are mumsnetters generally miserbale kill joys

cos it seems so to me

" i cna timaghine why boys liek to thump somthing with a stick" ( see pinata thread
god what planet are you ON

We had a pinanta when camping with about 10 little kids and lots of wine

We enjoyed it innocently, not realising that there was a reason that we shouldn't

top thread cod.

ds was not going to have tv or guns or gender specific anything.

has has 5 toy guns at last count (i am genuinely at this ) and loves his telly....BUT he does have a pink tishirt as well as a purple one.

so obv i'm winning the big ones

they are full of haribo and parma violets fillywhich are evil

Oh, Soph! Now, don't lower the tone.

I don;t understand how anyone could have missed the pinata explosion of the last five years.

LOL @ pinatas filled with lentils and pens.

I once went on church camp where we had a pinata. Inside was a picture book of the story of Noah. I think there was meant to be a hidden meaning there. Was lost on me, no f'ing sweeties, enought to make a child an apostate I tell you.

I lurve parma violets !

THANK you harpsi

But can you not fill it with smooth sticks and carob bars?

Oh yes, yum.

I love Refreshers too.

i was puzzled, you see, as I thought pinantas were pretty lentilly

I mean, there is the effort involved in stuffing the pinata etc. Those "what shall I put in the pinata" threads started by people who plan birthday parties using lists. That has always out me off.

Well, I'm not a miserable killjoy.

Am I?

And the Most Fake Emoticons In A Single Post award goes to.................

Thank you very much. It's an honour [proud]

lol at cods thread

I taught DS1 to make me a G&T last week, he makes it perfectly, with ice and a slice. he calls it Gin Toxic though.

Anyhoo, back to the pinatas - I made one once, used PVA glue, the fucker would not break, in the end we knocked it down and stampted on it, some Haribos got stuck to some shoes.

OO - I used a real swear then, usually I fark or blardy - soz has been an emotional evening.

Errrr seemed to have touched a raw nerve.

Lets just say it's been a long 6 weeks(3 under 4)so a little jaded and new to the party thing. Dts have just discovered weaponry (in a big way)so thought I ought to do a bit of research. Clearly the pinata has a big fan base.

Will give it some more thought.

CUNT CUNT CUNT

I'd be happy if pinatas were a non-horse/donkey shape - I think the fear of being kicked by them had made me nervous of even whacking paper ones with big sticks.

Gimme a fish shape or something and I'm all for it

This thread isboring the tits off me now. I'm off to talk about under cabinet lighting instead.

Whoop ee doo.................

Would a parenting guru shaped pinata be popular amongst MNers?

Oooooooooooh I like!

Can I get a Natasha Kapklinski pinata?

Snigger
I want a Nigella one right now.

Hey FMV how are you?

yes filly you could but your children would be shunned in the playground and called Carob Pants and would never talk to you again.
so best not, really
