I'm here! Had to wait until this morning to reclaim the laptop, as both DSs are obviously still in bed. That's the trouble with half term...they grab it while I'm at work and then I can't get my hands on it!
Fantasy Very irresponsible to tell a young girl with a perfectly healthy body shape/size that they're obese! No wonder so many kids these days have issues with their weight if even the professionals are contributing to it.
Chocolate I'll never understand why people feel the need to take their problems out on staff in shops, but there are threads full of anecdotes on here...I suspect it makes them feel better to pick on people who they feel can't answer back. Hope your DD is okay.
Marmite Happy birthday for yesterday, hope you had an enjoyable day.
Feel like I've missed loads with all the chat about garages, worms etc...I am already stressing about who is going to catch the spiders when DS1 goes to uni...he's my chief spider catcher when DH is at work, as they always seem to come out when he's on a night shift and unable to pop back.
Re bank of Mum & Dad, my parents still occasionally help us out, even though we can stand on our own two feet really. They lent us some money to buy a car which we paid back over the following year, and have recently done the same so we could buy a caravan, again to be repaid over the year, so it's more helping with cashflow rather than just giving us money.
