"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.

my mum's speciality lies in referring to things in a completely opaque and coded way, so that other people present (particularly the DCs) don't understand.

for example, she brings a toy bus along for DS and wants to ask me if it would be a good moment to give it to him. Which is a very considerate and thoughtful thing to do. But what she says is something along the lines of:
"shall I produce the wheeled item?"

To which I respond by going "What? What??" in an increasingly deranged and irritable way.

some bint in Waitrose told me that cream of tartar and tartar sauce are the same thing. I made my playdough to your recipe using tartar sauce. My playdough smells funny and is sticky beyond belief. I done wrong, haven't I?

Cod's popularity continues to rise:-

Yeh the whole cleaning thing. Thats just Fish and her crew trying to piss us off. Just confirms her TWAT status in my books.

be fair, cod's POD incident was ages ago and her twat should no longer be on our minds!

On a thread about the merits of using suppositaries...

"Prince is a JW. Can you imagine him knocking on your door? You'd look through the peep-hole, and you'd think there was no-one there..."

Was there actually a Mumsnet News this week? - because I didn't get it (not even diverted to junkmail) I did get Mp's round up though.

on the subject of pets..

to me it is just faff, hair, poo and grief (and I have children for that)

this thread

shh don't tell nutterlyUts but this is still making me laugh my head off:

I once spent a few minutes talking to a dog on the table at work telling it how pretty it was etc.. and yeah, thats right... it was dead thank god no-one saw me!

What I want to know is how did Nutterly finally realise the dog was dead,
was it when it didn't respond to the "pretty" compliment:

"Why thank you my dear, I was always told I was bit of a looker when I was younger"

Am I being unreasonable? :
To think that women will never have equality until they stop seeing men as walking wallet?

this quote

You may as well make the sweeping generalisation that for a woman to be desired she must have yoyo knickers and resemble a blow up doll.

What a load of bollocks rubbish.

Noooooooooooo!!!

I'm going to regret this aren't I?...
I realised the dog was dead when it wasn't breathing and just seconds after I spoke to it, the vet came in with a cremation bag and bagged it up

"I saw a photo of the founder of net-a-porter at the weekend and thought, "Why can't I pull off that effortless-looking preppy style?" And then I thought, "Oh yes, because I am a well-endowed size 20 and when I tuck that crisp white shirt into my jeans I look like Jeremy Clarkson."

Thank you - but I'm actually ahead of myself for once, and have this week's QOTW already cut and pasted into the newsletter.

aww!!! I wanted to nominate this from TalcySplicesTheMainbrace on one of the pirate talking threads
