50 ways to leave your lover…

Blogthis are celebrating their 50th challenge this week and I thought that I better get off my lazy bottom and finally enter one of these things. I have no excuse for my lack of participation in these weekly challenges except, well, laziness. As you will see I am really good excuses, but let’s just leave this one down to laziness. Sorry Blogthis, I hope you’ll forgive me?

This week the challenge was to come up with a list of 50 things. Anything really. Just 50 things….you wanted to know about me, places I want to go etc etc, you get the drift. 50 is A LOT so I needed to think of something that I had A LOT of experience at. So, I give you:

Comments

  1. 51. I can’t possibly, my sides hurt too much after reading Beth’s blog post…

  2. *lol****** so, so, true!

  3. My hubby has a friend who said to him years ago:
    During your relationship put a jelly bean in a jar everytime you have sex. After you’re married, take a jelly bean out of the jar every time you have sex. You’ll never run out of jelly beans.

    I used to think this very odd, but now, post baby, I can see truth in it. Sad, but true.

    Thanks for the laugh!

  4. Ha ha Beth this made me giggle. Especially the last part…it reminded me of when my best friend and I used to think (when we were like, 8) that the number of kids you had directly corresponded to the number of times you had sex. My friend was always proud of the fact that she had 4 kids in her family and we only had 3. And I don’t think we even knew what sex was, really…!

    xx

  5. Hilarious, what about 51 – I have had the kids on me all day, my body needs a break.

  6. You had me in stitches by #1

  7. Baahaha. Love the little *’s throughout. Funny. Well done. Great list.

  8. You may have left out that you need sleep πŸ™‚ Hilarious list. Sadly I relate to it πŸ™‚

  9. LOL! Too funny and scarily very true! Great list.

    πŸ™‚

  10. Last night I got the following responses from my husband πŸ˜›

    I haven’t had any sleep in days
    I’m really tired
    Can we do it tomorrow

    All I could do was laugh!

  11. Despite my freakishly insatiable desire for sex, this had me in stitches!

    loved it.

  12. I was running out of excuses, can I use some of yours? Thanks for sharing

  13. LOVE it! I am 17 weeks pregnant and, as with my first pregnancy, I would rather have my teeth removed (without pain relief) than have sex. This list has given me hope ;o)

  14. Ha ha ha. brilliant!!!!! I’m knocked up with bubba #3. I think my hubby realised very early on this time that it just isn’t going to happen much…so he barely tries! ha ha.

  15. hahahah…So very true.. I was running out of excuses…So thanks πŸ™‚

  16. When I was sick my favourite excuse was “it’s that time of the month”. I think my husband clicked on after the 5th week πŸ˜‰

  17. hahahahaha. funny
