In much the same way that my mum thinks that all worldy ills can be solved by Savlon, my eldest son thinks that everything can be mended with Blutac!!! For example: mobile phones, bedframes, lumps of plaster off the wall???
how does he use blutac on his mobile phone dear, stick it to his ear so he can have both hands on the steering wheel? And any bedframe that can stand being repaired with it is obviously getting about the same amount of wear and tear as my bed when my husband's away, or when he's home for that matter, sigh. thanks ever so for the link by the way. love Rilly
My son, a little younger than yours at eight, has a touching if misguided faith in string and sellotape. Going into his room is like navigating a booby-trapped den in Indiana Jones. I try to stay out and just yell at him to tidy it. It works no better than blu-tak.
My Grandad had a similar touching faith in Disprin as a magic cure-all. Blu-tack is quite useful. Did you see The Apprentice the other week when an uppity American photographer was complaining about it. "The thing about Blu-Tack is it's so, [long pause]... tacky." Err, yes, indeed.
Come on menopausal mum - let's have some more comments. I'm glad it's not just me that gets the flushy's (or should it be flushies?). What I want to know is when will it pass? Eash time I get "that time of the month", which is infrequent and generally when I'm on a shopping trip, the flushy's get bad again! Oh to be a man! But then they are menopausal from birth to death I think. My husband swears by a hammer and baler twine - they will repair anything - if they don't the hammer will wreck it totally.

Hey there - I found you thru The Wife in the North blog. Was wondering what your user name is at flickr? I'm Truvy57 (Dorothy) there.
See you 'round the Internet!

p.s. I'm the same age as you, and I'm menopausal too!

Blue tac is good only it looks like a bit of an eyesore. Interesting blog...i'm not menaupausal, just having a mid life crisis, so this is intriguing.
