Style and Beauty: Does this capsule make me look frumpy?

Childbirth: If I'm not out in 48 hours, will I have to be induced?

Relationships: DP keeps messaging me from the surface to say that he can see himself on telly. Is he narcissistic?

Good Housekeeping: Can't be bothered to shift rubble from tunnel entrance. Am I a slattern?

(etc. ...)

sugarlake never mind tea I almost choked on my own saliva at "how do I fit into my capsule wardrobe?" Grin

Oh yes, lots of bunting in the MN camp hope. Lots of it.

If DC was waiting as we came out, some MNers would punch him in the nose and some would hug him. Others would run off looking for the Chilean President to hug instead.

Arts and Crafts: "Alternative uses for a wanky basket"

Too right about El Presidente. He's coming to visit next week I think. Any chance of a kidnap swap with DC?

SanctiMoanyArse · 14/10/2010 16:01

wanky basket?

wnaky basket, surely?

nightcat · 14/10/2010 16:45

i wanted to call my ds Sebastian (long time ago), was outvoted, now I wish I had, still like the name and the President Grin

nightcat · 14/10/2010 16:47

hi Sancti
this just has to be knacky (as in knick-knack) basket, surely??

SanctiMoanyArse · 14/10/2010 17:37

I have a Sebastian. We call him Bas but it's my favourite name of all teh four.

Wnaky basket; a sort of hiipy toy- basket filled with natural life things- eg wooden spoon, pine cone, hemp cloth- that used to be popular / running joke (depending on whether you were Franny or Cod) here years and years ago.

nightcat · 14/10/2010 17:41

oooOOOooo, Sancti, I so love that name, so Envy you lucky thing!!
Grin

AIBU: to save 500ml of the drinking water for rinsing my mooncup?

Arts and Crafts - Don't waste your time down here, why not crochet one of these

YouKnowNothinoftheMonsterMunch · 14/10/2010 18:15

Mumsnut :o. That is a corker! I love this thread!

"aibu to be really upset that dh didn't get me a present when I got out of the mine? He worked tirelessly looking after the dcs and helping with the rescue team, but he couldn't take five minutes to think of me?!"

Brollyflower · 14/10/2010 18:15

Recipes: any ideas for improving tinned tuna? Limited seasoning options.

RockBat · 14/10/2010 18:18

I don't know why you're doing this Hmm One AIBU discussion and we'd all kill each other :o

And at least half of you (survivors of The Big Row) would refuse to be rescued until David Cameron fucked off home :o

YouKnowNothinoftheMonsterMunch · 14/10/2010 18:21

The capsule clashes with my overalls, and apparently we're going to be on tv! How can I politely turn down the invite to be rescued without hurting anyone's feelings?

YouKnowNothinoftheMonsterMunch · 14/10/2010 18:23

Lost in chille: earlier this month I was trapped down a mine shaft and I left my earring down there. I know this is a long shot but if anyone does reopen it at some point it would mean the world to me if you could have a quick look for a dangly, silver earring. TIA!

Health:- God, I'm hot. Do you think I'm perimenopausal?
