Just wondered what peoples kids do while they are on mums net. Some people are on here an awful lot even on sunny days when they should be outdoors.
I really am not judging- just curious.

Stick with me, MsNobody I'll keep you on the straight and narrow. Grin

Wait...socks and sandals...um...

SarahStratton · 15/08/2012 22:00

before I leave for pastures more intellectual...

Whassat then? Confused

actually I think you'll struggle to find a parenting forum that has more intelligent posters

Myinnergodess
Boden,manicure and nanny are not words I will associate with this site. Unless you are talking eBay Boden, acrylic nails and your nan.

Have you guys see Hawaii, every bad thing EVER happens there. 10 minutes after you arrive volcanoes will erupt zombies and the doughnuts will all be filled with crack cocaine.

SarahStratton · 15/08/2012 22:01

Let her pack her socks and sandals, Tee. We'll just confiscate the socks once we get there.

PacificDogwood · 15/08/2012 22:01

Is it childish to snurk at 'intellegent'?

All non-coffee drinkers could stick to rum'n'coke in Hawaii, non?

Mine are in a hotel somewhere in Brighton. Not sure exactly but I'm sure they'll find their way home!

Wheresthedamndog · 15/08/2012 22:02

Lord, op. don't dig yourself in any deeper.

Some of us do have a bit of eddication yknow. Kind of feel you're missed the point here.

Tee2072 · 15/08/2012 22:03

Okay. That's a plan Stratters.

Notcybermum give it up. You're not clever or smart or even funny. Actually, you're rather sad in your need to make yourself feel 'better' than everyone else here.

MN while DC's are : older 3, out playing, youngest one napping, or on a boring bus journey, or when toddler DS is playing independently and batting me away as I am interfering with his car crashes and helicopter rescues!

I DO play with my DC's, but as I'm MN'ing on the phone, I can check active threads and have a 5 min pootle here and there. It may look like I'm on here all day every day, but I just pop on for a bit then vanish again.

I don't get time to read a book, or do my cross stitch or card making, so I MN in 5 min doses here and there!

Now rum tasting has a much better ring to it. Come to think of it, the only time I liked coffee was when rum had been added to it so maybe I could combine the tastings...it would be more efficient!

TalcAndTurnips · 15/08/2012 22:03

Nonsense, Honey.

There'll be chaps in colourful shirts on the beach and Elvis and exotique flowers and surf boards and and and

11+ is the speed dial for Childline on my sons mobile.

Isn't there a coffee which has the beans chewed by wolves?

MsNobodyAgain · 15/08/2012 22:04

I'm adopting 'huzzah' as my word to use tomorrow. It will get it into as many conversations as possible.

Huzzah!

Tee2072 · 15/08/2012 22:04

Elvis? Hmm

No, but there is one that is pooped out of some animals behind and then roasted. It's like £2,000 an ounce or something...

CouthyMow · 15/08/2012 22:05

More intelligent posters? Try NM or Bounty. If you can bear the txt spk and the tickers.

Tee2072 · 15/08/2012 22:05

Here. Think I was kidding?

SarahStratton · 15/08/2012 22:05

Do you mean Kopi luwak? That's made from beans that have been previously eaten by civets.

Tee2072 · 15/08/2012 22:06

Yes, that. Cross posted. Grin

Dave Barry, who was a US Political Commentator and Satirist called it Gourmet Poopicinno.

CouthyMow · 15/08/2012 22:06

MyinnerGoddess - don't know about that, but there IS a coffee where the beans have been shit out by monkeys.

"Does this coffee taste crap to you?"
"Why yes, of course, isn't it so unique..."

Glittertwins · 15/08/2012 22:06

Hmmm, I think I'll stick to rum after all!

ThisIsNotHoneyDragon · 15/08/2012 22:07

Does anyone else now desperately want to see the op post in the education topic? They'll break her

SarahStratton · 15/08/2012 22:07

I've never tried it. It's on my List though. Grin

CouthyMow · 15/08/2012 22:07

Ha! X-posted!

Notcybermum what do your DC do while you're on here trying to belittle others?
