What are middle class chocolates? Do they have less calories and sit judging the boxes of Milk Tray on the shelf next to them?

I feel like green and blacks is quite middle class it’s the only chocolate i eat but not because it’s specifically middle class

A takeaway a week is essentially poisoning herself and the entire family. She is drowning in UPFs there. Surely her own home cooked food is better than anything greasy and expensive? Hmm?

A friend of mine was an amateur photographer and was invited along to a local NCT group to take some photos and met a baby Ptolemy! Which may be the most pretentious baby name I’ve ever heard.

I have met an adult Ptolemy!!
Called" 'tol ".

I admit I had Hero on my list for my daughter after loving Friday’s Child by Georgette Heyer, which has a Hero in it, named after the character in Much Ado About Nothing. My husband was probably preparing himself for a fight but then Myleene Klass used it - she may have saved our marriage. (I would have chickened out and it doesn’t really work with the surname but I still think it’s pretty).

I thought Hero or Hiro was a Japanese name tbh?

Myleene Class has a kid called Hero.

I was speed scrolling and nearly lost my drink because I thought that said a kid called Hippo

Willie Harcourt-Cooze's products no doubt fit the brief.

IF I'm lucky enough to have another pregnancy, and that pregnancy turned into twin baby girls, I'd call them Dolly after Dolly Parton and Tammy after Tammy Wynette,

Almost worth getting two kittens to use those names, they'd be great cat names.

Nooooo they’re off the Mumsnet chocolate list because of PALM OIL. They all only eat that Tony’s one now. They love that. They’ll say things like ‘even Cabernet and Walker has gone to the dogs, and I could weep at what they’ve done to Lindt. We only buy Tony’s now, which is very reasonably priced’

It IS reasonably priced so I tried some recently. It tasted of bark.

On the '£500 M&S order' in S&B

£500? Pretty tasteless to brag when so many can't afford to feed their kids...

It wasn't an M&S order! Half the clothes came from other shops.

To be fair, just the title of that thread '£500 M&S Order - want to know what I bought' made me want to answer - NO.

Haha exactly. Who gives a duck? Go talk to some real friends, mumsnet isn’t your diary.

To be fair, she posted it in S&B, where people go if they want to chat about clothes.

I thought that too but she made it even more confusing as the links she posted were clothes that she already had and said that she was adding to, and then on her second post she went on to show the M&S clothes she bought. I was wondering when you started to be able to buy Primark in M&S but that wasn't even what she meant, she was just being stupid with how she worded it

These two thread titles in the first page of Relationships made me giggle.
