My ex just called me on the phone. I was so frustrated and angry afterwards, that I just went and kicked my table in and its a wreck on the floor now with pot pourri everywhere. What is my mum going to say?

she is going to say...
"get that mess cleared up young lady!"

Hulababy · 09/05/2005 15:04

Maybe you need to pick it all up and hoover the floors, before she sees it. Then it won't look quite so bad.

starlover · 09/05/2005 15:08

when she asks where the table is just say

"table? what table?"

or go out. PMSL at Starlover

I also suggest you start thinking of a way of "paying her back" then. Have all this info ready, with an action, plan, a GOOD excuse, and it all tidy - and then tell her.

But did it feel good Anna?

crunchie · 09/05/2005 15:13

Have you got good home insurance? For 'accidental damage' Is there any way you could have fallen into the table ??

it felt good at the time, as did throwing my mobile phone and watching it shatter into pieces but my mobile phone is ok. now its reality. a nanny who kicks tables in?!?! who's gonna employ me now? think i'll have to go into early retirement at the grand old age of 21.

She'll say why didn't you do that to your ex's head, instead of my lovely table?

Janos · 09/05/2005 16:08

Err, is it your table Anna? Cos if not you're in pretty deep sh*t, aren't you?

Probably a good idea if you follow Hulababy's advice!

I texted her and told her she might be mad at me, then she text back 'why', and I told her what happened but she said she doesnt mind!

Janos · 09/05/2005 16:21

Lol, Janos - I think it looks so much nicer and spacious without it. Whats that saying - less is more?!

I remember my dw phoned me once to say that she'd just ripped up her new suit. Said she just felt angry for no reason.

morningpaper · 09/05/2005 16:59

You did her a favour dispensing with the pot pourri - what is this, 1987?

Sounds like she's seeing it generously though - a narrow escape!

Lol, I didn't stamp on the table!!! I got my sword out and swished it and swoshed it and cut it to shreds!
Really I just roared out a great big roar, making my 2 little dogs tremble bless - they did get a cuddle and an apology afterwards!, then I sort of kicked the table and it just collapsed and the legs snapped in two and the pot pourri went on the floor.

Shoddy table. Your mum should be grateful.
