Mine is everywhere I see everyone has a Pandora charm bracelet on.
Whilst I own the bow necklace and earrings.. I can't see the appeal in the charms :/ yet apparently they're the best thing according to my best friend.

GAD affects approximately 6.8 million adults or 3.1% of the US population and between 2-5% of the UK population.

From mental health matters Smile

Facebook is great. It's a good way of keeping in touch with lots of friends at once and sharing the things that are important to you. I rarely see anyone sharing photos of their lunch or whatever the smug non Facebook users seem to think is the main purpose of the site. It's what you make of it and a very useful tool for me in myriad ways!

Combi boilers are a crock of shit.
Wasting loads of water whilst you wait for the hot to come through.
Washing hands after going to the loo on cold water because you may as well use the cold tap. Using the hot tap means you've washed your hands before the hot comes through so you have paid to heat eater that will sit in a pipe and go cold!

There’s nothing more dull than people who drone on about house prices and school catchements

Spa days are shit

I beg to differ, the people who tell exactly which road they used to get wherever they are, then ask which road you took and suggest different routes. Makes me want to scream Angry

That people who are obsessed with Ant and Dec really need to grow up/get a life.

Having to formula feed isn’t the end of the world. I’ve read so many threads of MN with women at the end of their tether with bleeding nipples, low supply, exhaustion and poor latches agonising about getting through the next feed. I think breastfeeding rhetoric has gone too far the other way and made a lot of new mums (me included) feel like they’re poisoning their babies by “not trying hard enough” to BF.

Giving birth shouldn’t be about the “experience”. It’s a major medical event and some of the advice I’ve seen on the childbirth board telling OPs to push for the birth they want against sound medical advice and putting their midwives/consultants in a difficult position, is irresponsible.

Ryan Gosling is average looking.

Emma Watson is a terrible actress.

Cot bumpers should be banned.

Nurses are not martyrs, they are people doing a difficult job and yes they've been shafted with regards to terms of employment just like plenty of other workers have.

Sick of seeing memes and quotes on Facebook about how hard nurses have it, plenty of other professions had to get to work in the snow too.

Controlled crying is plain fucking cruel.

It's fine to dress a boy in boy clothes and a girl in girl clothes and it doesn't mean you are stereotyping your child to be a little housewife/chauvinistic pig.

Dogs are ugly and disgusting looking creatures.

M&Ms are a triumph of marketing over quality.

Pringles taste like cardboard.

Cheese tastes like sick.

Boiled eggs smell like (other people's) farts.

-The longterm effects of divorce/separation on children are often downplayed, to make the adults feel better about it.
-Homeopathy is bs.
-I don't like bacon.
-Ppl in the UK are weird about alcohol.
-Laziness is underrated, I think ppl jus like to feel busy and important but a lot of stuff ppl do is basically pointless.
-Mindfulness is a corporate con designed to keep us docile.
-Everyone needs to sleep more and eat more fibre; ppl would be a lot less grouchy if they weren't tired and constipated!

Clothes shops that think women don’t have breasts (I’m looking at you, Zara)

My most unpopular opinion is that anyone who has had a child removed from them and put into the care system for abuse or neglect should have enforced contraception until such time that they can prove they are able to care for another child.

I also firmly believe that a vast number of babies who are poor sleepers are poor sleepers because their parents do not know how to introduce good sleep habits and actually facilitate the problems.

And far too many people own dogs and cats

I think homeopathy works. Ditto acupuncture, aromatherapy, kinesiology - basically what 90% of people class as hippy bs 😄

Unlike a lot of MNetters I don't think that the majority of unhappy relationships (and low sex drive and even mental illness in women) is caused by men not pulling their weight around the house.

Bloody hell this thread is funny. And I thought I was going out on a limb by saying I secretly thought Brexit was exciting. I am positively pedestrian. Keep em coming posters ........

That grammar matters and I judge people by it.
