Even after over a year, I still don't fully understand, or want to, the discussions on the following, and therefore avoid them like the plague. In fact, I think most of them scare me a little.

The Fly Lady. (WTF?)
Cleaner debates.
Mooncups.
"What's for dinner?"
Buying and selling.
Quinny Buzzes. (I used to think it was some sort of drink until I googled it.)

Any more?

I don't understand most of MN........I mean why do we spend so much of our time chatting to complete strangers about stuff a lot of us would never talk about with our RL friends

Vacua · 27/01/2008 22:48

they are all busy experimenting with the playdoh/cookie/scone cutters and piping bags innit

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 22:52

innit indeed

SnappyLaGore · 27/01/2008 22:54

good grief, what kind of a mother do you think i am?
i dont have cookie cutters and piping bags fgs

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 22:55

I'm quite worried that I do own those items

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 22:56

but in my defence they are unused - for cooking or anything else

Vacua · 27/01/2008 23:00

ours had never been used
until tonight

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 23:01

ewwwwwwwwww

Vacua there may be a friend of mine lurking on this thread, so please tell him that I am completely normal and you have not corrupted me in any way ......

Vacua · 27/01/2008 23:05

what's it worth?

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 23:11

I'll give you my piping bag and cutters?
(always useful to have a spare)

PillockOfTheCommunity · 27/01/2008 23:13

He's only lurking because as a single dad I'm trying to convince him of the benefits of MN btw

Vacua · 27/01/2008 23:17

ok yes, pillock is lovely, normal, charming and cheerful and does not appear to have excess facial hair nor did she dribble down her front or touch herself inappropriately in public

will that do? and I'd better go to bed

SnappyLaGore · 27/01/2008 23:18
