Thanks for the light, Brendan. http://www.psychologicalscience.org/onlyhuman/uploaded_images/bogart-and-bacall-798125.jpg

My pennorth worth, as one who has been insanely jealous, is that it is a matter of low self-esteem. Basically you don't think you deserve the person you are with and set out to prove it. I don't think it has anything to do with whether that person is trustworthy or not, it's to do with yourself. When you accept the truism that all men are bastards and are jolly lucky to be part of your life, you will be on the road to recovery. BTW, a very good book to work through re CBT is "Feeling Good" by Dr. David D. Burns. It is aimed at depression which is basically about negative, warped thoughts so can be used for other areas too.

Is John Piennar a single parent?

Oh to smoke on the underground and in cinemas again.

They should do, but they are Dutch!

Ditto.

Calm down children. I had a word with Mr Alan yesterday and he acknowledges that it is wrong to park on the zig zags and he will have a word with his drivers. He really is very amenable.

I eat curries now.

Allurement is nine tenths mystery, dear SteveT

Do you think I'm sexy - Rod Stewart

Hear, hear. That's what Teletubbies was invented for.

(Sorry Piers, can't resist) We 'ate Westham and we 'ate Westham, etc

Bloody hell. Never realised I was poor.

Well done old bean. [if you need proofreading, am happy to oblige!]

Annaj Have no fear - I have gone into extermination mode. The little (rather big actually) buggers will be no more by the first match. Let's put on a spread to cheer the chaps. Failing that, I do a rather nifty spin bowl.

Need me a stiff one - pass the gin. I've been out on the prairie a'huntin rats.

Introducing my friend, Helen: Helen J Hicks

I'm bloomin' busting for the loo now - typical. Either a cat has brought it in, or it's got through the cat flap, or it's come up from the cellar (one hole by radiator needs stuffing with wire wool) or (worst thought) it's come up through the loo. I'm off to the DIY shop for killing things. If you see someone shuffling up L.Lane with legs crossed, that's me.

Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam Just heard a noise, bravely went to investigate - rat in the bathroom. No cats in sight. What do I do?

You can hire nets at the oval: price list

Blessed are the peacemakers, Brendan. Or is that cheesemakers?

I think the problem is, Edmummy, Cherry didn't specify what she wanted. Just to pose the question "Are there any single parents in ED?" was never going to engender helpful replies.
