I would be a bit peeved to receive a shop card from an unborn baby

it could at least go to the trouble of making one itself. Not like it has a lot else on, now, is it? just lounging about, growing, the odd kick

tsk

Write threads with titles that don't tell you anything about the subject of the thread? Xmas Grin

And I have to click on all the crappy boring ones because sometimes they are funny like this one.

Sometimes it's good to have a...

...leader into the thread trillian.

Especially if it looks like giving someone a tongue lashing...

...is the rude meaning rather than just a boring old argument

AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog · 12/12/2010 17:03

Why hec?

I mean, why??

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 12/12/2010 17:04

I have no idea.

she likes toilets.

And sewage works.

And used to take us for picnics in the cemetry when we were kids.

I never stood a chance of being normal...

I must hold my hands up; have been putting 'from bump' to immediate family. Wouldn't put it on cards to friends. I feel slightly ashamed now.

AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog · 12/12/2010 17:10

I've always 'enjoyed' having a read of gravestones in cemeteries hec, very grounding.

And I suppose someone has to be interested in sewage...Grin

She sounds awesome.

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 12/12/2010 17:10

She's totally insane.

So yes Grin

BellaBearisWideAwake · 12/12/2010 17:11

I started a thread about alternatives to & bump cards

RevoltingPeasant · 12/12/2010 17:17

Is your mother Marcel Duchamp, Hec?

Maybe it's a postmodern statement...

trixie123 · 12/12/2010 17:30

i put it on a few cards to extended family who may not have heard the news yet but otherwise no, yuk.

Charleney · 14/12/2010 12:12

Everyone ive had an xmas card from this year has wrote that.. "To charleney, DP and bump" lol it makes me smile :)

kreecherlivesupstairs · 14/12/2010 12:42

Charleney, do they write the lol after it?
Simplest answer is not to send cards. We don't Grin

tinkertitonk · 14/12/2010 14:45

Give them a break. Maybe getting pregnant was difficult and this is their way of telling you some good news?

I think & bump is a step below people who sign the names of their pets too.

The xmas card from my mum is to us & bump, from them & dog....

tulpe · 14/12/2010 15:00

Not keen on "& bump" but I definitely cannot abide the "from dog, cat etc" in cards. Why does anyone want a christmas card from my dog??? It isn't cute. It is total naff-tastic :o
