BRIDE'S AGONY- Bum Torn Apart By Wedding Dress

I picked up an abandoned copy of this in the canteen today had forgotten all about it- used to love reading my Nan's copies.

The style of writing is totally the same, it made me laugh.

  1. babies are never just born, they are 'pushed into the world'

  2. you don't just think 'I might be pregnant, I must take a test'. It has to be 'I gripped the table as a wave of nausea washed over me. I sat thoughtfully. Then I put on my coat, and walked to the chemist, then returned back to my home in Botley Grange, Lancs, with a package. I followed the instructions. I paced nervously with the little white stick in my hand. Finally, it was time to look. I was pregnant!'

  3. there is a headline on the front that reads 'BRIDE'S AGONY- BUM TORN APART BY WEDDING DRESS

The poor woman had compartment syndrome, maybe but not definitely caused by the excersize she was doing in the run up to her wedding Confused

Anyway it's made me laugh, and at home tonight I'll probably be narrating in my head things like 'the cat meowed with glee as I entered the front door of my flat in Hinkley Ave, Berks. 'Looks like it's just you and me tonight, Mavis' I muttered as she fixed me with a meaningful stare. My partner, Gary, was working late yet again. Sighting, I reached for the bar of chocolate I'd treated myself to and settled down to watch the soaps'

Anyone care to add a Take a Break Style narration from their day?

When I was a skint single mum living in a bit of a dodgy bedsit, tab and the like used to keep me entertained for hours for about 60p.. I sometimes used to enter the competitions, but I never won anything (insert daily mail sad face).

Aridane · 24/02/2018 13:42

Yay!!

CarolsSecretCookieRecipe · 24/02/2018 14:42

Can't wait for the final Dawn/Aslam installment! I was musing over what the possible outcomes would be whilst washing my hair earlier. I need to get out more.

The MNHQer, 37, of Pombear Street, Herts, tossed her luscious locks over her shoulder, slicked on some lippy and sashayed across the office. 'Thanks for all your reports,' she breathed huskily to the computer, 'we're going to move this one over to classics now'.

ScreamingValenta · 24/02/2018 15:33

"Great news, @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet " I enthused, before settling back on the sofa to while away a few more hours on Mumsnet, in my cosy house in TakeABreak Crescent, Chatsville, PickMeUpShire.

Smokeahontas · 24/02/2018 15:37

In time, the thread was moved across to Classics...

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/02/2018 15:43

Coco that’s genius.

A local DJ has put farting, Susan on his fb page.

Cocolepew · 24/02/2018 15:58

Thanks Chardonnay, Im planning on spending my dosh for my top tip as we speak

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2018 15:58

Ooh sanitary pads as bunion cushions! And why stop at home made slippers and bulking out casseroles? Hand sew 64 pads together to make your own quilt. No more chilly nights for you.

Fed up with cutting onions with watering eyes? Selotape a sanitary towel over each eye before you begin chopping.

I couldn't believe it when I saw Becky had moved the thread to classics. I was thrilled. Delighted. I knew I'd treasure this moment forever. TAB fan, 42, at home with cuppa

MyOtherProfile · 24/02/2018 16:21

Shamelessly placemarking just to find out what happens with Dawn and Aslam.

Bettercallsaul1 · 24/02/2018 16:41

I was just enjoying a cuppa and biccies while sorting out my Sanpro for a craft evening with best mates Sandra and Lorna from down the road when I read the great news!!!! My eyes welled up and a delighted smile played on my wind-chapped lips. Thank you, BeckyMumsnet, I breathed!

2018February · 24/02/2018 16:48

I'm post menopause so gutted I never have sani towels hanging around Sad

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/02/2018 17:06

Might actually be the best use of all those scented pads that aren't going anywhere near my fanjo anyway.

PassiveAggressivePamela · 24/02/2018 17:14

The thread is posing for a ‘Me now’ picture in Classics

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/02/2018 17:28

"ME NOW" Laughing in a jolly fashion on the sofa surrounded by Take A Breaks, feet snug in sanitary slippers, just waiting for my Thank You from all of us pebble painted with Tippex to dry so I can it post to Mumsnet HQ.

Sat at the traffic lights in the shiny white Mercedes I'd paid for in cash after only 3 months of selling mascara, I gave a cheeky wink to the handsome chap in the car next to us. 'Oh, Ravioli', laughed my best mate Sandra, flicking her blonde locks, 'I don't know how you always get so much attention'. She'd always been jealous of my ability to turn heads on a night out but now I was using scented Always as car air fresheners hanging from the mirror I was unstoppable out and about too! 'You need to read the top tips', I told her for the hundredth time as a knowing smile played on my lips. In time, the lights turned to green and we both got a headache from the smell.

@Handsoffmysweets

doyawannabuildasnowmaaaaaaaan · 24/02/2018 17:32

Omg the chicken shagger is a playground supervisor 😱

I left the thread ages ago. To be honest, I'm not interested.

TheDailyMailLovesTheEUReally · 24/02/2018 18:06

I'm currently despairing over a fencing quote we've just had; apparently it's going to cost the equivalent of the GDPR of a small country to secure our garden. Would scented Always pads do instead? I could string them together between the posts to make an eye-catching yet economical fence?

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/02/2018 18:09

Mhhh, not sure Daily.

Could you not use old lego your children have outgrown for that?

MY HUNKY HOLIDAY MAN WAS A LOVE RAT ROTTER PART 4.

'Back at home in my three-bed semi in Foolsrush Street, County Durham, I couldn't stop thinking about my hunky man. I'd left my heart and my newly-ignited loins back in Turkey.

Even a trip to the bingo couldn't cheer me up, and my family were less than supportive.

'For God's sake mum!' My daughter Desiree, 37, spat. 'It's disgusting. He's only after one thing and you know it!'

Couldn't she see it was more than just what was between my legs Aslam was interested in?!

Enough was enough, I vowed. I sent a text to Aslam 'Sweet Slam, I need you. My gout's playing up so I can't make the trip to you, but you can come to me'.

I then put on my coat and went out of my front door. I hopped on the bus and asked for a return ticket into town. There, I ventured to a small shop with a bright yellow sign on the door. I punched in my card number and £3000 weaved it's way across the seas to my love. I then got on the bus and returned back home, excitement fizzing inside me.

I felt a glow when I imagined the slap-up meals we'd share, the trips to the bingo, nights in front of The Chase with a packet of biccies or giant toblerone. And of course, nights where hands would wander and we'd rekindle our shish-hot romping.

In time, I traveled to the airport to meet a familiar face. I spied some familiar Ferrero-Roche eyes and sasayhed over to their owner. We embraced, and left the airport together.

Back home, I popped on my sanitary-pad slippers (I had lots to make use of after I'd been through the change!) and set to work making him a slap-dinner of Fray Bentos steak and kidney, onion rings and potato smiles. But Aslam seemed a little distracted. The next think I knew he was on the kitchen floor! 'Dawn, my hit woman, ever since you leave I have throbbing ache in my meat parts to be by your side once more' he said. 'Make me the honour to be your husband until your death'

Well! He didn't need to ask me twice! I let him slip the onion ring on my finger and beamed my 'yes'. Then we went for a cheeky early-evening bonk.

We were married by the end of the week. I slipped a beautiful my cream m&s and had my locks set at the hairdressers. Aslam wore a Paul Smith suit he'd had his heart set on from House of Fraser. With two witnesses we'd pulled out of the Mecca bingo, we were married. Aslam didn't have a visa yet but he'd managed to get hold of all his necessary documents just in time. It had cost £10,000 to pay his friends from the kebab shop to get them but what the heck!'

(This is not the conclusion I promised but I have to go out tonight 😂 I'll do the rest ok the morning. Material very welcome!)

TheDaily, if stringing them together, why not go the whole hog and make bunting from them? Splash on some cochineal for a cheap decorative touch and hey presto.... all your neighbours will be taking orders for them. You could add few tampons too.. easy to attach, come with own string (non applicator kind are better)
