I think it’s terrible that it is so hard to get anything fixed these days.
It’s almost impossible to get shoes repaired because, unless you buy very expensive shoes with leather soles, they all have moulded heels and soles which means they have to be thrown away when they are worn.
The same with lots of electrical appliances, if your microwave breaks down there is no-one to fix it or if there is it will cost you more than buying a new one which is a shocking waste of resources; all that metal, plastic etc to say nothing of the energy needed to produce these goods.
What can we do to stop choking up our landfill sites?

My dad is of the "make do and mend" generation and it drives me mental, I chuck it out if its broken!

I have recently said sorry to my mum for causing her and my late father such anguish when i was a teenager ( I am 54 now!) and it just sort of came up in natural conversation....I know I was absolutely ghastly between the ages of 16 and 17 though somehow I managed to escape this when my own children were teenagers so maybe I learnt something from my own experience.
I think it is always good to say sorry even if it IS years later
Who would you like to say sorry to and why?

my mum for all the horrible things i have done and said in the past.

Does anyone sit around the dining table/kitchen table to eat any more. I know so many families where a meal is cooked, everyone comes and gets their plates then the kids go upstairs to their rooms with their meals and the parents/adults sit in front of the telly and eat.
I think this is so bad for communication between families. When my 2 grown up kids were young we always sat round the table for meals, especially in the evening and Sunday lunchtime and we talked about all kinds of stuff.
I say lets get back to everyone eating together ( without the telly one!)

I just LOVED the oxo faily, Yes THATS how it should be, wish they would bring the ad back and that i might win an audition
