Have only skimmed thru this thread. Just a small point: older kids can read and might well be reading threads over mum's shoulder (mine do!) so I appreciate it when people use either abbreviations (ffs, etc) or asterisks. This might sound prudish but I have never sworn in front of my kids and none of their grandparents swear and I like it that way - I hate to hear expletives coming from the mouths of little children. Actually, excessive use of expletives is annoying coming from anyone's mouth - it's just unimaginative and lazy and can be offensive.

ROFL @ Spadger & Ladygarden (actually think that ones quite sweet)

Isn;t that what "mrs Brown" referred to hers as whilst shagging the gardener
