at the fact that the DSSs' mother is begging telling them to go home to keep the new au pair company?

We did warn her that a 12 year old and a 14 year old didn't actually need an au pair...

thanks for the reminder, holy, now i'm inspired to get fit as well.

of course, halle's probably about 8 inches taller than i am, either.

she looks like she's about 6 ft.

expatinscotland · 05/09/2009 23:53

she even looks good with no makeup.

and at her age, too.

sushistar · 05/09/2009 23:53

Well - if he did leave 1st wife and kids maybe he's NOT the most reliable chap in the world...?

Portofino · 05/09/2009 23:53

Well someone is being U. Are the DS's with you because it is their turn to be with you? 50/50 and all that. In which case the Au Pair will just have to get on with it. I don't like the idea that the Au Pair doesn't eat with family, as surely the very IDEA and definition of an Au Pair is that they are a MEMBER of the family - not strictly an employee. I just can't bear the smugness thing though so YABU.

sushistar · 05/09/2009 23:54

I don't like halle. She's unatainable and a bit airbrushy iykwim.

HolyGuacamole · 05/09/2009 23:56

I know, she is a natural stunner.

I mean you have to think of the realities of that catsuit TBH. Imagine trying to get into (or out of) that?! Jesus.

Houdidni (sp) wouldn't have to worry about me that's for sure. I'd be a sweating mess of blubber and by the time I got the fecker on, DH would be getting up for work

scottishmummy · 05/09/2009 23:57

fuck you could airbrush me within an inch of live.never look like halle

expatinscotland · 05/09/2009 23:57

i don't think she's airbrushy. she's half african-american, she's aged incredibly well.

she's not a lollipop head, either.

very tall, though.

scottishmummy · 06/09/2009 00:01

halle is bonnie,no disputing

sushistar · 06/09/2009 00:06

she looks airbrushy to me. Maybe she's not really that tall eiethr, maybe they used the special effects team to stretch her out on screen so she looks skinnier?

HolyGuacamole · 06/09/2009 00:07

Yeah sushi, you tell yourself that

scottishmummy · 06/09/2009 00:08

back to the op,it has disgruntled new burd vibe.

Portofino · 06/09/2009 00:08

I'm a bit worried actually. I HAVE to go Paris on Tuesday (work). I am unchic and overweight, I am worried that i might be judged struck down!

sushistar · 06/09/2009 00:10

I'm bored of her stepson's mother's servent troubles.

I have no stepsons OR servants. Thank god!

BitOfFun · 06/09/2009 00:11

Yeah Portofino, can you reschedule to Texas?

sushistar · 06/09/2009 00:11

You are as chic as you feel. Walk with confidence and they will see you as an English belle.

scottishmummy · 06/09/2009 00:13

have no catsuit,no au pair,no 1st wife issues

do have envy halle is so lithe in vinyl

Portofino · 06/09/2009 00:23

Have no catsuit - now that would be U! Well me in one would be at least .

I'd love to suggest a MN meetup with BA, coffee in the Rue Faubourg St Honore, but I'd be too scared !

scottishmummy · 06/09/2009 00:27

HolyGuacamole · 06/09/2009 00:35
