    Hey Sally/Maz, do you think its a bloke thing? I think blokes find it more difficult than women to make personal sacrifices especially when it comes to getting off their lazy bums. Or is that just me?

    Red Pesto sounds nice, Im gonna get some this weekend.

    Am I on Fetch?

    Probably, I think it comes down to the fact that 90% of women stay at home or work part time tolook after the children and therefore Men never really get into having to think about someone else before themselves. This really is my major gripe. Things like why do I always have to think about what we are having to eat...wouldn't it be lovely to get home one day and supper tobe cooked without him having to be asked *sigh*

    y'see in big G's defence, he does okay on the doing his fair share of the home stuff/childcare.... it's the doing stuff for fun he has difficulty with, or socialising with us.... (as per the birthday party thing the other week)

    he's actually a very sociable person in his own circle of friends, it's just that i'm not in it!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
