Don't want to worry you daisy but my OH was 12 when he first had sex.

I think you should get him, sit him down calmly then jump on him and tie a knot in it. Just in case. You don't want to add underage pregnancy to your list of worries. :rotfl:


I sooo don't want my daughter to get any older than 10, my 21 year old was a nightmare and he's lucky he's still alive, I just know my daughter is going to be worse. :rotfl: < Nervous hysterical laugh.

Good luck pet. You have lots of sympathy and strong vibes from this direction.

thats part of my fears - lots of sex talk on his msn - now whether its all boyish bravado or not who knows ?? also evidence of - you show me yours etc on webcams - to his gf i might add not a stranger and talk of alcohol stealing alcohol and getting drunk :mad:
dont think hes been drunk but think hes tried stuff - we have a garage full of alcohol so would have been very easy for him to steal a couple of cans and we would never know

also discussions of having alcohol on sleepovers - he had loads of sleepovers in holidays and when they were here we would often hear them wandering downstairs in the night - he always said they were just getting a drink - hmmm what kind of drink eh ????

What tips do you awesome people have? I can't do it alone anymore, and my boyfriend just thinks I'm lovely anyway. What do men know?!

*giggles*

try cutting the carbs

ztan

I have tried... but I keep finding they creep into everything.

Pasta, potatoes, cereals, toast....

I blame my insanely fussy partner!

What makes a good dinner that skips the carbs? Any tips?

another day another problem - whilst sorting the laundry this morning i noticed my sons clothes from yesterday reeked of cigarette smoke - hes 12 !!!!!! !!!
have had a nosy on his MSN history - yes i invaded his privacy - and fear hes been up to all sorts

pass me the vodka

Oh crap.. not got any words of comfort sorry, i've never smoked but two of mine do

I'm sure i was still climbing trees and building dens at 12 ( at 15 too i think ) kids today are just too advanced.

I've just eaten cheese burgers (without the bun and relish) with a small side salad. Was yummy and I'm stuffed.

Been bored in the evenings on my week off, i'm usually so tired i just stretch out and relax, been pacing a bit this week, think i'm missing work :shocked:

Maz...within 5 minutes you'll be wondering why you felt upset. Hope he settles in well, I'm sure he'll be fine, lads tend to not be as emotional about stuff like this I think.

Meal out in company today is it? Use the time to practice your flirting technique. May as well get some use out of him. :rotfl:

I wish you a peaceful Wed-Sun.

Well I got a shock this morning. I found an online heart health calculator thing. It's a Flora job so probably not the most accurate thing going but nevertheless, the results were interesting. It had my heart age as 67! Considering I'm in my 40's, I was more than a little upset.

I also watched biggest loser USA last night, I was disgusted to see there was a girl there who weighed a little less than me.

I started thinking about me and how my life had changed. I don't just mean my weight, more about my attitude. There wasn't much I couldn't do before, and if I couldn't get something/do something, I'd not give up, I'd just push harder until I did. Now...I just give up. I'm trying to pinpoint why, I don't know if years worth of stress has eaten away at my 'strength' and I've just become wimpy or is it just laziness or disinterest? I don't know, but I really dont much care for the person I am now. I want to be strong and bolshy again. I wish I could bottle this 'just do it' feeling so I could sniff the bottle when I'm wimpy.

Oh and btw, just so's you all know.....Maz has been bullying me. :rotfl:

Sunnyday

Morning peeps :wave:

day off today :j i`ll be rushing around like a loon as i`ve got lots to do, meal planning is one of them followed by a trip to the shops and then i`ve tons of washing to do from the hols. There are still some bags packed so i`ll sort those out as soon as i`ve walked the woofaloes.

Mazzers - (((HUGS))) i doubt that you`ll feel sad for long though

Alias - *scratches chin* i can`t be bothered with some things that i used to be a stickler for, i partly put it down to an age thing and partly cos i don`t seem to have much time for "me" anymore so some things have to give.

I used to be a stressed up mess who lived very strictly by the clock and used to be wound up from the minute that i woke up in the mornings. I got really bad and was totally obsessed, then i stopped wearing a watch and the difference was dramatic - not immediately as i felt as if the world was going to end but gradually over a couple of weeks my stress levels fell and i started living a normal life again.

Having dealt with that which was taking over my life i can`t see how i can`t apply something similar to my eating long term. I`m going to do a SW type meal plan - my heart wants to follow LC though but i can`t as a) we`re skint now and b) making different food for hubs was driving me insane so SW it is. Quite looking forward to it actually - oh and two of the pounds that i put on have already disappeared :j

Right i`m off to walk the doglets, no doubt i`ll be back later

Have good days peeps!

Ooooh you little liar.. *said in the style of Bobby Ball *



I hope i'm back on track today, i feel thin again not flippin weighing tho.

Alias, i feel the same as SD, have realised there's more to life than proving how capable i am :cool:
I changed after having a heart attack.
Also cant be ars*d to worry about things i haven't cleaned etc.
It's a bit cliched but i enjoy a lot of simple things now.. i'm a changed woman
I've also become a bit of a squanderer.. cant take it with you/ lot of rich people in the cemetery etc etc..
I still worry about the boys like, but thats never gonna stop.
