Louise Redknapp, you should know better!!

Something For The Weekend was on in the background this morning.
The presenters were cooking, and one of them picked up an orange and mentioned they always used to get given one in their stocking.

Louise - a mum of two young boys - said something along the lines of "if I put that in my son's stocking he'd be furious".

Thanks, Louise, for saying a stupid thing on a family prog, when kids are around to hear it

Yes, I thought exactly the same! Although, I think it was one of the guests who said his mum still put one in his stocking and then Louise said that about her sons.

I was really pleased the DC were not listening at the time.

It wouldn't matter to me if my stocking were filled with jewels and treasures - I'd still want a satsuma in the toe...

Its the John Lewis advert that gets me -normally shown on first ad break of x factor when my children are up on a saturday night.

The parents smuggle a giant stuffed horse in the house behind the childrens backs and there is also a lady hiding childrens toys up in the loft! Thanks John Lewis!

Louise Redknapp makes me irrationally angry. I only watched it this morning because the lovely Mr Nicky Wire was on, and wanted to kick the telly after about 10 minutes of her inane witterings.

Furious at an orange?

Anger problem.

???

Panettoinydog and vmcd28 - No, it's the fact she said 'if I put it in', meaning not Santa. She is suggesting that parents fill the stockings

she's such a annoying woman...

Well, yes, you would be annoyed if your parents put anything in your stocking, because that would leave less room for Santa to put stuff in, obviously.

Where is the original presenter? Is she on mat leave or did they replace her?

Jetgirl, I know - I was the original poster!
I was confused at panettoinydog's post...

oh I see!

How many young kids watch Something for the Weekend with any interest whatsoever? None.

I can't watch it for more than 3 minutes at a time due to exteme boredom or extreme irritation due to that blond bloke.

I thought the op was commenting at the spoiled-brattish response of Louise R's son.

Panettoinydog, :)

I don't think many kids actively "watch" it, but my 5yo ds actually likes the cookery segments and would have been paying attention if he'd been in the room at the time! And even if he's not physically watching tv, he takes everything in, esp if they are talking about Xmas!
Final point, from what I gather, kids up to the end of primary school often still believe, so they are defo able to pick up comments like this from the tv.

They can theory pick up the comment but in practice would not be watching Something for the Weekend

I honestly cannot imagine a child who would watch that.

They can in theory

Sorry vmcd28, I didn't scroll back to the top when I put my bit in

As an aside, I find Louise redknapp really irritating, she never seems to properly try the food, just sort of picks at it. Eat something, woman!

Jetgirl, :)
I find her irritating too, and her hair always looks like it needs a good wash. Weird- if I was on tv I'd always have clean hair at the very least.

Panettoinydog, as I said I don't imagine any child "watching" it either, but the points in my previous post still stand!

The Redknapps are probably going to spend all Christmas day on their Wii

A stocking ain't a stocking without a satsuma and a handful of Quality Street hastily grabbed from the tin!

I always thought having an orange/satsuma/clementine (whichever was on offer at the time) was really stupid and got thoroughly fed up of them. One year my mum said she'd miss it out,........and forgot and I did get slightly mad I think
