The Ingham Family #222 Dick head Van Dyke in crappy crappy Van Van

[thegreencow]

Congratulations @YoYo Edited the title to remove the swears.

TLDR
- Mila had her spica cast changed without any difficulty, to her parents' devastation. Chris and Sarah wanted to keep the cast but the surgeon said no. The anaesthetist *allegedly* wiped Chris's creepy eyes when he started crying.
- Isla dressed up for Red Nose Day by drawing a red dot on her nose. She could not make it any more obvious that he wants to go back to school. She's probably too frightened to tell her parents though because she knows they'll flip out.
- Chris is still renovating the van. There is a new addition of a roof deck this time, which is super safe with a 3 year old up there... not! The trip is in less than two weeks.
- Sarah has been told she has perfect vision, although it's not perfect because she has a slight prescription in one eye.
- Chris keeps saying he's on a Special K diet but he also seems to keep abandoning it for chocolate cookies.
- Sarah said she's obsessed with minimalism. I doubt she even knows what the word means because her house does not scream minimalism.
- Chris is trying to make the vlogs shorter but says there is too much good footage.
- Chris, Isabelle and Isla have all been unwell this week. Uncharacteristically for Sarah, she told Isla she was getting the camera "out of your face". Tattle continue to think Social Services are keeping a close eye and this could be an attempt to stay in their good books.
- Sarah revealed they have got a sponsorship with Go Outdoors. She took Esme and Isla to one of the stores to buy shoes they could barely afford with what they're currently earning.
- Isabelle is still revising for GCSEs that will never be taken. I have a theory that when if Isabelle doesn't take the exams or gets poor results then social services will force the other kids to go back to school in September. Here's hoping...

2017 vs 2022

Hi Steve Will you be going on the roadtrip as well? I'm sure the roof deck can double up as a cosy bedroom for you.

Sorry if it’s already been posted but looks like Mila may finally have a specialised seat to help sit her upright in their living room now? Bib on when feeding & making a point of filming wiping down her chair afterwards - I wonder if they’ve been pulled up on the filth that was caked onto her cast?

Expectation vs. reality

Surprised Chris didn't push for the piano coming from such a musical background

Well done on the new thread @YoYo

Interesting that when he is 'being someone else', he often writes in all lower case, never using capital letters (bar the odd one). He has done that here and Dan wasn't a fan of capital letters either. I can think of at least another two accounts (that I strongly suspected were him) where all lower case was used.

That cheap log burner propped up on slate tiles with carpet under them oh my giddy aunt. What can possibly go wrong? Is the next debate ‘is it a real skate hearth or tiles. This could pan on past next Christmas. I noticed there is no register plate in the chimney and suspect the flue hasn’t got a cowl. Just dreading what might come down Creepy’s pipe.

So Isabelle’s room is ‘haunted’ yet they constantly tell us how Isabelle is never out of her room.
How tit does the rest of the house have to be for her to choose to spend all her time in a haunted room?

 

[Gossngiggles]

I haven’t watched their vlog (no views from me!) but I really hope they used a professional to install their fire. There is a reason it costs a lot of money to get things like this properly installed, it’s a skill and it needs to be done safely. I hope they aren’t that stupid.

- Isabelle is still revising for GCSEs that will never be taken. I have a theory that when if Isabelle doesn't take the exams or gets poor results then social services will force the other kids to go back to school in September. Here's hoping...

This wouldn’t be the case. GCSEs are not compulsory and the LEA rightly treat each child as an individual. Let’s face is plenty of children in school don’t sit their exams or get terrible results for many reasons. Not sticking up for them or making a dig, just stating facts.

I home ed and am a big advocate for it but even I believe that Isla in particular would massively benefit from attending school. She isn’t happy or thriving at home and they are not providing her with any social or educational opportunities. For example my kids have been out today with friends, then they had a sports club and are now on their way home from another social activity. That’s one day. In the last week we have visited two historical sites, 2 museums and an art gallery. That is home education.

Think lazy said one of the Ifam messaged her as they had a chair, lazy didn’t bother trying to find one, I mean why would she if it’s not for her

Creasing - he looks like Tubbs from League of Gentlemen here

 

[Cockleshell Bay]

That will help with Isla not wanting to sleep on her own, nothing like a haunted house to give you a good nights sleep….

No way I had just cropped this

 

[Mostyn]

I hope they’ve fitted a carbon monoxide monitor in the room where that wood burner is

 

[Ziggzaggz]

Loving the title!!!

 

[Ruby2233]

The only ghost to appear shortly in that house will be the spirit of their dead channel

Has she ever heard of a bib ???
That’s bloody disgusting. The food is caked into the high chair straps. Absolute Scruffs

Bloody love Tubbs and Edward. "Are you local"

 

[Charmball]

Yep. I did

 

[Kstep]

Sorry but I thunk at least 1 person in each household has had covid now its crazy at the moment and these are people that are also very safe so there's no way these twats haven't had it and I honestly think they all do now yet still here there and everywhere including the hospital many shopping trips and I'm sure if the playgroup is really lazy will go spread it around there

Also you can tell by his soot hands he installed the burner and what's the point of the decking if too hard for lazy to get up?

 

[Kate1970]

Sarah now sounding rough as! Chris trying to sooth his throat with cups of coffee! He'll be whizzing! Not ill enough to climb up onto the van though eh!

ISABELLES BEDROOM IS HAUNTED!!

What by a gnome in a beanie sneaking into her room at midnight?

Lazy gives Mila some toast and tells her she's not bashing it into her new cast. She doesn't want to eat it. Creepy covers her cast up and Lazy says it's a good idea. She feeds Mila and calls her a lazy girl because she won't take the toast. Weeeeeeeell I suppose she DOES have your genes Lazy. Mila takes the toast.

Lazy asks Babe if he's excited for today. He says he is but his throat is ruined. He's drinking 20 coffees a day to soothe it. He has a numbing spray from the pharmacy but it only lasts 15 minutes. The toast isn't going down well so Creepy is making Mila weetabic. Lazy got Mila some links off Amazon because she loves them at playgroup. Mila throws them on the floor. Lazy feeds her the weetabic. Mila doesn't like banana weetabic but it's tough luck because it's the only one they have in today. Hopefully she REALLY doesn't like it and projectile vomits it into the face of one (or preferably both) of her parents. Lazy cleans Mila's high chair whilst Jace sprays cleaning spray onto it.

Day 2 of the decking project on the roof. Creepy is finishing the finale. He is trying to sink into oblivion of tonsillitis so he's talking quietly. He tried to film this outside but there's a hurricane. He will probably get blown off the roof installing it. It's a 52" LED light bar to complete the van. They have rhino rim wheels, a roof deck and ladders. Hopefully Lazy will get up there too later but it's too windy right now and they'll be blown off. Or maybe not, I think mother nature will have a job shifting those two off the van roof now they're both 6 stone heavier than 4 years ago. The log burner is being installed right now.

Creepy climbs up the ladder. It's time to get Lazy onto the roof. He says she's so beautiful that he can't even deal but then I realise he's taking about the roof deck, not his bride. There are two seconds of light left. Lazy asks if the ladder is solid. She hauls herself up and Creepy reassures her that the ladder is screwed in. Lazy struggles to get up and eventually heads down without getting on the roof. Lazy turns the light on. The background is blurred.

Lazy is in the living room with the log burner, which is still sat on top of the carpet. She sets it up by putting wood into a basket. Jace puts the logs inside the burner. Lazy tells him they don't touch fire. He says they can touch the glass and Lazy says he can but not when it's on because the glass will be hot. Does she not understand that the thing will have to have a period of time to cool down because the glass will get hot too. Does she even have any clue hot hot fire gets? She says they must never ever touch it anymore. Lazy isn't 100% happy with the work that's been done. Creepy didn't notice that there are big gaps between the stone so the men are coming back to fix it tomorrow. One stone is higher than the other and there is still carpet that needs cutting. They have a sleeper to go above the burner and will install it when they know what they're doing with the rest of the wall.

Lazy's favourite purchase from today is a book called My War Diary. She found it in the charity shop. It's the "cutest" World War 2 book for Isla's birthday and it's "so cute". It's an actual diary and "cute". Lazy loves it so much and "it's the cutest thing ever". I know the diary is fictional but flipping heck, millions of people never came home from that war, the Nazis massacred millions of people, entire towns were obliterated (one of which I will soon be visiting) and lives were ruined. That's far from my definition of cute.

Creepy lights the log burner and Jace watches it. He says they need to spray it out like Fireman Sam. Creepy says he'll close the door because it gets very hot. Lazy reminds Jace not to touch the door. Shots of the fire.

Lazy says Mila enjoyed dinner. Creepy is bisseling. Mila tries to throw the tray on the floor. Dinner was tuna pasta. She has a tea towel over her legs because the bibs are in the wash. All Lazy can think about is the piano in the charity shop. She wanted to by it but she doesn't now enough about pianos. All the keys worked and Lazy wishes she'd bought it. The colour wasn't for them but Lazy could sand it down paint it white and put pink swirly stickers on it. Isabelle says she's tacking it up. Isabelle has moved her whole room around. Lazy wants a grand piano. It was £45 and Esme says she bets it was haunted.

Isabelle remembers how she stepped out of a circle on a tour in Edinburgh. They walked into a room and they went cold. The lady told them that people who stepped into the circle received poltergeist activity. She asked if anyone wanted to step in it but no one did except Isabelle, who jumped in it. Lazy dragged her out. Isabelle was so embarrassed and says that's why her room is cold all the time. Jace says he loves Isla.

End of vlog.

So after touching potentially dangerous cleaning chemicals, Jace is allowed to put his fingers in his mouth??

The log burner could get to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

If looks could kill... She hates that van!
