Someone has posted about wanting some advice for what to do with her savings and said she knows how lucky she is to be in a position to have saved £30k. It took about 4 replies for someone to come along and say £30k isn't exactly very much to have saved and could easily be wiped out

Weirdly, someone else also said that if OP got a basal cell carcinoma it would be used up straight away so OP should save it for healthcare costs. What the duck kind of advice is that
tit advice. Do you think they’ve just heard “basal cell carcinoma” and think it sound serious? Because it’s pretty much benign, you get it chopped off and carry on with life.

Also NHS? Who has healthcare costs in this country?

Even here in DAmerica my husband’s cancer treatment didn’t cost that. Not even close. Insurance covered all but $5k. And that $5k we could pay over several years.

Yeah, basal cell carcinoma is not really anything to worry about, the NHS will zap it off for free. I've currently got actinoid keratosis, got some cream, but if that doesnt work they'll do a biopsy because I have had 2 malignant melanomas. No requirement to spend £30K!!!

One of a kind is certainly one way of describing "let's stick the skirt off an old sofa on a baseball shirt and sell it for 230 quid"

They’re so weird about what they consider infidelity. This comment is to an OP who has a crush on a colleague. They’ve never acted on it because he doesn’t even know 🤣
(Nobody tell her about the Coldplay incident, she’ll drop dead from indignation)

Bottom of the barrel for having a crush on a married man?! Wait until she hears about murderers.

My favourite post this morning is about the abusive husband and his family and how she moved out to their country but felt isolated as didn’t speak the language, she tried to learn it but the locals just spoke back to her in English. She couldn’t divorce him because that would give his parents rights over their children

Was it the Middle East she moved to, India, possibly Pakistan?

No, it was Ireland.

If I saw some poor soul wearing this I’d assume it was laundry day or she was suffering poor mental health. My first thought would not be “wow! That’s a beautiful £400 ensemble”.
She looks like someone without a working carbon monoxide alarm whose hallucinations have made them think they're carrie Bradshaw.

I think she has sepsis....

(Apparently one of these girls (WOMEN) is Brooke Lynn and she has posted on Mumsnet before and had her posts deleted and some posters think it's her posting)
That one is such a weird post! They don’t look anything like each other but she’s claiming to see nothing but similarities and said they could be sisters.

Lots of posters are being mean/harsh/rude about their looks so maybe that was the OPs goal? They don't look alike apart from both being white, female humans
