Anne and Suzy are the new busty barmaids and when Luke's a**e is all better from being pinched he can serve too.
Only thing is it's my night off tonight

The kids live with her husband cos they split, her oldest daughter has moved out to live with her, and the second daughter can't be bothered half the time to collect the son. Today she wasn't at school and didn't even come out of her house 3 doors away to collect the boy. I didn't know she wasn't at school until I called mum at 4.15 to find out what was going on. He is usually collected by 10 past at the latest, and that's a good 10 mins after my boys get in.
I asked her nicely to sort it out a few weeks ago when the daughter started coming home, getting changed, going back out to the shop and then calling for the boy, and it has just got worse. I hate to fall out with friends over kids but I may just have to tell her to sort something else out after xmas.
My daughter who is at the same school as her son has been staying for judo on a thursday. She doesn't finish till 4.30, so theoretically I could have been out until then but I have had to be in for her son! Did I complain - no!
Aaah I feel better for that, thank you for listening

Must be the time of year - I had a disagreement with a really good friend about her daughter last week,
The kid is going to 5 in January and is still being wheeled around in a pushchair ( for up to age 3).
My friend said to me that a couple of other peeps had been making comments about it and what did i think. I told her I thought S should be walking everywhere by now as she starts YR1 next year and might be made fun of (its happening already). My friend got upset and said she thought I would be more understanding.
Of what I ask? she asked my opinion - I told her.
what do you think?

Honestly, I think you were totally and completely right. It doesn't matter what the reason is for her still using the pushchair, but it is not doing the child any favours at all. I totally agree with you that the mickey will be taken out of this kid. There is nothing on earth as cruel as kids can be. If you, as a good friend, can't tell her then nobody can.
Sounds like you could do with a drink too, have one on me mate

Glad you agree - i was feeling like a right bitch - but I just think 5 year olds (almost) should be walking. there's nothing wrong with S - she's lazy and my friend (ex?) just lets her get away with it.
Anyway I've just made a cock up with the frigging Xmas Tree and we haven't got it yet so Savannah is hissy fitting in the other room.
two pints of vodka pleeeeasee
