I think we need to remember that AIBU can also be for daft things we discuss.

Where we 'escape' for a while, and forget our worries...

I do hope some of you feel the same.

My brain hurts (its very muggy at the mo) and wont work properly.

If anyone has a daft, giggle- rousing AIBU, please contribute.

I may disappear for a while, as pesky family require feeding.

Just when I decide to have an evenings mnetting 5 minutes peace, they want food. Why me ?

If I asked DH to bring home a shower hose he would bring several.

With no euphemisms either. Sad

Walking, in this heat ?

No way. Drinkie time, indeed.

I have discovered pear drop, fruit salad, kola kube and banana marshmallow ice pops. Delicious.

I am going to buy more tomorrow, along with some lolly moulds and vodka. They will become 'Mum-only icepops'.

The DCs are old enough to be left to their own devices while I get sozzled.

I also do the bra-swizzle thing.

Cannot co-ordinate my hands behind my back.

Will you be making vodka jelly shots too MrsV?

Sparklingbrook · 25/07/2014 18:26

Ooh we have those MrsV were they from Iceland?

Shower hoses are dangerous things. The last one sheared off in a dangerous fashion so DH went to take it down and it sliced the top of his finger off and we ended up at Minor injuries. Found a bit of finger in the shower after. Sad

MrsVamos · 25/07/2014 18:27

I think I may have seen some too, Maryz. Not in Tesco, on the tv.

Parrots, I think they were called. But I think they cost about a fiver and by the time its frozen you only get 1 glassful.

Vodka and poundland icepops are the way too go.

I wonder if I could granita them ?

i tried to make a gin and tonic lolly but drank all the gin! Sad

ginslinger · 25/07/2014 18:28

There you go showing off about your broken shower hose. There ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE SHOWER HOSES YOU KNOW.

ginslinger · 25/07/2014 18:29

DD bought me one of those parrot things when i visited. Didn't touch the sides

AuntieStella · 25/07/2014 18:29

"Oh hell no, this was no ordinary boob tube. It was extremely tight shirred elastic at the front and sort of boned at the back, if that makes sense. It was the 80's, that's all I'm going to say."

I think I had one like that. M&S of all places. Looked a bit like a Tudor bodice?

(I've always swivelled bras).

Ooh, I could, couldn't I ? Its supposed to be hot for at least another fortnight.

(not that the weather has any bearing on my alcohol consumption).

Sparks

Got mine in good ol poundland. Will remember to stock up when I pop to Iceland for my Greggs bits frozen essentials. Grin

Yes, walking to stay fit < sits up keenly>

I've been telling myself all week to get off my arse and power walk [off work all summer].

It's so hard AIBU to put it off til next week?

MrsVamos · 25/07/2014 18:33

I have no shower hoses. Only 1 broken one.

No euphemisms there, either. Grin

Yes Auntie mine was probably from Top Shop or Dorothy Perkins. OMG I might have a photo, I'll be back!

I quite fancied those parrot things, they look like alcoholic slush puppies.

Sparklingbrook · 25/07/2014 18:35

I know I am very lucky with my shower hose. I now have two as the old one wasn't broken just incompatible. Sad AND my new shower head has 4 settings not just 3.

MrsVamos · 25/07/2014 18:36

I've found its MUCH easier doing it by visualisation.

I visualise where I will walk too, huff and puff a bit and there you go ! Knackered.

Walk done.

I do regularly walk from the sofa to the freezer. That must count a bit, yes ? Grin

Aliceinvodkaland · 25/07/2014 18:37

oh excuse me i didn't know this was a quiche! Wink

Sparklingbrook · 25/07/2014 18:37

I should really go for my walk, but it will take me over an hour and it's way too late isn't it?

MrsVamos · 25/07/2014 18:38

4 settings ?

Mine had 2. On and off. Grin

I was showing OH how flexible I am yesterday. I brought my foot up to my chest, showing how I could do it without hurting myself. I then kicked myself in the boob, let go of my foot and it rapidly went back to its normal position, kicking myself in the chin in the process. :(

MrsVamos · 25/07/2014 18:40

Alice

Sorry, lovely, nor a quiche at all.

I had to stop making JD and coke ice pops.

They never really turned to ice, eventually !

AuntieStella · 25/07/2014 18:40

thornrose photos, you say?

Mine was black devoré. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Sparklingbrook · 25/07/2014 18:41

Grin £19.99 and four settings could be yours MrsV.

If I hoover the stairs will that be as good as a five mile walk?

MrsVamos · 25/07/2014 18:41

not

Back when I was young, slim, self esteem of Jack Nicholson, I bought a thong bikini to go on holidays. I was 26.
I tried it on in the changing room first and my god, was it uncomfortable. Until the assistant told me I had the bums on back to front Blush thought I was going to have to wax off all but one pube it was so small!

I'm safely in the sturdy 1950s-style waist-to-mid-thigh bums now still can't fit all pubes in much less frightening for the general public.
