Ok... the saga continues...The task of going through the old This Morning thread and trying to marry the volunteers on there to the names in the book has flummoxed everyone. So a new thread, a new tack. If you recognise your musings (accredited or not, ie they don't have to have your nickname by them but you know it's you) AND have a penchant to share a sofa with me and Justine, please put your virtual hands up now.

Thanks
MNHQ

good plan with the quinoa. no right-thinking bird will eat that.

FrannyandZooey · 09/02/2009 20:54

FrannyandZooey · 09/02/2009 20:58

harpsichordcarrier · 09/02/2009 20:58

I had a boss who was always telling me to FOCUS.
unfortunately he was Swiss-German, so he pronounced it: FUKUS!
I tried hard not to snigger.

I am funny 99.999% of the time, aren't I Franny?

FrannyandZooey · 09/02/2009 21:02

well, perhaps 98.777777%
the rest of the time - scary

morningpaper · 09/02/2009 21:02

lol sorry Franny

actually most people who have said "Am I in it?" I look up their quotes and they are saying things like "I think it's great to beat them occasionally!" which seems bad

hunkermunker · 09/02/2009 21:12

I'm not in it.

I crossed out all the bits with me in in Borders today.

So strictly speaking, I'm not in those copies.

onebatmother · 09/02/2009 21:13

I think, in all the time I've been here, I haven't given a single piece of advice on toddlers or any other form of child

harpsichordcarrier · 09/02/2009 21:13
