    Thanks Sammy.

    Tbh, I loved sucking my finger (and for those of you in the know-I still love my you-know-what ;)) and am quite happy for my kids to suck their thumbs-it comforts them and I love my thing that shall not be mentioned and cannot sleep without it! It makes me feel safe. We can all think of things other parents would never do ie. I don't give my kids 'fizzy pop' but lots of parents do, I think if on a whole kids are well mannered, well behaved and happy, it speaks much more for your parenting skilss then the 'I never would/did's' if that makes sense?

    I was a bit narked last week, sometimes chloe takes her breakfast to nannies aka childminder and when I made her weetabix she said she wanted sugar on her weetabix cos thats what nanny does...:eek: we don't even keep sugar (evil stuff) in the house!

    I would like to thank the idiot Chancellor for doing precisely NOTHING for the middle-aged, hard-working, not-old-enough-for-a-pension, kids-out-of-school people.........AGAIN. Cheers:beer: (+2%), I thank Mr Darling from the heart of my bottom.

    me also - absolutely nothing for the not quite thinking about middle aged _pale_, hard working, not married, only paid 12 months into a pension, no kids sector of society :rolleyes: As normal.

    well, I am sick of constantly pulling me trousers up and showing the bum crack off to people. I threw the trousers into the trolley without trying them on as motivation for the last few pounds and was mega shocked when they fit.....
