they are heroically accomplishing while being SAHMs (cooking, washing, ironing, etc) are being at best naive and at worst disingenuous. Who do they think does all that stuff in the non-SAHMs' households, house elves?

Answer - language schools. I host foreign students in my attic. Get £1500 per month if I have 3. Currently have Brazilians in my roof but its def worth it plus they are very sweet.

Another three months and Sothebys and Bonhams are going to start a bidding war for my services.

I can defeat Satanic foodstuffs, and ignore 11ft ironing piles

TheCatInTheHairnet · 08/02/2012 14:36

I have nothing to add to this, except for the fact that TheBlueHoneyDragon, you really made me lol on page 4 Grin

Jins.

Go to any supermarket not currently under a boycott.

Buy seven packets of Victoria Sponge mix (8 if a large-bellied builder), one dozen eggs and four pints of milk.

Put all the ingredients in the bath and stir with a broom handle.

Invite builder in whilst wearing a flimsy nightie and lure him into the bathroom with suggestions of sexy time.

Push him into the bath and jab him with the broom until he is quite covered.

Lead him quickly to the sauna you have had installed and heated to maximum heat in readiness and lock him in there until he is nicely brown.

If I were to indulge in a spot of fanjo-waxing, it would probably be in the bathroom.

TheBluehoneyDragon · 08/02/2012 14:46

Hully

Buttercream or Fondant Icing?

justonemorethread · 08/02/2012 14:48

I spend most of my time being torn apart between feeling frustrated at the drudgery and feeling lucky to be able to be there for my children while wishing I could get back to my job sooner rather than later while knowing that each day that goes by I am less employable while also feeling guilty that I want to go back to work ('what's the rush your children need you'), then realising who would now be at home for the 5th day in a row while dd is off sick if not me while not being able to admit it in public or on mumsnet in fear of being accused of 'having nothing to moan about'.

Then I come on mumsnet for some light relief.

Anyway I think you're trolling around OP

ChickensGoMeh · 08/02/2012 14:51

I love being a SAHM. And both my DC are at school. And I FF. And watch 'This Morning'. And drink a lot of tea. And eat biscuits. I sometimes iron, but mostly not.

Hullygully · 08/02/2012 14:52

Builders don't look good in icing, MsHoney. You musn't overegg the pudding. A light dusting of icing sugar if you must.

I am really impressed by the satellite education programme. I am watching the West Wing so I will soon be The Fucking Queen and The President.

shagmundfreud · 08/02/2012 15:01

I got up this morning at 6am and made Hugh Fearnley Whatsisface's peanut butter cereal bars for my children's lunch boxes. Then went to work.

I am a domestic goddess. So there.

Hullygully · 08/02/2012 15:02

I watched that Emperor film once so I am The Emperor of All Lands What Have One.

TheBluehoneyDragon · 08/02/2012 15:02

I watched True Blood

I'm fucked

Pagwaatch · 08/02/2012 15:07

Nah, you watched Made in Chelsea Hully. You are a posh thick shagger.

Hullygully · 08/02/2012 15:08

Oh yes! I quite forgot. Can't I be a Posh Thick Shagger Emperor?

Emperor of the King's Road?

Whatmeworry · 08/02/2012 15:09

I thought teabagging was throwing teabags so they stuck on the ceiling. Imagine my surprise....

(Am wondering what iced buns are really all about)

astreetcarnamedknackered · 08/02/2012 15:09

Ask a man: who's better the WOHM Or the SAHM.
man: the one with the bigger tits.

Now, op, go away.

Pagwaatch · 08/02/2012 15:09

Yes. You couldn't be the King of Kings Road.

Hullygully · 08/02/2012 15:12

I might be King of the Swingers.

I have the pampas grass.
