My job forbids me from condoning drinking whilst pregnant so il breeze over that Hmm

I think painting our rock is supposed to be a felicitous attack, but I don't understand the reference Confused so I think we're okay!

My favourite posts to lurk on are here ones, there's one currently, where people moan about they're £10,000 a term schools....I just sit there thinking, fuck it love, mines free and I've got very few complaints!

Those are the ones where I feel like I'm watching things in a zoo...

I don't know where I fit in.

Come from an average middle class family, have a degree, eat healthily (vegetarian, so lots of veg), love nice wine, love vintage, eat some organic, cloth or eco nappies for my boy, breastfeed 3 year old, babywear, did blw, think mooncups are great & washable pads too.

On the other hand, had my son at 25, am a single mum on benefits, buy all clothes from charity shops and ebay, shop in Lidl. I am skint.

Think I'm probably just a bit of a hippy.

Cbh1978 · 26/11/2012 21:58

What is ham? Is it like pastrami?

Oblomov · 27/11/2012 06:46

Convert , my 4 yr old was singing exactly the same, yesterday. My 2 (8 & 4) love LMFAO, as do I.
