    I always think of you as sleek and skinny.

    Ohhhhhh how I WISH that were true. Well my legs are, and my arms are like pipe cleaners. So maybe I should just put a picture of them up and ignore my tractor tyre midriff... (I used to have abs. ABS DAMMIT!!!!!)

    :p

    There is a lot of weeing involved...can't see it working for humans.

    I'm assuming you mean Ponyplops ... not yourself and family having to provide some boy-pony anti-aphrodisiac deterrent in manner of tiger poo for cats and badgers etc? (although good call for potty training young'un if so)!

    How's that going by the way?

    Hope you're having a restful weekend. X

    Thanks Habi.

    Potty training seems to be pretty much done. Yay!

    Super stunning day here. Took plops out this morning-it is her weeing BTW-thinking dinner will be picnic at the playing field.

    Did some *ahem* Christmas shopping though only at online pound shop.

    I think the only reason no one has is because there's a certain anonymity about the forums. At our place staff regularly get disciplined over fb comments. It's seems to be a real problem at the mo. I had 1 of mine just a month or so ago.

    The reason I am comfortable posting fairly detailed information is that I am anonymous here. But it would be nice to meet a few like minded people in RL.

    HelenDaveKids - How does your work know what you put on FB? Keep your profile security tight and ignore all friend requests from colleagues. :cool:

    I am afraid I tell colleagues I dont do facebook since I really cant be dealing with it.
  • A huge majority of my friends work in the trust but even that aside I know that certain trusts monitor what is written. I am just very careful and rarely post stuff. I wouldn't bother at all but unfortunately I'm nosey!
