Hello ladies, nice to see you all sounding pretty happy.
Sorry about your parents SCL, it's probably the most complicated relationship to deal with. They can make you feel so guilty about something, or like you're 5 again and it's so easy to feel out of control and on the back foot when talking to them 
I found that moving the other end of the country helped, but I was in a very different position to you in that my parents are divorced, so I always had the fall back argument that their lives weren't perfect either, if they critisised too much
They both [mostly] accept who I am now.
I saw the photos of you at Ascot, sponge- you look amazing, you must be really proud of yourself.
And while we're on teh subject of photos, your profile pic on FB is gorgeous too, monty!
i'll keep my fingers crossed about the course and the Rainbows, aurora.
I remember holiday man too, Ninah, he was always a little bit flakey, wasn't he?
Well, I have nothing to report, I cannot face internet dating, my profile is mostly hidden, I have reactivated it once or twice, but it just makes me depressed! I need to get out and do more socialising otherwise I will never meet anyone... It has been 18 months since I last had sex!
I think I've been dead from the waist down for a long time, but I'm starting to miss it now
