I was very pleased with a pair of shoes I bought recently.

DD said I looked like Monica from series 1 of friends, and said why didn't I get a brown lipstick and a pair of braces to round off the look.

I have yet to wear the shoes.

Stop her pocket money.

Sallyingforth · 07/08/2012 12:52

I'd rather have pmt one week a month than be a tosser four weeks a month.

You can still send her to her room can't you?

19 years olds are gits.

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 13:01

She would laugh if I said 'go to your room'.

She would be 'ooooh punishment' and saunter off upstairs to piss about on her iphone, emptying the fridge on the way.

It's like living with an arsy locust isn't it?

He shakes his head with disappointment at me a lot.

JennerOSity · 07/08/2012 13:11

Amazed anyone actually thinks PMT so bad as to make you incapable of rational thought is so common, all people who qualify as menstrual should be kept in check!

A few tummy cramps, maybe even a slight impatience for a day is hardly enough to warrant that. What a weird POV.

My DH gets worse PMT than I do no access to a button though

I get the shaken heads as well.

As well as the rictus grin when I am friendly to one of her mates. She lives in fear that I will start talking to them about music or something and act all cool.

Fat chance.

I love your DD Getorf. Grin
She should give you a list of suitable subjects.do you ever throw in amazeballs or something just to watch her flinch

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 13:37

Grin she is great. I think she was born sarcastic.

She nearly moved out when I shrieked LOLCATS when I saw one of the kittens asleep on top of the stereo and roared in the kitchen to tell her, when she was in there all mortified-faced with 2 friends making milkshakes. Grin

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 13:39

I love that story when your son told his mates that they were fine to park in your driveway and you came home to see some random car in the drive.

That is the kind of thing my dd would do. She airily makes promises all the 'yes come round, I know you have to be at home by 7am on Saturday morning, mum will drop you home'

Pagwatch · 07/08/2012 13:43

LOLCATS Grin

My friend's dad lent me his Shalamar album to tape. He was about 50.

She cringed.

I had no idea he fancied me until he left her mum a year later.

Mind you, his new piece was a mature lady of 26.

I was only 19 but old enough to realise he was a creep. God, are we back there again? Gin

limitedperiodonly · 07/08/2012 13:44

Obviously I mean Grin although I could murder a gin and tonic later

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 13:46

lol at Shalimar.

I spoke to dd's potential new boyfriend about Wretch 32. DD curled her lip at me. Actually I have not seen him since. I imagine she sneaks him in and hides him in the shed when I am not there.

Oh well.

BlueBirdsNest · 07/08/2012 13:47

my son likes the Human League......and spandu ballet

limited I LOVE the way you knew how to spell Shalamar correctly, you great disco queen.

limitedperiodonly · 07/08/2012 13:52

A fan of cheesy disco and a pedant.

Pagwatch · 07/08/2012 14:56

I met Shalamar

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 15:14

I met Boney M in Tenerife in the 1990s.

That bloke did that twirly Rasputin dance whilst we all clapped.

I geuninely love Boney M and have their greatest hits.

BlueBirdsNest · 07/08/2012 16:08

Brian Cant.

I am not sure why but I can't stop laughing at the 'genuinely' in the Boney M love declaration.
