I think I'm definitely an outsider on MN, my kids arent gifted, we aren't rich, dammit we both have the work, full time! we don't live in a castle, shopat waitrose and certainly don't eat this good ham that y'all talk about Grin

Maybe I just go back under my rock?

Ooh me me me please!

I'm currently sat on my leather sofa in my "comfies" with I'm a celeb on in the background.

I still haven't lost my pregnancy weight 6 months after giving birth (or the pre-pregnancy weight Sad) or had my roots done for 3 months. My DD is grumpy and screamy and I'm considering CC.

In the past 2 weeks several of our dinners have been fish and chips, Indian, pizza or Chinese. We sometimes get a maccy d's.

We have feature walls, I have photos of DH's and my wedding and our DD on show. And I would murder a glass of Pinot Grin

Can't spel...how do you find that? Don't you have to take it all down when you need a wee...and don't ur boobs get cold when ur on the loo? Genuine question

anyone who is daft enough to buy them probably washes them in rain water gathered from local puddles and beats them with rocks collected from the beach

MadameOneSword · 25/11/2012 21:37

My child [whispers] won't eat houmous Blush

JugglingWithPossibilities · 25/11/2012 21:38

YY ! LIDL's fake Baileys is the bizzz !

Laquitar · 25/11/2012 21:39

Oh that's why i like this kind of threads! I didn't know that Lidl does fake bailys for £4, i'm going there tomorrow!!

And i don't like 'old furnitures' either.

cantspel · 25/11/2012 21:39

yes you do feel a bit like a toddler as you have to drop the whole lot to have a wee but i wear a t shirt under it so my boobs stay warm and i dont shock the cat.

I love my onesie. Cant sleep in it as my feet get too hot but it is ideal for wearing after my shower.

FeckOffCup · 25/11/2012 21:40

I have two primark onesies and yes your boobs do get cold on loo trips. If it gets really cold this winter I will probably put a t shirt on under it with loo trips in mind.

PoleyBear · 25/11/2012 21:40

CC is controlled crying Madame. Vair controversial on MN I've gathered!

cantspel · 25/11/2012 21:41

SomethingOnce I wont eat houmous. Bloody awful stuff looks like something the cat has boaked up.

Paintyourbox · 25/11/2012 21:42

Room for a little one?

We have a fake leather sofa, let our DD watch cbeebies (especially baby Jake!) and DP often buys those meat 'scraps' from tesco!

MadameOneSword · 25/11/2012 21:42

PMSL. Shock the cat!!
I don't think il go for the onesie, my concern would be getting trapped in it lol. Besides, what do your dp's make of it?? I think i already push the boundaries of attractiveness when I'm lying around In holy leggings and one of his t shirts with no bra on and wild hair lol

And I have a onesie.
And (this ones good) my 6 year old son has a FILLING!!!
Shock

MadameOneSword · 25/11/2012 21:43

l am actually having a proper baileys at mo.

cantspel · 25/11/2012 21:45

I am slipping ( ok already waist deep) into middle age. I have been married for over 20 years so my husband is just grafeful for any shag even if he does have to peel me out of my onesie first.

PoleyBear · 25/11/2012 21:45

Not quite that madam! It's more checking after a set amount of time so they know you are still there etc. not done it but the lack of sleep is making me consider it.

I'm going to have to NC now aren't I as everyone is going to hate me Sad

JugglingWithPossibilities · 25/11/2012 21:47

i'm going there tomorrow too laquitar - before they put the price up ( shhh ! I didn't say that ! )

InNeedOfBrandy · 25/11/2012 21:47

CC is controlled crying not till they vom. CIO crying it out is just shutting the door and let them cry it out till they vom and fall asleep.

MadameOneSword · 25/11/2012 21:48

Oh no entirely each to their own, I personally don't think I could, but wee used to night shifts lol

Oh god I am the least posh person I know. I don't have a nanny, a cleaner. I have a job with no prospects, a leather sofa, an overused playpen, a crap pushchair, I shop at Aldi every single week, I do cc, my dts are dressed so scruffy my mil said they should be smarter when I take them out (i.e not jogging bottoms), I drink cheap wine and last night was out till 1.30am giving it some welly to the Stereophonics on the dancefloor after drinking cider whilst watching the rugby. I say 'fuck' a lot and am quite glad 9 month olds can't talk. Must be cos of my neglectful non-interacting parenting. This is as I am usually doing housework due to not having a cleaning lady.

So shift over op it's great to be normal! Grin
