Heard a story this evening about Lincoln getting picked on walking home from school by 3 boys one of which was giving it the big I am while pushing Lincoln. Out of nowhere a voice shouts “WHAT THE HELL ARE 3 DOING, GET IN THE CAR ALL OF YOU!” the boy giving it large went […]
We want the best for our children all parents do because we want them to have a better life than we had, we want it to be easier and without stress, but we should always keep in mind that we can only build the best foundations for them to thrive. It is so difficult to […]
Played pool tonight at Arena, Crewe and was brought to book about not timing a game, which is a rule! Their captain came over to me and said “Just pointing out that ‘if’ you want to time then you time but no-one was timing the last game” He was correct no-one timed the first part […]
