I’m crying with tears of joy because I am looking at Pigeon Street.com the best kiddie’s TV programme ever! I haven’t seen it for about 20 years. I downloaded some of the songs too. My favourite character wasLong Distance Clara the female truck driver (maybe influenced me into being a feminist). Found out she was married to Hugo and not a closet lesbian after all.

At gods little ones you can buy a model of a life-sized anatomically correct premature baby! So if you have your baby aborted or miscarry you can order a dolly and erm cry over it forever more.
Or you can buy one for educational purposes “We recomend dressed models for use with children for modesty sake” Yes that’s right your 8 week old ‘micro-preemie’ can be bought with matching accessories!

I know miscarriage is a devastating time for someone but buying a life-like resin doll of your dead baby, is that really going to help you? Do people display them in their cabinets and when the neighbours come round they point out little Jimmy?

Me: Well if Rosemary West can get a boyfriend then there’s hope for me yet
Mother: Well you don’t get out enough
Me: Erm I don’t think Rosemary West does either

I’m ill again. I looked in my dictionary of symptons, I either have a reacurring cold (since Christmas?!), glandular fever (my lymph nodes are enlarged) or a ballooning penis. Oops no, I just couldn’t resist looking at the funny diseases and scary conditions. There’s pages on willies!

I’m still deaf, I went back to the doctors on Monday and was told I have fluid on my right ear drum and to keep taking decongestants. I can’t actually hear people talking, the family are having to shout at me and my TV is turned up so loud that the vibrations are getting on my nerves. My dad is ill with acute bronchitis after 3 different types of penicillin and an x-ray of the lungs. My mum has had her back x-rayed. Well we are a healthy bunch.

when I’m sad I like to look at the dancing pandas

I’ve just watched a programme broadcasted on Channel 4 called “Skinny Kids”. I’m so appalled by what some of these kids and pre-teens were saying. Obviously all the kids featured in the documentary had a desire to be thin and look good becaue they were influenced by pop stars and the television. There were even a group of girls, aged about 8, that go to the gym 3 times a week. This gym is specially designed for children with smaller sized gym apparatus. The girl shown working out said she had a fat stomach and wobbly thighs. She was a perfectly healthy looking young girl.

Another girl exclaimed she wanted to be a pole dancer when she grew up so she could get boys easier.

Chloe aged 9 spent the morning having higlights put in her hair and having a manicure with her mum. She was then treated to a professional make-over for her good school report. This girl also wore full make-up to school every morning and carried a hand bag with her when she went out so she could check if she looked nice. Her mum had bought all her make-up and in the programme she was showing her daughter how to shave her legs.

What struck me was their mothers. All exclaimed that they thought they had a good body image and weren’t on diets and couldn’t understand why their daughters were so obsessed with make-up, weight and sexy clothes. So why on earth then mothers, did you buy your kids step machines (as one yound girl had in her bedroom as well as weights and a gym mat), cosmetics and high heeled shoes.

I’m thoroughly shocked by this programme.

I’ve got another sore throat. Here’s the deal, get a sore throat, it lasts for three days, be miserable for one day and then it clears up. Have no sore throat for a day and then “bugger” it starts all over again. This has been happening for 3 weeks now.

I was looking through my cute sticker collection and I noticed this rather dodgy looking couple. They are supposed to be a gemini starsign but I think they are just bumming each other.
