My fifteen (16 next month) daughter has asked to meet an 18 year old boy she has met through bbm (blackberry messenger), she speaks to him on facebook and skype as well. They were planning on meeting at a shopping centre which is a train journey from where we live. We haven't met the lad and know nothing about him, he doesn't live that local to us. We have said no unless she takes someone with her, either here sister or a friend. She doesn't want to take anyone so we are now not talking, I've been accused of treating her like one of my Pre-School children!! So did we do the right thing? Part of me thinks yes the other part thinks we may be setting ourselves up for a fa…

I was in Ikea last night, and noticed their play kitchen has been reduced in price. I can't recall who was looking to buy one, but it is now £46, which seems like a bargain!

Just got this from a Facebook friend, so good life lessons here! Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio . "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 42 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short – enjoy it.. 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Stay true…

Hi! I was reading the (serious) thread about children being collected late and it got me wondering what the best excuses are that have been given for late collections! :rolleyes: My best ones are: 1. 'I was late because it was raining and I'd have got wet going to the car' - parent was 45 minutes late! 2.' I'm only late because I as gardening and using the church clock for time and it hadn't been changed when the clocks went forward at the weekend' - Granny was 45 minute late. 3''I'm late becuase I was on an online dating site for my mother - she's looking for a farmer!' This from a Granny who was half hour late - note she was therefore online dating for th…

I booked my tickets last week and today I read some reviews. The reviews were rubbish, the film is brilliant. Well worth watching, can't wait for part two. Don't let the critics put you off

We bought this lovely book by Birdie Black for our children's christmas present. It's a really nice story, with a subtle message about giving.............(none of the characters think about themselves, when they make nice clothes out of the offcuts from the King's present to his daughter, all of the gifts are for their loved ones). Two parents went very misty eyed over it. One said.........'oh it's lovely; I found a really HORRID book in the shop, all about Santa needing a wee........just horrid'........she couldn't understand me laughing, until I showed her our copy on the bookshelf! Another really nice book I can recommend is ;This is not my hat by J.Klassen........…
