Recipe of the week

smithy's roasted beetroot: low-fat, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and generally nutritious and virtuous. This one-dish wonder is delicious and uses up some seasonal beets. What's not to like?

How dare they!
I was going to order some make-up on the basis of recommendations here. Won't get mac now. Harrumph.
Tis a silly approach for them to have. Because while almost everyone on mumsnet is a mother, the site covers a huge range of ages, incomes, occupations. Including some (not me) fashion forwarders.

well fuck them then. Might have to mention it to lovely mac lady on the counter as she will lose a bit of commission won't she.

Will it help to take her an anon print out of this thread maybe?

They should be more concerned with the 16 year old wanna be footballer wife slappers that cake on Mac makeup and look like trannie street walkers

no no NO word against them

we will send them love letters and swoon aroudn hopelessly after them, and make them compilation tapes on a TDK 90 with a lot of hidden mesages in them.

Maybe the intro could be the Paypal guy?
I think that would set the tone...

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page."
