There's something I should tell you....
I dread what my mum is going to be like as an M.I.L. - we've already decided that we have to live as far away as possible, but not so far away that it looks obvious :S

I have an 'interesting' family. Two weeks after meeting me, my b/f was mentioning me to one of his friends who then said:

"Oh, you mean the test tube baby with the lesbian mother?"

When we next met up, he told me this and then added:

"...is there something you should be telling me?"

"Yes, um actually there is!"

I'm not saying lesbians are bad, mad, or something to be ashamed of. Most people who know me already know, but it's not something you normally just mention like that.

However, my mum is also kind of odd. She's VERY over protective (more so then, oh so much moreso) and, well, can be very difficult at times. Her form or argument also leaves little room for counter-argument (my head teacher was a bit scared of her!)

Once when the b/f came round, she got out this document and got us both to sign it.

It was her will, and she made us both signatories! How bloody morbid is that?!
