one for up, one for down and one for polishing off

I think we all could have guessed who said it.

She is worrying, isn't she. If she likes poking about in poo so much I wish she'd come round here and take a turn with ds's nappies. They would keep her happy for weeks...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 12/01/2006 12:46

will this turn into a toilet paper quality thread?

Feistybird · 12/01/2006 12:48

...or maybe a wiping technique thread....

LadySherlockofLGJ · 12/01/2006 12:50

Was she in the army ? Standard issue my DH assures me.

or a "just cotton wool and water" v "re-usable wipes" v "cheap wipes" v "expensive moisturised cloth whatever wipes" thread

WigWamBam · 12/01/2006 12:51

She's rather disturbingly obsessed, isn't she ... who cares how many wipes it takes, as long as you get it clean ...

harpsichordcarrier · 12/01/2006 12:52

yes good point QV
depends very much on the quality of the paper surely?
that bloody woman is a coprophiliac and no mistake
and a LOOOOOOON

VeniVidiVickiQV · 12/01/2006 12:54

LOL HC - a copra what?

WigWamBam · 12/01/2006 12:55

VVV - don't ask. And for heaven's sake don't google ...

It involves doing very weird things with poo.

harpsichordcarrier · 12/01/2006 12:56

someone who loves poo
can't get enough of poo
talks obsessively about poo

harpsichordcarrier · 12/01/2006 12:56

look now I'm doing it...

waterfalls · 12/01/2006 15:56

So 15 wipes is not good then

jamiesam · 12/01/2006 15:57

oh, so none of you will have read and remembered great article in the Guardian so many years ago about the 8 (i think) textures of poo. Basically ranged from result of eating only lard (ouch!) to only veggies (no toilet paper needed whatsoever!). So much wish I had kept it. I may have been a german in another life though....

VeniVidiVickiQV · 12/01/2006 16:10

pmsl at every post on his thread!

Elibean · 12/01/2006 16:19

Dr G McK clearly never had haemorrh....erm, piles whilst pregnant. 3?!

Meanoldmummy · 12/01/2006 17:13

Pity.

edodgy · 12/01/2006 17:15

well my 6 week old mustnt be very healthy then because his last one took about 8 wipes

FrannyandZooey · 12/01/2006 17:16

There must be something the matter with me because I actually went to search for the Guardian article about the 8 types of poo. I didn't find it, but I did find this which was quite apposite.

I stopped looking after that because I scared myself, frankly.

harpsichordcarrier · 12/01/2006 18:13

franny, mate you really need to get a tv
meanoldmummy are you new here? because you keep making me LARF
and yes you're right, if there was ever a candidate for piles it is Gillian McCharlatan

Meanoldmummy · 12/01/2006 20:34

I am quite new joined just before Christmas but turned into WhenaChildisBored over Christmas...

Meanoldmummy · 12/01/2006 20:37

F&Z that article made me hoot...

God, there really is something very unsavoury about that McKeith woman. (shudder emoticon)
