I can't believe that thread went on for 17 pages malcom

Background info.
yap is apparently yes.
Like kk is ok.

I also hope this is a wind up.

I saw a shop in North London yesterday called Sam Widge

We said no pets until DD was old enough to take some responsibility for them.

Is bug in jar woman the same as hamwidge woman?

best you don't get any pets then op

Yes empress

Another of life's problems that could be solved with a cat. £5 a week for my pair. And they groom themselves.

And I might be shamelessly marking my place.

There used to be a sandwich bar in my local city called Mr Sam Widges.

Brilliant. So the wasp, miraculously recovering from its bath of red wine but with the red now disguising its waspness, struggled to consciousness only to be mistaken for a bug, caught and put in a pot....

rolf mumnets love bread

Hah!

Nope. Too soon for another pettel thread. Like those simples or go compare adverts, first one was vaguely amusing. Two so close together is like a club yourself in the headwidge

Club
Head
Club

God help us!

I can't be drawn back into this parallel universe.

Yap!

This was mildly amusing the first time round. Now it is just dull and predictable.

Back so soon pettel?

Rolf? You have a laughing floor? Or is that the bug's name.. ?

I agree with Malcolm

These threads are silly, not funny.

what the hell was the point of all this? its a bug in a jar, its not like she went and caught a snake and tried to keep it in her lunch box!

Pettel, get your daughter some robotic fish, then she can pretend they are real! Alternatively my dd's 4 and has newts, they take next to no effort to look after (just feed once every 2-3 days and clean occasionally) she looks after them herself.

Some of my posts have been deleted, I didn't say anything rude , goady or untrue yet this whole stupid bloody thread is still here.

I'm totally with TotallyBursar on this.

Totally - I think I might love you. Completely brilliant post and I 100% agree with all if it.

What kind of bug was it?

That's really important.

Ladybirds like greenflies (so get some more pots and catch some of those bad boys)

Whereas flies eat their own spew.

Most bugs only live for a few days anyway. I'd set him free and get her a hamster instead. Much less faff.

waist deep piles of liquid shit , so true!

rosepettel hope you read that before it's zapped!

Sorry, just caught up.

i can sympathise.

My dd is dog-obsessed at the mo. But i neither want a dog nor can i get one as i live in a block of flats with no garden.

So i let her make a little dog-project book. We watched doggy films, watched clips on youtube, Googled how to care for pet dogs, visited the park and stroked various doggies (with owner's permission of course), dd did sketches of dogs, she wrote little stories about them etc etc.

So i clipped it all together and put it in a folder. Now whenever she starts whinging about wanting a dog, we get out her little dog-project, give it a look, and discuss again why we can't have one.

Might be worth a shot?

(replacing the dog with bugs of course)

I've just taken delivery of 5 little bugs......caterpillars. They dont have names yet.

Get her some, not much to do, she gets to look after them for a few weeks then release as butterflies.

rosepettel.....Is English not you're first language ?
