I always imagine a large chunk of MNs at work sitting in a polyester pencil skirt and short-sleeved tie neck combo, pursing their lips at anyone who doesn’t fit in, and eating diet yoghurt at their desks for lunch. Something like Victoria Wood and Julie Walters reading their horoscopes to each other, if anyone else remembers that wonderful sketch.
Mumsnet #38 imagine spending £100 on a notebook and writing 'bleach arsehole' in it

Yeah same for my brother, he’s in an NICU so not many of those emergencies on flights!
Talking of thongs , who remembers the fad of bejewelled g strings at the back where you would have the diamanté on show if you bent over . I have a feeling I was over 30 and should have known better but I had a butterfly one to show I was a with it mum !
Now I’m 56 and it’s Rosie from M and S knickers for me . Not quite in my full briefs era like me mum is !

Whale tails!
Some of the girls in my office had those on display at work. Not nice.
Yes I was 21 working in a bar all the other girls had them on display we all had lower back tattoos too . My favourite were my glittery butterfly thongs we called it our bum bling
I know a lot of people post on there about really weird things when they've got major anxiety about minor things when they are new parents. But some of them go so far the other way it's insane, asking for advice on things that are so bleeping obvious. Someone has posted asking what to do - her 19 month old daughter had a seizure on Saturday and went to hospital. Today child's nursery have called to say said child has mottled skin, a rash and is floppy and OP is wondering whether to take her to the GP or the hospital. I mean really
Until you're banned or suspended, how do you even know you've pissed them off? From what I gather, they don't communicate about it or warn you, they just do it? I've had the odd deletion, usually for troll hunting (and usually on threads that were subsequently deleted because GUESS WHAT) but they've never contacted me about it.

Gotta say I don't think it's office appropriate. Other than that...young women wear silly fashion they'll cringe about in years to come, sky subsequently falls in...
I had one of those. Gave myself a full Hollywood , arse crack and all.
Thankfully I’d have been about 15 vodka shots down by the end of the night - but really? What was I expecting to achieve?
Just popping on to boast confirm I renew my underwear at least annually. 
This is due solely to my ever-increasing bulk rather than following any medical advice.

A few have said just leave the 16 year old at home. 16 is obviously the new 18 now where MNers basically don’t like their kids anymore and they can either pay £800 board a month or move out because they’re no longer their problem.A poster’s 16yo has been denied leave from their 8 hour contract weekly job to go on holiday.
One MNetter has replied to warn them that if they quit, as others have advised, this would leave a gap in their CV
Her husband is a massive twit, I've just read the thread.
I remember wearing one of those diamanté thongs to school feeling just about as sexy and confident as a 14 year old goth kid can feel, only to have the fucker ping itself into pieces halfway through the day 
I'm surprised that the nursery hasn't taken the baby to A&E themselves, or called and ambulance. They could have a meningitis epidemic on their hands.I know a lot of people post on there about really weird things when they've got major anxiety about minor things when they are new parents.

Well exactly! Wouldn't they call 999 first and call the parent next? One of the 1st things you learn to watch out for when you become a parent is meningitis and you know it is time critical.
Smells like a troll to me.
I’m about to start a PhD and I absolutely will be using my title at work, if I’m committing 6 years of my life to it I’m going to at least add it to my email signature. I won’t be offering any emergency assistance on a plane though, unless the emergency is someone having a baby.
There’s a thread running today of a woman whose husband had a years long affair, resulting in a baby, and she’s decided to take him back but can’t shake how miserable she feels. No tit hun, if my husband did that he would be my ex husband before his new baby learned to sit up. Jesus.

I read that earlier. To be honest the secret baby was just the icing on the cake for me- their whole relationship sounded miserable even before it got to that point. I hope she finds the strength to leave him and make a new life for herself.
She needs to get out, FAST
