"Get out! Mummy is ALLOWED to POO IN PRIVATE" seems to be my personal mantra at the moment. And whats nice about that is its memorable and good to teach all his friends at nursery. and the teacher. and to tell the doctor. And my work colleagues.

I like nominating people forquote of the week

You see, as parents of small children we are used to piecing together clues into some tentative semblance of a coherent theory (eg; DS referring to bathsalts as "cauliflower": took a few hours to twig that he meant cornflour, which I can kind of understand (they play with it a lot at nursery). Next to that figuring out if Sam Tyler is alive or dead or what is easy. Ish.)

Well this made me laugh...

i suppose if you have no idea of the correctmeaning of the ter it could be argued the term itself then becomes inoccuous.

rather like me calling someone a silly fucker - i am not saying their usual practice is to adorn a clown suit before proceeding to coital.

Hunker you can buy empty laundry baskets in Homebase, but every one I've bought fills up straight away, they're crap, total waste of cash.

I do a full load. I know when it's time to put the machine on because I have to go out wearing a crop top, a kaftan, cycling shorts and pop socks, everything else is in a ceremonial pile in, around and on the laundry basket.

I'm a looker, me.

DimpledThighs · 18/04/2007 21:25

"OMG can you imagine if this poor lad wakes up to find himself face down with his mother parting his but cheeks with a torch in one hand and sellotape in another. PLease wake him and at least let him know what is going on."
