Evening all :) You've all been very chatty over the weekend! I didn't make it on yesterday as we had a busy day, and today has been the same. Yesterday I made some butterfly biscuits, i've shared a picture on facebook because pr made me and i'm actually a little bit chuffed with them to be fair, i think they look alright! aaaand I got a bargain (vq springs to mind but I know there are other bargain hunters) on a facebook sale site, well I think it's a bagrain, a nice solid table and four nice solid chairs in near perfect condition, I can't find any marks etc and t'was £150. Pretty sure it'd be considerably more but i'm really pleased with it :) Anyway...
Thankyou all again for being so supportive of me, it's so nice of you all to be so understanding, and once again i'm very thankful for the quiche 
, I wouldn't have had anyone else to tell and so it's nice to be able to tell you all something like this and have it taken seriously and understood :)
It's been raining today here too and I spent a good couple of hours out in it blocking up holes in the hedge and fence to stop my bloody bastarding dogs from taking themselves out for a wander every sodding time I open the back door
msjj I am another write-a-post-then-delete person. Though not so much now, I used to do it ALL the time, but i'm much better now :) Please do post when you can, love hearing from you :) Sounds like a lovely holiday that you had

Glad you all enjoyed your haggis meet :) E would've been running around too, mind you so would my baby sister!
I'm finding the gender discussions very interesting. I try not to stereotype and I like to think i treat e the same as i'd treat a dd if i were to have one. I think it's not just girls that need to be taught they can say no, but boys too. I think what i'm trying to say is that I just aim for equality and choice, and I agree with what vq said.
E has always had access to dolls/pink things if he wants them as my little sister has them and he has some of his own. E and my sister (also an e, which is why i say my sister) are very close in age and since we've only moved out about 2 months ago they shared and still do share everything, both are allowed to play freely with each others toys, she sometimes borrows his cars and he usually wears her slides for example. Always out of choice. Is it bad that to be honest I hadn't really ever thought twice about it? Interestingly I have never steered him towards any of the things he loves, I have always tried to make sure I let him express himself as he wishes. As it is he is obsessed with vehicles, literally obsessed, particularly at the minute with trains. He also loves dinosaurs (dindindoors). He adores animals, and babies. If we are out and we see a baby, he wants to go and give it a cuddle. He has a squigglet teddy that he puts in his pink pushchair (when the wooden train is not in it) and takes it for a ride. He also brum brums cars around. So does my sister. I think what i'm trying to say here is that I find it intersting that given all the choices he is given e still likes 'boys toys' usually.
Very much with you on the nursery situation pr I can't understand why dd1 should have to give/accept cuddles? My younger siblings are constantly picking E up or kissing him and I think it's lovely that they're so sweet with him BUT when he's pushing them away and squealing I tell them quite firmly that he doesn't want the attention. He is a very loving little boy and is perfectly capable of giving kisses and cuddles when he sees fit. Anyway I find that the hugs and kisses e chooses to give me are worth ten times more than those I ask for. It makes me go all wibbly and warm (ha, i am always wibbly) when he comes and puts his head on my knee, or wraps his pudgy little arms around me and taps the back of my neck lightly with his little fingers.
I had barbies. Quite liked them too. Rather barbies than bratz that's for sure!
glad the cat came back pr
awww bless ageing pussy pass So glad she's on the mend now though :)
Glad you enjoyed your date lily
LOVE the spice racks yw
All the feminist talk has had me reading up on feminism. I have to admit I thought only females could be feminists. The rest of it I got, though. I haven't given it much thought really, but I definitely do believe in equality, I know that much.
Also quite like dolly parton
vq I would go and try some on, and see which one you feel most comfortable in?
oh no bp sorry to hear F isn't right again, hope she's on the mend soon!
sounds like a fab day yw
His loss chasing most definitely!
