everyones child has a toy called sophie....

I don't want to talk about baby food and really don't care what kind of bloody pram you have got.

How can that 'Yummy Mummy' bag be any compensation for not being able to carry a proper handbag anymore..

'would you like a drink'

'I'd love a coffee..'....
.'yes we have some de-caf,'
(I don't want de-caf I want fucking caffine you cunts)

I agree. I completely avoided the yummy mummy thing.

fanjofarrow · 07/11/2013 18:40

You are not being unreasonable and are deffo not alone! Grin

ILetHimKeep20Quid · 07/11/2013 18:40

That Sophie is so lame and screams desperation!

BadgerBumBag · 07/11/2013 18:41

Love Cath Kidston but what is with the decaf!!!! Grrrr

ToriaPumpkin · 07/11/2013 18:42

My son hated Sophie. Really couldn't abide her. I failed at the first yummy mummy hurdle!

ViviDeBeauvoir · 07/11/2013 18:43

Grin @ 'I don't want de-caf I want fucking caffine you cunts'

And YANBU.

KillerKoalaFaceFromSpace · 07/11/2013 18:44

Oh god, who is this Sophie? She sounds like a twat.

ILetHimKeep20Quid · 07/11/2013 18:45

She is the smuggest giraffe ever to be.

Geckos48 · 07/11/2013 18:45

On the subject, who the fuck is Cath Kidson?

LonelyGoatherd · 07/11/2013 18:45

I love Sophie. I love caffeine. I love some Cath Kidston designs.
I hate that yummy mummy bag, and talking about prams and weaning makes me want to weep. That's why I'm on MN all the frickin' time!

Phineyj · 07/11/2013 18:47

Sophie is quite satisfying to smash on hard surfaces, let's be honest.

YANBU, I would have died without caffeine and I had to get decaff in for those kind of people's visits!

ILetHimKeep20Quid · 07/11/2013 18:48

Smug

Phineyj · 07/11/2013 18:48

OP, you may want to avoid Southwold. My colleague described it as 'Cath Kidson-on-sea' Grin

PoppyWearer · 07/11/2013 18:50

I am 1000% with you. Those Yummy Mummy bags are hideous beyond belief.

WTAF is the point of decaf coffee anyway? Why bother?

BEEwitched · 07/11/2013 18:51

I googled Sophie the Giraffe and was fully prepared to tell you that YABU because I love giraffes but holy crap, what a hideous thing! How can you possibly stuff up making a cute toy giraffe, FFS?

I was considering Cath Kidston wallpaper in my new kitchen and decided against it, too twee by far.

Elsiequadrille · 07/11/2013 18:53

Don't mind the other stuff so much. But talk of baby food and prams - do bore off!

KillerKoalaFaceFromSpace · 07/11/2013 18:53

Oh! That vacant eyed 60s toy?!

I do quite like Cath Kidston I must admit.

But my blood is 78% caffeine. And I find cake too yummy to be "yummy".

anonpost · 07/11/2013 18:54

Hey, leave Sophie out of it! My friend bought DD one back from Paris, best teething toy ever!!

The rest of it I agree with, yummy mummy bags are naff and decaf coffee is pointless.

Elsiequadrille · 07/11/2013 18:55

I drink decaf, with rare relapses, but was for health reasons (IBS - pains were only symptom) which has been miraculous almost.

anonpost · 07/11/2013 18:55

Oh and Cath kidston is a load of twee crap..so over the vintage/shabby chic.

ILetHimKeep20Quid · 07/11/2013 18:57

Emma Bridgewater seems to be next in line to the covering stuff in polka dot crown

mortuusUrsus · 07/11/2013 18:57

Sophie is hideous and my DD loves hers, the fecking bloody traitor. .

mortuusUrsus · 07/11/2013 18:58

Emma Bridgewater's already been and gone, unless she's going to have a second boom. Bladdy cah.

PeriodFeatures · 07/11/2013 18:58

I'm not alone.

Is all of the NCT like this?

Yanbu. I feel like I should join Playgroup Rejects Anonymous.

We have a Sophie. The dog loves her.
