Manners

[Bobbins]

I met the woman that wrote the manners book today - she was being interviewed in our studio. The books called 'Yes, please. Thanks.' I told her all about Mumsnet. Just been having a flick through the book. Seems sound to me.

But, where's my manners? Haven't posted for yonks, hope you are all fab and feisty as always. x

Sorry - the author's name is Penny Palmano.

Perhaps too many excalmation marks and emboldened bits though - no need.

ex-calm-ation!!!!

I need to start a new thread to vent about my current state of calm calamity

tomorrow

Hi Bobbins! It has been too long since you last posted and it is nice to see you back. How are things with you (and the toy boy!)?

BOBBINS! Start that thread, we all need an update. Sorry to hear it may be vent-y in places, have been hoping life is treating you especially well. It's great to hear you are still around. Welcome back!

Hi Bobbins, how lovely to hear from you! How's things?

Lovely to have you back. How are things?

Welcome back bobbins

Hello, Bobbins!

hello Bobbins

I thought about you recently bobbins, nice to see you!

The manners book is your standard 'kids have to have boundaries' tome. From what I've read, and from the author I met, it's just sound advice, loads of the usual stuff. It's very readable though, not too dogmatic.

The first thing I asked her was whether the putting your knife and fork together when you are done with eating was an international thing. Didn't get a satisfactory answer reallly, but she was a lovely woman.

bobbins! hello!!
