A Snapshot from The Youthblog household
Arriving home from a meeting with some Swedish Youth workers, my daughter met me by the car. As we strolled towards the front door of Macdonald Towers I saw the sledge leaning against the wall!
"Why?", I asked my daughter, "is the sledge out?"
"Oh," she replied, "because S (youngest son) was sledging down the stairs UNTIL mum found out!"
It sometimes feels like Outnumbered is based on our family, we became even more convinced of this when in this series the parents were talking about having being married EXACTLY the same time as my wife and I, 17 years!

If any of the sciptwriters from outnumbered read the blog, they'll be kicking themselves for not having thought of that one. Maybe you could lend them S for the writing of series 2...

Hahaha! ...all the way from the top and round the corners avoiding the bookcases or just the straight bit at the bottom??!?

KT,
Just the straight bit. If he'd built a berm out of books to carve the corner he would be in SOOOOOOOO much more trouble :-)

Suddy,
Good to hear from you, I'm glad others are seeing themselves in the programme. That is an impressive list of coincidences.
Shalom
