    Im not hungover, hurrrrah! Must of been the kebab I ate before bed :D

    I saw a girl I went to school with in town who used to bully me for being fat, is it wrong I took great satisfaction in seeing she is a proper blobber nowadays? SO petty, yet funny. She was like "Wow Karen you look good!" and I didn't say the same back to her.....:)

    I have to go get ready and my stuff packed for my train at 1pm now! Edinburgh for a drinking binge, oh my poor liver! I really don't drink or go out this much ever, it's just coincedence that things have lined up one after the other, usual isn't it!

    and honestly the woman upstairs has been playing chav bounce bounce squeaky crap music since 8:30, I can hear it clear as a flipping whistle. I hope she chokes on her cornflakes.

    Do the fairies have msn cos I get sooo lonely....

    Secret santa would be cool.

    I was randomly thinking about chav spoons today and thought it was such a great idea really and your all totally not getting it. :p Ok, I was actually wondering why you would spend time spooning gunk into it with a spoon Id guess, to just squeeze it back out? Surely getting the food in the chav spoon would be just as bad if not worse than simply spooning it into a babies mouth? :confused: it's like whyyy???

    So you can put in really runny baby rice to make your 6 week old sleep ;)
    Have you seen it also has a teat with an extra wide hole :eek:

    Wouldn't that be awful!!

    I sincerely apologise if anyone on her is the inventor of / owns a chav spoon :p

    many many thanks for the thoughts about gender-specific clothes and toys.

    What a lovely helpful bunch you are :)

    I'm also interested to know if anyone's specifically hunted out 'non-white (caucasian)' dollies for their LOs?

    I'd like fergus to have a range if possible. The only mum I know who persued this faithfully has 2 little girls who are half Indian and noticed that the eldest would often point to very fair girls and women with blond hair and say 'pretty!' but not people with darker skin.

    My pal is keen to raise her girls with a healthy self-image, so resolved to hunt out dollies of all ethnicities. :)

    what's everyone up to this weekend?

    I am going to help the fairies find a lot of Jiffy bags :o

    The playmobile little people have loads of diversity in their range, including a boy in a wheelchair.

    I'll buy Benjamin whatever [STRIKE]is on offer[/STRIKE] he wants in terms of ethnicity but I don't see the need to push it and insist on a range of dolls. I would be interest to see what would happen if your friends girls clearly favour white dolls over others, or played a game where one doll had been 'naughty'...would she intervene?

    I had black dolls when I was a kid and nobody ever made a fuss about it...I think sometimes we overthink these things these days :o

  • Jasmines school is really good, there is a downs syndrome girl in the other P3 class, lots of different religions, they got a full day on muslims as one of the girls there was wearing the scarf thing ( I am so sorry I cant remember the name) and everyone kept asking her why, so they brought someone in to discuss different religions, and there are a few mixed race, a chinese girl, and indian boy and a few black british kids (not all in her class I must add, but they all play together outside at lunch.)
    Chris is quite racist when it comes to 'foreigners' !! Especially the polish, but it is only because there were 4 houses rented to polish families in our old street and they had middle of the night parties all the time and the police were out constantly !!
