Hey pollypoo welcome! I also have a DC. He's 5 (just) and we're trying for #2. So I'm presumably not as barren as some here but I am starting to think I may be. But that's fine (honestly, really, it is, no really).
Well you're a chatty lot. I leave you for just one day (went on sales calls today) and I've got about an hour of reading to get through. And violence. Cool.
ski - seriousness warning. I was never one of the "in crowd" either at school and it's a to me that at our age it's mentioned here that the catty lot at school were utter bitches, made our lives miz and we don't want to go through that here in MN. Meaning, I thought I was the only one who still felt miffed (that's British understatement) about Stuff From School. In my fecking 30s FFS.
So, as it's not just me (phew) I would like to say that it's an immense pleasure to NOT have to spend any time with those utter witches and instead spend time here with you, and the other lovely hags, and when you come across idiots in other forums, Just Walk Away (and back in here). I guess it's a bit like road rage - where being physically separate from the person you're being aggressive to means that the usual boundaries are dropped.
I would take great pleasure debating politics or whatever you want to and would never take any of your beliefs personally, or attack them personally. I would no doubt agree with you on lots of things, and disagree on others, and enjoy the whole experience. I'm not suggesting we do, just that there are people out there like me who would have that conversation in a grown up way, respectfully and with the intention of enjoying it AND having the intellectual challenge of the interaction.
OK enough of being serious. Go piss on a stick.
Meeting up girls - v excited to hear about it but a bit worried world WILL end.
hawaiian I think it's supposed to be a wet (not frozen) haddock
