elmo i am abit previous when i call her a teenager as she not quite twelve yet but acts like a teenager!! and you right she is scary!!!

Oh i know exactly what you mean by her acting like a teenager Ds has had the attitude of a teenager since he turned 10yrs old . LOL

its frustrating and funny all at the same time!!! at least you wont have to search the abbiss (her room) for your makeup!!!

I can't believe your DS is almost a teen Elmo!

We have been buddies for awhile, haven't we?

Welcome JammyDodger ! I haven't done much this weekend. I just found I have to go into work until the manager gets there (this is my second job at the cinema) because the two sixteen year old who are working today are a couple and we have to make sure they get their work done instead of sneaking out to snog in the back room.

aw bless them!! aw to be sixteen again although pants you have to go into work! has everyone gone to watch DOI?

I know...honestly at 16 I would have reveled at being alone at work with a cute boy. How did I become, instead, the old lady who comes to ruin everyone's fun?! Ah, time does go by, doesn't it?

What's DOI?

tell me!! i dont feel older that 30 but driving licence says different!! im sure you dont ruin everyones fun though just protecting their jobs (oh god old lady coming in again)and i bet you look out for them?

I'm NOT even 30 (til this spring anyway ) but to a fifteen year old I'm ancient!

I know, I do actually love them and try to look out for them and discuss relationship-y things with them. It leads to some awkward moments, but I want them to know that there's an adult they can talk to.

Ah, I have found you all! <strokes shiny new thread>

Welcome Jammy! And hello HE/Wisdom, hope you are well!

Mmm...scones...thanks Elmo...good thing they're virtual ones!

<waves to Tiredmum & Cheerful>
<stands on bench to look for Valium>

omg your an adult at nearly thirty? i still havent got there and just done 40, the nice thing is they can talk to you and i bet you dont feel nearly thirty I dont feel any different from 25!!!

hello gomummygo!! I have just poured for you to go with scones, never tried it before but always looking for new tastes!! how was your weekend?

Thanks Jammy, I shall save mine for a bit, only early afternoon here! Lots of DIY and snow shoveling this weekend, exciting I know.

Oh dear, I was definitely an adult at 16, sadly so. But I distinctly remember telling DH that I didn't feel any older when I turned 30 than I had at 16! <oddball>

save for later, i re-felted a roof yesterday (shed) and in the last hour mopped a tidal wave (loosely know as the bathroom) waded through mountains (my dd1 room) and dispatched troops to the outerhemisphere (livingroom with dh) for DOI!!) so having mine now, i would love to have been snow shovelling sad but i love it, used to live in the far right hand corner of scotland and when it snowed it SNOWED!
my mum told me she never felt old perhaps its the dc that keeps us feeling young, although dad dancing has to be banned!
