Mumsnet Talk

Rats, I was enjoying reading this thread till about page six and now I really want to eat some cake but I have sworn off sugar so I have to stop having fun and do some coughing (also have yukky cold but it is going away now thank goodness)

Even if it makes us at MNHQ look like twits

This is one of the reasons I love MN!!

And have pmed you mintyy

Mary, dh is just getting over it, he has been unbearable. I am shit with colds because of my ribs, but he was much iller than me and my dislodging ribcage...

Biwi, at zero for me too.

No, I am in a permanent state of flouncing. I might flounce at the drop of hat . Sorry you are poorly chuck.

Thanks, Trampy. I suspect I'll have it for a bit longer, I really feel bloody . All the kids have survived it, but I'm expecting dh to succomb very soon, and I'm sure he'll get it much worse than anyone .

Mintyy, shouldn't you be UnflouncingMintyy?

I have that thing hidden, because I don't want to know what's being discussed on Facebook.

Facebook thingy top right of thread. So far, no-one seems to have clicked it, which is amazing.

And has that little thing gone which tells you how many times a thread has been liked on Facebook? I can't see it anywhere but can't imagine this isn't being discussed over there somewhere.

Who are you Trampy? Can you drop me a pm?

Mary I've had it too, lasted a bloody fortnight! Hope you feel better soon, lovey.

Has Godwins law been used yet?

I'm sick as a dog Trampy.

Really dying, like or I might have a bit of a cold

I spent most of the last few days asleep .

And I'm trying not to spend too many hours here, new year resolution and all that . But I'm missing a lot.

Can MNHQ reinstate threads? I would love to see King Tut back too.

I really enjoyed Greensleeves' thread, it was hilarious. DD is currently chortling her way through it instead of doing something useful 'cos I'm a shit mum.

I tend to feel that it's "Buyer beware" on the internet, even here, and always have a pciture in my mind's eye of Dave the Hairy Handed Trucker (who yesterday burnt cakes beneath a birdless sky).

By the way, aren't penguins birds?

Slight diversion: how are you mary, I've not seen you for eons!

<sticks tongue out from behind teacher's skirt>

[superior]

actually slightly envious to have missed it all, but sitting on my high horse anyway

<Flicks ink pellet at maryz>

Bloody hell, this thread has deteriorated somewhat.

I presume by all the deletions that there is a competitive game of "I'm reporting you: no I'm reporting you first" going on.

Here Miss <sticks up hand> I'm telling on everyone. The are all being meeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaan to each other.

<channels 3 year old>

All this over the cake and lack of birds thread?!

I thought it was funny and wasn't offensive. Wish I had that sort of imagination

Crikey. I have been away from MN for a bit and come back to see this.
I always miss the bunfights
For those who seem to be having problems with any changes
this might help

That's how it read to me. And probably to OP too. Disingenuous on here, as you know, has a rather iffy context.
However, thanks for the clarification .

I thought it was a splendidly generous apology. I wish I had the nerve to say sorry more. It sometimes feels a v scary thing to do, a bit like draping yourself with meat in a lion enclosure.

Get yer ed in that oven, Helen
