Hello!
I realise I’m now going to probably, slightly annoyingly, comment about a year and a half after everyone else. I’m hoping this doesn’t mean you get a heap of messages in your mailbox (apologies if it does).

The wee/hands thing disturbs me – especially as i have recently discovered a very close family member does this, and i am eeeever so slightly ocpd when it comes to washing hands/touching stuff etc. all i’m saying is, i’m probably never shaking your hand again. but hugs are fine.

everything else is very true. especially the parcel thing. that, or get it delivered to a work address. work are normally cool with this. except for washing machines and other large household appliances. that doesn’t work so well. especially if you cycle to work…

Aww, this is lovely. Especially as I turn 20 this year. But lo and behold, I have learned a lot of those things already, so that can only be a good sign, right?

Cat

I pretty much know all of South Park there is to know. So I won’t need to worry about that anyway XD.

All I have to say is which I realise isn’t really a comment so much as a facial expression but… well, just but really. Thanks for a smile on a Friday Mr W (yes I realise I am a day late)

All I can say is which I realise isn’t a word. If you could see my face it would be more an action really… Basically made me smile. Thanks Mr W…

Getting a cat was the best thing I ever did.

It took me until my forties to realise that what I really needed to make my life complete was a cat. All those wasted years…

I’m 15, and I spent the last few minutes reading that instead of doing maths homework (solving quadratic equation thingies D: ) and to be honest, that advice was far more useful, even though it probably won’t help me pass my GCSEs …
But yeah, cheers for the wise words

Ohhh and you’re so right about the tax thing, my brother just tried to explain it to me and I just heard white noise

You’re completely right: doing better then the cool kids from school never gets old, especially–and I’m not entirely proud of this–if they are putting your recent purchases into a bag at the time. If one was a big enough loser in school (such as myself) that experience gets the apology bonus points. Starting around 23 or so I started running into people who would apologize for being horrible to me when we were 15 and I would thank them and ask “who are you again?” as I had (genuinely) forgotten them by graduation and was looking forward to forgetting them again as soon as I’d walked away.

PS Not to cross posting bounds or anything, but I just got a twitter update. The baby is TEN POUNDS? You’re poor missus!
