Continuing on from here

It's the best bit Shop but not before you're 18!!!!!!

Well done dry! I think having parents that can speak openly and honestly about sex really makes a difference to how a teenager deals with all of it.

dry if i asked my mum what an orgasm was i think she would have fainted! and i agree with your dd,you are a fab mum for talking to her so openly.

If it goes the other way, I once had my Mum asking me what Brazilian waxes and Rampant Rabbits were. I was pretty much face

Dry... What's an erection?
Well done you though

Novice, so scary.
I keep antihistamines at home just incase, as I'm allergic to random things, so are the boys.

omg! one i would have , ,

Go on Santa I've just shared my super trashed (I think I'm fab when I'm off my face) pics with you. And Dry shared the perm! The only reason I don't mind is because I feel as though we all know each other now! I want pics of Novice - I bet she looks no older now

ok,i want to hear sex ed the dry way too,

i will shop,just need to go through my photos,im so un high tech!

One poor you!
I was traumatised last year, when my cousin informed me that she'd given my dm 50 shades to read... And that my df had also read it.

I've surprised myself really....I have no problems actually telling them. I think I keep it factual, don't make jokes (one of their teachers in sex ed class opened the class with " we obv won't be doing any practicals".... I wanted to complain, that's pathetic) ....I was brought up by catholic parents and went to a girls convent school DH was v excited about this fact no brothers my knowledge was limited. As a parent your role is to help your kids get through life I think. I love that they can ask me questions . I did choke on my tea when she said "what's a boner?".... Ffs !!!

My MIL asked me what I thought of 50 shades!

We're not in the sex-talk zone yet. Making babies talk yes..

P.s I learnt quickly once I left home

Yes - good point - we haven't talked about clothes for ages...... Well done Marsha. So the scarf from Whistles has arrived, and I'm not sure I love it anymore. More black, and less green than I remember......... what to do.....?

I want to see photos of Sleep's hen do!

Dh is going to get my ancient clubbing photos out of the loft at the weekend for me.
I've told him that Ds2 wants to see Ds1's baby photos, and not that I'm putting photos online for people to laugh at :o
he's not into social networking at all and thinks that it's weird talking to strangers online

Oh I just meant my two are too little to ask direct questions. More the how are babies made stuff.

I felt good when I took back the Sessun. Maybe send it back Shop?

Thank you so much everyone for the support, especially Mig . Dd has had a couple of attacks which we have never really been able to pin down. I know that face paint is bad for her and sun cream other than Toddler Milk by Sunsense is bad for her. I have been researching this everning and have decided to make an appointment with Dr Adam Fox who is a leading consultant paediatric allergist. At least we will know one way or another what's in and what's out because I am not keen to feel the way I did at 4.30pm today ever again! Dh and I both have private GPs provided through our work places so we both try and avoid our normal GP just in case we get this doctor or the other evil cow that's there. The pity of it is the other 5 doctors are just lovely and don't talk down to me or make me feel like a looney tune for daring to bother them.

Dry I take my hat off to you!

My J crew tee's arrived today and they are lovely, but too clingy for me

I think you're right Marsha - more for the Pistol fund

Yes I think things have to be perfect these days. As in I really love this and it's just right. When you've got a full wardrobe, each new thing has to be really great.

Mig your style makes so much more sense to me now I have seen you! :)

marsha does your older dc ask about babies? dss does,he has some colorful stories,

Santa Yes ds1 does, he's 8. Can't remember it all now, but usual things, mostly how do they um get out!

Will try scarf again tomorrow and then send back if not. And you're right Marsha I love everything else I own so much that it's hard if things aren't spot on.
Which reminds me..... which of you lovely ladies liked this navajo cardigan? It's about to be EBayed and I remember someone loved it. Was it you Grumpy?
