I love Jeremy Kyle and I'm proud of it...

There. I've said it. I am a massive Jeremy Kyle fan and I don't care who knows it. Jeremy Kyle is not my guilty pleasure because I feel no guilt in liking it.
Never before has there been a program that can make you cry, cringe and laugh in a single 1 hour episode.
The people that appear on the show do wonders for my self esteem. I am safe in the knowledge that my teeth are clean, relatively straight and pretty much all there. That my hair has been washed within the last 24 hours and that my clothes are appropriate for someone of my size. I know exactly who the father of my child is (although more often than not, I wish I didn't) and have never had to guess between 5 or more possible men!
Don't get me wrong, I grew up and still live on a council estate. I am a single mum on benefits. I have had too many sexual partners to remember all their names and have sometimes been involved with more than two at the same time. I haven't always practiced safe sex, I've been so drunk I wasn't sure how I got home (or who exactly was lying next to me) and I've dabbled in illegal substances.
And this is why I enjoy the program so much. It shows just how my life could have turned out, had I taken a different path or become pregnant during a one night stand. It makes me grateful for all the good things in my life, and makes me glad that I got through all the tough times and didn't conform to the stereotype that living in my circumstances brings.
I've managed to drag myself out of being one of the dregs of society and am trying to better my life for the sake of not only me but my child too. I don't want to be here in 10 years time watching my own child on Jeremy Kyle, trying to figure out if he has fathered a child or not.
So until I achieve my goals, I'll keep watching every morning, and use the program to keep me on my toes and remind me of what could have happened.

And I'm Off....

WHEN IS CASUAL NOT CASUAL????

Ive been seeing someone on a casual basis for a few weeks now, but we had an argument this week as we both have very different ideas as to what casual means.

I should start off by explaining that other than in the bedroom, this "relationship" takes place mainly via text message and dirty pictures (although come to think of it, its only ever me sending the pictures lol)

Well, who knew that text messages could be interpreted in so many different ways. My interpretation of the message I sent was basically if you aren't really interested please let me know. Its been ages since we've actually had any sex, I thought that I really ought to check that he was interested and I wasn't wasted my valuable mobile phone credit in texting him all the time.

He interpreted it as me having a cop because he was busy. NO, that wasn't what I meant, I replied. I meant that you seem to be busy rather alot, and I was just wondering if you did actually want to have sex with me at some point or if you are just making excuses because you'd rather shag a donkey than come back to me again. ( I did have a very horrendous childbirth, involving lots of internal stitches, that still makes me wince when I think about it, so I wouldn't actually blame him)

This was then followed by a " you said casual as in every now and then". Actually, I think you will find that when I said casual, I was thinking that at some point we might actually have short conversation on the way to the bedroom (my idea of foreplay), before he completely ravished me and gave me enough orgasms to last until I saw him again in about a months time.

It appears that I must either have a high sex drive or be wanting a proper relationship, because apparently meeting once a month is a bit too often to be "casual". mmm let me think that one over... Nope, I still don't get it.
Surely once a month is not too often. If I was in a relationship, I hope I'd be getting it a hell of a lot more often than once a month, and if I wasn't I would definitely be asking a few probing questions.

So if anyone does actually know the answer to when is casual too casual and when is it a relationship, could they please let me know, because frankly I really cant afford to keep topping up my phone if I'm not gonna get a smile on my face at the end of it. xxx
