    I have never seen sausages in a fishmonger before - perhaps these things are different in ireland...

    Well, that mummy meeting was nightmarish... the other mummy was so fussy - we must have moved under about a hundred trees before she found one that gave an acceptable amount of shade, she criticised me for giving Molly food that hadn't been warmed, she commented on Molly's clothing saying she wasn't warmly dressed (that would be because it is 26 degrees and SUMMER) and she constantly called her Molly Malone :mad:
    I don't get why so many people feel the need to pass comment on the way other people look after their children like that. Fine to disagree with people, fine to have general discussions/debates and fine to make direct comment if someone invites it but unless someone is doing something which causes serious harm or impinges on the person passing comment. Although the number of people here who complain about being criticised IRL does make me wonder whether I might inadvertantly do it IRL without realising.
    Any question, comment or opinion is not intended to be criticism of anyone else.

    I may or may not have said, Lena's a pretty name, how did you choose it? Isn't there a myth about her? Oh there IS, she was raped by the swan! :o

    But that was after multiple rudenesses.

    I've never earned that much in a day in my whole life lol!

    Sugar i've not been very smart, and haven't noted down dates or anything!! She should have been asking me to keep a diary of the noise too but hasn't. I am not sure the world has enough paper for that.

    Thanks Ladybird, there's no one here to help me. I could get my mother to go but she'd roll in stinking of stale booze and mingness and she's a hardfaced loudmouthed tramp so wouldn't give a good impression of me anyway.
    Omg i saw her today and she reeked, i couldn't get away fast enough, it was 3pm and she was obviously p!ssed. Waste of space!!!

    My car is broken!!! I went out earlier as i was visiting a friend, and it wouldn't start! It dind't even try to! So i ran over to the ripoff garage that's in my street and after much head scratching he went off and came back with a hammer! He bashed the starter motor and it worked... It's a good job i hadn't gone out to go to school as normal at 2:55pm as i'd have been well late picking him up.

    Anyway it keeps doing the same thing and a man down the road says it's the wire. I believe electrical faults = expensive faults :( It would be more MSE to keep the hammer in the car, so that's what i'm doing for now :rotfl:

    Breastfeeding group was ok, but everyone was so much older than me lol Someone was doing a bodyshop party so I got a free goody bag with a full size bodyn puff and some samples.

    MIL is quite bitter about breastfeeding coz she couldnt do it and the midwives werent very nice to her, so I think she wanted me to not be abe to do it too. While I was pregnan she was actively encouring me not to coz her boys were ff and they're never ill. This would be fine if i'd chosen to ff but wasnt very supportive when she knew i hoped to bf!

    meant to add before...LOL at EA's strange friend commenting on Kindof's status now......what business is it of hers whether E has jars or not???
