KIMItheThreadSlayer · 30/09/2009 10:48

......as clearly all my friends are pedophiles and axe murderers according to the government and unless I pay to get them all vetted by the nanny state I will soon be breaking the law to ask my friend to pick DS2 up from school the one day a week I go to take my disabled mother out.
I shall give DS2 a key and tell him to walk home alone across 2 main roads, (better get him a reflective vest as dark nights are coming) and when he get in I shall tell him to cook the dinner and sweep the chimney!!!!!!

[DISCLAIMER PLEASE NOTE I HAVE NO SUCH INTENTION I AM JUST FED UP WITH THE WHOLE NANNY STATE]

I think you're being way too careless letting him INTO the house. Anything could happen. The building could spontaneously combust. The hamster could turn feral and attack him.

Obviously he would be safer hanging out in the local shopping mall. Or on a corner in the park.

Or perhaps just let him sit in the garden in the dark.

TheLadyEvenstar · 05/10/2009 15:29

with a bottle of cider or wkd?

abra1d · 05/10/2009 15:44

Well OBVIOUSLY. Poor little fellow might be thirsty. Perhaps leave him some drugs, too, in case he gets scared.

Monsterspam · 05/10/2009 15:50

Lol!

HowlingAtTheMoon · 05/10/2009 15:53

HowlingAtTheMoon · 05/10/2009 16:10

What a lovely welcome and I've bought a new camera.

Has Kimi been back to see the rubble?

Monsterspam · 05/10/2009 16:11
