18mo Ds is sitting having cake and watching cbeebies so can I come under? I only buy wafer thin ham and I've never heard of Boden.

Also, when I go out childless it's not to go for dinner or anything civilised, it's to go get drunk in the pub, followed by a club, wearing fake tan.

Join you if I can. and youngest daughter who has just wolfed down Tesco Lasagne (and yes I can make it but.... she prefers Mr Tesco's version) and is now chomping on a choc ice!

MadameOneSword · 26/11/2012 18:49

MyloMash · 26/11/2012 19:09

I don't tan all the time, just when I'm going out. And I buy it for £3 from semi-chem.

happybubblebrain · 26/11/2012 19:18

I quite often shop in Primark.
We eat lots of rubbish food.
I watch reality TV until it comes out of my ears.
We live in a crappy area next to crappy schools.
I own about 8 different types of fake tan but I'm too lazy to use it.

But

I have travelled the world.
I have a BA(hons) degree.
My dd goes to lots of classes.
I had a pony when I was young.
We own lots of lego, playmobile, educational toys and books.

Convert · 26/11/2012 19:50

mylo you can come under if you do shots when you are out clubbing!

MyloMash · 26/11/2012 19:53

I do shots! Not tequila anymore though.

AfishhCalledElvira · 26/11/2012 19:56

Loving this thread!

I shop at aldi ( and proud!), have laminate flooring, have a twiggy thing with fairy lights in my living room next to the brown leather sofa, wear fake tan, love TOWIE, swear too much...

Yet...I love my mooncup, have a fondness for clay baths, brown rice and lentils

Convert · 26/11/2012 20:00

I've had mornings when I can't actually manage to say the word tequila without vomiting Grin

UrbanSpaceManBaby · 26/11/2012 20:07

Just who are you people?

ladymariner · 26/11/2012 20:15

Oooh yes please to a Lidl Baileys, I love it, and if you pour it into a mug of coffee (the ordinary instant stuff) it becomes magical!
And I've got a leather sofa. And my ds was a really picky eater. And I want a tropical fish tank like my dad used to have.

Can I come in please?

ladymariner · 26/11/2012 20:16

And convert I'm right with you Grin

InNeedOfBrandy · 26/11/2012 20:17

YY i love bailys in coffee, no one in RL believes me its nice! It's also nice in hotchocolate.

ladymariner · 26/11/2012 20:21

Crumpets with cheese and butter and a mug of Baileys coffee on a cold day is just heaven!

happybubblebrain · 26/11/2012 20:22

Baileys in hot milk is delish - I drank loads of it whilst preggers - ha ha ha.

Convert · 26/11/2012 20:29

Baileys in hot chocolate. Why have I not thought of this before?
