Collect the premier league stickers, mad on footie and have been doing the books since I was like 10.

NoMoreSexyTime · 22/12/2019 22:36

Suck my thumb.
We have an understairs pantry, I love hiding in it and jumping out at dp or ds and scaring the shit out of them.
I've been known to write a lot of swears on top of each other so it just looks like scribble, it's very cathartic.

I stick my finger in my husbands mouth when he's mid yawn then laugh at myself being so funny while he rages I ruined a good yawn.

Also farts are hilarious.

I'm also guilty of giving the finger through walls and muttering profanities about whoever has pissed me off then acting like whatever not arsed.

I've just realised for someone mid 30's I'm really mature

Read famous five books Grin

VanyaHargreeves · 22/12/2019 22:48

I do the sticking two figures up out of sight thing but only to one exceptionally cunty colleague. Gets me through the day.

Play with lego.
Play at the trampoline park/climbing place/inflatable at the swimming pool.
I've asked for a scooter for Christmas this year, there is an appropriate sized parcel under the tree. I am very excited!

Sleep with my teddy
Do handstands and cartwheels
Climb trees
Make my husband jump whenever I can
Eat all of the cake mix left over in the bowl 😋

Whatsacill · 22/12/2019 22:56

Squeeze the washing up liquid bottle after I use it to make little bubbles

zandapanda · 22/12/2019 23:00

Get really excited and shout Squirrel!!''whenever I see one

firstimemamma · 22/12/2019 23:03

Licking the bowl / wooden spoon after baking.

I don't like being followed up the stairs. I've got this weird thing - it feels like they're going to chase me and I want to run! In public places I'm fine but if my fiancé follows me up the stairs in our house I squeal, giggle and run up the stairs like a right weirdo!

Enjoying children's films.

Lillygolightly · 22/12/2019 23:07

I like to cut my sandwich or toast into little squares or triangles.

I usually like my tea strong, but when I’m having a hard time I like to make it milky with sugar like I had when I was a child.

I never had a teddy or blanket as a child but I do love to sleep on my tummy and half way down the bed.

I have to sleep with the TV on otherwise I get scared.

MindYours · 22/12/2019 23:07

I still won't put goggles on and look underwater when in a swimming pool incase I see a great white shark

findthelight · 22/12/2019 23:10

Watch the Snowman every Christmas without fail. Still find it magical!

firstimemamma · 22/12/2019 23:20

I wrap presents like a child. I can never get it neat!

Waxonwaxoff0 · 22/12/2019 23:23

I don't eat the pizza crusts.

GingerTum · 22/12/2019 23:25

In my 40s and still suck my thumb. Also have my childhood teddy right next to the bed - he used to be in the bed with me but DH kept squashing him Bear

MysweetAudrina · 22/12/2019 23:27

Suck my thumb every night and will never stop. Only the right one, the left one is rotten.

letsgomaths · 22/12/2019 23:29

DH and I have been known to play blind man's buff in the park. I'm better at it than he is - I can move really quietly. When he's "it", the poor mite can't see or hear where I am - I once evaded him for more than ten minutes, in a small area, and I was regularly calling out "here I am!". When it's my turn to be blindfolded, my directional hearing is very acute, and I can usually catch him before long. Smile

Paddy1234 · 22/12/2019 23:34

Eat the chocolate off a tunnocks tea cake and then the biscuit and finally the marshmallow. I am in my 50's.

WhoisitnowRalph · 22/12/2019 23:35

I find farts hilarious, and as my own are pathetically quaint I live vicariously through my DH's trumpety arse. So much so, that he wakes me in the small hours especially to provide me with a spectacular ad hoc rendtion of which he will be immensely proud, and at which I will cackle uproariously.

I'm 47 and he's 49. So puerile.

DoTheNextRightThing · 22/12/2019 23:39

Roll down hills. It's so fun!

I think I have a lot of childlike wonder still in me. It makes life more joyful.

Scarletoharaseyebrows · 22/12/2019 23:41

If my husband is away, I take Ted to bed.
And I count sleeps secretly. And I leave crusts when nobody is looking.

DoTheNextRightThing · 22/12/2019 23:42

@firstimemamma oh thank god it's not just me! I hate people walking up the stairs behind me. Worst part is that DP knows and intentionally chases me.

Milanimilani · 22/12/2019 23:54

I love the big children’s books with pictures. Causes lo to shake her head at me.

RiftGibbon · 23/12/2019 00:00

Pull faces behind people's backs, flick the V's at people who annoy me (but so they can't see), draw over the faces of models in magazines, eat sweets, skip...
