Hi Rachel Harrington. Do you have any pets? Am just trying out a gentle ice breaker. Not to be confused with ice beaker or penis beaker (although you could substitute with a nice LSA vase instead of something green and plastic). You should familiarise yourself with the latter if new to MN. May I also take this opportunity to forewarn you about Brian from Hull! His intentions are not always innocent, despite his altruistic claims. Many mumsnetters very nearly fell for his charms.
