over the bath and COOK letters over the cooker and BAKE over the oven went the whole hog and had PISS in large decorative letters over the toilet, FUCK or SHAG over the bed, ARGUE over the kitchen sink and so on?

Obviously I've been watching too many HOUSE programmes on tv and seeing all the lovely sparkly letters in other peoples houses.

What helpful words would you like to see.

BYEEEEE over the inside of the front door?

I'm thinking of BITTER and CYNICAL over the outside of my own house

Can I have NICE TRY for over the top of my make up mirror, and OUCH! for my bathroom scales.

MIL bought us "DREAM" "RELAX" and "EAT" for our house after we got married. They never made it to the wall. Now she's emigrated buggered off back home 12500 miles away we regifted them to her for her new place. Used the line "well we knew you loved them, so we bought you some too...now our homes can match" (we blue tacked them up in our place and took pictures before we left for holidays...)

I do have a fridge magnet which says "when in doubt, open the wine" (and it's also a corkscrew...)

Someone I know has 'love' and 'home' in her hallway, she's just proudly put a photo on facebook.

I want to go to her house purely to knock the fuckers down and spell out 'vom'.

DD1 and I had this conversation recently.

I want HOVEL on her bedroom door, STINKY on the bathroom door and UNWELCOME on a mat outside the front door.

How about WIPE YOUR ARSE above the loo roll holder?

I might get WAAAAAAHHHHH to go above dd's cot...

penguinsaresmall · 12/01/2015 13:33

rise I have a friend who has the same sticker over her bed! Shock.

Does your friend also have that one about 'dance like no one is watching, love like ... and all that kind of bollocks elsewhere in the house?

wowfudge · 12/01/2015 13:38

I know someone with a recipe sign written in large letters on the kitchen wall. Same recipe for years and years. I'm guessing it cost a fortune so they're in no hurry to paint over it.

All this twee bollocks is just awful.

I also can't stand it in pubs when they have 'humourous' quotes painted onto beams and lintels. Just a sign for the bar and another for the loos is fine, thank you.

elQuintoConyo · 12/01/2015 13:44

Not wooden letters, but I did make a small cuddly 'thing' (part bunny-part alien thing) for my friend that lives in her kitchen, it says 'beef' on one side and 'curtains' on the other Grin

davejudgement · 12/01/2015 13:45

In a local poncey shop they had a load of scrabble letter cushions on a sofa in the window.

Someone had rearranged them to spell CUNTS.

Hats off to that Grin

Gawjushun · 12/01/2015 13:56

Is it Tesco that have the big letters on their spices? Have seen lots of pics around the internet of obscene words made from them. [Grin]

I fucking hate Marilyn Monroe quotes and memes. They're all over Facebook and usually about the "MM was a size 16!" bullshit. I like old movies, just not sure why the obsession.

ZingTheGreat · 12/01/2015 14:01

I once was stuck behind a vehicle that was advertising something like liquid waste disposal.

FART above my husbands chair, he thinks it's there already

BeCool · 12/01/2015 14:09

CHANGE over every loo roll holder in the world

wasabipeanut · 12/01/2015 14:17

That stair signage makes me queasy.

AngelDreams · 12/01/2015 14:17

can i join in with 'real women have curves" - no darling, you're not curvy, you're bloody obese and being as round as you are tall is not a good look

AngelDreams · 12/01/2015 14:18

I need a loo one please, for the downstairs loo that doesn't like to accept any solids. Something like NO NUMBER 2S in pink glitter letters.

It will avoid the issues I have with babysitters bunging up the loo for me every time we go out anywhere.

How do i direct them upstairs for a big poo?

Marylou2 · 12/01/2015 14:36

I got some cream, distressed style blocks that said" love "a few years ago when this type of thing was popular.I liked then but DH and DD constantly changed them to VOLE or VELO after french class.According to them they were the height of naffness.Dispatched to the charity shop with haste.Post made me giggle OP.

my sisters office all seemed to have a big thing about those bland motivational posters so I got her a few for her wall heres
she says only about 10% of people actually notice the fact they are far from motivational

I want a "home" just so i can misplace the o and change it to "meh"

ghostyslovesheep · 12/01/2015 15:15

I am going to decorate my whole house with bunting Grin

Dazedconfused · 12/01/2015 15:22

Oh dear I was being a bit smug thinking thank goodness we don't have anything like the then looked on a high shelf and there is an ornament that is red and says "LOVE" with a heart for the o....It is beyond tacky and i have no idea where it came from but think it might have been a wedding present.

I would like seat down over the loo and grumpy tired bitch over the front door

Ememem84 · 12/01/2015 19:55

It's waitrose who have the spice boxes with big letters. Sometimes I like to play spice scrabble.

So far have done poo (parsley oregano x2 )
Foof (fennel x 2 oregano x2)
And I'm sure I've seen a shit. But can't for the life of me work out the spices needed for that.

I do enjoy also rearranging the scrabble cups in shops.

Going off on a tangent, dsis gave me a box of emergency googly eyes. So we take it in turns to vandal-eyes something at parents place. My best was an avocado. It lay watching them for ages.

ZingTheGreat · 12/01/2015 19:57

ghosty
