The phone call I got from my 12 year old daughter yesterday. "Dad, my friend at school is transgender. She used to be a boy but is a girl now. Oh, and I'm going to Lakeside on Saturday, bring money home"

That seems to be a very popular decision at the moment. One of lads I worked with is now a woman. The more shocking one was one of the kids in my kids class at school (age 6) used to be a girl and is now a boy!

Saw a piece on BBC breakfast yesterday about a very young boy (4 or 5 I think) who is now a girl.
It's got to be the parents making that decision! When I was a kid the girl that wanted to play football was a Tom boy and normally grew out of it when she got older.

Yeah how can some that young really know what they feel.

Yeah, her best mate has a brother who is going to take hormone pills and make the change when he leaves school. Each to their own, funny really he made a great Mr Bumble in the school christmas play.
As a young girl, I played with train sets and cars and liked to climb trees so I was a bit of a tom boy. I've never been a girly girl, some of us are like that - doesn't make us any less feminine in the ways that matter! :winking: I do think there's sometimes a bit of a rush to label kids as "transgender" these days.

Funny, I got a present of Molton Brown shaving cream and balm. It's good, but I'm not convinced it's any better than the King of Shaves gel and Nivea balm I usually use. That said, I've only used it once.

Mrs G and me went over to Leigh marshes/sea wall to support the runners in the Benfleet 15 (miles) and on a cold crisp morning they needed all the support they could get; especially the lass who had mud from her heels to her pony tail hair where she had (obviously) taken a right tumbler.

Yeah that looks good as well.

I took a closer look at my mobile phone bill last week to notice that I was paying £1.25 a week to Bounce Games, which I never signed up to. Up until then I had assumed the increase in my bill over the last few months was due to me making more use of it.
I then rang EE to complain. They told me that they can't do anything because Bounce Games are nothing to do with them. They did, however give me a number to ring and assured me I could get my money back if I rang and complained. That I did, and they agreed to refund me the money. They said I would receive a text message within the next two weeks that I should then take to the Post Office where it could be redeemed for cash.
I have just returned from the post office. It turns out that I had been paying this since the end of June, and now have £45 burning a hole in my pocket.

All the space stuff we've got going on at the moment. Tim Peake's spell in the ISS has really caught the imagination of my children and nieces, then this week we've got the opportunity to see five planets in alignment. Loads of questions being asked, and some of them being answered correctly by despairing parents :smile:
Big contrast to when I was a kid. We had Challenger. :'(

I only had the Apollo 13 film. Decent as it goes, but still...

I am working from home today, and have just received a call telling me that I have been selected to receive a grant of £8000. The guy got upset with me when I complained that I was expecting a whole lot more, and that I wouldn't accept such a paltry amount.

We all got a good nights sleep for the first time in ages. I had some really cool/strange lucid dreams.
