well marthamoo that's a bit harsh

it can't be any worse than changing nappies, or shopping at Lidl

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 19:35

what if DH gets a weekly blow job and your marriage is still shite?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 19:36

Hmmm, marthamoo - could this be another scenario where you could kill to birds with one hoover attachment?

marthamoo · 26/02/2007 19:37

Bloody hell, that's a good idea, VVVQV

Pann · 26/02/2007 19:43

is this a morph with the 10/10 thread? I0 mins of blowing jobs, 10 mins of vacuuming? I see......maybe this is what La O Neil means.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 19:47

Pann!!!! Email me!

Pann · 26/02/2007 19:52

Okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

babyproofing your marriage?

I didn't know you could get things to do that

Are they like the little corners on the edges of tables or more like the catches on cupboard doors?

are they washable at 60 degrees?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 19:54

That's exactly it, Cap. Little covers for hiding plug holes etc

Am at work Pann, dont forget.

My dh works with a guy who gets woken with a BJ every morning by his wife She took a week off after birth of each child, then normal duties had to resume.

morningpaper · 26/02/2007 20:11

Wow did she pay someone to cover her maternity leave?

Scootergirl · 26/02/2007 20:12

Do you think you can give them a tenner and send them off to sort out their own blow job, while you have a kip, and that would still work?

morningpaper · 26/02/2007 20:15

I think that's the normal practice for most of us Scootergirl

Except without the money exchanging hands

Now I am off to bed, I hope you have a nice chat. I'm soooo tired and I've got a saucy book on the go (and a teething baby writhing in agony next to me ). xx

ROFL MP

a weekly 69? How do you go about doing that though? I mean not how, but, do you book in a weekly slot, same time, same place? Is it quick chuck clothes off, do your 5 minutes and stop - irrespective of where you are at?

Same goes for a blow job. Do you stop after five minutes, whether he's finished or not?

CathyONeill · 26/02/2007 20:57

this is a test message

NotanOtter · 26/02/2007 20:58

Hi Cathy

Welcome to Mumsnet. There are plenty of questions here already and certainly more to come, so we'll hand over to you.

Enjoy!

Explain this blowjob theory then, please?

wads · 26/02/2007 21:00

well if the 5 minute fix is a blowjob, & I always go to bed before my DH as he never gets up in the morning with the 3 kids, when does Ms O'Neil suggest I give the blowjob? After the 1am or 4am breastfeed??

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 21:00

Apologies, I know that its straight to the point for a first question.....

madmarchhare · 26/02/2007 21:00

Pah, you bet me to it.

lulumama · 26/02/2007 21:01

and why babyproof? like a bomb that is going to go off and blow your marriage and relationship sky high?

NotanOtter · 26/02/2007 21:01

what if semen smell makes you gag?

lulumama · 26/02/2007 21:03

baby proof makes it sound like you are guarding against the inevitable disaster...
