Daughter's dial-up speed lament brings on one of Dad's lectures
"I'm seriously considering a technology ban in our house," writes Mike. "After going over our monthly limit and being reduced to dial-up speed, my 12-year-old daughter said to me yesterday:'Dad, I just can't live like this', which brought on the count-your-blessings speech, followed by the confiscation-threat speech. I'm really looking forward to our camping in January with no power."
A special thank you to White Cross Christmas angel
Christmas spirit: "I was at the White Cross in Glenfield on Tuesday with my two under-fives who were driving me mad," writes Ruth Porter. "A wonderful lady came in, sat down with my 4-year-old son and started talking to him. She had some fabulous new Usborne books which she showed him. She then gave them all to my kids. I was stunned at her generosity. As we were the next people called and by the end of the consultation I was more focused on explaining to my 4-year-old why it wasn't good practice to lick the walls of medical centres, I wasn't able to truly thank her for keeping one of my kids occupied and for the books so ... thank you and Merry Christmas!"
