I don't like partner..could be business or pleasure...ambi

You can call it 'Strawberry week'...'Arsenal's/any red team is playing @ home'..or 'fuck off you biatches I'm on my period don't test me!' week

'Kinell are we gonna have one of these threads every day?

RustyBear · 21/01/2011 22:59

Lissie - I hope you don't include 50 year old tiny teddies sitting in a rocking chair beside the bed...

I promise I don't dot my i's with hearts or any of your other pet hates (though at my age, it'd be pretty pointless to call sex baby dancing anyway....)

OracleInaCoracle · 21/01/2011 22:59

ilythia and the outfits match the ones they dress the teddies in too, "look, they're like twins" no they arent. one is a baby, the other is a stuffed toy. cant tell the difference? must've been all those decaff chemicals!

omg i have never heard strawberry week

if someone said that to me i would have assumed it was when they eat a lot of strawberries

k what's worse... auntie flo, or on the blob?

OracleInaCoracle · 21/01/2011 23:00

of course not rusty Grin I mean the ones that women cuddle after babydancing Wink

ilythia · 21/01/2011 23:01

and they have those giant impractical silver cross type prams with layers of lace and embroidered cotton hanging over the edge so the baby looks like it's being swallowed by the white laundered sheet monster.

thisisyesterday · 21/01/2011 23:02

they may also own one of these beauties

ilythia · 21/01/2011 23:02

Strawberry week???

That's like the other end of the spectrum from Rag Week

2blessed2bstressed · 21/01/2011 23:04

Ilythia - my friend has recently had a baby girl, and that is exactly how she dresses her...on the upside, it does mean she's stopped doing it to her dog Grin

Yanbu I also despise the term.

Had no idea it was associated with one particular poster though - I think it sounds horrible whoever uses it!

Why is there a good reason for said poster using it? Am curious!

Ooh do they wear t-shirts with such gems as "Baby on Board" and loudly proclaim "We're pregnant" at every sodding opportunity?
Sorry to barge in, it's a favourite theme of mine. :)

Mumcentreplus · 21/01/2011 23:06

lmaoo..but it sounds nice...

OracleInaCoracle · 21/01/2011 23:06

thisisyesterday, I feel a bit ill.

really, what the fuck is wrong with period and sex?

2shoes · 21/01/2011 23:06

lissielou thanks
do men actually say yes to babydancing, surely the manshape would be totally put of his stroke

OracleInaCoracle · 21/01/2011 23:09
Mumcentreplus · 21/01/2011 23:11

Mumcentreplus · 21/01/2011 23:14

Hubby it's time to baby dance...both those words would make some grown men shudder ...

2shoes · 21/01/2011 23:14

ilythia · 21/01/2011 23:15

pmsl@lissie and 2blessed.

Mumcentre, wipe your mouth out, surely having an orgasm discounts it as babydancing?

Mumcentreplus · 21/01/2011 23:15
