And the out of hours refused to see lambrini. She looked desperately unhappy and I am v worried about her...

BellaOfTheBalls · 30/05/2012 19:49

AIBU to think my friends hatred of the Daily Mail is unfounded? Its clearly source of well-balanced news.

SoozyWoozy · 30/05/2012 19:49

All of my DCs are in bed. My eldest has just run a scalding hot bath with no supervision. Its ok to pop to the convenience store off licence for some milk lambrusco blush, isn't it?

taking your pfb to the doctor because they coughed - twice.

Somebody has just slammed a car door and it's nearly 8 o'clock and I'm trying to concerntrate on being on Mumsnet. How inconsiderate of them. Oh it was DH. that's no excuse though.

CockyPants · 30/05/2012 19:51

I find Jeremy Kyle to be a highly informative programme. Anyone who disagrees is quite clearly uneducated. Probably went to a state school too..

manicbmc · 30/05/2012 19:51

never ever ever ever using any punctuation or paragraphs

DrowninginDuplo · 30/05/2012 19:52

Cockypants. - I did at that. But I'm, I'll have you know, considerably more educated that yeeeeeeeew.

Well soozy you are obviously being an irresponsible parent. I am sitting in my garden less than 100metres from child bedroom with a baby monitor and getting pissed up on thunderbird.

EdgarAllenPimms · 30/05/2012 19:56

can i mention F4J as well?
what a lovely group of men.

naturalbaby · 30/05/2012 19:56

I'd love to but am off out for a bit....this better still be here when I get back .
I'm just wondering if I would BU to leave ds3 asleep in his cot tomorrow while I nip out to fetch DS1 from nursery? It's so inconvenient to wake him, drive down the road, drive back then spend the rest of the afternoon trying to get him back to sleep so I can return to MN.

SoozyWoozy · 30/05/2012 19:58

Ok, I'll stay here and send the DCs to get the booze. They only have to cross one major road, after all.

CockyPants · 30/05/2012 19:58

I hope you have done a proper risk assessment on that, natural baby. But since you ask, it'll be fine, won't it everyone?

DrowninginDuplo · 30/05/2012 19:59

Hell no, I frequently gaffer tape mine to their beds so no harm can come to them whilst I pop to the offie. Wrecks havoc with their excema though, but better safe than sorry.

I thought you were meant to give them a bottle of coke if they cried at night? And of course you shouldn't put rum in it until they are 2.

DrowninginDuplo · 30/05/2012 20:09

No, but you can start them on the G&Ts when they are one though

I do wish little Lambrinis teacher would stop telling me that my daughter is rude and disruptive in class. Can't the school tell that she is GIFTED and SPESHUL?

DrowninginDuplo · 30/05/2012 20:24

Poor Lambrini she is clearly an indigo child

OP posts:
HerRoyalPointyness · 30/05/2012 20:25

I thought they were rainbow these days? And Lambrini is such a common name, why didn't you call her Babycham?

CockyPants · 30/05/2012 20:25

Why yes she is Duplo. She is running Mensa single handedly.
