    I've learned my lesson - never take on Cleaver in the humour stakes...
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Sadly, I know a couple of women who think just that. :( In fact, one of them tells me she's surprised my DH is still around (because I'm childless and sick).

    Christ. Been there actually.

    One of my own freinds said to my OH that he should dump me as I wasnt such a good laugh as when I was well.

    I dont see her anymore ;)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Women...charming bunch ;). I'm not too bothered. In fact, her lot is worse than mine, and none of her 3 kids' the fathers have stayed with her for the kids...so her reasoning is somewhat flawed ;)

    It's a personal opinion, but 21 is too young to be shacking up. I think shacking up should be done when you're much older and finally given up hope that some hapless b4st4rd will actually marry you .... I'm still holding out for a hapless b4st4rd even now.

    Wish I could give you two 'thanks' for this!
    Loved it

    S'pose that's what the 'for richer, for poorer' clause covers at weddings.

    Pre-nups would seem like a wise move, just make sure the signing is videoed so neither party can claim 'duress' in court.

    Unfortunately they are enforceable in the UK.

    Unenforceable even. ;) But I think this might be on the cards to change? :confused:

    I'm looking for the man who doesn't care about taking on another man's children....I might have found him however!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    You've had one date... you shouldn't be thinking about committing to another one for about 5 years.
