Mumsnet #3

[Sunlifeover50]

Aibu to buy instant coffee I love my Nespresso but I don’t expect to be given one at my friends etc so I’m pretty sure Dave the builder won’t give a feck if his 10 coffees a day are dowe & Egberts instead of a Creme brulee barista collection

Slightly O/T but why did so many people (me included) think Centre Parcs was under a giant dome so you’d never get wet if it rained? Is it some sort of Mandela Effect?

Never been either I don’t fancy paying £1500 for a 3 night stay when I could go to BiLs caravan in morecambe for free my friends been quite a few times and said the prices were crazy to eat and drink. Sure she said something like £9 for one of those small bottle of Proseccos in the pub.

I was accused of being Nicola Sturgeon once!

Fucking hell! Mumsnet is mental at times and loves to jump to conclusions, but even by their standards that's gold

 

[mousey]

must have gone everywhere when she gave her head a wobble

This genuinely made me laugh so much hahahaha

Anyone remember the poster on mumsnet trolls called orange that we thought was a troll? She has a Reddit site wide ban now. We were right. That May poster was banned again but it’s obvious she is a troll, I think she is on her tenth account or so.

 

[HockyRorror]

Im off to look for it. I need a good laugh.

It’s in Chat, not AIBU btw

The bisexuality thread has some sanity in comments but OP is a huge drama queen. "I cried for weeks." Why, for heaven's sake?"

The swimming pool is under a giant dome BUT…. (Whispers)…. So is butlins

The accommodation (cp) is all in the woods (at least the nearest one to us is).

Anyone else see the thread where her 2 year old came out with ‘stupid mummy’ after hearing her use the word stupid in an argument with her OH and was beside herself told her daughter if she ‘thought mummy was being stupid she could tell her’ wtf???? I don’t have kids but that is a slippery slope to letting your kid call you all the names under the sun and you just going ‘yeah, I am stupid’ have some self respect

Well, to be fair, she does sound thick as mince. But I made the decision not to ever call my children stupid, even if they did something stupid and I expect the same courtesy from them.

I just can’t with this whole poo crumb thing!
All day today I kept thinking of it and each time just wtf
Multiple threads on there about poo crumbs!
How did I get to be late 30’s, four children without ever knowing what a poo crumb was?!!
This is like a whole new chapter for me. I feel like right now you’re the only people I can talk to about this - when I’m ready to talk. Still in the wtf phase!

Wish I never googled it to be honest. Was so blissfully ignorant about poo crumbs damn that morbid curiosity getting the better of me. Again.

Poo crumbs

I'm sincerely sorry!!

 

[Phoenix Lazarus]

They are horrible about mothers in law on there.

To be fair, we have quite a thread going on on that topic!

 

[Eurgh]

God I hate Emma Bridgwater. So ugly and cumbersome.

 

[Anasnake]

There was also collective horror at washing tea towels with other washing.

 

[Sunlifeover50]

I did love the Mexican house thief story tbf

 

[sixdinnersid83]

What have I missed? I'm not familiar with that person, but I am intrigued

She was banned but back now. Has a habit of making others feel awful about their own marriage, children etc and exaggerates her wealth. Was LeQueen.

lives a very pedestrian life and nothing wrong with that. But her insecurities turn her to exaggerate and inflate things.

no idea why she was allowed back but her dull lies and misrepresentation of a pretty average lifestyle in an attempt to belittle others will be her downfall.

she is on here I am sure.

 

[sixdinnersid83]

I think she played a bit of a game with the troll hunters in that much of what she said was true. I remember them mocking her about certain things to do with publishing that they definitely were wrong about. She must have enjoyed that.
I could never work her out. Strange lady and a bit of a hyacinth character.

 

[HarryToby]

I think I saw your thread. Hope you’re all feeling okay?

So far so good, thank you for asking. Two days of negative lateral flow tests up until now and we have PCR's to take and send off tomorrow. Fingers crossed

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

As an ex teacher, the secondary education ones always have me in bits.

“which house should my son apply for at Eton/Winchester/Westminster?” Cue the old favourites rushing in, name dropping, talking shit about their husbands having gone, all their brilliant sons having gone and who are now excelling and loving life at Oxbridge.

Heaven forbid, their DD or DS has to attend an academy.

Had to stop reading during lockdown because they were so horrid about the work being set and supposed lack of contact from the teachers.

 

[EmilyChambers]

The style and beauty threads kill me.
There's one at the moment, everyone falling over themselves to rave about an item the OP has posted which really isn't very nice at all. They're such an echo chamber though, the first poster says that's lovely and they all follow suit. Ditto if it's something they don't like. Ugh.

I made the mistake of posting for outfit suggestions once. Never again!

The wedding dress or the valentines dress and the boots she wants to wear with it?!

The wedding dress is ugly and those boots will NOT match the dress

 

[Slothgang]

Has anyone seen the thread yet about the craziest things they did out of covid paranoia ... bloody hell.

 

[mindlessness]

For a bunch of ‘middle class’ people () they really are thick as fuck - there’s a thread at the moment where the OP states HPV was detected at her latest smear. One of the responses (among other shit ones) was ‘I would be asking your husband some serious questions’. What on Earth?! Maybe try educating yourself before trying to make the thread an affair hunter style one. Idiots.

They love affairs and the possibility of affairs/scandal. Why not just watch Corrie or EastEnders?
