well marthamoo that's a bit harsh

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.

Wow did she pay someone to cover her maternity leave?

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?

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?

Hi Cathy

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

Explain this blowjob theory then, please?

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??

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