bare thinking about.

Sunak doesn't seem to quite have the same self loathing as Braverman. She really is the lowest of the low, going out of her way to sell her own race out every chance she gets.

The words I have for Suella Braverman, I don't feel comfortable sharing on a public forum. There is a special place in hell for people like her.

They are a chain @Loki  all their branches are like that - fake quirky

Surely cheese and pepperoni are very different flavours? (Never actually had pepperoni)

I also can't fry an egg @BomberPatI can make lots of other egg-focused recipes but can't fry an egg

Use a dishwasher. I can stack a dishwasher and currently own one but have bo idea how to actually switch it on. I asked my sister to show me last time she came to stay and she forgot and I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone else so will have to wait till her next visit.

I'm quite good at DIY but wish I knew more, however I can t fo anything with a car other than put windscreen wiper fluid in and I desperately wish I knew more but I can't even change a tyre.

I can not iron a shirt or dress trousers (the type with a crease down the front) for love nor money. I am absolutley useless and have about as much and co-ordination as a two year old.

I'm not in my best physical state at the moment and haven't excercised properly in nearly 2 years, however even when I was in very good shape, I can not do a squat to save my life. My knees seem to have life of their own and just go off in all different directions. 

Yeah, I couldn't give a shit either @SuperBacon. I frankly also find the idea laughable, having worked for local government on child protection - they really don't give a flying fuck about any of us as long as we pay our taxes and dont make more money than them
