Mumsnet #14 A handhold please

The looks seems to be 'Clinical Depression at Boarding School'.

I call this one 'Seeing Araminta Dooms-Patterson heading towards me across the Quad'

'Mother told me she didn't have time to go to the outfitters, so I'd just have to wear last year's clothes for Lower 6th'

'I know that Winter Uniform Rules state that shorts must be worn at all times, but for Heaven's Sake Mother, I'm Head of Maths now'

'Felix, Darling, you'll grow into it. Do stop making that face'

'We decided that it would be best for our Summer Born to be educated out of year. She's just about to take the Common Entrance and she's doing terribly well'

'Ah, Russell-Fffffffforde, how was teaching Lower School Sex Ed this morning?'

I’m sure you were noticed strolling into the office looking like Laura Ingalls on acid.

Saved this as a momento from the trolls thread. Thought you’d all like it.

They act like the world will end if you send a fucking nude, like do they actually know how many nudes are out there? Literally no one cares bro.

Actually it’s a big safeguarding issue (my field). When sending “nudes” is normalised, no big deal, everyone does it etc by adults, teens and younger children are more easily convinced. Then it isn’t “nudes”, it’s sharing images of child sexual abuse.

Even the word “nudes” make it sound tasteful and grown up.

It’s a big issue in schools. I’ve had dealings with many 13-15 year old girls who send nudes pretty much on request, because no one cares and everyone does it.

Adults can crack on. They can asses their own risks of them getting out there. Although “revenge porn” is also an increasing problem where partners and ex partners upload the images and cause massive distress.

So imo it is a big deal. Far reaching consequences.

Although having now read that thread, the nudes thing is the least of her worries.

Well you are all a massive bunch of fatties aren't you! I have trained my body to be completely self sufficient. I only drink my own piss and eat my own shit, that is why I am as thin as a page of A4 paper and 12 feet tall

 

[Livia Fantasy]

A man… A MAN!l (!!!) just opened my gate. Walked all the way up the driveway (past my strapping DS1’s bicycle - which he LOOKED AT, SUSPICIOUSLY) and put something through my letterbox which made the dog bark and woke DD2 up AND this so-called “letter” had my full name and address on it! How does he know who I am and where I live? I’m too terrified to open the door now so I didn’t get the registration of his little red van. WWYD?!!

"Was I acting middle class back in 2013?"

Also I'm casting doubt on this claim from Campsie. NOBODY is as obsessed with class as a middle class Mumsnetter.

‘Any thoughts?’

Yeah, fuck off, you twat.

 

[Iceache]

Im going to create a thread asking how many of my five a day does my blueberry vape constitute

 

[Livia Fantasy]

Well obviously LOG IT with the special police number for mumsnetters! What else!

Hi Livia’s Mum’s Auntie here. Just an update to say that Livia - who I recognise because I know she has a house with a gate and a driveway - has had a case of the vapors and is being rushed to the pub after she saw on the envelope with her details there was a little picture of the queen rip. Handhold for her grief please

Quite fun this. I’d do this all day but I’ve got some ducks to organise

 

[nicalibres]

You lot obviously just don’t know fashion! I personally love looking like I’m part of a fundamentalist Christian sect and about to marry my cousin Jedidiah

My favourite comment of today

I’m in work and can’t reply now but have been through this

If you're at work and can't reply then why the fuck are you on mumsnet replying!?

 

[Serene Serena]

They act like the world will end if you send a fucking nude, like do they actually know how many nudes are out there? Literally no one cares bro.

A girl I work with sent nudes to the work WhatsApp group though The moral of this story is to never have work and boyfriend WhatsApp next to each other. Now we all know what her fanjo looks like and she’s been off sick with stress ever since.

 

[Livia Fantasy]

Ate a yoghurt that expired 10 minutes ago will I die?

I’m afraid so. Give it 50-70 years. RIP. You’re with Clurr and the Angles now xoxox

 

[JarvisCockerSpaniel]

Honestly, how the fuck do they think those of us who only earn £1k a month cope.
£1k AFTER outgoings I'd be in fucking dreamland

Have you thought about taking in ironing?

 

[raspberryjuice]

Whenever I go to sainsburys they ID me for paracetamol, which you have to be 16 to buy. I’m 35 and work nights so look like I’ve been dug up from the depths of hell 99% of the time. It always irrationally annoys me because I assume they’re just taking the piss. Especially when they then don’t ID my boyfriend buying beer who’s 10 years younger and looks it.

Was slightly more annoyed when I was suit shopping with him for a wedding once though and they thought I was his mum taking him to buy his prom suit bastards.

Nominating "He's 11 you dumb bastard" for the next thread title

"Uncle Nobhead's cream slip ons" for the Peter Kay fans here.

 

[Savewaterdrinkgin]

You’re all so greedy, I had a gulp of air and that’ll keep me going until lunch tomorrow

 

[MrsPiggleWiggle]

What do you do when you can't get your ears wet? Go swimming, of course!

And it's everyone else's fault if you get water in them.
