    2. My collar doesn't match the cuffs!

    4. I'm planning to fit the car seat for our newcoming baby tomorrow with my husband - a bit of a seminal moment!

    5. As soon as I've had the baby I'm going to get a load of botox!

    6. Just when I thought my old girlfriends had forgotten me, they've organised a baby shower for me and I'm touched and thrilled!

    7. I cooked a really good curry tonight

    8. I committed (minor!) insurance fraud recently and I don't feel the slightest bit guilty!

    9. I need a filling and I'm too scared to go and get it sorted

    10. My illness has got so bad lately that I'm considered disabled.

    Feathers - No 1 is cool! No. 5 isn't a bad affliction either....

    Hollybags, a few questions...

    1. what was your victory today? Spill!
    2. RE: Insurance Fruad - it cancels out the feck-up when you bought the place, so alls equal Smiley winking
    3. Get the filling before the baby comes - its free and relatively painless compared with, oh, I dunno, labour?
    4. No. 10 worries me....

    1. A long standing legal thing I got embroiled in, and dug in my heels and won! And the Other Side is dead. Dead, as Zed, baby!

    2. Insured cat, cat died, didn't cancel premiums, got new cat, new cat got ill, claimed on old insurance. (New cat is striped, old cat was black. And dead.)

    3. Too scared. Having a c section. Will ask if they can do epidural in my scalp and then I might face it.

    4. Don't worry, am ok. x x

    Ah ok - thought it was house related. sorry about stripey-cat.

    And, I apologise in advance for being stern here.... you cant mention botox in one post and fear of the dentist in another. Get thee to the dentist woman - you'll have enough to be dealing with in the next few weeks without having to factor major tooth-pain in as well.... m'kay?

    No. 4 - whatever it is ?

    LaP - do you still play the clarinet now? I sometimes go through phases of wanting to get an oboe and take it back up again

    HB - could the dentist give you gas and air? That is the only way I can get through fillings, I am petrified of dentists too

    Stripey cat is in the rudest of health, and quite bloody right, considering she cost £650 for eating crap she found in the bins! Will sort my tooth and my wrinkles as soon as I'm able, all in the same week prolly! x x

    Well you don't really know anything about me 'cos I'm a lurker but:

    1: I'm 27 and my hair is almost totally white, it started going white at 14 and I now religiously dye it.

    2: I'm vegetarian because the texture of meat makes me feel sick. I love lentils and chickpeas.

    3: I am a walking (or not walking the majority of the time) collection of illness (IBS, ME, PCOS)

    4: I moan permanently about being fat but despite probably knowing more about how to lose weight than the average WW leader I still stuff myself with chocolate.

    5: I'm obsessed with reading, I love books and will read absolutely anything that crosses my path.

    6: I Sky Plus any programme about fat people/animals or skinny Americans. (90210, America's Next top Model, Biggest Loser, Animal Cops etc etc).

    7: I have my lip, ears and tongue pierced and have 6 tattoos planned but have never gotten around to making the appointment.

    8: I love gaming and adore my Xbox360.

    9: My most embarrassing confession is my love of WWE Wrestling. I pay for the Sports channels just for the wrestling and I buy all the Pay Per View matches. (I may be a 14 year old boy trapped in a 27 year old woman's body).

    10: I live in my jammies (work from home) I shower and put on new jammies and barely ever wear real clothes unless going outside (practically never). However I put on makeup and straighten my hair every day and spend a fortune on smelly stuff, I'm currently loving Soap & Glory and Benefit.

    But I have so many pretty pairs of jammies (15 pairs at last count)! And none of my outside clothes fit anymore anyway ?. Plus wearing jammies all day makes afternoon napping much easier ?

    Glider - you will get your degree - I pissed about at your age. Now I'm back and being a really boring, earnest, mature student. dont leave it as long as me.

    Secondly - and I dont mean to be (too ?) condescending here - but all the feelings you've described sound just like me in my early 20's. There will come a point when you dont give a flying fig. so dont sweat that. You're doing just fine.

    Thanks Eric, the degree one is hard, it`s so specialised it the only course in the UK and I already asked them 2 years ago if I could do it via distance learning, they declined.

    You weren`t condescending at all, worrying as I`m in my mid 20`s now and I have those feelings though.

    Hmmm. Don't know if I'll get to 10, but I'll give it a go.

    1. I married a thrash metal drummer when I was in my early twenties, which lasted around six months before I ran off with someone who had just got out of prison.

    2. I worry all the time that I'll wake up as Fat Monica from Friends.

    3. I've never had a job which I haven't thrown significant sickies from.

    4. I spent eight years chasing what I believed to be the LOML, only to turn him down when he asked me to be with him.

    5. If I had the money, I'd probably do a lot of Class A drugs.

    6. I only have one friend I really trust.

    7. I'm obsessed with my eyebrows, and pluck them every day. If I find a stray hair during the day, it bothers me constantly until I can get home and sort it out.

    8. I'm a rubbish swimmer. It looks like a shark attack every time I'm in the pool.

    9. The fire alarm went off in my apartment building last night, and I still can't hear properly.

    10. I think that dogs are better people than most people I've met.
