'Things to do with...plastic cd cases. Save lots and paint them with letters for a giant scrabble board'

This handy tip was in last weeks Pick me Up magazine. Why!? and What!?

Share some please, real or made up. I need cheering up.

Brightened my week as well. Got made redundant on Tuesday, having to stay in the office until Monday, incredibly depressing atmosphere and I am not doing any work hence my constant MNing.

good grief

Would it be very wrong of me to send in a photo of H with a towel clenched between his naked buttocks?

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 15:22

No, it's OK have got another (better thank God) job starting in a couple of weeks. Will not be able to piss about on mumsnet there, so am making the most of it now

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 15:24

SoupDragon - you you really need us to answer that?

(Think you should, just don't tell 'im!)

SoupDragon · 13/03/2009 15:26

I could use a false name and it is a rear view so no one would recognise him... and he deserves it.

The question is, why do you own such a photo?

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 13/03/2009 15:30

It is from when we were young. Young and rather drunk.

I am still none the wiser as to what a power ranger wanted with a middle aged couple.

I am, however faintly amused at this line from the story 'Batteries Not Included' whereby a two year old swallows a battery and has to undergo surgical removal.

'now he's back on his favourite sausage rolls, he has his sparkle back'

ROFL.

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 13/03/2009 15:51

On the 'Him Indoors' pages, there is a 'tattoo reader'. WTF?

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 13/03/2009 15:57

GetOrfMoiLand

Missed your post about the tattoo reader (there I was, thinking I was the first to notice), but I am very tempted by 'date my son' - interests - Badminton, dancing in clubs, horror films.

hubba hubba (as they would probably say in PMU)

'My mum, Rita Culley, 61, means the world to me and I just want to let her know how much I love her. After all, how could you not have a space in your heart for a woman who's happy to make a wally of herself with a pair of pig's ears?'

WTF?

Unlucky Lady

pmsl at that and the pigs ears thing, if only my mum would do that I might love her just a little bit more.

'Unlucky Lady' is a crab-faced ungrateful hag and her son is a cheapskate who can't even be bothered to make an effort for her birthday.

KingRolo · 13/03/2009 16:34

'You can probably tell by my face how lucky I was'

KingRolo · 13/03/2009 16:35

My back fat had a mind of its own!

KingRolo · 13/03/2009 16:37

I can't stop laughing

georgimama · 13/03/2009 16:39

If you need a psychologist in a woman's magazine to tell you about your husband's personality based on his tattoos, I'd say you have a big problem. Surely you married this person with some insight into his character? Was it a bride lottery?

I hope the chap above the naked ironer found a nice lady friend, he looks perfectly normal, I wonder how on earth he came to put his picture on pickmeup's website. Perhaps he googled and thought it was an internet dating site with a name like that.

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 16:40

PMSL.

Christ almighty what possessed back fat lady to get a tramp stamp.

Point and laugh!!!

georgimama · 13/03/2009 16:41

Poor back fat lady, I shouldn't sneer at her "good job as a pub manager in Barry with loads of mates", it is wrong of me. But I can't help it.

TheOddOne · 13/03/2009 16:42

Getorf - re: your last link. The blow torch guys pubes have slipped............onto the face of the guy below!

georgimama · 13/03/2009 16:42

And couldn't she have put on matching underwear? And not a thong?

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 16:43

So, to summarise:

Tattoo psychologists

Spooky plant spitits

Naked old boys

Women with cats bum mouths

Breast milk fetishes

Tips on what to do with broken old saucepans.

And more...

Why do I ever bother with Grazia?
