Never mind the terrible 2’s. I think in this household it’s officially the terrible 1’s! Little man has been so stroppy lately; pinching, smacking, biting, kicking, headbutting, throwing himself about and stiffening himself up in a tantrum. This is usually when he can’t get his own way.

Skint – episode 4

First thing I said when he appeared was “We know him!”. And we do. He comes around to help the older disabled gentleman who lives upstairs in our block (who also appeared briefly last night – he was shown eating a sandwich at the drop in centre!). He is actually a really nice chap, though he has a drink/tablets problem, I admire him for having his own business and providing for himself. I’m not …
