    Finland is a good place to go mind you! :cool:
    The first time I saw northern lights was when I was back on holiday there though, not when I actually lived there!:confused:

    Iceland is even better now that their currency is toilet paper and they're desperate for foreign currency.

    We'll just have to go before ours goes the same way...

    did you lie about piercings, tattoos, lesbianism and your history of prostitution...? not to mention overseas travel!?

    they ask so many prohibitive questions that it's nigh on impossible for a person with any single even slightly deviant lifestyle habit past or present to ever give blood. It's a soapbox favourite of mine!

    What the hell has lesbianism got to do with giving blood?

    Maz i skipped run club and at the moment can understand why DD doesn't want me to leave her with DH.
    He is upstairs bathing her, she doesn't want hairwash, he is shouting at her (which he knows scares her and makes her cry) she is then crying, he's shouting for her to stop, she crys more, he asks why are you crying she says because I like mummy, why do you need to cry if you like mummy, because I don't like you daddy..thanks very much he says.....my life is hell and Im not suprised DD is struggling at the moment. Award for worst parent goes to me hands down

My oldest had all these probs before they gave em a name and as long as we do our best, what else can we do eh! I spent most of his life feeling bad but have decided the best is all we can do.

    I think the honours may go to your DH tonight, not YOU.

    We all beat ourselves up about being bad parents but honestly, lets look at what our parents did to us! lol I have NEVER smacked my childrens bottom like I had mine wholloped as a kid, or shook like a rag doll like mine did to me, and I still love my Mom....


    I have 'kind of' restored balance to my kitchen and also ordered a chinese. DH told me he understands WHY I am stressed but that to get used to it because when he re-wires it will be worse. *bunny now remembers WHY she always wanted to buy new houses*
