I saw a woman in the Science Museum today, who really could only be described as having "let herself go"

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Grey streaky "hanging" hair, huge arse and fat tum in grey tracky bottoms, footglove shoes, shapeless burgundy tunic top and hanging tits. She really looked like she had given up on life. In contrast, she had three dear little, divinely trendily dressed girls with her. She had obviously put a lot of thought and effort into what they were going to wear (down to the very funky hat one of them was wearing) but hadn't even spent five minutes on herself.

Why?

Peebles is great to visit.

Birks during sex?

K, if I ever see you on one of those 'We never have sex' threads I'll know why .

I usually wear heels.

So often I don't find them uncomfortable.

pph cocks gun

points at harpsi

aims

fires....

at one sad white birkenstock

There is NEVER an excuse for birkie wirkie schmerkies harpsi warpsi, and don't you forget it.

Wear the wedges or the other birkie gets it

Clarks weren't too bad a couple of years ago, but this season they've taken the direction of the footglove.

yes shoes
and Peebles.
It'll be Jedburgh next.
and probably handbags.
you mark my words

Wedges are comfy! How do you not find them comfy?

They're a great introductory heel, to get you used to the real thing, and a real relief for Achilles tendonitis sufferers.

Right then, leather flip flops, Clarks with the beading, but no Jesus boots, no birkies ....

am I the only one taking notes here?

Peebles smeebles.

Jedburgh is a dump.

So is Galashiels.

lovely baby is lovely.

can't walk yet (well she can but mostly she chooses not to grrrrr she is almost 15 months)

and can say dog, duck, moo and mama >

first kid to say mama before dada. Bloody ds2 didn't say mama until he was about 2 and he was dadadadaing all the time

honestly, the birkewoonies are really elegant....

Flip flops aren't shoes.

They're beachwear.

And if you have a dodge ankle, have a care! You'll be sure to sprain it in flip flops.

WTF? In slightly over an hour, the entire population of Mumsnet-ville Had A Period.

Passers-by were bewildered as to the cause of this mass out break, but the Rt. Hon. Colonel Buffton-Tuffton-Smillingly-Wells commented "Bloody hysterical, you'll see. That's what comes of letting all those immigrants over, what? Sends the women mad, what?"

Police remain baffled.

I have a 16-month-old who bum shuffles for Scotland.

She speaks a lot, though.

To order us around.

Little Miss Thang.

*flip flops out for medical reasons.

BANG

that's the other birkie shot to smithereens Harpsi

Wedges or nothing now

Beachwear in Britain.

LOL!

ah, clever baby. dd2's first word was dd1's name. ages before mama or dada.
Maybe I shouldn't leave them in the house on their own so much

I worry about mine having a Cumbrian accent.

But 'tis better than an Oldham one methinks.

Don't bother ever posting about a woman whith nice hair, nice clothes, apart from the hid' Birkenstokes who had three unruly children, two who were dressed really nicely with lovely haircuts while the middle child was dreadfully scruffy and looked like he's cut his own hair. Because it's me.

does she speak texan or scots though?

mine is miss fascisto. she throws about 10 tantrums a day because she is so frustrated that she doesn't have the language to order us about in the way she really really wants to.

I've never had such a tantrummy frustrated child. She is High Maintenance

I hope my children have an accent you can cut it with a knife.

I really do.

DH has.

And I love it, I do!

dd has a lovely French one when she speaks French.

( harpi those were PLATFORMS that she fell off. Wedges are High Heels for Beginners, almost as easy as flats)
