    My neighbour's got a 7ft tree, her room's the same size as mine, I can't see how there's enough room for her in it as well as the tree!

    Hugs for Buffy.

    Snaggles, I think that's the right approach. When I first asked mum where babies came from (I must have been about 5) she told me it was when mummy went to the toilet after daddy and that's why she had to clean it every week. A couple of years later I found out the truth in the playground, boy was I relieved!

    Actually, given the crap level of my sex ed it's amazing I've never been pregnant or caught anything...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Oh, me and Mr Sunday discovered a mutual love of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today...and worryingly we both had a slight crush on the same character.... :eek:

    Oh !!!! it I am feeling massively sorry for myself and I want a boyfriend and a flat like everyone else I bloody know.

    I SICK of it sick of managing every last bloody thing on my own and then my friend having the cheek to say I don't cope.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    You do not sound like a baby!! Why wouldn't you want those things?

    And your friend has a bloody nerve!

    I wouldn't be surprised if your friends with babies look at you and say "I'm so jealous that she can go where she wants, when she wants without having to pack 5 tons of poo related stuff into a bag first."

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
