Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

[It's not that I don't like kids, I just like giving them back to their parents after a while, and I like doing/buying what I want for myself. The cat is our child. I'm sure my sister gets asked when me & OH are having kids more than I do - she makes it very clear we've always done things our way, so basically get your nose out!].

I sincerely hope the military are drafted in to drag you out by the scruff of your neck and kick you down the steps.

We did not have fireworks set off at 5.30am.... or again about 15 minutes later. I slept through them.

[I am guilty of making a 'you'll be next' comment when one colleague brought her baby in and another similar age colleague was loving the bosies (cuddles). I immediately felt awful and sought her out to apologise. She was fine and shortly after announced she was pregnant. I did not know her cicumstances and that could have been a really hurtful throw away comment - lesson learned]

My mother has never asked me 'do you never regret not having more children' knowing fully well that I have never been in a situation (i.e. a serious enough relationship) for that to even be an option.

[I have 2 girls. One year when I asked fil what he would like for Christmas, he said *a grandson*. I think it was a bad joke, he adored his granddaughters and knew we weren't planning any more children]
