Probably can't afford the real thing, furiously typing on their laptops whilst staring wistfully at their heels with red painted on the solesOn a thread where someone calls Louboutins "common" and brags of having several pairs but now not knowing what to do with them, someone else responded with: "Only on Mumsnet would shoes worth hundreds be seen as common." We do like a bit of self-awareness
What the hive mind if MN don't understand, everybody is different and everybody has the right to do what makes them happy as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.I'm planning a wedding at the moment and this annoys me. I don't care if you got married in your lunch break, wearing your overalls from work, had a quick McDonald's and back to the job. If that's your dream wedding, great! But others are free to spend their money on whatever they want
Tsssk don‘t you know that cars blow up in petrol stations all the time..I used to laugh at the can I leave the kids in the car while I pay for petrol threads. Some of the posters were nuts. Cars blowing up was given as a reason and you getting knocked down returning to the car after paying for petrol (ignoring the fact that if you were carrying a child they would be also knocked down.
I wonder how many 112 calls start with ‘someone on mumsnet advised me to ring’
These ppl think that centre parcs is the pinnacle of luxury & good taste tho so cannot be trusted. Their husbands are spending their screen time writing motivational sob stories on LinkedIn and yearning for the toxic office culture of yesteryear cos they want to bully a slightly less senior sales team member in person.They all have ‘seriously hot husbands’ too. Depends what your idea of seriously hot is.
The biggest reason people want to go is so they can say Centre Parcs 500 times per day in the lead up. It’s bizarre, I’ve never felt the need to specify where I’m going on holiday beyond country / city, I’d never say the hotel or rental property’s specific name as that’s tacky? Yet the centre parcs huns thrive on itMy dad’s friend once took his three children to Center Parcs when they were children and he wasn’t impressed with it. He said it was like being mugged for your wallet as soon as you walked in. The only activity that was free was the swimming, everything else had to be paid for.
Bum sex is also “hilariously” mentioned in most Center Parcs threads.
I've worked in law firms with these men my entire career and can confirm 99% of them are fuck ugly and the ones who aren't are arseholes who think beige chinos are the pinnacle of fashion.They all have ‘seriously hot husbands’ too. Depends what your idea of seriously hot is.
That’s what I thought Centreparcs was like too!The Centre Parcs thing goes over my head. I used to think it was a holiday camp under a gigantic perplex bubble (bit like the Eden Project) so that if it rains all the activities can carry on. I thought that was it’s USP. But recently found out that isn’t the case. Never understood the “kudos” given to it by MN, even less so now I know it is a holiday camp with nothing extra to define it from other camps. And then the clique alludes to sexual activity- I don’t know what all that is about.
I’ve been wracking my brain to think of *any* hot man over 40 I’ve ever worked with and I’m struggling. The exceptions are very very big dogs in media (who arguably straddle the bridge between public figure in their own right and company X employee?) who are clearly getting tweakments and facials etc, and gay men. Straight middle aged men age like milk in the sun because they’re too arrogant to do anything & I don’t think the mumsnet huns’ stash of Elemis can reverse their tragic fate.I've worked in law firms with these men my entire career and can confirm 99% of them are fuck ugly and the ones who aren't are arseholes who think beige chinos are the pinnacle of fashion.
I asked a friend about this and, once she finished laughing, said she hadn't seen a job advertised with LWA in *years*. I was quite shocked as I remembered it being the thing when looking at London jobs, starting out myself about a decade ago.When your weekly ticket to work in London is 150 a week with one train a hour during rush hour we need as much London weighting as possible
I can think of one - a very nice, nicely dressed, down to earth senior lawyer I used to work for. He used to canvas for the Labour Party in his spare time, so it might have just been the fact he cared about people other than himself that made him attractive to be honestI’ve been wracking my brain to think of *any* hot man over 40 I’ve ever worked with and I’m struggling.

This is what’s confused me, I’ve not been but local NCT mums go on and on and then you see the Insta posts and it’s a child on a small wooden play frameThat’s what I thought Centreparcs was like too!I was quite disappointed it wasn’t actually under a giant dome.
I have a friend that goes every year and I just don’t get the appeal. To me, it sounds like a Haven/Butlins for the middles class. It’s soooo expensive for what it is. No wonder they love it on MN.
I think if you’re considering Centreparcs, it’s actually cheaper to go to a CP abroad. The prices here absolutely rocket in school holidays, but if you go to one of the European ones that have different school holidays, it’s a lot less. Apparently somewhere like Belgium? I haven’t looked into this too deeply though, because as I said, I can’t see the appeal personallyThis is what’s confused me, I’ve not been but local NCT mums go on and on and then you see the Insta posts and it’s a child on a small wooden play framelike I’d be up for going as it’ll be cheaper and so much easier than European holidays but it just looks so shit?
Well all the public service jobs include london weighting, they have informed all DOH, NHS I X E and DHSC staff if they do not return to the office they will remove it. Staff elsewhere in the country doing the same job do not get the same rate, hence the distance that many staff travel into LondonI asked a friend about this and, once she finished laughing, said she hadn't seen a job advertised with LWA in *years*.

Oh bless thank you, no I think it’ll be a hard pass purely as I don’t want to be around the huns going purely to stunt on WhatsApp groups and Insta!I think if you’re considering Centreparcs, it’s actually cheaper to go to a CP abroad.

Yep I’ve only seen it on public sector roles, these tend to be (criminally) underpaid and the weighting is woefully inadequate. I think a lack of London weighting is making it harder to hire junior or mid weight candidates in my sector as they’d earn the same up north and have a significantly better quality of life versus house shares and shit landlords. London’s not even as appealing anymore for young people tbh it’s been gentrified and sterilised to fuck.Well all the public service jobs include london weighting, they have informed all DOH, NHS I X E and DHSC staff if they do not return to the office they will remove it.
