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

Being Boring

If you ask me 'What's new?', I have nothing to say
Except that the garden is growing.
I had a slight cold but it's better today.
I'm content with the way things are going.
Yes, he is the same as he usually is,
Still eating and sleeping and snoring.
I get on with my work. He gets on with his.
I know this is all very boring.

There was drama enough in my turbulent past:
Tears and passion-I've used up a tankful.
No news is good news, and long may it last,
If nothing much happens, I'm thankful.
A happier cabbage you never did see,
My vegetable spirits are soaring.
If you're after excitement, steer well clear of me.
I want to go on being boring.

I don't go to parties. Well, what are they for,
If you don't need to find a new lover?
You drink and you listen and drink a bit more
And you take the next day to recover.
Someone to stay home with was all my desire
And, now that I've found a safe mooring,
I've just one ambition in life: I aspire
To go on and on being boring.

-- Wendy Cope

This is honest to god, my favourite poem, i am definately aspiring to that sort of boredom after a rough couple of years

mistypeaks · 28/09/2007 22:49

lucyellensmum · 28/09/2007 22:53

lucyellensmum · 28/09/2007 22:58

But it is just over the car park from Argos. But anyway, im going to stay home and wait for my betterware catalogue to plop onto the mat, it'l be kleeneze on monday, and then, ooooh Avon on tuesday wooooo

talulasmum · 28/09/2007 22:59

lucyellensmum · 28/09/2007 23:13

fuck me talula, have you thought, we could be neighbours!!! But hang on, my neighbour is a single polish guy, well??????

mistypeaks · 28/09/2007 23:20

ooh you lucky girl!!!

sugarmatches · 29/09/2007 00:10

There is an Asda and an Argos near me too...in Tottenham.
Are we all neighbours?

sugarmatches · 29/09/2007 00:12

I don't think it is a proper Asda though. And tbh, there are probably loads of places in London that have those 2 shops together

sugarmatches; tottenham.....fucking hell even i wouldnt live there!

lem; is the polish guy good looking?

Lorayn · 29/09/2007 12:10

I dont have asda, we only have tesco in town, about ten of them, but the parking is terrible, and DP prefers the pasta salad from sainsbury so we go to the next town.
We do however, have argos.
LEM, I love some country music, dolly parton is wicked!!
I also have some more recent alt-country like mary gaulthier and lucinda williams.
Actually I love a bit of anything really. My last.fm is always filled with totally contrasting stuff.

talulasmum · 29/09/2007 13:28

sugarmatches; back to your original op, ive never owned a pair of sequined thongs in my life thank you very much.
btw; theres a great one on here today.
aibu; "to want a cup of tea that isnt cold"
oh god bless you all

lucyellensmum · 29/09/2007 13:32

whats wrong with that thread talula, i havent seen it though, i would have been straight in there. There is a very fine line with tea and coffee for me, i dont like it too hot but once it goes too cold it makes me want to vomit.

I have been thinking about starting a thread entitled AIBU - to want to have a shit in peace? Now dd is potty training and clingy i dont even get to do that in peace anymore!!!!!

lucyellensmum · 29/09/2007 13:34

oh and the guy next door? nah, bypassed by the sexy gene im afraid. Hey ho.

talulasmum · 29/09/2007 15:14

lucy; lol shame about the polish guy, but actually i am "involved" with someone. he doesnt live with me so dont refer to him as my dp. not sure what you lot would call him.

lucky, some would say !!

lucyellensmum · 29/09/2007 15:15

ooh TM do you have a fuck buddy?

lucyellensmum · 29/09/2007 15:16

There you are, i've introduced a new acronym - FB = !!!!

talulasmum · 29/09/2007 15:19

talulasmum · 29/09/2007 15:22

lucyellensmum · 29/09/2007 15:27
