Lowcoste 

When La Coste were the in thing for kids. My boy had a terrible habit of pronouncing it as Low cost. I was paying about 50 quid a month the rate he went through them at. It broke my heart every time I heard him say it.

Saw a job going on Stornoway that's kinda similar to mine but less pay and a lot less responsibilities but, on the other hand, it gets me outta London and somewhere new. Only drawbacks I can see would be the lack of fried chicken shops open at 4AM when drunk, mental Christians, not being able to buy booze 24/7/365 and relocation costs.


Don't do it man.

Had a meeting at work today to discuss returning after Maternity. :( Going back end of March for one day a week initially :thumsup2

A colleague asked me recently if I'd be taking my fortnight's summer holiday concurrently with my 2 week paternity leave. I told them honestly that if I was off for a whole month I'd never return. f**k knows how you'll manage going back after a year or so. I'd have completely lost the ability to give a shite about work. I worked from home for 6 months when my wife was pregnant with our first kid. Going back to working in an office again after that was murder, though the routine was nice I suppose.

I am "kinda" looking forward to it. Meeting other mums and children is nice but it can be fucking boring. All they talk about is their children, which I don't give a shit about. At least at work I can talk about normal every day things. 

I don't know when I'll go back full time, maybe when the wee one leaves home or when Ruggy tells me :lol:

I enjoyed the novelty of oing to toddler groups and all that at first, but it did wear thin quickly. It's as though being a parent is literally the only part of some folks' lives and therefore the only topic of conversation they have.

Take your baby to work, everybody is desperate to look at it and listen to it squealing. Even if I have to keep working, I don't mind all the women cooing over it and asking who it fucking looks like.

Don't worry Sarge! I did that today. The first time I brought her into work one of the guys (child hater) said he'd preferred it if she was a dog. :( Thanks.

I've found that as my kid has grown any interest in coo-ing over folks' kids has waned. When men are actively looking after young kids they pretty much become women then return to normal (ie the bloke who would prefer a dog) as kids grow.
