not too long...otherwise you might have to change your user-name to wide-body jet.

the diet can wait a bit longer!

but choc and wine at Hotel California (REHAB) have zero calories as they are cyber goodies.

Weight-watchers can't touch us....

I’m all for comfort food at times of stress – the diet can wait a bit longer!

Here here!!

Will join you with the wine and chocs...perhaps will wait until after noon though!

I’ll definitely have to change my user name soon – I promised my DD an Indian takeaway tonight (her favourite), as she’s got through the week!

[laid back son worried mum]

Turbojet, after you have the curries?

I’ll definitely have to change my user name soon – I promised my DD an Indian takeaway tonight

She thoroughly deserves it! Enjoy!

We are all keen for academic success for our children, which is great, but don't you also think that a bit of mental and physical toughness will go a long way?

Bad Dad, I agree entirely ... when I was young we had to live in 'ole in middle of road ... I had to get up at 6am t'milk cows and THEN walk 5 miles to school with no shoes ... just brown paper and string holding it t'gether ... but was I down-hearted?

... eeh by gum no I LOVED it!

Regards, TCO

you were lucky...

when I was young, we had to live in a 'ole in the middle of a cardboard box.. I had to get up at 5 am t'stoke the embers and THEN walk 10 miles to the fields with no breakfast...just some string to chew and some leaves to suck on....

Oh dear doesn't it bring back memories

Walking ten miles clambering over the old Farmers gate and ducking so he couldn't hit me with his rifle for tresspassing. Bare footed, bags of wood on my back to deliver to local factory for a shilling

but of that smell of Hovis when I got back, them were the days!!!

Sitting in front of the TV watchng X Factor and surfing.

I have 2 DSes both who are very confident. To hear about children with less confidence makes heart bleed for you.

It's nearly a month since the last psot.

Any progress with DD?
