Hahaha I’m so glad I’m not alone in cringing myself inside out and back again at the S&B thread. A couple of posters in particular try to emulate the one contributor (who is usually the OP) who always does look good. Or try and get her to validate their tragic choices. Then there’s the headbanger who regularly buys outfits, wears at her leisure and then sends back for refunds and sees no problem with that at all 
. She also moralised about Sézane’s brush with cultural appropriation and encouraged boycotting, only to carry on buying from them herself weirdoooooo

Has anyone else seen the thread where the OP is claiming she has no money for food the rest of the month? Awful yes? Until you read it and you find that her DH earns 30k a year, she is a ‘SAHM’ and rather than starving to death they will have to ’survive on beans on toast and other things as cheap’ They will also have to give up all their treats and days out so they can afford Christmas.
So like everyone else then? And tell me, what is wrong with beans on toast?
Its one of the healthiest meals you can eat cheaply ffs

Maybe she’s worried about all those beans making her fart? As we know that none of them ever trump in front of their other halves
Then there's the ones who have the DH and the whole family plus the neighbours (I never exaggerate, ever) in the bathroom while they use the toilet.Maybe she’s worried about all those beans making her fart? As we know that none of them ever trump in front of their other halves
There's a happy medium imo
There was one poster who was often on there - momamatrix? Or similar name and she dressed beautifully, her house looked stunning in the background too.Hahaha I’m so glad I’m not alone in cringing myself inside out and back again at the S&B thread.

However another one who used to be prolific I genuinely thought was a transitioning man when I saw her photos on Twitter after the Jack monroe debacle. She isn’t.
'trump' makes me want to fart really really loudly, along with all the other twee euphemisms. My MIL, when the children were babies, used to talk about 'bottom burps'. It's a FART FFS!
On the other hand, there was a thread in AIBU yesterday about a DH whose farts were so toxic that even the toddler complained while he was changing her nappy and fartedMaybe she’s worried about all those beans making her fart? As we know that none of them ever trump in front of their other halves

On the subject of farts, hands up who has read James Joyce's love letters to his wife Nora?
It could be worse. ‘Pump’ for example. I bet MNers all pump.
EllaPaella is another one who had amazing clothes and hair and house looks lovely.
not as bad as the one who was worried she was going to lose her house because they only earn ‘£64k’ after tax and left with ONLY £700Has anyone else seen the thread where the OP is claiming she has no money for food the rest of the month?

A month after bills
It's the new thing. My husband only earns six figures and we know have £2000 after bills and a quarter mil in savings. How will we possibly cope?
I feel your pain. I might even have to give up shopping for treats in the local famer's market and - heaven forfend! - go to that place called Aldi instead. Would one's Bentley be okay in the carpark in such a place? I do worry about jealous poor people keying my luxury vehicle while I'm inside buying cheap avocados.
Don't remind me.
I have found my people. Can't stand "trump" or "pump". I think pump is more crude than fart, tbh.
Everyone knows the polite term is 'passing wind', or 'expelling gas'.
However, my favourite might be 'i could feel it rattling down my legs'.

There was one a few weeks ago where she earned £60k and moaned she had no money. But put £750 a month into a pension.Has anyone else seen the thread where the OP is claiming she has no money for food the rest of the month? Awful yes?

But if you pointed out to them that actually they’ve just got their priorities all wrong and are probably tit with money you’d be attacked get piled on by the hierarchy.
Could you do a diagram?
They really swallow any sort of rubbish on there. A parking thread has them foaming at the mouth and salivating for details.
