not knitting/sewing your own clothes

allowing your dc to play with plastic crap

I think you forgot using a mooncup. (I love mine)

noooooo cos that is definitely lentil weavery. i am asking what non-lentil weaver type things are allowed among the lentil weavers.

Oooo, sorry. Misunderstood

lol

You left out:

• using nappies (at all)

• having a car

oh yes didn't think about the car. i forgot having a dishwasher too.

I prefer to think of myself as a youghurt knitter that a lentil weaver. And youghut knitters can do all of that stuff - except the controlled crying and the cot.

so if you are a yoghurt knitter you have to co sleep?

yoghurt knitters can use disposables

Ah no, you obviously haven't read the Youghurt Knitter's Manifesto (available in all good bookshops but not Tesco. YK's don't use Tesco)

YK's don't have to co-sleep,(but we often do because it's easier. YK's like to make things easy) YK's don't use cots - they use mattresses on the floor or futons.

I'm with Pann

and why is this site stuff?

Is this thread in the spirit of genuine enquiry or is this a veiled pop at our lentily friends?

no if you do any of these things we stone you

why do you ask?

I'm offski to work....do try to play proper...plaintive plea...can see split lentils and organic brown rice all over the floor before lunchtime.....

I think that true lentil weavers try to be kind and non-judgemental to all. So leave them alone.

katelyle, ah, now see, lentil weavers don't shop. At All. If we can't grow it ourselves or, well, Weave It From Lentils, it ain't worth having! [Smug emoticom]
Yoghurt-knitting Splitters!!!

driving
dishwasher
tumble dryer
wine (organic or otherwise)
tv
smoking (contentious I know and actually I hate it too)
chocolate to stop toddler crying
bribes for teenages
sleeping only with my dp not children
shouting very loudly at said toddler when I can't stand any more demands to kick the ball in the garden (perhaps this is a new thread, how do you cope with the repetative monotonous demands of a 16 month old who refuses to speak but does sign, am regretting the day I ever started teaching him to sign it was only because my friends child of the same age is deaf)
