Hands up, I am a boring person.
My life is a bit dull and I don't really do many interesting things on a daily basis. My dh is nice and normal, my dc are lovely and have no health problems and my family are on the right side of crazy. We have a boring car, go on boring holidays and have boring friends (whom I love, btw!).

So what??

If I want to post a thread asking how to get stains out of my Le Creuset, I am bl**dy well going to do it no matter what anyone says. If I had a more interesting life then I might ask advice on getting bodily fluids out of sequins thongs, but I buy mine from M&S and they are machine washable at 40 degrees.

I know that there are so many people on MN who have really difficult things to overcome and who are still nice, friendly and helpful to us boring posters. That is how it should be I think. And F*ck you if you don't agree

Oh dear, I think it's going a bit pear shaped on the Dolly Parton thread.....

sugarmatches · 28/09/2007 18:21

I can see that maybe some people on MN cannot appreciate our brand of immaturity.

DEAR MN GODS...I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT THREAD!!

codswallop · 28/09/2007 18:54

DANCESwithHughJackman · 28/09/2007 18:55

Come on girls, I have her trapped...lets talk le creuset at her until she caves...

sugarmatches · 28/09/2007 18:58

odd

I thought Lakeland does cookware

iota · 28/09/2007 19:01

does? or did I mean do?

sugarmatches · 28/09/2007 19:04

My dd just made me a lovely drawing of a rainbow. She must feel like an orphan now that I have found MN!!
I did just ordered Dominio's (online) for the child, what else does she expect??

Seriously, I sent dh for Wagamama noodles and I am quite excited...I am starving and really couldn't be bothered to cook. I was when he actually agreed!!

Well, I am off to eat and maybe play a game of Cluedo Junior before bedtime. Who stole the chocolate cake?? Love it!!

actually it is all getting a bit boring, time to spice things up a bit. correct me if im wrong, but i bet you lot have bought every "parenting" book on the shelves. you probably watch all that supernanny, & "how to bring up baby" load of rubbish. im the thick one around here, but i never watch/read that rubbish. parenting should come naturally. did cave women have supernanny books? no of course not, they just got on with it.

iota · 28/09/2007 19:15

cave people had the experience of the whole community to call upon, unlike our increasingly isolated selves

Lorayn · 28/09/2007 19:16

Erm, talulasmum,
a)I've never bought a parenting book in my life.
and
b) you should look at how this place gets going on supernanny type shows, especially bringing up baby.and
c)If you can't make your mind up whether youre going to play nice or slag us off, how about not playing at all?

DarthVader · 28/09/2007 19:17

yawn

Lorayn · 28/09/2007 19:17

Oh and I almost forgot, didnt cave men drag their women round by their hair
Is that what you want for talula?

Vikkin · 28/09/2007 19:18

I have fed the children to the dog. No, No, No, sorry I got carried away.
I have fed the children sensibly but I myself am now tucking into a plate of nachos with all the trimmings. It is Friday night after all. My Le Creuset remains spotless & shiny.
I am also listening to the velvet voiced Marc Cohn. Lovely..
But I do have to go and take part in the Friday night Scalextric tournament on the floor over there.
Back to bore you later. I also have some Tesco Finest saucepans I want to discuss.

Lorayn · 28/09/2007 19:19

We went to the chip shop and got saveloy, battered sausage, fish cake, chips and curry sauce for tea.
I'm pregnant though, it's allowed

Vikkin · 28/09/2007 19:19

See you lot are blanking me.
You've moved onto cavemen (well, not literally). I'm still on cookware.

Ellbell · 28/09/2007 19:20

This is how exciting I am... My (new) book is on sale today on Japanese Amazon (but oddly not yet available in the UK).

But anyway... let's talk Le Creuset... I always feel that after draining some veg and maybe a panful of pasta I've done the equivalent of a workout on one of those arm-muscle machines. So... yes, they cost a bomb but they save on gym membership!

Ellbell · 28/09/2007 19:22

Oh (and since we are talking 'what's for dinner') my caveman dh has made a hu-u-u-uge (Le Creuset) casserole dish full of bolognese sauce (some will be frozen) which we are about to eat. Yum!

talulasmum · 28/09/2007 19:24

but you shouldnt have to read a book, or watch a tv programme. a mum living in an isolated farm house in scotland, with out a tv maybe, and no wh.smiths down the road, just gets on with it.

lucyellensmum · 28/09/2007 19:25

lorayn, dont take on so - anyway, the theory was that in cave men days wasnt it the women who went out and hunted?

But anyway, ive never ever read a parenting book, i think they are responsible for a lot of unnecessary worry and self doubt.

But then i bet i'm the most boring person here - i have a phd in fly genetics and spent three years of my life counting flies and pulling their heads off!

Times never do change do they, here we are talking cookware, does anyone remember my toaster thread, probably not, i still dont have one, cant bring myself to spend the moeny, also cant bring myself to buy a cheap one! But i was just thinking that my mum was terribly exciting when she allowed me to go with her to a TUPERWARE party!
