Should a child ask for food or just take it?
OH and I had a little debate about this last night and still aren't sure what the protocol is. I was brought up in a house where as a child if I wanted something to eat then I had to ask for it before helping myself as it was good manners.

Disney on Ice
Just seen an advert for this and seen it's at Wembley around my birthday in April. Has anyone been to this? Was thinking of taking my 5yr old and 3yr old girls there.

One pot or separate accounts?
What's your set up in your relationship and why? I've always liked the idea of everything one pot. I think it's easier and causes less resentment.
