isn't that just Boarding school?

No that's forensics policing I think.

Hurrah for some honesty. I am sure a lot of first time mums end up feeling quite isolated because it seems socially unacceptable to admit what a grind the first few months can be some of the time.

I'm the first to admit I have no interest in having children, but I will confess the children of my friends who don't try to force me to love them are quite entertaining once they get to around 3. One friend's kids are quite smart when I go round and instead of trying to distract their mum to get attention they just come and play with me or ask me to read to them and it can be very endearing. For an afternoon anyway.

I love it when the Cleaning Lady brings her adorable 3-year-old round "I'm nearly 4" to fiddle on my Computer so that it ceases to function after he has gone.

It was even more amusing when he picked up the car keys and we all got involved in an impromptu "hide and seek"

..Great Fun was had by all, and lest I forget, the occassion when he went to the box and momemts later the Central Heating Bleedin' key went bleedin' missing and Mummy said it wasn't him (probably a co-incidence to be fair-a Million-to-One "co-incidence" mind).

...and how he pulls the dogs tails when Mummy isn't looking, they LUV IT, as they huddle round me for protection......

Can't wait for his next visit...

But Mummy loves him "You are going to break all the Girls hearts in future!-Did I tellyou that hisshoes cost ?50??"....funny how she doesn't give anywhere near the same attention to the 5-year-old Girl and worryingly, another friend who comes round does exactly the same thing...i.e. plenty of tangible love for the Boy and rarely mentioning the Girl,who often stays with her Mum

Annoying then, but certainly not boring....

Here's something you don't see every day Sonny, a shotgun shell that goes bang , flings a string out the end of your shotgun barrel, and contains a patch & CLP combination that allows you to clean a semi-skanky shotgun barrel quickly and easily.

Convenient.

Very nifty and attention-getting.

Maybe I should try that on both of them.

That should be straight enough and concentrate their minds wonderfully...>:D<

Can't do that.

When The Ladyfriend moved in she was quick to remind me that she had known me for nearly 15 years and I can't just discard her for someone who, though perfectly happy to keep the place clean, has only known me for 5/6 years, so she is first in the pecking order, as far as she is concerned, and trust me, in her eyes, that is the ONLY opinion that matters...::o

So she's here for life M8......

How did yet another thread become about TLS's domestic arrangements?

[woofmarkthedog]

On second thoughts, I will have the lie down...
