I am lounging in bed....day orf. Later I will be picking up my niece who is coming to stay this weekend.
She is bringing a bag full of woes and I am meant to be an impartial Aunty this weekend but make her see sense . Mmmm 
1) All men are after only one thing
2) Your parent (s) have your best interests at heart and is (are) not evil
3) Skool/university are the best years of your life ~ don't squander them
4) The World is not against you
5) There are plenty more pebbles on the beach/fish in the sea (use as appropriate)
6) Exams are important but you can always try again next year. Learning and gaining qualifications is a lifelong requirement
7) The ability to earn a living is no longer a matter of one career path
Admitting that you may not always be right is a gift to be treasured
9) Drink, drugs, nicotine are all addictive but they are habits that you can conquer if you wish to
10) Being tidy and clean is NICE
11) You don't need plastic surgery to increase/decrease the size of your tits ~ no matter what size they will always serve their intended purpose
12) Your mother is NOT the Wicked Witch of the West and she does love you
13) You only get out of life what you are prepared to put into it
14) Life, no matter how bad it seems, is worth living as you never know when the sun will shine into yours
15) If all else fails there is always chocolate and alcohol
Hope that covers it ..... In my experience it does ....... eventually.
