Have you a link to the advert so we can see what you're referring to?

hmm...I've tried googling for the advert but can't get it in full, but here are stills from it, none of them showing her backside from behind for the ''prepared for a trip to the karzi in the cold'' angle!

GDB, do keep up!
This picture of Fabio made me giggle
Anyone else think he looks like a missing character from Thunderbirds?
Sorry, totally random post!

Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Me: I hope not, darling. I hope you won't be a single parent. I hope you'll choose a good husband who'll keep loving you, so it won't just be you trying to do everything.
Her: Yes, like Granny did.
I hate to point this out, as I have never been in your position, but is it fair to the kids effectively to state that their dad was a bad husband? Even if he was?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

We've had hundreds of conversations about this. I always point out his many good points, and remind them (even when DS is very angry with him) that he loved them and did a much better job than most non-resident dads. But they know that it was his choice to leave, not mine. They know exactly what my views about marriage are, and they know I think that he was wrong to leave. I say things about hoping they will grow up to be like the best of both of us: I tell them I hope they'll be good at being on time like him (and not me) and good at staying committed to their spouse like me (and not him).
I don't think lying, adultery and leaving one's wife should be described as being a good husband, even to keep children thinking their dad was great.
It helps that I really don't think he was a bad person. There were loads of good things about him, and lots and lots of strengths, but he had two or three major character flaws that ruined things for him in several areas of his life, including our marriage, but also other things like crashing and burning career-wise twice.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

lydia,
another thing to consider: a breakthrough for dh (as an adult not a child, so not sure how similar it would be, but his siblings had been trapped in a grief cycle for a LONG time) was when he stopped remembering the date of the death and we started celebrating his mother's birthday instead. That way the memories were all the ones of love and good times, not the grief and end. I know his siblings still mark the anniversay of her death...calling each other, maybe trying to meet up, but I do know dh has benefited from stopping that.0 -
I am not in the right mood for supporting my kids through their anniversary grief today. Yesterday, DD and I were in the car together driving to pick DS up from a birthday party. DD is quite unlike DS and will talk about anything. In fact she rarely stops talking, unless actually asleep. She put the radio on in the car. It played "I will survive". Cue mother-daughter conversation about the importance of not letting your identity be defined by a man who doesn't love you. She's growing up and asking more searching questions, including "Would you have taken Daddy back if he'd changed his mind about divorcing you?"
She's noticed what an amazing man my dad is, too. This conversation happened the other day:
Her: Mummy, will I get burn-out like you when I'm grown up?
Me: I hope not, darling. I hope you won't be a single parent. I hope you'll choose a good husband who'll keep loving you, so it won't just be you trying to do everything.
Her: Yes, like Granny did.
I so would have liked at least one daughter.
Not that I don't enjoy boy conversations with the boys, but there are definitely some things I miss out on.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
