Doctors Addicts Anonymous Continued - ATTEN-SHUN!

[MsNobodyAgain]

This is a thread for all fans of the weekday soap 'Doctors', BBC1, 1.45pm.

Right, now the stalker storyline is out of the way, I think it's time to channel our inner Howard and whip this programme into shape:

1. Every opportunity must be taken to get TBFE in his fishing or army gear and get him all ruffly haired.

1. Heston must stop messing about with restaurant reviews (and that reptilian Emma) and realise his love for Mrs T.

1. Mrs T should wear her flirty wig (see note 2).

1. Zara will continue to master acting purely by moving her eyebrows and saying "really?".

1. The Gobbys will appear in as many episodes as possible to add comedy value.

So line up troops and let's march into the world of WTF!

Everyone is welcome, newbies, regulars and even cast members (arf).

Lock your door MsN and hunker down ( hope you've a stash of chocolate in there with you! ).

Are you still alive, MsN??

Can't you just change the password rather than turning it off? (n.b. I have no idea how this is actually done)

I don't know about setting a password. I DO know I have just plugged the router back in. It was sad face city without it. Unbearable.

Well, at least they dusted their rooms and hoovered.

So glad they haven't tied you up and tortured you, MsN.

I am quite worried about online gaming with dss. He can connect to our wifi on his tablet but I periodically make his tablet forget it so he has to ask for it and I know roughly what he's doing. He doesn't spend loads of time on it as we tend to do more family stuff when he's here.

I rarely read the spoilers but I don't think it's made much difference on the weeks I have.

Children dusting and hovering! I need to start training mine more.

I have said there will be no computer games Mon-Thu so that any homework gets done. I'm waiting for the complaining to start tomorrow evening.

I'd like a hovering child, Hoggy. Would save a fortune in shoes.

first weekend back at school and 3 hours- that's 3 HOURS- of ds crying about his homework. I have lost the will to live and become screamy parent, I'm afraid. It's not that he's not perfectly capable, just lazy. And he wants someone else to do it for him. He has just started year 6, is apparently headed for level 6 sats papers- and all I get is tears. I hate fucking homework. . It's not even difficult, he just doesn't want to do it.

I read the spoilers every week. They don't tell you anything- and are written in such a way, the episode bears no resemblance to whatever it is they are supposed to spoil.

The only time spoilers live up to their name is when I look up who was booted off Strictly, the night before the 'fake' results show

I thought last night's Strictly was live until my DS said it wasn't. Good job cos I then had to go & pick DH up during it-I got in the car & Terry Wogan was introducing Erin Boag & Anton Du Bek live (dancing on the radio)

Brucie is getting doddery & has to keep looking at his notes-perhaps it'll be his last year compering & Anton can take on the job.

Raahh I am so with you on the homework. Oh yes.

I'm convinced Anton is usually given an Early leaver so he can take over if Bruce drops dead mid series.

I lolled at that comment Ooda

Anne - you are so right!

Ooda, even.

ffs. all the homework angst has fried my brain.

You're probably right AlphaBetaOoda but its a bit

Don't even mention homework! Ds1 is only 6 and I've spent a total of 3 hours this weekend too :(

Damn, Raahh, I thought someone was appreciating my hovering joke!

I do have hovering children - hovering asking when dinner is ready because they are always STARVING.

We also have the joys of yr6. I don't care what homework is as long as I never have to create a scene in a shoe box ever again.

Sorry Anne..
But yes, the joke was funny

Do they still do that hoggy ? I remember making a cave scene in year 4 ! Oh the things to looks forward to (mine is 12 weeks old)

Yes Curly. We have made a rainforest (in a shoe box), a pirate scene (in a shoe box) ... and then there are the theme days, Roman day, Greek day, Medieval day. The outfit made out of an old sheet comes out for most of them. My crown for Medieval day was a great success but DS refused to wear my Roman soldier helmet because it looked like a chef's hat. (do not under any circumstances google roman soldier helmet as there is a very rude definition on urban dictionary).

Did I mention this was my children's homework

Going into Years 3 and 5 here. No homework yet, but I am dreading it. I suspect this is going to be the year where DS (Yr 5) starts to really struggle, the signs were there at the end of last year (he has Asperger's).

Re Strictly - I was pleased to see Mr Arrogant James Jordan being paired with a no-hoper.

Dd1 has just started yr9 & GCSEs so I think she's going to get a shock re homework this year.
Dd2 is yr 7 & ditto.
Dreading the little ones & primary homework again. And the horror of book day all over again.

Oh don't talk to me about book day. People get very defensive about book day- but where's the logic? it doesn't encourage reading, just competitive costume making. I'd rather spend money on a book than a shit costume. Bu And disney costumes, or re-using Hallowe'en ones, is NOT GOOD ENOUGH and lazy parenting, apparently. We should all be ever so handy, and whip up a costume out of all the stuff we happen to have lying around

Plus the school usually gives days notice about whether they are going to get involved.

Hoggy-that is exactly my problem with 'homework' -if they can't do it themselves, then it isn't their homework. DD1 isn't too bad,and last year was very good at doing stuff off her own back,usually un-prompted. Ds has always been a problem- if it's not maths or ICT, he isn't interested. I also hate 'look up on the internet' homework- with no websites offered. I'm savvy enough to know most of Wikipedia is shit, and to ignore sites in 'American English' - but a a 10 year old? And our library has about 6 books in it's non-fiction section.

Apologies, I have raging PMT. I'll be crying soon

I think I've been on MN too long.

And Who- me too, re-James. His face was a picture

pmsl @ 'Roman soldier helmet'

But ^here on MN' that should be. My pc ate my rant, Miss.
