Even when there was a big push on them about 20 years back. Basically 30% pig piss, 70% water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliss. It was a two stage thing with our first. She was capable of getting up, getting herself a bowl of cereal and watching kids' TV. BUT... then the cat started coming up and pestering us for his breakfast. So the nipper was given the job of feeding the cat. From that point, everybody was happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then cry the place down when the figures for shoplifting have never been so high. Strange that? I understand that in some states in the US of A, the threshold is something near a thousand dollars, before theft counts as a crime. In Chicago they have what they call "scarecrow" policing in districts with high-end stores, which basically means police cars parked every hundred yards. The trouble is that the police can't deal with big mobs and are not allowed to chase suspects. It sounds like a typical solution thought up by criminologists, and no doubt, coming here soon. The affect on poor inner-city areas is devestating because the locals without transport pay higher prices for lower quality food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're currently stuck between the tablet keeping him quiet for an hour when he's up at 5am and it acting as an incentive for him to get up at that time.

If you can get a DVD off Ebay all the better. I should try pirating my copy. It's a long time out of production though. I think Disney bought them out so it's a small possibility it may be on Disney plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Don't want to turn it too dark, but my parents locked me in my bedroom, I left it when they let me out. I wouldn't recommend that though, perhaps just give them an ipad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 My son went to bed 6pm yesterday and at half 9 this morning I had to wake him to check he hadn't got brain damage or something. Last 2 nights he's slept through for the first time ever without even a grunt, bottle or squeal. He was fine btw. My body clock woke me up at 4am. word removed.

sidcow Posted February 9 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9 This seems the closest they have on YouTube. It's not the full thing and I don't think entirely the original but it's close. Mozart was the only one that worked, ignore the others (my kids did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just cancelled my subscription (citing ‘Price’ as the reason!) and will go with the free functions. I think it basically just works like normal, except for you either don’t get to see the videos unless they’re live, or they only save for 24 hours (I’ve seen different comments online) instead of 2 weeks or whatever it is. We already have 4 security cameras that record to a box and store for 4+ weeks, so Ring can do one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
