You can’t link to MN from Tattle - what’s the gist?

Although I’m guessing it’s all orthorexia and snobbery as usual?

 

[Inforapenny]

Oooh ok that's annoying, let me dig it out. It's classic MN

"Thinking 10am bacon rolls and part bake chocopan and then dinner at 3pm?

What about you?"

Breakfast for us at Xmas was selection boxes grin.
As a kid we ate Xmas Dinner at 12 and had tea at 4.
As an adult it's still selection boxes for breakfast then dinner between 3 and 4 and picky stuff laid out for the evening.

We'll be doing a quick breakfast of crumpets (and Christmas chocolate blush) at 7/8ish, depending on what time DS wakes up, but it's generally early. Then brunch of bacon/sausage sandwiches and pastries at FILs late morning. Christmas dinner will be back at home around 4-5PM.

My husband is British, I'm not, so we mix traditions. We have a leisurely breakfast around 10. Continental breakfast with warm croissants, nice bread, boiled eggs, and a slice of stollen to finish. Then make the most of the day light by spending time outside, before coming back for cheese, oatcakes & mulled wine around 3pm. We then have a British-style Christmas dinner around 7.

This thread is peak MN.

I mean, I think most people would try not to but if they had to… sure?

Never EVER talk about infrequent washing of towels on Mumsnet:

Which generated this horrified reply:

All this within the first six replies. Six!

Only changing your towel every TEN days is pretty minging though

 

[HereForTheLarfASD]

I've just joined because I've had a laugh reading some of the threads and posts on here. Haven't done so on mumsnet for a while because everyone is so serious, always ready to preach and get offended over everything.

Surprised to find the infamous Tattle a bit of a breath of fresh air.

And I can post gifs too? Say no more!

 

[Eenymeenyminymo]

So her OH forgot to pack the 8 year olds presents…mad scramble for sweets and Roblox tokens (or whatever they are ) so she receives something. Turns out she got a new laptop 2 days ago, and at home has a sewing machine and a tablet waiting for her! And she’s going snowboarding tomorrow!

 

[Gym&Tonic]

None of them live near their relatives have you noticed? They all seem to live hours away and have to drive miles to be hosted by their in laws for xmas.

 

[SpindleWhorl]

I'm waiting with baited breath for the annual Bayliss & Harding slamming thread

 

[Gym&Tonic]

Mumsnet at Christmas is hilarious. I suppose it’s still far too early for a ‘DH got blind drunk on Baileys and ruined Xmas’ thread.But there are already the annual ungrateful children threads. Got to admit this one really made me laugh though. A poster wondering why her 13 year old wasn’t made up with the Juicy Couture tracksuit she’s bought her. I mean Juicy Couture?! Come on, it’s not 2003 anymore is it?! I’d be ungrateful too!

 

[SpindleWhorl]

The post where the OP got a dry shampoo spray from her DH is funny though

My 13yr old is clothes style fussy too, I dont just buy for her without checking though, I take her with me and then make note of what she hates and likes re clothes.

 

[Ineedmorecoffee]

Just reading the thread where the mum hasn’t received a present from her 14 year old. I appear to be in the minority because I wouldn’t expect my kids to buy me gifts. And I find it a bit odd and extreme to be giving my child my card, telling them what I wanted and reminding them to buy me something. A gift should come from the heart, not at gunpoint!

 

[Gym&Tonic]

If you are wondering why there is an LFT shortage look no further than MN. Some of them are doing multiple tests a day at the moment. They are wildly inaccurate in my own experience and they are putting way too much faith in them.

 

[Chunkeylaydee]

There’s some people getting their knickers in a twist on a thread called positive on Christmas Day. Telling people they are wrong to isolate.

I saw this one!! Access to a credit card at 14?! That was your first mistake love…

What even is a market town? Is this part of the geography GCSE syllabus that my school didn’t offer to us cos I just think of Brixton or Dagenham markets when they say this and I don’t think that’s the image they’re wishing to portray here?

 

[tortfeasor]

Don‘t forget Whistles, Hobbs and Uniqlo. Unless you are going someone really posh and then it’s always Mint Velvet.

I always look for presents for my Mum from Mint Velvet. It usually results in me getting told I spend too much but Mum’s worth it and they always seem to have some really nice clothes and jewellery in the collection,
