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.

There are a large number of children who have developed a love of overeating and an inability to control their appetite. They go to any length to obtain food. When they become overweight it's frequently not the parents' fault. They need emotional support, not healthy eating advice.

This thread has ended up like every other one like this has: many of the posts are no longer just controversial, they are very offensive.

I think its wierd to fancy Tom Hardy because he always plays thugs and seems nasty & angry in RL too

That everything that LillyputLane says on her last comment is correct.

Sorry, not opinions, but-
'I was sat there' instead of 'I was sitting there'
The 'floor' instead of the 'ground'
Saying women are ladies in the supermarket as in 'mind the lady' to the toddler
Pouring milk into a mug before the tea
Stupid branding like 'Yorkshire Tea' - its not grown there, that I am aware of

Ok here goes. Children under the age of 5 are happier at home with a parent than in nursery or with a childminder.
I expect to be shouted at but believe careers can wait but you'll never get that time back again. Unless work is necessary to put food on the table and not for holidays and a bigger house

Penguins are scary fuckers who give the appearance of knowing far more than they should.....

The majority don’t know best. While democracy is the best we’ve got, a meritocratic system that encourages social mobility and places greater value on intelligence would be better.

SpringHen · 24/03/2018 19:41

I dont believe there is any benefit to attending nursery or preschool unless the child is being borderline neglected at home

Moussemoose · 24/03/2018 19:44

@SpringHen YES - crying doesn't make you right or a victim. It makes you soft.

A university degree isnt "just a piece of paper"
"University of life" is a bullshit phrase, you have exactly the same amount of life experience as everyone else your age.

Being a mother is not "the hardest job on earth"

Alcohol tastes horrible.
Some children are not very clever, some are gifted, most are average. Intelligence is down to luck. .being intelligent does not make you a better person.

I do not wish to have a conversation with Tom Hardy.
I do not want a sustained relationship with Tom Hardy.
I do not want to marry Tom Hardy.
I do not wish for Tom Hardy to father any children for me.
I would quite like to look at him for a while, then have him for breakfast.
I do not therefore see how his personality, perceived or real Hmm should come into this...

Forevertired19 · 24/03/2018 19:46

@springhen apparently he's vile in real life.
Shame for such a beautiful man.

Brexit - think it's exciting
Ed Shereen - dull busker
EastEnders - dreary
Young Royals - dreary

SpringHen · 24/03/2018 19:48

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom because he comes across as rough and violent. That eliminates him as a desirable sexual partner for me so Im surprised that fancying him is common and not just niche/fetish

Forevertired19 · 24/03/2018 19:49

Dull busker 😂
My brother years ago managed to see him for £5 a ticket and said that was the only price he would ever pay. Still, good for him being successful. I don't doubt Ed sheeran is very very talented. But it's all so boring.

Christmas pudding and lamb are disgusting.🤢
Summer sucks: heat, sweat, flies, horrid clothes, too long days= kids that won't sleep, men in flip flops. No no noooooo... .😣😣😣😣😣
Pools and hot tubs are horrid too. Like sharing a bath with a bunch of strangers. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Board games and card games are boring. They just are...😞
I realise I am HORRIBLE company for a summer holiday! 😂

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 24/03/2018 19:56

Spring because he's clearly fit as fuck, it's really not that hard to understand.
I also tend to not judge a personality on perception or hearsay.
I don't get the Benedict Cumerbatch thing but there you go.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 24/03/2018 19:58

YY to hot tubs, just bleurgh Envy ⬅ not envy.

That people who choose to live in the absolute middle of nowhere have no right to complain when the snow cuts them off or the ambulance can’t reach them.
