Mumsnet #38 imagine spending £100 on a notebook and writing 'bleach arsehole' in it

[maytoseptember]

Remember the good old days when a bowl of pasta and special K were ‘healthy’. I miss those days.

My mum still labours under the misapprehension that pasta is “healthy”. If I’ve told her once, I’ve told her a thousand times…

I posted about it first, then several others said they had read it too. It's definitely written by a mumsnetter I thought the ending was a bit weak, did you?

It was very ‘fairytale ending’ and not what I hoped would happen. I’ll put my perfect ending in a spoiler.

Spoiler

I wanted Kate to be like meh, not my biological baby, not my psycho mother, not my problem Byyyyyeeeee, leave them all too it and get with the guy who was her friend who brought Jake to her party and have babies with him and live happily ever after and have a second book where Marisa is telling us about her life with weak Jake and his loony mother living in the cottage!

And yes I did try to give actual advice

You know you’ve found peak MN when someone oversleeping and being late for work is compared to Suzy Lamplugh.

Suzy Lamplugh with meningitis, no less.

Yes! I love the horse topic even though I don't ride and have zero interest in horses otherwise.

Please share

I have a horse (pony), but my yard only has sane people, as the yard manager is idiot intolerant (thank god)

My yard manager is an idiot unfortunately

Have wonderful time @Serene Serena I'd set my step kids on fire not really to be back in the arms of TUI again 🥲

If I get even fatter, I am blaming Mumsnet. Reading their fat shaming posts made me eat chocolate biscuits for lunch. I would rather be overweight than a judgemental idiot!

Being both could be fun though!

There was a woman who won 90 grand on Beat The Chasers the other day. She seemed like the person the Mumsnetters wish they were. I can’t even remember what it was about her but it sprung to mind as soon as she came on.

Nice work

How do you know you're banned? You just can't log in?

I can't believe they don't tell you when you're banned!

They didn’t tell me. I just couldn’t log in one day.

Happy birthday @Wackie Jeaver

There’s a ‘Please Stop Judging Me’ thread in Chat. Is it Shithole in another guise?

(I’m miles back on this thread which is why I don’t post much as you’re all moved on by the time I catch up)!

They are all frothing at the ‘cf parked on my drive’ thread. If there’s one thing you can guarantee will get you attention and multiple threads on Mumsnet, it’s posting something about parking. They were demanding a diagram too cus they’re soo funny

The parking thread was a bit of an anticlimax.
They will all have to find something else to do now.

I’m sure they are, just generates site traffic and daily mail clicks

It does, you're right! But she means these places: https://www.royalparks.org.uk/

It's sometimes necessary to call them the Royal Parks if you're actually referring to that specific group of them, but usually you could just call it a London park. And they're quite popular so I don't really see how saying you were in Hyde Park on Saturday would be outing unless you also have a husband who cycles. Or just lie and say you were in Richmond Park...or just say you were in a park/some gardens!

There's also Holyrood Park in Edinburgh which is now a Scheduled Monument and managed by Historic Environment Scotland. The roads are still technically owned by the Crown and the rest by Scottish ministers.

The Rita Ora thread

and the story continues - Babs and her bush bullied by the Pretty Boy Gardener

This one! The OP was told she should have swapped places with the woman who was desperate for the loo, rather than just let her in.

I can see both sides of the argument. If I was the op I wouldn’t bother with a Mumsnet thread about it though, because there are two sides of the argument some will agree with her and some won’t but some Mumsnetters will do it in a vicious way and she’s clearly already sensitive so why give them the opportunity to upset her more.

Al Rehab fan here too. My favourite perfume e er was Escada collection which they released every year in a different decorated bottle. Then they discontinued it .
Al Rehab - Dalal is the closest to it and so cheap.
