"Do NOT let this woman sit on your child." pmsl

Nah, def a lab, retreivers are diff to that

bodybag, if it helps, my sil is size 22 and 18 stone, and insists on jumping (wildly) and rolling around on our trampoline, with all 3 of my dcs (who weigh 2, 3 and 4 stone ish), and any assorted other children that may be around. i know that this exceeds the weight limit on the trampoline, i know it is an accident waiting to happen, but whaddya say? 'oooh, no, don't do that, you're too fat?'
there but for the grace of god.
poor wee horsey. but she does sound like an auntie that your dcs will love forever as she is soooooo much more fun that stick in the mud mummy who won't ride a horse or bounce on a trampoline becasue of health and safety.
ah well.
enjoy the doggy. no harm done, eh? in this long cold winter of discontent you might need a bit of extra firewood anyway...

I have a big blue elephant (or is it a hippo?) if you would prefer??

Ooh or DSSis has a wooden harley rockin bike??? (would be too small to get a Very Large Arse on so no danger of flattenisation)

combustiblelemon · 29/09/2008 15:51

Did you secretly weigh her Romy?

harleyd · 29/09/2008 15:51

i want a wooden harley rockin bike!

Romy7 · 29/09/2008 15:55

combustible - believe me, there are no secrets lol. we get heavily involved in whichever diet is in progress at the time

harley - we've got one lol, and guess what, sil bought it for ds1 as a christening present. she hasn't tried to ride it though - although i suspect i may have been on it at one time or another

Oh not the lab puppy

look this is inevitable

Habbibu · 29/09/2008 15:59

Poor labrador damned as being clumsy. Bet the horse was terribly agile. Before it met its end, obv.

bodybag · 29/09/2008 16:02

well at least the wheelybug can spin around that thing can only go backwards and forwards.

I remember those rocking horses. I rode on one in the shop. I sang a stupid song too. DH walked away but dd and whole load of other kids hung about and laughed and jumped up and down.

Jux · 29/09/2008 16:04

while I remember, we have a very very old tin rocking horse (very cold on the old thighs).

twinsetandpearls · 29/09/2008 18:37

If you called me a ten tonne tess I would take greag delight in breaking your horse and then rubbing the sweat from my chaffing thighs over the remains.

cornsilk · 29/09/2008 18:47

where's the thread about the thread then?

Habbibu · 29/09/2008 19:17

Lapin, surely you haven't managed to stuff up a link?

Romy7 · 29/09/2008 19:42

Did the rocking horse break suddenly or gradually as she rocked? Did she have any warning that it was breaking?

MrsBates · 29/09/2008 19:50

Shame you weren't filming it. I think You've been framed pay about 200 quid so you'd have been quids in.
