A woman just walked past my house with a Kermit the Frog rucksack. It was Kermit shaped, with dangly arms and legs. A grown woman! shock

It was all I could do to stop myself running out into the street and hurling a sack over her for her own protection.

Then I realised I was wearing a vomit-stained polo shirt, torn cords and Crocs blush. Couldn't leave the house.

My ex boss used to use a shaun the sheep one.

SHe dressed it according to the weather.

She wore disney clothing.

She boasted about shouting down a train at someone else with the same rucksack "look that sheep is naked!".

She wondered why I didn't massively respect her....hmm

Kidults! Love that. Yeah, kermit bag shite on an adult.

Perhaps she was taking it to her sick daughter who was in hospital and had opened her eyes just long enough to say Mummy I want my kermit bag.

She was with a man, no kids to be seen (and we're miles from a hospital, whoever it was trying to make me feel guilty grin). I didn't get a chance to check his tie but I'd put money on his boxers having a faded "D'oh!" somewhere on them.

I bet she had a navy blue velour tracksuit on with a winnie the pooh motif on the breast. It should not be allowed.

And cords! how do you expect to sneak up on kidults with your sack, in cords? They'd hear you coming a mile away.

[shakes head sadly]

You don't understand, coco. These are the sort of cords which are so old that the material where my thighs chafe is like gossamer.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
