Anyone else constantly logging on to mumsnet any chance they get? It’s like a compulsion and in all honesty quite a toxic space so not sure why………

Cat thread done. Who is really leaving now?

Think I may try just one hour an evening to limit myself.

I wish it had been around in my youth!

Oh, yes! Mumsnet would never have put up with the crap I tolerated from various exes, friends and bosses. I might even have ended up with a properly decent husband! There simply weren't enough vipers in my life back then.

Only arrived here a year or so ago, how I wish it had been around in my youth!

Love the Woo! threads (Halloween coming soon 🦇) and I would happily take the day off work for a live parking thread! 🍿🎉

I love mumsnet, it reminds me of the problem pages that I used to read in magazines, always turned to them first!

BCBird · 28/08/2023 16:25

Me too. Helps me forget about the crap going in. Am amazed at how quickly people become nasty though

The other day I put my phone away at 7 pm and just read a book. I got the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. Following night I was caught up in about 3 threads on mn. Woke in the middle of the night and logged on. Following morning my eyes were in bits. I swear I’m the future we’ll realise screens are BREAKING us. That being said, here I am again, when I have tons to sort out for back to school …

FrillyGoatFluff · 28/08/2023 16:20

I scroll MN while I'm smoking, they are my hand-in-hand vices.

Shit.

I’ll set a limit. Not cold turkey for sure.

Cowlover89 · 28/08/2023 10:53

I'm addicted too 🙈

I think I will try to leave cold turkey again once I find out how the lady rescues her cat trapped in the neighbour's house!

Me too!

AliceOlive · 28/08/2023 09:23

@Mothew Oh good. Sooo funny.

😀 I’m addicted to that thread!

Themosswidow · 28/08/2023 09:01

You’ve inspired me to get off and get on with my day!

IClaudine · 28/08/2023 08:56

Yes, I spend too much time here. I think you are right OP about the growing number of bots and trolls.

Mothew · 28/08/2023 08:53

AliceOlive · 28/08/2023 04:48

Sorry @Mothew Momentary lapse of all reason.

Yes @AliceOlive that video was the inspiration for my latest MN name Grin

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 28/08/2023 07:55

My family think I'm obsessed with MN (and they may be right).
It is a procrastinators dream for me and I spend FAR too long browsing here.
And of course I'm also following the 'house breaking to rescue the cat' thread 😹.

CrackersCheeseAndWinePlease · 28/08/2023 06:06

I'm a self confessed MN addict. I find it quite useful and like a pp says I've learned a lot from it.
@YearoftheRabbit23 I was sooo invested in that thread, the only reason I'm on here now is to see if she rescued the cat 🤣

RantyAnty · 28/08/2023 05:26

Lol pretty much a little bit each day for over a decade.
This is my social fun.
