You put in advance requests for Jammie Dodgers? 🤣🤣🤣

Hell of a hook, and no worries, man, I've also broken a toilet seat or two, happens to the best of us.

Even though I was (obviously) not there, I can confirm that you definitely did NOT drink too many of those overpriced IPAs in trendy cans.

Haha. Absolutely. Louise takes the lead with the "big shop" order so I have to make any special requests - Jammie Dodgers are my kryptonite.

Thanks for reading, man!

When I was a kid, we used to have a plate-glass door at the foot of the stairs. Me playing The Fall Guy by launching myself *down* the stairs probably aged my parents by ten years.

😂 😂 Excellent. Glad you survived to tell the tale.

"My life has been reduced to picking him up from the bottom step, moving him somewhere else, then jogging after him as he immediately toddles back over, giggling"

- My life with a 17mo at the moment, which, at nearly 8 months pregnant, is as fun as you can imagine!

Oh jeez… that must be so tough. Good luck and remember this too shall pass!

All the best with the pregnancy too, Ren 😊

Ah kids eh?! Dontcha just love 'em? Of course we do otherwise the infant mortality rates would have returned to medieval levels. Another very funny and self-deprecating chapter Andy. For some reason I never imagined you to be 'up north in that beautiful part of Yorkshire - I'd pictured you in a leafy London suburb. But I am relatively new to your writing ...

Haha. Exactly. The boys are 6 and 8 now so things are much easier - we're in the golden age now, I think.

Yes, I'm very much from Leeds and have spent the vast majority of my life here. We are planning a trip to London to watch the Paddington Musical, though!

Thanks for reading, Andy - glad to hear you enjoyed it!
