i miss smoking... weed

was such a long time ago,but i remember it so well...

also hate seeing babys under 6 months (before they can move) in jeans...not sure why,seems like once they start moving they might need thicker trousers for the friction or something...Confused

FriggFRIGG · 25/03/2011 22:03

smoking whilst pushing a buggy.Angry
and, nail extensions,hair extensions,fake tan,too much makeup...awful,just frigging awful.

boosmummie · 25/03/2011 22:54

Evening all,

yup, yup, yuppity, yup to pretty much all.

Frigg again this week you appear to possibly be me Grin

yup. You're in a chinese. Drink beer FFS. Or Vodka. But not pretentious wine snob crappery. Please.

This may be unpopular, it may not, however because of my accident today I suggest that NOONE cleans their patio doors in the summer. I cleaned mine today so bloody well that I walked into one. It fucking hurt. DD3 peed herself laughing and I almost peed myself crying. Just leave them with sticky child marks so you know whether they're open or closed. I am not a lazy slattern, however I will now make an exception with the windows.

allsquareknickersnofurcoat · 25/03/2011 23:23

ROFFLE!! I dont actually remember the last time I cleaned my windows Grin Was gonna do it this week, but you've convinced me otherwise now!

Frigg One of my neighbours (possibly more, lol) smokes a considerable amount of weed and it smells goooooooood

Heres one that may be unpopular for my DH - I have a sneaky feeling I am pregnant! Surely its just wishful thinking though.....?

Ooooooooh allsquare that's very exciting. I would love another, but I think I'm a bit old now, newly single and I have 4, so will be a miracle if I do...

I love the smell of weed What splendid neighbours Grin

allsquareknickersnofurcoat · 25/03/2011 23:31

Lol, well I'll find out soon enough. I'll have to pop over to the conception boards and see if I can gather up some "baby dust"
God I hate that phrase!

I also love smoking despite the fact I have to perform 5 songs tomorrow night and my chest is hurting. I'm using the excuse that because 3 of the songs are in French (Piaf), the gutteral sound that will come out will add to the authenticity of the role.....

boosmummie · 25/03/2011 23:37

allsquare do NOT say that again on this thread, or any that we both frequent.

Shakey I love your logic!

Right ladies, tis half midnight (allsquare I am and HOUR ahead of you ok) and I must go to bed. So far, so no shitty crap on here. Very happy at that.

NEVER laugh at my window smashing antics again. I told you merely as a friendly warning, not for your amusement.

I bloody hate jargon - and there is a fecking great abundance of it doing the rounds in education. It's all meaningless shit. Formative Assesment is great in theory (well actually I don't f--king buy that) but it's not much cop when you need to present concrete evidence to parents.
I'm not going to go into detail here ..... I would direct you to TES.

But Scottish parents - get yourselves educated about Curriculum for Excellence. Seriously.
It's all going to go arse over tip. End of.

Salmotrutta · 25/03/2011 23:47

Oh - and on a frivolous note:

I kill any spider I find invading my space - little bastards.

OK - not really frivolous but I hate spiders. Who needs 8 legs anyway?

boosmummie · 25/03/2011 23:49

I'd like it if lobsters had 8 fat claws as they are tasty. Crab claws too. But I don't eat spiders so I'd rather they had just the two. They would probably be easier to catch then.

SueWhite · 25/03/2011 23:54

All DH Lawrence novels are rubbish Lady Chatterley is only famous because it got banned.

Salmotrutta · 25/03/2011 23:56

LOL -

I've had wine ...... I may be a bit tiddly!!

Salmotrutta · 25/03/2011 23:58

Hah! - YY Sue I tried to read DH Lawrence. Bloody impenetrable pretentious crap.

boosmummie · 26/03/2011 07:21

Morning all,

I'm up too early so I think I will eat some healthy Jaffa Cakes for breakfast. I believe that we are all in agreement regarding their fabulous nutritional value.

I may need to wash it down with a red bull cup of sweet tea. Or something.

Small child decided at 6am that nappy required changing. Damn selfish IMO. Grin

WMDinthekitchen · 26/03/2011 08:00

I like men

baskingseals · 26/03/2011 08:12

i like men from a distance

it's when they are up close and personal they start annoying the fuck out of me

YouTry · 26/03/2011 08:21

To be honest, I'm not that keen on most men. They're so twatty (I know that's a physical impossibility!).

I hate people that discuss babies who think there are concrete rules e.g. "You don't need to give 4 month old babies night feeds"... unless you want me to call 4 o'clock the morning and get up, yes I do. If you want to leave feeding her til 7, you look after her. Yes, mum, I'm talking to you!!

MoonGirl1981 · 26/03/2011 08:26

I can't stand women who wear earphones whilst pushing a pram - talk to you fucking child!!

Wearing tights/leggings as trousers. The (ahem) 'larger' ladies round my way do this and I feel that it is not a good look.

Agree with fake tan and nail extensions looking cheap and chavvy.

I love tattoos. I have three which are beautifully designed and cost a lot of money. I'm very proud of them!

jetmonkey · 26/03/2011 08:35

People who think home schooling is a good idea at primary school age - it isn't. Send your child to school and just SUPPORT them.

Pavements blocked with cars / bins / whatever are so annoying

YouTry · 26/03/2011 08:51

Oh, yes to the pavements! Can't walk anywhere with my fancy designer pram Wink

I think with the wine you are tasting whether it is 'corked' which means air has got in and it tastes like vinegar. Am happy to be corrected, got that off my husband and he may well be talking bollocks!
