Hahaha a company on tv have just done prezzies ' for mum '...

[pagwatch]

They were a slanket and a pair of fluffy comedy pig slippers.

How pleased I would be and

Is there anything more grim than the shite advertisers put in the ' for mum ' category.

oh, it's awful, isn't it?

cds are the worst. Fucking westlife and the like. No harm to them but having had a person pass through your fanny doesn't make you lose all sense of musical taste.

so true

What you mean you're not asking Santa for the compulsory Mum album by Buble this year!??

I own two slankets...

WTF is a slanket??

i love my slanket. dh got it for me for easter. i also love john barrowman and would rather like a bette midler cd for christmas.

i'll get me coat.

A slanket is a work of genius...

...otherwise known as a blanket with sleeves

I have a travel one that my husband bought a while ago (a bit smaller than regular size) and I use bought us a double one so that we can look tragic on the couch/sofa/whatever together during this freezing weather.

Haha, DD1 has just reminded of an episode of Sonny With A Chance (sad I know) where she has a 'blarmy', a blanket with arms!!!

Rofl at blarmy.

What is even better is that jewellery with 'mum' all over it. Because yes, that is how I want to be defined to the entire world, even when I am misguidedly trying to look nice in Argos gold plated jewellery.

Who wears that stuff?!

I wouldn't mind a slanket, particularly if it has feet included. I've got two pairs of socks and some mummy slippers on and my feet are loke blocks of ice. DD 9.7 is clearly part of the target audience for Argos he was looking at Argos online and found a 'worlds no 1 mum' necklace for sale. She promised me that she'd ask her dad to lend her some money so she could order it for me.

Actually I would be absolutely delighted if my DS's got me a slanket and pair of silly slippers for Christmas

You are some sad types aren't you..

you slanket lovers - have you tried this new product?

A good pint, well made Riv baby

Point even ....

[twit]

This morning, a pint of almost anything.

Is a "travel slanket" a slanket with wheels on?

Fantastic, Trice.

My Mum bought me a CD of Celine Dion with pics by Anne Geddes one year.

Which narrowly surpassed brother's gift of a CD of poems last year.

A CD of poems Have you listened to it? Have you got a history of enjoying spoken word media or something?

Not really. I do like Audio books, but a CD of poems. Hmm. Read by the likes of Joanna Lumley, but still.

I'd like a slanket - and would actually welcome any number of them if it keeps the crappy Argos 'mum' jewellery at bay.
