For me, it’s having my TV mounted to our chimney breast. I know that it’s a faux pas on here 😏

My house would be MN Hell!
It has no driveway - on street parking only.
The front door opens straight into the living room which also have the stairs at the back.
We have 1 bathroom and it's downstairs.
Said bathroom is very small and not adequately heated so you might find shared towels drying in the living room!
We have wooden letters spelling Love on the wall.
The garden faces North East.
We have a cat who goes outside and probably poops in other people's gardens!

I love horse racing & boxing, let fireworks off in my garden on bonfire night, couldn't care less if people smoke in doorways or pub gardens, have a toilet brush and enjoy going out and getting drunk sometimes. I don't answer the door though.

Nooooooo, not a toilet brush. 🤑
That's right up there with the carpet mat sets you used to get round the toilet, the seat and outside bath. 😂

Wait what!? We’re not meant to have those!? But what will dh and ds pee on?

Wet loo roll then a cloth that gets soaked in bleach. Won't have a toilet brush, the sight of them makes me heave.

What about under the water line?

Mackemlass79 · 24/10/2024 08:29

WhitneyBaby · 24/10/2024 08:33

I have 3 DC!

Dontcallmescarface · 24/10/2024 10:01

I shall be cast out of MN for this but I couldn't give a fat rat's crack that DD's SM (who was the OW 25 years ago), will be on the front row at DD's wedding, nor do I care that the SM will be on the "parent's table" at the reception.

RustyandDusty · 24/10/2024 10:12

I dont care that my child isn't top of the class and don't force them to do extra homework etc.
I have one child as I can't be arsed to have more

That's actually really lovely, shows great forgiveness and probably gives your daughter one less worry.

RustyandDusty · 24/10/2024 10:31

I dated as a single parent and re married when my child was 6. I didn't spend the rest of my life single when I was a single mum.

RampantIvy · 24/10/2024 10:38

I don't let CFs walk all over me.
I'm not embarrassed to say I can't afford something.

I have an Alexa in most rooms

I wear skinny jeans

I wear high heels

I put mascara on my lower lashes

What's wrong with mascara on lower lashes?

Noseylittlemoo · 24/10/2024 10:49

I have a dishwasher but can't remember the last time I used it. I'd rather have a cupboard there.
I prefer to wash and dry up and I put the cloths in the washing machine with everything else.

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 24/10/2024 11:06

I'm friends with my work colleagues, they are some of the nicest people I know and I actually enjoy my days in the office (just not the commute).

I work from home but go out during the day to the shops and stop off for a walk on the way back or just go for a long walk or to the gym. This helps me clear my head so I can go back and work effectively in the afternoon. I'm not slacking and get my work done, no one has any complaints.

According to MN, mascara on the lower lashes can look too harsh, and it can smudge. However, my Clinique mascara never smudges and I don't THINK it looks too harsh 😅

kiraric · 24/10/2024 12:05

I use wraparound care and I don't angst about it at all, not are my children exhausted from school (I wish!)

Thatsmoneyhoney · 24/10/2024 13:39

I let my kids eat chocolate and play on their tablets.

So do you always throw away the cloth? Because the idea of using something on a toilet and then something else…. 🤢

Why the interest? Do you throw your toilet brush away after every use? Because it's just the same thing.

No it does not get used for anything else, ever. It gets soaked in bleach after every use and it lives behind the loo. It is kept separate from all other household cleaning items. Any other questions?

I presume you think I use the same cloth for cleaning my kitchen tops or something...? But then you could equally be using your loo brush for cleaning the oven for all I know...😬

No, I meant is it for the loo and only the loo. And where do you keep it? And then why is it any better than a toilet brush? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes it is only for the loo. And it lives behind the loo. And I have already explained that I am germ phobic and looking at a toilet brush makes me heave but looking at my very clean little white cloth doesn't. 😁

If that makes me a weirdo, fine.

Arraminta · 24/10/2024 15:37

I thoroughly enjoy a bit of conspicuous consumption and feel zero guilt about it.

I don't believe that 'being kind' is always the appropriate response to anything.

unlikelywitch · 24/10/2024 16:07

I love weddings.

I live in an ex council house.

I have a no shoes policy in said ex council house.

I enjoy having guests and visitors.

I don’t consider polite small talk from strangers to be an imposition.

I’m close to my extended family.

I like things that are a bit ‘woo’.

I wash towels after one use.

I love perfume and nice smells and don’t have to be blue lighted to hospital when I walk past a plug in air freshener.

I don’t give a single fuck about London.

I iron.

I drink Prosecco.

Why not get a silicon loo brush instead. They are easier to clean than a cloth, and a complete game changer.
