Watching children's television programmes and my life


Bloody hell I am cold today and the cold is giving me a headache, Kathy told me I should go and buy a heater and maybe she is onto something although we have not had a large heater in years, we do have a couple of small ones, there is one in the bathroom and one in my bedroom that I put on at night so the room is warm once I get out of the bath and go into get dressed. Although I reckon if I told Tim I wanted wanted money for a heater he would complain.

Speaking of Tim and complaining about money yesterday I went and asked him for $25 to pay for my Avon as I have not received any pension money in a month so I have no money of my own to pay for it and what did he do, complain of course and I got all upset with him as I have not asked him for money to pay for my Avon in over a year and I was only asking for $25 and that upset me.

Jessica got all pissy with her dad about his attitude than she went and had a talk to him and afterward he told me three times in half an hour that he loved me, I don't know what she said to him but it must have made him feel bad about his attitude although he still hasn't given me the $25.

Kathy has dropped off the girls for me to watch for a couple of hours while her and Michael go shopping for new clothes, so I decided to make some patty cakes aka cupcakes.

Daemon and Summer have been playing alright until a moment ago when he pushed her over and now she is sooking and wants me to just nurse her but I am not that soft I gave her a cuddle and told her she was ok and to go and play again. Sydney-May is fine she is sitting on the lounge eating chocolate which is melting in her hand she is taking that long to eat it............lol

Ok just went and made toast for the kids with milk to drink and now I am back to try and finish this post off.

Got a question for you do you watch a lot of children tv shows at the moment I am watching Sheriff Callie's Wild West a children’s show, of a morning I watch a lot of children shows I let the children have control of the tv for the first part of the day than I get the tv for the late afternoon and evening.

I can remember when I was a child my mum going to her bedroom to read a book while us kids watched telly in the lounge room, we only had one tv in the house and if dad was a work mum would let us watch whatever we wanted while she read then after we went to bed she would watch something.



Now days children have tv sets in their bedrooms well all the children I know do and it is so much easier, my girls all had their own telly and I remember getting asked many times if that was a good idea as they might stay up way to late watching tv but it never happened and they never watched shows I didn't think were appropriate.

  1. recently i bought an electric throw. it's warm and cozy even when not switched on. it's like an electric blanket and when i'm watching tv in the evenings i put it on. it's great and i am told quite economical to use. i am on my own so it's great for my needs. when i have the g/kids or friends/family over i put the heater on.

    1. I have seen those electric throw rugs in the store and wonded if they would be any good, I might get one for when Jes stays over it would keep her warm without me having to buy a lot more blankets

  3. I never thought about children's TV programs since my "baby" is almost 40...until this grandchild that is going to arrive soon. I have been thinking I should watch some of them to get an idea of what is out there these days.

  5. I used to watch some children's shows with Favorite Young Man and The Hurricane. If I ever have a grandchild, I'm sure we'll watch some shows together. Doesn't your house have a furnace?

    Love,

    1. No the house doesn't have a furnace, housing in Aus usually don't.

      Yeah when you have little ones in the house children's shows are the norm

    2. I didn't know that about Australia. Tim had better get you more heaters. What about electric blankets?

  6. I was wondering about the furnace too. What are the low temperatures in your part of Australia? I can't imagine not having a furnace in the winter. Are your homes insulated well?

    1. Yes the house is insulated and in my part of Australia at night it gets down to as low as 10°C which is 50°F and during the day it can be as low as 15°C which is 59°F so maybe not as cold as some places
