The Dogmother Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 This on another forum made me laugh... I've just got an e-mail from Amazon saying my purchase of 50 Shades of Grey for my kindle was unsuccessful. Now, I don't have a kindle, and haven't tried to buy it. But my 16 year old daughter's kindle is registered to me and my Amazon account......how embarrassed do you think she's going to be!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I went to the bank yesterday to deposit some money, today I was going to top up my oyster card with my debit card, and shock horror, it wasnt in my wallet! Thinking I may have left it at home, I had a good search, but I still couldn't find it . But a quick phone call to the bank showed that there was no unauthorised transactions and my card is now blocked and a new one is on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I hate that horrible sick feeling you get when you find you have lost something like that Not really, as that account only has £20ish on it, if it was my other card, with over £3000 on it, then I would be very very worried.

patsylabrador Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think old age is creeping up on me. I've started trying to persuade people to buy soft top socks. They are lovely and comfy though and dont leave marks on your legs. See what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 comfy is the way to go can't be doing with pain in the name of fashion at my age... smart but comfy is my mantra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If clothing and shoes are not comfortable, then as far as I am concerned they are not fit for purpose I wear smart black Sketchers trainers most of the time because they are so comfortbale and supportive, I even wear them in the office with smart black trousers and a smart shirt, I never have been able to do heels. Edited for spelling, I think the heat is getting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 YS left school today - I no longer have children at school and hence feel rather old . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 YS left school today - I no longer have children at school and hence feel rather old . I was just saying to one of the nursery staff that having a child old enough to start school in September is making me feel old! She made me feel better by saying that I must only be in my mid-20s - they're well trained those nursery staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 My eldest has left now and DS could leave now if he wanted too, he has finished his GCSE's so could go out and get a job. This is unlikely on two fronts, he is lazy and there aren't many jobs around, so I think he will be back at school in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Eldest has finished GCSE's and hopefully will go to 6th form in Sept. Little un goes to secondary school in Sept - so dont tell me about old - you are looking at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I found it very liberating when my lot passed 'compulsory education' age. Other parents stopped thinking they could pass judgement and make critical comments about how I was raising them and how dreadfully they would turn out. It was quite a relief.

chickencam Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I know what you mean I am very relieved to have got one child to over 18 and well turned out, just 2 more to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I haven't shed any tears over the end of school days. However, YS is off to Bulgaria in a couple of hours for a Club 18-30 holiday so the worrying isn't quite over . He's just started looking out his stuff for packing now .

Alis girls Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I am dreading the time ES wants to go to Agia Slapper etc. I have told him he will have to fund it. I dont want to know what he gets up too. He is 16 and raging hormones - the new gal in his life is 15 and half and sweet enough but I think shes a bit needy. ES calls me Monster in law - I'm not but shes caused him no end of grief - playing with his feelings. I have to grit my teeth when I make her a cuppa (and not accidently spit in it!!) Young love - you can keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Eeek! I've all this to look forward to...! I was chatting to my neighbour and she was saying her son (late teens) had just gone on a lads holiday and she was worried about what he was getting up to. Apparently she had to beg him just to text her to let her know when he'd arrived and to let her know the name of the place he was staying Teenage romances - eurgh!

LolaLayla Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Mine is just back from his lads holiday. Thankfully no piercings, tattoos, hospital visits or being mugged for him (only several of the others with him )......I will wait until you all have yours back before saying anymore. He felt he managed to come back unscathed by staying with a couple of the other lads at all times. He said he had a great time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
