next time the sound of violent MS doesn't even warrant pausing his stupid football game?

It would be such a shame if you accidentally knocked a can of full fat very sticky and impossible to remove coca cola over it wouldn't it?

littlelozz · 28/12/2009 14:47

Dont do it - take it from experience you only end up having to buy another one

MitchyInge · 28/12/2009 14:48

think my youngest feels this way about my laptop at the moment

as am glued to it rather than taking her to shops to buy a new DS game

verynewmummytobe · 28/12/2009 15:45

So many methods, southwind! At the moment - pure rage and my bare hands!

Vomitting into an Xbox could prove fatal, could it not?

Maybe you should not reach the loo next time.

Pantofino · 28/12/2009 18:27

Um, much as I feel for you, there's not much he can ACTUALLY do to help with MS though is there? Unless it would make you feel better to see him in equal discomfort.

diddl · 28/12/2009 18:35

What do you actually want him to do while you´re being sick?

Southwind · 28/12/2009 20:20

He could hold her hair back, tell her everything is gonna be fine and then get her a drink of lemonade......to name but a few.............fecking xboxes....

Pantofino · 28/12/2009 20:46

Ooh no thanks! I would much rather throw up in private me!

snorkie · 28/12/2009 21:09

I'd just surepticiously take the fuse out of the plug & hide it somewhere. When MS is over, you can put it back.

DH says if it's a 360 it's overheating that kills them.

Turn it on and cover it with a bag????

Microwave it for 10 secs. No external damage but screws the insides

verynewmummytobe · 28/12/2009 22:30

I am SO impressed by the creative methods of destruction available! Which to choose?!

Is your DH allowed NO fun now that you are PG? Just asking.....

floatyjosmum · 29/12/2009 11:41

a friend f mine has this issue but with the pc! she tends to spray it liberally thru the vents with polish! not worked upto now but she's thinking it will bugger it up one day!

Patsy99 · 30/12/2009 14:37

YABU - the correct response is to start playing it too. I got into it when I was pregnant, completely absorbing, no need to go out, great if you've got MS and you can bond with dp to boot. Lots of the games you can play on "co-operative" so you and DP are on the same team rather than competing. Trust me, there is nothing like punching little aliens for an hour or two to make yourself feel better.
