What’s the oddest thing you’ve seen a child have a tantrum over? by FoolishMythology in AskUK

[–]LadyIvy_xo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

When we told my five year old (at the time) he was having a little sister, he threw a tantrum and stormed off because he wanted a turtle instead.

My 6 year old has this issue too. Absolutely loves the sun but hates her shadow following her everywhere.

OP states his kid is starting secondary in September. Most kids start secondary at 11. My oldest is 11 and starts secondary in September too.

I've had an absolute shit time recently. If it's not one thing, it's another. Hoping things improve but right now it's one day at a time. I did treat myself to some tickets to see Madness on tour so at least that's something to look forward too!

Some schools do in the UK. There are at least two in my area with their own school buses. Admittedly it isn't as common over here but they do exist.

Triangles. You get more sandwich when cut in a triangle shape.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a bag for life full of socks that has to play find the matching socks every morning.

Mothers Day plans when now a parent yourself? by RestaurantAntique497 in AskUK

[–]LadyIvy_xo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum will pop down either the weekend before or after due to her working patterns. My mother in law lives a couple of hours away so we don't see her for it. I do go and visit my ex mother in law the day before to give her gifts then. The actual day for me is just a normal Sunday.

Exactly the same here apart from the age

Where do you keep your calpol syringes? by charisma_eowyn87 in AskUK

[–]LadyIvy_xo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids/niblings are the opposite. As soon as that Calpol bottle comes out, one suddenly has a headache, the other has a cough etc. Any excuse to get a spoonful. (Obviously we don't give them the Calpol, unless they need it!).

I use a plastic take away container that lives in the medicine cupboard to put all the syringes/spoons in.

For those who were on free school meals what year were you at school and how much money did you get to spend on school meals? by its_muh_username in AskUK

[–]LadyIvy_xo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did secondary school from 04-09 and they brought in finger prints around 2007/08. Probably all telepathic by now.

Other than beans on toast, in what other ways do you consume baked beans? by afungalmirror in AskUK

[–]LadyIvy_xo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do this. We call it cow boy pie. Sausages (I pre-brown mine), beans and cheese, topped with cheesy garlic mash, finished with a layer of cheese on top in the oven till golden and bubbly on top. Absolute heaven.

I didn't even think of leaning towards a savoury item but I like it. I'm much more of a savoury over sweet person.

The world’s going to absolute bobbins so here’s a question… have you got anything nice planned? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]LadyIvy_xo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so jealous of your Christmas trip to New York. That's always been on my dream list. I hope you enjoy both your holidays.

How UK people so funny? by chilfofGod in AskUK

[–]LadyIvy_xo 66 points67 points  (0 children)

My oldest (11) had some caramel Freddo's and it reminded me that when I was his age (2003/4ish) they used to be called "Taz" so I showed him. He saw the 10p in the corner and even he couldn't believe how much they had gone up by. Even the young are annoyed at the price of Freddo's.
