Hello, so I've been lurking for an embarrasingly long time- (started as a diversion to not smoking)
Always too scard to post- terrible speller and typer.
Anyway have rare weekend alone- still in bed- read paper- had tea and crumpets- put on washing and now can't be arsed to do any of the work I stayed home to catch up on (rest of family gone camping)
So AIBU to out myself and say hello?

YANBU. Welcome and jump in! And don't worry about the spelling and the typing, just ignore daft posts commenting on it!

YABU though to talk about crumpets and give me a craving.

gaveitago you are a perfect AIBU candidate... terrible speller, fan of tea and crumpets, obvious allergic reaction to house work, still in bed....

((hugs))


welcome!!

Hello jaffa, this is quite exciting-don't care if I'm sad -no one is around to watch- feels strangely liberating.

Actually my husband isn't a lurker, just in case that made him sound a bit suspect :)

Morning [grin Another lurker here I'm not still in bed, but I am in my dressing gown if that counts? No crumpets either, so I'm now feeling a tad jealous!

I have eaten 2 croissants and 10 3 digestive biscuits for breakfast. Grin

Don't be jealous, I have massive "too much to do" guilt- inactivity and denial are the only remedy.

Do you really mean that ScarahStratton or are we just fresh meat to be devoured??

YANBU. I mostly lurk too, though I go through phases of posting. Welcome!

Lol I mean it. Grin

Just accept that if the majority say YABU then you probably are, and you will be fine. Although I do love a good flounce/bunfight, so if you fancy entertaining me, do the opposite.

Don't worry Bark, slip in a "fuckity fuck" every now and then and we'll be fine.

Hello friends!

There is a lonely ice-cream bar in the freezer I managed not to eat last night and it is calling to me. Not sure if ds will let me get away with eating ice-cream for breakfast when he had to have Cheerios though - might be taking things Too Far.

I remember that moment of pressing Post Message for the first time; I was convinced I would be either

  • ignored completely


  • told I was in the wrong section


  • mauled savagely by harridans and left out for the vultures to pick over my carcass


Luckily you appear to survived have intact for nearly twenty minutes gaveitago - especially as you have chosen to emerge within AIBU.

There are some who elect to slip quietly in through the side door in _Chat, or climb over the low fence by the garages in Pushchairs - but you have made the bold move to parachute directly into the gladitorial arena.

I doff my cap to you.
