Now in the grand scheme of things, this isn't hugely serious, but it's bugging me.

I went away for the night last Saturday (to London to see Barry Manilow, before you ask) and dh took dd to his parents house. Dd was wearing a sweet little pink tracksuit, and the tracksuit top had little sequins all over it. What can I say? We like the bling. It was really nice. I promise. Anyway...

When I got home on Sunday afternoon, dh said, 'Oh my mum washed the clothes that dd was wearing on Saturday, they're upstairs'. When I went to put them away, every single one of the sequins had gone. She must have washed it on too hot a cycle.

AIBU to expect that she must have noticed, when she folded it up, and could have at least acknowledged it. I know she was trying to help by washing her clothes, but I still think she could have said something to dh.

What do you think?

I'll have you know dd loves Copacabana. It's her favourite song.

As parents, it is our duty to set our kids up for live. Giving your daughter a love for such music (and men) is not good.

Do you watch Balamory? She has a thing for Archie.

And you thought Barry was bad!

I have a thing for Archie too.

Pinkjennybellrock · 12/12/2008 16:35

I think he's a bit ironic. He's almost smirking at the silliness of it all most of the time.

I think dd gets it.

Now I can understand the thing for Archie

Pinkjennybellrock · 12/12/2008 16:37

OK, you're all freaking me out now.

But Jenny Archie is Fab I can't smile without him.

Archie's great. DJ from Space Pirates does stand up too, as does Chris 'Doodle Do' Corcoran (who I fancy).

PJ, in February could you dress L down a bit or I shan't want to be seen with you.

God I would doodle-do Chris within an inch of his life! That man has gorgeous hands and a sexy voice. Yummy!

I've gone a bit light-headed thinking about him! My DS doesn't like Doodle-do and always wants to change to Nick2 when it's on, but I HAVE to watch it.

Oh yes - silence during Doodle-do is a must. I'm going to have lovely dreams tonight now about him singing to me.

prettybutterfly · 12/12/2008 20:22

wotu - it is his hands! You are so right! Makes me wish I were a yoghurt pot for him to get crafty with.

wotuhohohoinat · 12/12/2008 21:03

I'd like to be a kitchen roll so he could...nevermind!
