"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 think LordVenger deserves a special MNer of the Week award for this post on the grooming thread, which manages to be both actually helpful and funny and sanity-inducing (skip to the last line):

Until the kids go to school, the only stuff you'll bother with is quick and/or long-lasting, so: if there's one thing you can invest time/money in, make it a good cut'n'colour that needs minimal styling. Mine just needs a comb-through when it's wet, dries naturally, and then gets backcombed and put up in a pony. I hope it's Catherine Deneurve, but I suspect it's more Amy Winehouse.
Shower: mix together sugar and olive oil in a jar, and use to simultaneously exfoliate and moisturise in the shower. Shave yr armpits, get out the shower, apply Dove or Johnson's holiday glow tanning cream.
Eyes: home-tint yr eyelashes (black) and eyebrows (whatever matches your hair). Saves so much time - you can basically apply lipgloss and blush and walk out the door. I pluck my eyebrows while the kids are in the bath - you're in the bathroom, bored, with tweezers. Might as well multi-task.
Do manicure/pedicure whilst watching the telly. Gold toes go with pretty much everything, and are very "2007", which I am reliably informed is what this year is.
Clothes: buy dresses. Spend all your money on dresses. They instantly made you look smart, even if it's just a £12 wrap from New Look with a nice pair of sandals and a necklace.
That said, I think anyone with a child below the age of three is allowed to leave the house wrapped in a duvet, with egg in their hair, and be met with nothing but murmurs of "Oh, you look fabulous." "

Kathy!
Please keep 'em coming.

Any more for any more???

MiL just piped up that she wants to give us power of attorney and that if she gets ill she wants us to turn the machines off.

Like we'd bother turning them on in the first place.

From this thread

Well, this made me laugh today, on a thread about an article in the Guardian on pregnancy guidelines:

By thehairybabysmum on Wed 30-May-07 11:22:09
".....this is M&S approach to pregnancy foods.

My reasoning was that as a lot of old ladies buy M&S food and they are also a group at risk from listeria then i figured it would be headline news if hoards of old folk were keeling over with food poisoning from M&S. As ive never seen anything like this on the news then i figured if i bought something in Marks it would be ok to eat!! "

I love that custy quote VVVQ

WanderingTrolley is being funny again here

Wandering Trolley - loved it!

This has got to be the quote for the next one:

I'm starting a collection for the 'send our MiLs on a one way trip through a safari park' - contributions welcomed. I'm thinking open top bus and giving them beef carpaccio to eat on the way.

WMMC does seem inspired by the topic of MILs doesn't she - perhaps we could have "WMMC's MIL quote of the week"?

sock-minded...means you are in two minds, but they are both fluffy and a bit wooley.

Fio:

"if he has his pants on it isnt a problem, but you dont really want to see someones todger bouncing around unless you have gone to a specific destination..."

Same thread, from SueBaroo:

"I'd be horrified at an eyeful of random tackle in unexpected public places."

I have to second the wandering trolley one about wee in the sink, that actually brought tears to my eyes

Any more?
