Listography - Bad Combinations

OK, I admit I was struggling a little for inspiration for this weeks Listography. Until, that is, I saw a post from my sister on Facebook which I am shamelessly stealing for this week's theme.

The topic is 'Bad Combinations' and to get you in the spirit of things I thought I'd offer up some inspired suggestions from her and her friends*:


Wind \ Hair \ Lipgloss

Old people \ The Internet

Brush Teeth \ Orange Juice

Playing Playstation \ Itchy nose

Cinema Popcorn \ Cleavage

Sitting in traffic \ Needing the loo

Bixini Waxes \ Dignity

Ok so you get the picture. Obviously none of these people have young children as nobody mentioned number one on my list:


1. Toddlers \ Hangover.
Well any child really, but at least babies sleep a bit in the daytime and at least older kids can be pacified with TV and chocolate. Toddlers just want to jump on your head and tumble down the stairs.

2. Toddlers \ Sudocream.
It's a right of passage isn't it? You left the tub of sudocream on the bedside table and now your 2 year old has bulletproof cream plastered all over his hair \ clothes \ carpet \ toys. I will say no more on the matter because I have a funny feeling Hannah from Metal Mummy will be developing this particular choice.


3. Swimming pool \ Hairy Legs \ Someone you know.
*Shudder*


4. Bad Hair Day \ Perfect Mums.
You're tired. It won't matter if you just wear your tracksuit and parka on the school run will it? You can always hide your bad hair under that woolly hat your mum gave you. A pair of shades and no one will know who you are. Will they...? 'Oh coooey - is that you Kate'.


5. Mortgage \ Ireland.
'Nuff said.

Now it's your turn. The list is endless so just pick you own five favourite Bad Combinations and post them on your own blog. Then come back here and put your details in the linky below. And don't forget to visit some of the other entries.

Enjoy!



*Thanks to Maria, Ronan and Sian for those wonderful combos.

    Yep am familiarwith all those especially the sudacream - not easy to get out of the carpet either. Mine for today is clean washing/ rainy showers!! Just waisted all morning trying to dry my washing on the line to no avail.

    That's a cracker, as usual, Kate. Your Number 3 is brilliant! Male equivalent is Paunch/Pool/Dad With Washboard Stomach

    Haha great theme as usual, much fun to do. And I sympathise with the Sudocrem. My baby girl seems to be magnetically attracted to it...

    I'm in - love the theme.

    Unfortunately have experience of the toddler+hangover and toddler+sudocreme combos.

    Take care.

    Screaming children and a hangover = rough day.

    I think my sudocrem/toddler day coincided with the hangover/toddler. I've tried to wipe it from my memory, but it still makes me twitch when I am reminded of it.

    I just bought a pot of sudocrem it's in the 'stuff for the baby' pile. Think I'd better put it under lock and key.

    Hehe, I can relate to the sudocream. Although I do recall as a child mixing potions whilst in the bath. Everything would be mixed up together, toothpaste, shampoo, bubble bath, cream. Lovely concoctions. Guess all kids love to mess.

    What a great theme! Narrowing it down to 5 takes restraint :/

    Hi Kate. Love your blog. I think there might be a few bad combinations on my list that you and your followers could probably relate to.

    Thanks for letting me share.
