My email account had a security alert and so blocked me out. I've sorted it now so hopefully that's ok. My son won't eat his tea and his pretend whine has forced me to put him to the table with his tea and leave him to it. It sounds like he's praying in a foreign accent and then stopping to listen for a reaction. Wow it's amazingly annoying but I'm staying calm.
My wife is having trouble at work but they don't seem to care. I keep telling her not to give a shit, just clock in and out and let them change things to make it run better. But she is more of a proud worker than that and won't allow that attitude to play out. 
Work will always try make you work beyond your duty, we are all suppose to care as much as the people at the top even on crap wages. I'm lucky with my job, because I like it I don't mind doing extra. 
Watching childrens tv adverts it doesn't seem to have got any better. The toys have more electronic parts maybe but they also seem more plastic, I guess that is from being made cheaper. It's all the main products such as Thomas The Tank Engine and Postman Pat etc. but it looks rubbish. Old toys are better still. More love went into making them.
