William Sinclair I know what you mean! We had a friends' 18-year-old daughter move in with us after she fell out with her mother. She wasn't working and couldn't afford to pay her way but she was in desperate need with nowhere else to go and we have known her since the day she...

Well, he might be! Why? Because our grandson, Rory (8), has devised a cunning plan to catch Santa in the act. He has set up his mobile phone in the lounge and has trained it on the seat which, for the past few years, has been...

William Sinclair @DaddyEvil He has a couple of years yet. His sister, who has just turned 13, has only recently realised that Santa isn't real - possibly because she is now at High School where, as you say, other kids would have explained to her about the non-existence of...
