Listography: Bad Combinations
Posted in General
This is a blinder of a theme Kate, and as promised, I will be including some positive awful Freyja moments.
Bad Combinations is a mixture of things that just. don’t. go. No matter what way you look at it, that mix shouldn’t have ever been made. Ever.
Here’s my list of bad combos. Be amused.
Freyja and Sudacrem.
Seriously, they just don’t go…
James and Jalapenos.
Unfortunately (for me), he loves these spicy chillis.
However, his arse doesn’t, and he stinks out the house for the following few days leaving me with a serious case of poo-particlitis*
*That’s not a real word (who’d have guessed?) – It’s my definition for being stuck with the same smell for so long, that wherever you go, you can still smell it.
Hannah and shots.
In moderation, not so bad. In excess, horrendously vile and will result in me screaming “It’s not cheese, it’s pasta” at innocent bystanders during me projectile vomiting out of the passenger door of my mates car.
It also results in me falling asleep in my own sick.
And lobbing lighters at people because they’re broken.
(The lighters, not the people)
Hannah and Gap Kids.
Even if I only had a tenner to my name, it’d be gone if I went into this shop. It’s a dangerous dangerous place, filled with bright colours and awesome jeans.
It doesn’t help when they lure you in with “30% off” signs everywhere and ridiculously chirpy sales assistants who actually make decent conversation about stuff other than the weather.
This shop is like a really strong magnet. Even if I’m walking along the opposite side of the shopping centre, I get drawn to it like a moth to a light bulb. Just. Can’t. Stop.
Hannah and People
Yep. Me and people. Somehow, I always manage to drop the standard of the conversation to involve something revolting, like poo, tramp phlegm or toilet tennis.
It doesn’t really matter who it is either. Anyone’ll do. I like recounting tales of embarrassment or humour, even if it is in the middle of job interviews.
Disclaimer: You guys who I will be seeing at Cybermummy will be no different. I apologise in advance.
I also don’t bode well with people because I say it how it is. Annoys people how blunt and honest I am sometimes. I really need to find some tact.

haha. You WILL get stuck at the bar with me and a shot glass I’m afraid. At least once. Bear in mind, when I was that ill, I’d had 25 shots. I don’t plan to have that at CM.
And as for being blunt. I’m only blunt to complete pillocks.
You’re not a pillock.
I hope.

GAP KIDS, otherwise known as baby clothes mecca. Everything I’ve bought there for Moo makes her look extra gorgeous. Fact. THEY SHOULD TOTALLY DO THE CLOTHES IN ADULT SIZES!! I would wear stripy leggings and a dungarees dress. I would. *cough*

I adore it. I can’t help it. I went in yesterday and got her an outfit and I didn’t even realise what I was doing until the transaction had been authorised.

You had me at “me falling asleep in my own sick.”

Not the first time either.
I washed it out in the morning by dipping my head in the sink.
Then went to work.

Disgraceful shocking behaviour, love it nearly as much as the Sudocream madness.

Shots are only ever a good idea at the time… Afterwards, not so much!
Have similar chilli issues in our house. What is it about men and spices?

bless Freyja. She looks like she doesn’t like sudocrem much any more.

HAHA! I had a similar incident, not only with sudocrem but also with vaseline! It took about 4 days to get the stuff out of my son’s hair, even with repeat shampooing!

:-) thanks for the laugh. That picture was fantastic. She looked mortified.

haha, she does doesn’t she! Dunno why… she did it willingly! (except for the mohawk. I did that.)

And to think I had actually been looking forward to meeting you. (Note to self – do not get stuck at the bar with Hannah and a shot glass).
