Have you aged ten years overnight on a supermarket website?
Are you sticking to the 'two sheets' rule?
Have you had it with singing celebrities?
Are you yearning for what we will now call The Before Times?

If you've answered yes to any of the above, here's where you come to post threads about Naice Things - like ham and cats. Where The Virus That Must Not Be Named (TVTMNBM) is off-limits.

We'll do our best to keep the corona-free zone moderated - you do your best to chill out and gather strength. Flowers Brew

Keep using the normal boards for normal stuff, but here's where to come if you need a break. We're hoping everyone will see the value of having somewhere to get away from it all.

Thanks,
MNHQ

WineThanks, LeeLu

@YoTheGinPussyOfStMawesOnThigh and @ErrolTheDragon You are both too kind!!

Imagine you voting for my pics of Triangle when you don't know him or me from Adam!! Thanks

It's just amazing! I hope MN do make a competition that I could try to fairly and squarely win!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 28/03/2020 22:17

Oops it was @NorbertErraticsThigh not ErrolTheDragon! In fact who is she??

I don't know any of them!!

ErrolTheDragon · 28/03/2020 22:23

Well, never mind that mystifying confusion, wish LeeLu a happy birthday now you're here.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 28/03/2020 22:29

Oh yes of course!

Happy Birthday LeeLu! CakeGinGlitterballWine

Are you enjoying your party? I hope you don't mind me crashing?

MutteringDarkly · 28/03/2020 22:30

Welcome to the no corona zona
LEELULUMPKIN · 28/03/2020 22:47

Everyone is welcome and Thank you for the cake!!

theoriginalmadambee · 28/03/2020 22:56

Nah thights cheat Wink, anyway the alpacas are the winners, surely.

Happy birthday @LEELULUMPKIN now you are one of the grown ups 🎉🍸

ErrolTheDragon · 28/03/2020 22:57

I bet this is the first time there's been a party on an official MN pinned thread.

Gosh, that cake looks good.

LEELULUMPKIN · 28/03/2020 22:59

Now the bailey's is kicking in (I am virtually teetotal) I need a birthday playlist! Send your suggestions....

In the spirit of a hobbit (they give gifts on their birthday) , the best song will win a prize!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 28/03/2020 23:06

Here's my entry:

Classic party banger!

LEELULUMPKIN · 28/03/2020 23:10

Oh Thank you!!! Laughing my head off at that. My bf and I used to dance round her living room to that and Ma Baker. She lives in Canada now but sent me a card.

Great choice. DH has just linked the speakers up!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 28/03/2020 23:11

Oh and don't forget this one!

ErrolTheDragon · 28/03/2020 23:13

I'm rubbish with music. The only birthday 'playlist' I ever did was for a birthday party of DDs for which I just used ABBA's greatest hits. (It was about the time Mamma Mia came out and we'd been singing along to it. )

RabbitsGoneRogue · 28/03/2020 23:14

Oh my god. Thank you. Thank you so much!

Can’t work out how to hide the corona topic and mumsnet is my escapism! Sometimes I need a mental break from the madness!

LEELULUMPKIN · 28/03/2020 23:16

Errol Thank you for your suggestion. Currently playing mama mia. I have told dh if ever they reform I am selling the house to buy tickets!

ThighThighofthigh · 28/03/2020 23:20

I'VE WON!!!!!!

Oh thank you everyone, thanks for the email Becky! That's so cool!

Happy birthday

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 28/03/2020 23:24

Wow Thigh, that's amazing!!

You didn't even enter! You have excellent skillz!

LEELULUMPKIN · 28/03/2020 23:25

Congrats! What have you won?

HairyDogsOfThigh · 28/03/2020 23:26

Have you won a birthday, Thigh?

MutteringDarkly · 28/03/2020 23:32

So glad it wasn't just me baffled by what you've won. The postcode lottery? A lifetime supply of pickled onion monster munch?

ErrolTheDragon · 28/03/2020 23:39

My guess it's a Genomblöt

Whatever it is, you should give it to LEELULUMPKIN for her birthday.
And we need some more songs for the playlist or else she'll be on ABBA all night.

LEELULUMPKIN · 28/03/2020 23:43

Awww That is kind Errol! But Thigh deserves her prize and I wasn't joking about a song winner.

I have a different prize up for grabs!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 28/03/2020 23:45

Ok music, I have single handedly got this:
