I can't see Pride and Prejudice on the list and I think each of us has done that!

(fabbo list tho')

Cory - to be honest my morals are incredible considering I'm now being forced to live in a brothel and more importantly my evil friend is well.... hot.

theyoungvisiter · 17/04/2009 14:54

Oh MrsF, I love Colette!! It's what made me want to live in a garret in Paris, but I only stuck it a year.

I arrived in the big smoke hoping to find a nice job, and a very kind lady offered me a room in the local YWCA. All the other girls seem really jolly but surely men are not allowed in after a certain hour? I'm also a bit confused. AIBU in expecting my own bed and not to get fumbled with (how ever pleasantly) by my room mate?

MariaCC · 17/04/2009 14:55

MM - I'm not Pamela although she and I have a lot in common!

TheMolesMother · 17/04/2009 14:57

Oooops, meant Clarissa

MM

MariaCC · 17/04/2009 14:57

AIBU to not want to marry the heir to my father's estate, despite the fact he enjoys the patronage of a lady aristo!

Sorry just doing P&P again for old time's sake.

MrsDanversAteMyIpod · 17/04/2009 14:57

Balloon, does he have a Jekyll and Hyde type personality?

theyoungvisiter · 17/04/2009 14:57

Did MMJ ever reveal her low-brow conundrum? I am 99% sure I have never read it, whatever it is, but still want to know!

theyoungvisiter · 17/04/2009 14:58

is your name Fanny by any chance Salome?

(these novelists really should have consulted the baby name threads before beginning.)

MariaCC · 17/04/2009 14:58

TYV - I don't think she did but I WANT TO KNOW!!!

salome64 · 17/04/2009 14:59

TYV, I have been trying to forget about it, and now you've brought it all back! sob!

Cooee! MMJ?

salome64 · 17/04/2009 14:59

TYV? where was your garret? Mine was in the 13th.

MrsDanversAteMyIpod · 17/04/2009 14:59

Don't marry him Maria, he's a sycophantic idiot

MrsFlittersnoop · 17/04/2009 15:00

salome64 · 17/04/2009 15:00

TYV. Yes, I am indeed Fanny Hill.

BalloonSlayer · 17/04/2009 15:01

I am quite young and inexperienced and was a bit nervous about starting a relationship with a Single Dad, especially as he hasn't got a proper job and still lives with his father. The DSCs are cute though, and they think I am sweet, which is nice.

What I am worried about though is that new DP asked me to dress up as a doll the other day? I know that men who have been on their own for some time often resort to "dolls" but I thought he would appreciate a real woman now he had the chance. I felt very uncomfortable in the outfit, especially when he asked me to stick on pink cheeks like this and pull a face like [this].

AIBU to think this is a bit odd? Or maybe it's all my imagination?

theyoungvisiter · 17/04/2009 15:01

he he, here is a norty one

AIBU to believe that it is ESSENTIAL to eat your toast at 7am? Otherwise you are condemning your child to a lifetime of sleepless nights and your marriage will probably founder into the bargain.

OP posts:
BalloonSlayer · 17/04/2009 15:02

I meant pull a face like this

theyoungvisiter · 17/04/2009 15:02

oo did you have a garret Salome? Mine was in the 18th and later in the 4th.

I do miss it... but not the terrible plumbing.

OP posts:
BalloonSlayer · 17/04/2009 15:03

I think you'll find TYV that you need to have cereal as well.

And start on the correct breast otherwise it's the naughty step.

MrsFlittersnoop · 17/04/2009 15:05

Ballon, please be VERY CAREFUL if you accept a lift in his car. I have it on excellent authority that he is not a qualified mechanic and has made some dangerous modifications!

cory · 17/04/2009 15:06

I think you sound far too scrumptious for this man, balloonslayer

theyoungvisiter · 17/04/2009 15:07

Also Balloon, I hope you have a passport as you may need to go to Bavaria at short notice.
