Can I imprison them within a giant hamster wheel and use them to generate electricity?

Hmmmmm...

8oreighty · 30/09/2008 18:43

where is that circus when you need it? How much are they paying these days anyway?

McDreamy · 30/09/2008 18:44

Would that be a buy it now or an auction?

Portofino · 30/09/2008 18:46

Are they cute? I'd quite like another one but can't be doing with the pregnancy/childbirth bit.....

PoppyFox · 30/09/2008 18:47

Careful!! Diddn't some Dutch couple get into trouble for that! Obviously they meant it as a joke... The police didn't get the joke. I don't know what the highest bid was

I've tried, you don't get much money

PoppyFox · 30/09/2008 18:53

If they put their toys away and eat mushrooms I'll give you a tenner for the pair.

feeble · 30/09/2008 18:54

Dont worry, we have all had days like that... I have been known to threaten it to my to.

Not much different to my parents 'phoning' the swap shop for a nice child when I was young!

Let me know what you get for them. I've considered putting mine on there but not sure if what I'd get for them would be worth it.

alicet · 30/09/2008 20:55

Dh has talked about doing this (In jest obviously!!! )

I'd rather be involved in a Saturday Swap Shop situation...swap one 18mth old DD for a cuppa on a Saturday morning?
Any takers?

DuffyMoon · 01/10/2008 07:18

would you swap an 18 month old for a stroppy 13 year old dd AND a cuppa

Themasterandmargaritas · 01/10/2008 07:28

I will swap the 13 year old for a single minded and pedantic 7 year old dd and a naughty naughty naughty 4 year old boy. She will have to be good with toddlers though. If you are lucky I will threw in some Kenyan sunshine.

squilly · 01/10/2008 10:57

YABVU. It's against Ebay policies. I'd feel the urge to grass you up, I'm afraid!

Mind you, if you want to go 'off Ebay', I always fancied having a big family, but my womb wasn't very co-operative. I'll give you a tenner for em

I've got plenty of room and I'm sure my 7 year old would be bemused by it all!
