Not bathroomy things. Grin

But things like -

blissfully mopping up bacon fat with a slice of bed,

logging onto the Daily Mail Sleb pages,

not taking off your make-up at night,

wearing mismatching underwear,

letting the DCs have porridge for supper.

Obviously all these behaviours that should only occur BehindClosedDoors I have had to iresearch from friends, as I am entirely perfect and could live my life in front of a FlyOnTheall camera, with no fear of being judged.

Nothing wrong with any of that OP :D

i also like sniffing my dog's ears.

ILovePonyo · 11/02/2011 20:06

Right lets see - I never take my make up off at night either. My skin looks pretty good imho.

Yes yes yes to whoever said they sniff the crotch of their jeans to see if they get another wear out of them, I do this all the time, also leggings.

When dp is away I also only eat crisps/chocolate/macdonalds for meals. Good job he isn't away very often and cooks me proper dinners!

I'm sure there's loads more...

LadyInPink · 11/02/2011 20:09

YY to sneaky cigs too (had my first one this year and nearly passed out but it was worth it - probably only have 2/3 max a year as DH is asthmatic and i have to do it when he's away)

NorthernGobshite · 11/02/2011 20:12

I use dh's beard trimmer to shave my eyebrows (monobrow)

I eat a whole pizza all to myself

I read Heat magazine and have been known to enjoy Loose Women (Oh the shame Blush)

cocolepew · 11/02/2011 20:21

I never match my socks
I sometimes Frebreeze my jeans rather than wash them
I pick my teenage DDs spots
I push DH over in bed so the dog can sleep next to me
My tea for the last 4 days in a row has been dried frosties
I raid the DDs moneybox for cider money

LadyInPink · 11/02/2011 20:21

OWO - she sounds just like what my DD was like. Friends would comment 'on the boob again' but she was content so who cares Smile

maltesers · 11/02/2011 20:23

Eat Nestles condensed milk straight. . . .then feel very guilty.

cocolepew · 11/02/2011 20:24

I like to tuck my vest in my pants.

reinitindear · 11/02/2011 20:25

I never wear matching socks.
I go months without shaving my legs.
I have been known to eat and enjoy a pot noodleBlush

Jux · 11/02/2011 20:28

I rarely wear matching socks (and when I do it's by mistake). This is because when I used to do it by accident my MIL got so upset about it that I had to do it deliberately just to annoy her.

I also pilot a star-ship which patrols enemy space.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 11/02/2011 20:31

I dont think there is anything I do that I dont admit to. I over share Blush

cocolepew · 11/02/2011 20:33

Asdas pretend pot noodles are lush.

Sorry, didn't mean to post 2x

Heroine · 11/02/2011 20:42

ulp! I thought I was exempt until I read 'take tweezers to work' I am worse than that Blush I take toenail clippers to work! -at home no matter how I try there is always one that pings somewhere I can't find, and at work I'm so paranoid about other people finding it, I ALWAYS collect them all.. (this is all done in a cubicle you understand, I'm not that bad!). I even have this so bad that once in between jobs I took a toenail clipper out shopping with me Blush Blush Blush

Punkatheart · 11/02/2011 20:45

That sounds faintly rude to give your cat a squirt - but I have no idea why.

My OH and I make jokes about putting the chickens to bed and are they in their pyjamas? We even know what kind of pyjamas they might wear. It is one of those family jokes but it makes us look barking mad - well it would if it was made public...

...ooooops...

reinitindear · 11/02/2011 20:49

softpaw thank God you got the letters for ears in the right orderSmile

TastesLikePanda · 11/02/2011 23:47

So we're a bunch of Friends watching, supernoodle eating, chocolate eating, cake eating, curry eating, makeup leaving, secret smoking, pet sniffing, trash reading layabouts?

Yay! I found a spiritual home!
I did 5 kilometers on my exercise bike today - while watching friends on DVD - then ruined it by eating a whole bar of bubbly Galaxy for tea pudding Grin

Mumcentreplus · 11/02/2011 23:53

I love Chicken Super noodles!! Grin

Mumcentreplus · 11/02/2011 23:55

lololizzy · 11/02/2011 23:58

Socks rarely match
I have been known to put Nutella in cakecases, with jelly babies on top, and freeze them (and name them PooBabies- this was an 'invention' for me stepson; best PMS treat ever!
