"9 sleeps till Christmas Eve"
Am I forgiven if I explain I was talking about how often to change the kids' bedding?

Just go.

SirChenjin · 14/12/2013 21:15

I don't think sorry is nearly enough. How could you?

AgentZigzag · 14/12/2013 21:18

Oh no, I always thought you were a really nice poster Stealth Sad

MN will be a poorer place without you.

SirChenjin · 14/12/2013 21:18

Will it though, Agent, will it?

PrammyMammy · 14/12/2013 21:19

:(

AgentZigzag · 14/12/2013 21:21

Well not around Christmas time SirC, obviously.

Nobody wants that kind of talk.

I bet the OP starts Christmas threads in AIBU in August.

MelanieRavenswood · 14/12/2013 21:23

YABU

It's 10 sleeps.

Only God Maryz can judge you.

Nice "knowing" you...

SirChenjin · 14/12/2013 21:26

You think you know someone, and then they pull something like this...

NorbertDentressangle · 14/12/2013 21:26

Oh SPB what can I say?

You've let MN down, you've let us down but most of all....you've let yourself down.

LEMisafucker · 14/12/2013 21:27

What is the problem with counting the "sleeps"?

SirChenjin · 14/12/2013 21:27

You have to ask LEM? Shock

RandallFloyd · 14/12/2013 21:29

Nothing wrong with it.
If you're Kermit the frog.

CrocodileScream · 14/12/2013 21:29

Surely it's 11 sleeps?

SecretSantaFix · 14/12/2013 21:30

It's 11 sleeps, by the way.

CustardOmlet · 14/12/2013 21:34

Thanks for ruining my day!

AgentZigzag · 14/12/2013 21:35

I don't like to say it Norbert, but the polar bears will feel she's let them down too.

They'll be, like, crying and everything.

And it'll be all the OP's fault.

I'm not sure I could live with that on my conscience.

MeanAndMeaslyMiddleAges · 14/12/2013 21:45

Only 1 more sleep if you're an insomniac.

NorbertDentressangle · 14/12/2013 21:50

Oh AgentZigzag, you're right! How could I have forgotten those poor, poor bears?

Let down by their namesake.

So sad. I don't think they'll ever get over it.

GodRestTEEMerryGenTEEmen · 14/12/2013 21:52

I, myself, have no problems with counting sleeps.

I, myself, count sleeps.

AgentZigzag · 14/12/2013 21:54

He knew he shouldn't have read the thread

SirChenjin · 14/12/2013 21:54

I notice that Stealth has disappeared. An update please OP, or are you too ashamed?

phantomnamechanger · 14/12/2013 21:55
