Mumsnet #64 New thread. NOW

[Brandshinynew]

Shithole let slip that she reads comments on here the other day, she edited the post to remove it, it was pointed out to her it still shows she argued it and got it removed by MN.

 

[Wooh]

I’m not surprised you’re all DFat. You all say you poo, which suggests you eat. <tinkly laugh> I’m a breatharian and one canister of Himalayan air does me a year.

Do not even laugh about it. I worked with a dbreatharian!! She couldn't work out why her transcendent state of meditation resulted in constant dizziness or why coffee made her sick. I couldn't work out why she drank coffee or why I had to put up with that BS. I'm triggered

Has anyone said eating junk food, snacking, takeaways or obesity yet?

I am currently eating junk food - a 4 pack of eclairs washed down with the best part of a warm loaf of bread I just made and some cans of Lidl Kong. I'm a size 14/16 so am obese as fuck. I'm binge watching 24 Hours in Police Custody (I'm sure they'd have an opinion on that) and vaping (indoors). And the best part is that I am husband and kid free because he's taken them to the pub (alcoholics) with a bunch of other Dads and kids from my son's football team (common hooligans).

They would be having conniptions trying to understand why I deem this to be a perfectly normal, nay fucking delightful, way to spend a Saturday afternoon/evening (family time).

"Do you like my nails?" asks one poster today (hot pink/statement nail manicure). Among the usual, immediate nasty comments of women falling over each other to call it "tacky," this person seems to have once been attacked by a brightly-coloured nail art set and has unburdened herself on the thread as therapy:

Imagine being like that in real life. If a colleague asks you if you like their nails you go on a monologue like that instead of just saying "yeah nice".

'As a heads up about my character, I'm a chartered accountant' -Shit I read on Mumsnet 2025.

Thread title potential right there

And seeing as you’re elderly at 35 on there, what age is peri? About 21?

It should kick in around the same time as you've saved your first £100k, so I'd say 15

I hate the way they use contractions and drop the word "got" on MN. "You've not" sounds like Hyacinth Bouquet trying to sound posh when it just sounds affected.

I also hate "needs gone" with a fiery rage, although I think that might be a regional thing.

“Needs gone” irritates me too. I don’t know about it being regional. I hear it here in the US. I have a team member at work who says “this needs changed/canceled/removed” etc all the time. And I internally scream when I hear it.

 

[Shimmering]

Lots of replies deleted by mn on ShitHole's weight loss post, wonder what they said?

Said it was OK to eat bananas on BIWI's bootcamp?

Chunky boots goth type looking for advice for a dress to attend a wedding. Gets sent this https://batsheva.com/collections/dresses

I'm saying this kindly - You want to be careful with that Himalayan air.

It might be rich in anti-oxidants, but it's full of Yak Butter fumes which are highly calorific.

Just remember - a little goes a long way.

I'm sure there was a comment not long ago where someone claimed a parents in the schoolyard beef turned into one mother getting run over

My friend is a teacher and that actually happened at her school.
Parent A was shagging Parent B's ex so parent B drove her car at parent A in front of everyone at pick up time. Parent A was in hospital with broken bones. Parent B went to stay with family elsewhere for a few weeks to lay low before returning like she owned the place. Police weren't particularly interested, lack of evidence apparently despite everyone seeing it happen.

We meet up every school holiday so I'm looking forward to an update soon.

He's gone up north? Won't he die of malnutrition and/or hypothermia?

At least he’s gone to an Oasis gig, not a Coldplay one.

My dad froze to death. Wonder how many arguments I could shut down on MN with that one?

That’s perfect! You could use it every time someone says “it’s a beautiful day” and you’ve got at least 2 months to toss it like a grenade at anyone complaining “it’s too hot to sleep”.

Or Tattle group holiday to Barrybados aka Barry Island in South Wales, which would be a lot cheaper and we could get a drink at the Dolphin and play the slots in Nessa’s arcade.

 

[SkinkaareFan]

Lots of snarky responses in this thread (as well as lots of mumsnetters talking about how beautiful they were once!)View attachment 3631754

I think it's possible that bars went quiet when she walked in because they were talking about how highly she thinks of herself and how huge her ego must be..

 

[Iamthebosun]

Has the 'bereavement leave for miscarriages' thread turned into a 'bun fight' and people arguing that people shouldn't get it because they didn't have it? Of course it has.

Lots don't want it to be allowed because people will take the piss, yeah, they will, like people take the piss out of every other policy or rule or whatever that gets you something, does that mean it shouldn't be available for those who need it though.

 

[Geetbo]

Me neither. I felt, quite rightly, that my time would be better spent smoking a shit load of weed on a beach in Mexico, so that is what I did.

Similar, I was in Spain making as many new male friends as I could.

 

[Cinnabun]

Spenny things you don't understand...

One of the first replies is fish and chips..

Not Disney trips, botox, tattooes etc but fish n chips.

Explain like I am a total moron pls!!

And lots just saying takeaways.

Along with "We can cook much nicer food ourselves". Oh really? Like a tasty lamb madras or a succulent Chinese meal?

Shhh or the holiday will be ruined by MNers showing up looking for an invite to Tattle. Keep the deets in the VIP room or under spoilers!

I'm Southern and I have absolutely no idea what you lot are talking about!

Oh you aren't fluent in Northern!
