my 2.5 year old is mesmerised by that advert.

horsemadgal · 14/02/2011 14:08

I'll need to watch it again now, missed that!!

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 14/02/2011 14:10

She has a fanjo like Mary Poppins' carpet bag.

Blacksand · 14/02/2011 14:11

LOL i assume you mean the bit right at the beginning Grin - maybe she has a very large pocket...

ShowOfHands · 14/02/2011 14:12

3yr old dd loves that advert. It reminds me of a Sim female mopping the floor. She would pull a mop out of thin air.

Grin at Chickens! I have never noticed before but will now!

TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 14/02/2011 14:16

I've never noticed it before

mrsinkpen · 14/02/2011 14:20

never noticed that bit before, just found it on youtube - laughed my socks off! Brilliant.

Getdressed · 14/02/2011 14:22

Oh yes, I have noticed that too. It always amazes me how she pulls the microphone from her moo!

Now found a new advers where she pulls out a very large bunch of flowers. Will it be shown on tv before the watershed? I feel a very strongly worded letter coming on. Now where did I put my judgey pants?

I'm sure there's plenty of mums who could give it a good go after their 3 or 4th DC's [grins] (I'm staring down the barrel of my 3rd vaginal birth in June gun).

LessNarkyPuffin · 14/02/2011 14:23

That would be handy. You'd never be caught in the rain without a brollie.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 14/02/2011 14:23

hee hee

no wonder she's got such a big grin on her face. Wink

Wonder what alternative career this might possibly qualify her for? Imagine the audition!

Well for a start she'd make an excellent roadie....

Would be great on a low cost budget flight. Beat the baggage tax.

Could traumatise the kids though chasing them at the school gates to give them their school bag that they left behind.

Am now thinking of the pro's & con's of this special gift....

.....Or their packed lunches

stillbobbysgirl · 14/02/2011 14:35

i always think that the close up of her 'mouth' when the camera is pulling back, looks like some giant underpants

but thats probabley just me

Sarsaparilllla · 14/02/2011 14:38

I can't stand that advert, I have to turn it off

Blacksand · 14/02/2011 14:38

We should get her on for a webchat.

No, husband & I both think the same.

MrsJamin · 14/02/2011 15:40

BeatriceLaBranche · 14/02/2011 16:23
