OK, so some of you may know I am with child. And some of you may know that I sometimes swear. Badly. Not often, but it would appal my mum. She'd be seriously shocked if she could hear me in a proper rage...
Anyway, S and I have both (separately) seemed to conclude that we (as parents-to-be) swear too much at times. So, I would like suggestions for mummy-friendly curses, such as the following:
Golly-gosh willykins [S has actually used this]
Whoopsadaisy
Bobbins [love this, another S special]
Fudge
Sugar
Crivens
Gosling [mum once told me it was ruder than 'fuck', which I had picked up off some oafish boy, so I called several kids in my infant school playground 'goslings' - no one questioned it]
Suggestions, readers?

Jings, Crivvens, Help ma Boab!
Derived from Jesus, Christ, Help me God, as far as I know.
Used by the Broons and Oor Wullie - cartoon strips - I don't know how well these characters are known south of the border, but we grew up with them! x
Damnation!
Somehow it satisfies, and as no-one could take offence it won't matter if baby MD echoes it (as my daughter used to, with glee and relish).
how about swearing in a different language, preferably a really obscure one. Not only will you still get to swear but you'll sound cultured and refined ;)
Bugs Bunny would say Dang Nabbit sometimes.
Heheh, damnation! Love it, Signs.
Also think Jings is fab. I don't know those cartoon strips, NMJ, but I will look them up x
Chris, that's a good one, too. I had some Indian friends at primary school who taught me some terrible words. I can still recall all of them ;)
Congtratulations!
And it's not good asking me about not swearing, I'm afraid - but I'm sure you'll find a way! ;-)
