Its amazing how our parents happily fed us total shit.

MadameCh0let · 03/04/2008 20:42

I can't believe how many of you have a blanket ban on mcdonalds. Never, ever. What good mummies you are compared with me. I'm sh1t.

But saying that, when I was there earlier, I wouldn't take the box that the happy meal came in because I couldn't believe the unnecessary packaging, and then I took the plastic dish my CS salad came in home with me so that I could recycle it... so maybe I should also just say never ever at all ever as well.

I obviously hate the place. And yet I gave them 9 euro today.

lololol at Angel Delight

DS came home covered in Bob the Builder cake this evening - he had a lovely day

SorenLorensen · 03/04/2008 20:42

Ds2 used to call it Old McDonald's but not any more...because ours has closed down, gone, kaboom, disappeared. Perhaps I live in a MN stronghold without knowing it...

Fullmoonfiend · 03/04/2008 20:42

we let our boys go with other people, while all the time making references to the Evil Clown every time the ads came on telly= 2 kids who don't like mcdonalds' food anyway and who now have massive clown phobias....

DJCod · 03/04/2008 20:44

FrannyandZooey · 03/04/2008 20:44

pmsl at "doughnut" HC, there's a girl after her mother's heart - it'll be party rings next, you mark my words

I am bearing up, am actually LOOKING FORWARD to the holidays (last day of school tomorrow!) because at least I won't have to wrangle with ds1's well-meaning but [insert expletive here] teacher

how are you? and are we going to drag Franny out and meet up again over the summer some time?

at the meat paste sandwiches moondog, that is a bridge too far for me - is she Mary Fucking Poppins in every other respect?

glucose · 03/04/2008 20:45

The spiderwick toys and the Monopoly drag us in at the moment.

FrannyandZooey · 03/04/2008 20:46

you can't drag me out
I am a big old heifer
you can come and walk round me and admire me from all angles

moondog · 03/04/2008 20:46

I'm boiling up the soapnuts in anticipation of scrubbing them to within an inch of their lives F&Z. I will cleanse and purge them,so help me God.

oh yes, that's true, you must be getting very very fat indeed by now

let us know when you are getting enough sleep to be able to tolerate visitors, then we can Descend On You and give you weird tatty gifts, and eat you out of house and home again

moondog · 03/04/2008 20:48

She is Mary Poppins. They plant things,they go for walks, they cook.

She arranged a trip to fire station and a trip to air ambulance in space of a month. Kids got to go in both and arse about with hoses and stuff. She didn't have to do that,she could have them parked in front of tv all day and just take the cash.

My mate reckons her definition of being on the skids is eating paste sarnies.

I am never having visitors again
you can come and carry me around in a sedan chair and take me to the finest tea shops

Fullmoonfiend · 03/04/2008 20:51

We have world-class tea shops here you know? Get your minions muscled up for a journey up here

Greensleeves · 03/04/2008 20:51

HC I think Frannsy's ds would refuse to go in

Tea shops fine (scones+jam+cream), but you can hire some little men to carry the sedan chair

Oliveoil · 03/04/2008 20:52

lolololol

we go sometimes, depends on the toy

apparently the chips are "quite horrid mummy"

no biggy imo

FrannyandZooey · 03/04/2008 20:53

his innocent little heart does not know the depths to which McDs can sink

he had to have dinner in a supermarket caff today and said "I'll have a salad. There's no way anyone could make a SALAD badly."

FrannyandZooey · 03/04/2008 20:54

and it is not a wee baby it is a whopper
possibly a McWhopper

cheesesarnie · 03/04/2008 20:55

did you ask if they used the tiolets whilst there?

Janni · 03/04/2008 20:58

You're bloody lucky to find a CM prepared to put up with you. Ceviche, my arse.
