    I know the feeling - I got quite a fright the first time I posted my SOA. It took me two years to come back again. But I was a bit more thick-skinned this time and sussed out the locals before I posted an SOA again ;).

    I just remind myself that often you don't know the person responding to you and it may be that they have a social commuincation problem (I'm a speech and language therapist so I would think that ;)) rather than it being them being a muppet (or any stronger word of your choosing!).

    Glad you came along tobjoin in in the end :).

    Indeed! I'm a Family Support Worker and work with a lot of parents who have learning difficulties.
    I try not to be too judgemental of people on forums but its hard when they are downright bloody rude to you! ;)

    Thanks. x

  • Oh :o I've had 1 or 2 in here before, but it's not surprising as it's so old I can see daylight between some of the beams lol. When it was snowy I managed to have ice on the inside of the front door :rotfl:
    I reckon rubber gloves & dettol, then some lovely handwash & handcream once you've got rid of it & if all else fails a stiff drink :D or shouting for your OH of course :rotfl:

    Morning all!

    Slugs - ewww! Although i think i could handle a slug better than the dead mouse i found under my coffee table the other morning!

    I'm taking my little monster to the local Children's Centre this morning to let off a bit of steam. Thay have just started opening on Saturdays which is fab because i always struggle to find nice things to do with my little boy on the weekend. (My hubby works all weekend)
    Tomorrow i'm gonna make a motorbike birthday cake for my Dad's birthday. I'm really into cake decorating. Just wish is wasn't so expensive to buy decent equipment and ingredients.

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend. :)
