    No need to bow out MrsInvisble, I was only commenting! We're all allowed our opinion in here :D

    Some people have no concept of how they come across to others and if SRM's friend knew she'd offended her then she'd probably be mortified, sometimes these things have a nasty habit of hitting a raw nerve and then getting blown out of proportion.

    I would love another baby-my baby is 5 at the end of the month but I am too old now...and the reality of actually having to go through pregnancy just about makes me want to top myself.


    MrsI-stick around babe x

    My baby will be 12 at the end of the month...I feel very, very old.

    I can't really be having broody thoughts at the moment with a new job starting next week! Maybe in a year or two....

    Spot on Pooky-it's just "my" raw nerve, and I have to make sure it doesn't get blown up and affect our friendship-'cos she is a good friend,it's just me being oversensitive..
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
