Oh poor you Custardo, I hope you are OK. Car crashes are so frightening Sad

Bless your son, though. It IS worth the screaming matches, eye rolling, curled lips and ransacked fridges after all Grin

Sorry for the crash but Smile at your son. DS (14) gives occasional glimpses of the young man that will finally emerge and it's looking good. It's just at the moment masked by an awful lot of rubbish behavior!

Just hope your DS is good to his word!

look after yourself. The hope of nice young people emerging from the cloud of hormones and lynx is encouraging.

Inside every teenager is a real human waiting to emerge..:)

Lovely to read Custardo.. (gives me hope, tho MY 17r DS1 has just lost the memory stick containing all his course work.. my boy is still in chrysalid form!)

Hope you feel ok soon!

What a fine young man Custy.

Hope you are recovering well and that you are resting as much as you can, thanks to your lovely DS Smile

It is nice to see them emerge from the horror again, isn't it?

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Did he do it though?

Report
Tortington · 23/09/2010 07:51

aha! thats the question!


funny, dh phned up not long after and i told him of the conversation, then i said " he won't do it, but the nice thought was there"

sure enough he didn't - he didn't need to, i already had done it - but i truly appreciate the thought
