    My boss spoke to me tonight about how I should think about having children. I cried. How is that a boss to staff member statment?

    As predicted, Voldemort hasn't been for his books yet - suspect he will be waiting at the end of the street until I go out and then sneak up to the door to collect them. Don't feel too bad about it tbh, I don't wish we could still be friends, although I'm a bit nervous about him coming here and am kind of hoping he WILL be cowardly, so I don't have to see him. Does that make me a coward too? :o

    School run time - think I may call at the shop for chocolate as a reward for getting through today. And maybe have a glass of wine once the kids are in bed!

    LOL - it stuck:rotfl:

    She was telling me I should have them, rather than not have them, so definitely hard to see what law she is breaking!

    Def felt inappropriate tho, as you can hardly say to your boss "er, drop it".
