Sorry to hear about 16yo heartache  its so hard at that age isn't it when you break up and for the parents too.
Hope he gets some good distraction at college.
Just seen MrM has taken to his bed poorly! your men folk aint getting much fun at the minute are they.  
My suggestion for 12yr olds phone is could it be the same password used for school as sometimes they are given one and use it for alot of things.

To add to the menfolk bother, my brother has just called and said he may need to sleep on my sofa for a few night. He's on his way over and will fill me in when he gets here. I hope he's not a Christmas relationship casualty 😥

Oh no Naomin, I'm really sorry to hear that.  Fingers crossed he and 16yr old can be of some comfort to each other.

He's here. On the phone to gf for round two! 😬 Dear oh dear.

And eat chocolate. In fact Chocolate X2 for the menfolk

I do have an emergency snickers bar in my handbag.🤣

On that note, I was listening to a podcast about the history of chocolate and snickers bars were always called that in America and they changed the name to Marathon when it came here to sell it as an energy bar. Who knew!?

That is an interesting fact there NM. I always wondered why they changed it to snickers a bit like opal fruits became starburst.  Why they have to mess with the names of much loved food stuffs I'll never know!

No does anyone know the shortcut for windows emojis when your keyboard doesn't have a windows key?  on my work pc its windows key and the full stop but on my home keyboard I'm stumped.

Glad you found it as I am clueless! 

I think the chocolate manufacturers messed it up with changing the original name for the UK in the first place.  The podcast was on BBC Sounds and is "You're Dead To Me" and the episode was the history of chocolate.  @WinterWarrior have a listen, they want chocolate historians! 😂

I have stuffed my secret snickers, could easily eat another... good job I don't have one.
