    anyone else watching Andy Murrays match?

    Yes, on and off......I think he's finding it a lot tougher than he expected for a first rounder.

    Dont forget, if he loses he's Scottish.........if he wins he's British:p

    i think he's allowing his anger to control him at the monment, rather than using it to win serves.

    Does anyone know how you report spam in pm's? I posted on a thread then the op sent a pm with company details about them wanting agents, I pressed the spam button on the thread but without the pm info it just looks like a genuine thread.

    Possibly BB, I dunno, I'm getting to the point of being passed caring. Nothing I do is ever good enough and I'm tired.

    It *is* good enough. That's why people are reduced to malicious allegations. You are a GOOD mother Toto - you care so much and so deeply for your children, and it would be impossible to convince me otherwise.

    thanks BB. Luckily, driving in a responsible manner;)

    Not luckily Pepe - thought you drove like that all the time...

    I was able to stop without ploughing into the jack-knifing lorry in front ( it went off into the trees then) but then I looked in the mirrors and saw another trucker cr*pping himself as he hurtled towards towards my rear.

    Big crunch as he squashed a transit van between us.

    That's not so good...

    Toto, just wanted to send you a massive hug, there's no worse feeling than being accused of a bad parent when you have a child who has special needs and in fact you have to work much harder than a 'normal' parent. It just feels so ridiculous and unfair. Sometimes I think to myself 'People don't realise just how much of a saint you have to be to keep your temper, bite your lip, hold your head up high and be patient when your child is playing up, you're stressed, upset, and everyone around you is giving you 'the look' that says they think you're a bad parent with a horrible child'.

    Trust the voice in your head that says you are an amazing parent, and don't let stupid, narrow minded, clueless people chip away at that belief.
