    Aww, arent kids strange !! DS has a mate in, and he's just told us we've got the coolest house ever :confused:

    We've got scabby old curtains, horrible 3 piece suite, yet he thinks we're cool. In fact, all the kids' friends love to come here. Me no understand :confused:

    You must have a "homely" home Spud, a one where kids feel comfortable which is cool to them.

    All of my friends and OH used to love to come to our house when I was still at home, we had nowt but there was always something going on and Mam always made our friends feel welcome.

    One of my friends has a house like a palace and I used to be scared to sit down in there:eek: she had blummin Lladro ornaments everywhere and I was convinved that one would just jump off a surface if I walked past it.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Definitely what Lou said Spud, it's about a clean and "homely" home. Palace houses aren't good and neither are pigsties. Must mean you have a nice balance :)

    Well, it's very much a home, not a house Lou. There's no taking shoes off when you come in or owt like that :rolleyes:

    Most of the mates families have never struggled like we do, this is quite a well off area. Not sure why we're here :p

    One of DS's friends thinks our car is the best ever. It's an old R reg, with heaven knows how many miles on the clock (we dont know coz that bit on the dashboard is broke)

    I just dont get it. All these kids have better cars, nicer houses, yet they love to come here. Maybe they like to see how poor people live :rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh, and Lladro - yukkkkk
