Your post really moved me. I read it later on last night and I’d had a couple of gins so there were tears. Thank you for sharing. Your story highlighted your true struggles and heartache (and joy) against his whinging about getting Clem pregnant when they were in their mid-twenties.
I also didn’t reply last night because I had had a bit of wine and didn’t want my words to come out jumbled. Lots of love to you and I appreciate you telling your story!
He says he found out at 24 here- so maybe + 9 months he was 25 when she was born.

I was obsessed with the BSC film when I was 12. The new show is coming to Netflix in July and I’m so ready for it!Catching up on 9 pages of FOD just to get to today’s comments about his stories but had to quote - the BSC, yesssssAll still lovingly kept at my Mum’s house, I was obsessed
now got the TV show theme tune in my head right before bed.
I LOVE YOUR USERNAME
PS duck off Clammie on the grid post, you are not welcome back on insta. Your lights are tit too. Shoo now.
Babysitters Club! So very 90’s, the film is a cinematic masterpiece.What is BSC?
I had a google of BSC film and got BSC (hons) film production.
Pretty sure there’s a new series coming out this summer ...
Yes! July 3rd. Alicia Silverstone is Kirsty’s mom and they made the girls cast very diverse, which is really cool.
Same to all of this! I’ve not seen the BSC film but the books were so brilliant. I was obsessed with Claudia and her art, jewellery and junk food.
so gotta make hay when the sun is shining etc and thank god I can!!We paused our social lives and lost touch with friends.I think the lack of understanding the general public clearly have of influencer marketing is a huge problem? Like reading these comments people clearly don’t bleeping get it. They are the monetisable audience? They are being served with #ads from marketing teams via a couple in Kent. There needs to be more education on this in this country but it doesn’t serve brands to do so does it:
Also on their young parenthood - why were they both in uni so late? They said that they were finishing up final year and just getting jobs, in their mid 20s? I appreciate everyone goes at different times but... odd?
Agree on the class thing, they both expected to swan off to London and have a parent subsidised party for the best part of a decade before retreating back to the Home Counties to raise some kids (standard gentrifier lifecycle). You have to remember most of their priv school peers were likely becoming doctors / accountants / barristers / creatives / professionals and he was a recruiter and her pregnant, comparatively their set was a LOT worse and they were likely judged for that.
I’m not posh but was very academic, and I suppose ambitious. It sounds awful to type out but if a uni mate had gotten pregnant in final year and gone down that route I think it’d be inevitable your friendship would change / you’d lose touch eventually? You just don’t have as much in common, and the working mate doesn’t have the same amount of time to give? And tbh who wants to trek out to the ends to visit when you live with 2 other girls and can go have chaotic fun together, or have a boyfriend? Or can go to this food market or go see this play? It is the selfishness of youth, it’s normal?
I’m shy of 30 and pregnant now and would and can see it happening to me. All of my friends are ambitious / doing well (so was I, god knows how to define myself now) in their very varied industries, and unsurprisingly I am the first in my set of friends (not from my area or school, tbf kids from primary school had kids by year 8 so that happened decades ago) to be pregnant and it’s been quite an isolating experience in some ways? I can’t expect people to identify with every stage of my life & the decisions I make, but thankfully am self assured enough that the people who don’t (thankfully just had 2 dickheads and that’s another set of problems they have re their insecurittbh) don’t become my defining struggle story?
I’m not tone deaf enough to suggest because of that I am a child having a child either? I’m a fully established and independent adult who is choosing to pause my career & earning potential & tbh, social life to have a kid as my one non cancerous ovary is on loan from god
Sorry for the essay xxx
They could always sit in bountymargate’s old [new] bath...
I loved Claudia too, with all her chocolate bars hidden everywhere.
Probably they'll ask for recommendations for garden furniture soon hoping they will be gifted something "Guys, do you have any recommendations? Clemmie is pestering me worse than the twins asking for ice cream and complaining that we should renovate the garden and buy some furniture because lying on blankets makes our backs hurt more than the back of a camel which transported three drunk guys dancing tango on the camel's back. So if you know anything, tag it in the comments".
And we really need to show a before and after pic of something that has actually been renovated for our show off home account
You just can't fix stupid can you.
I wouldn't think that would be a laughing matter and it reminds me of a true story we got told in class, 3 year old had shoved an old battery into his nose. He developed an infection- the doc didn't ask if he'd been given tetanus shot as he'd assumed the child had received it before. (He hadn't). The child was given antibiotics but came back sicker- turns out the mother didn't believe in antibiotics either.
I'd worry about that can slipping...
Their body language is pretty distant and Clemmie looks like she is scowling - marriage tips indeed
