You can always tell some women are childless by the fact that they....

[NinaInCognito]

...get in the way of you when you are in the supermarket dragging around a pram, trolley and fiddly child and then they sneer down at you with their basket full of organic lettuce, baguettes and mini-tampons while your trolley is loaded with nappies, a giant pot of Sudocrem and enough chocolate bars to re-sink the Titanic.

You then have to manoever around them while they continue said sneering.

God you can tell what sort of evening I have had, can't you? And I am embarrassed to admit that I used to be one of those women. I apologise to all you mums out there unreservedly.

Now for chocolate bars and MN......

LOL M&S specials to me means dinner,wine £10

my nearest m &s is about hour away

were they from greenock?

I don't live in an M&S area!!!

i don't live in an M&S area, either.

we have to go to . . . greenock.

i have to try to remember to take the face plate off the car stereo, lock everything up, etc.

they do have the Cath Kidston reusable bags, however

i liked when i lived in bath-popping in after work for dinner-mmmmm lovely

i used to do that in Edinburgh. pop in for a Friday night 'treat' of the dinner for two plus bottle of wine for a tenner.

then to Blockbuster for a film for me and DH.

sigh.

then we had kids.

lol we did the M&S dinner and dvd tonight and MichelleShocked she rocks, her beautiful melodic voice

see... that m&s deal fed our family tonight. tuna steaks, asparagus, wine, some wierd jelly thing and some leftover potatoes. dh discovered last time it was on that if you go before 12 on a sunday they give you a box of 8 quid truffles because they can't serve you the booze. we're thinking of sticking to then from now on... house is full of booze. [teetotal]

What was that about the cheating gymnast???

it's such a clever deal, SM, they must be absolutely tanking the takeaways on the weekends. cunning stuart rose...

Weird jelly thing? Brings to mine The Blob, great B horror film that.

it must be the cheapest dessert they can possibly make. some, er, red jelly with some, er, fruit in it. price it up at £3.99 knowing not even the sneering supermarket spinsters are stoopid enough to buy it at that price but watch it fly off the shelves come the £10 meal deal.

Lol!!

essentially i am stingy canny wi my money so any ole bargain goes aye Fandabbydosie

fly off the shelves damn right aitch i do hand do hand combat for a bargaintastic deal

telling ya, before 12pm on a sunday. (we live five mins away... don't tell expat).

i also live near M&S so elaborate,i buy the deal get truffles B4 11am sat/sun?nice

Good God! This is utterly ridiculous!

I've just read the OP, and felt it was not funny at all.

Read Aitch's first post, then the OP's response and was GOBSMACKED!

Completely defensive, and OTT for NO reason at all, other than the fact that Aitch didn't agree with her, and respond with a 'light hearted banter' the OP was expecting.

AItch has simply been HONEST. then defended/ explained her post- with out actually needing too. All of you who are getting at AItch, are completely mis reading and missing the point, from the start.

I can't believe the things being said on this thread. It has nothing to do with "newbies" < hate that term, passionately> and older members, but wholly due to someone having a different reaction/ opinion to the OP. NOthing more, nothing less.

Get a grip, FFS!

Can I get a few more in ?
yes....

and i'm a page behind the ridiculousness it would seem... still, I've made my point!

Also, OP, there is really no need to 'return MN registration' . Founcing is never becoming, to even the most stylish MNetter... It should also be reserved for very special and rare circumstances, of which, this is not one... it was a minor disagreement. Your OP wasn't received in the manner you hoped, by all. thats all. It was not personal. Still, if youfeel this was a reason to leave, then perhaps this is not quite the right place for you, as you certainly need to be a little tougher... do come back

oh yes, susiecutie, but we are moved on now, there have been flounces and a singalong and allsorts. liquorice allsorts, from the blessed M&S. thank you, nevertheless, for agreeing so wholeheartedly With Me.

it might be a jocko licensing thing, sm, are you still living up here? we can't buy booze until 12 midday.

nah i am a snorting Norff Ldn Mum,we drink all da time

Oh LOL i sound all sordid,snort i mean harrumphing.not the other.i snort at queue jumping
