Oh and while I was answering a message to one of them, the dog licked my slice of fruit cake

@ dog !

I have sympathy for the dog. I could just go a slice of cake.

smee · 19/05/2011 12:56

I'm with the dog too - quite restrained of it just to lick.

cakes, here's a thought. I had a Great Aunt who's idea of dieting was to chew but not swallow. She lost pounds.

Kurri you're a saint - maybe you should charge them in treats. Tell them you want cake for every piece of advice given.

cakesandale · 19/05/2011 13:00

Well I'm willing to try anything. Great Aunt's technique would be awkward to pull off in polite company, though

I think you should at very least get an honourable mention in the plaudits at the end, KK.....

Actually I have a LOT of writing to do myself, do you fancy helping me out? Thought not.

cakesandale · 19/05/2011 13:12

DH has just had 2 slices of chocolate swiss roll

I had to go out and water the plants until they were safely out of sight.

KurriKurri · 19/05/2011 13:16

One of them has said she is going to put me in her acknowledgments as 'C's Mum'

I'm afraid I can't do any of your writing Cakes - I'm too traumatised from the fruitcake incident.

Smee - what did your aunt do with the chewed food? - did she have some sort of spittoon?

KurriKurri · 19/05/2011 13:18

Oh and the dog wasn't restrained, she was going for a full snatch - but when she licked it, I shouted at her so she stomped off

smee · 19/05/2011 13:21

at dog. Is she still sulking?

Not sure what Great Aunt N did with the food. We never found out...

KurriKurri · 19/05/2011 13:26

She's giving me sidelong glances to let me know she's not happy with me
Dh popped home for lunch and of course she rushed up to him with a 'she's been mean to me' look on her face, so he picked he up and cuddled her

cakesandale · 19/05/2011 13:32

In that case I think your JR must have taught my DD everything she knows...

MaryAnnSingleton · 19/05/2011 13:46

maybe aunt discreetly deposited the chewed bits up her sleeve or in her handbag...
Our thread is fast approaching 1000 again...

im off to cut the grass it honestly feels wonderful to have the energy to go do something normal.i cant believe i use to moan about having to cut the grass.

cakesandale · 19/05/2011 14:14

I can imagine the scene

I'd love to get an inside track on what they are saying when they do that grumbling thing. Expect it's quite rude....

SparkleRainbow · 19/05/2011 14:15

SparkleRainbow · 19/05/2011 14:39

Sitting on hands as instructed

Hope all is ok with topsy too!

KurriKurri · 19/05/2011 14:46

Aww -sweet little chick Sparkle - and your house looks gorgeous too

Pink - at your dog, - I'm glad I'm not the only one with a dog that thinks it rules the roost!

MAS - your story reminded me I have this Annora Spence print hanging in my hallway Dog at the Table , I got it because it was so like our dog in attitude

SparkleRainbow · 19/05/2011 18:05

I suspect that a thread about hypermobility on sen children has got a post from someone just claiming zinc supplements will cure all. It is quite subtle, but I have spent time researching their claims and can find no evidence, and I was already quite up to date with the subject. Can I pick your trolling/advertising expertise, I know you guys have experiences of this on here? I don't want to report a post as it may be someone who really believes this. I have quite nicely asked for where they are getting their research from, should I just leave it at that and see what happens, or just keep out. I don't want vulnerable parents wanting answers and "cures" that do not exist being lulled into something, but equally alternative therapy may have its place. I am trying to be fair. What do you think my cyber gurus? (? plural of guru?)

KurriKurri · 19/05/2011 18:15

Sparkle - I would just report the post, mentioning your concerns, and then MNHQ can decide whether it needs to be pulled or not
