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

My Pandora charm bracelet is one of my most precious possessions. I got it for my 18th birthday and it has charms that my late grandparents bought me so every time I look at it I think of them and smile.

I really cannot tell the difference between a cheap wine and an expensive wine. They all taste the same to me and if somebody turned up to a dinner party with a £3 bottle of Spar’s finest, I’d be delighted.

I also vape. Usually only when I’m drinking or really stressed.

Sorry, I’ll deactivate my account now.

I’m happy for tradesmen to use our loo. Even if it’s for a poo.
And unless they’re muddy, nobody takes their shoes off at the door.

I think the complaint is they look like a public toilet
(I'm quite happy with mine - the bathroom, downstairs loo and utility room all have them! )

I do have to agree about metro tiles...I guess its my age

Wow!
These things are a nightmare!

Also ended up single after I became pregnant and had to claim tax credits thus had a baby I can't afford and let her have screen time to keep her quiet in restaurants. What a scum bag. I have grey accessories in my house, (although currently going through a gradual colour change) wear gym leggings, hate Boden and oversized sack dresses, own not one but two nomination bracelets in different colours even though I'm not actually a teenager.

StressedQueen · 22/10/2024 21:39

I have 5 children instead of the perfect 2, including twins, and I have 2 dogs.

My son is actually quite skinny but honestly as he's growing so quickly, it seems as if he will fit Mumsnet standards of being over 6 foot and build quite strongly!!

I am pretty relaxed about food and don't think it's the end of the world if DC aren't eating all healthy as long as they are eating.

DH earns quite a lot more than me.

Sux2buthen · 22/10/2024 21:40

I shop from Shein

terracottafarm · 22/10/2024 21:40

I WFH and wear the same comfy clothes for 2, maybe three days to avoid piling up the washing.

Wore off-white to a wedding, albeit with red accessories, long before I knew it wasn't permitted.

That's not a MN thing, it's long standing etiquette because white is the bride's privilege.

terracottafarm · 22/10/2024 21:42

Oh, I also love abroad weddings, as long as they don't cost an arm and a leg

scalt · 22/10/2024 21:42

I often wear trainers without socks. Sometimes in the house too.

Foxybyname · 22/10/2024 21:45

Showing my age now......

I used Gina Ford and (me and my DD) got on really well with it.

I'm getting cancelled aren't I ? 😳

adviceneeded1990 · 22/10/2024 21:47

I’m a stepmum who is involved, loves DSD, and treats her like my own instead of like a stray cat who has wandered in off the street to stay for 7/14 nights 😆

I have a toilet brush 😂

My TV is on the wall 🙈

Saintmariesleuth · 22/10/2024 19:30

I live in a cul de sac

I am not a high earner

Are we the same person?

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 22/10/2024 21:48

I shower and wash and blow dry my hair every day, sometimes twice.
Never had my own bank account, joint everything.
SAHM for 5 years and didn’t earn a penny.

Feist · 22/10/2024 21:50

I dropped out of a former Polytechnic
I drive a white Audi
I hate going to London
I love package holidays
I let my daughter have her ears pierced at Claire’s
I’ve got a hot tub

Idabelle · 22/10/2024 21:50

I have a toilet brush.

I support trans rights.

Not sure which is worse on MN...

SatansBobbleheadedDashboardOrnament · 22/10/2024 21:54

God, loads. Wore a black dress to a wedding, have guzzled a bottle of wine(s) without a second thought in a single sesh, ate half a chicken in one go at Nando's once.

BeatrizBoniface · 22/10/2024 21:55

I didn't put my new borns in a separate bedroom after birth. I kept them near me for more than a year.

Ketryne · 22/10/2024 21:55

I'm quite new to Mumsnet and haven't learnt all its ways yet. Someone please enlighten me...what's the alternative to a loo brush?! Yes they're a bit gross but is everyone else just tolerating skid marks? Or are mumsnetters just too posh to poo?

I'm pretty appalling at washing bedding and towels in a timely manner, and I love my MIL immensely. I do have my own income and bank account (as well as joint one) but I've actually got no idea where any of our savings are... so if DH ever decides to leave me I'm pretty screwed. Luckily I actually like him.

Premium Mumsnetters do not leave skid marks.

TentEntWenTyfOur · 22/10/2024 21:59

I have no idea what class I am.

Not only that, but............ I don't care.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/10/2024 21:59

I don’t “live rurally”

I eat more than two sausages at a sitting

I love drinking.

I like an all inclusive.

BitOutOfPractice · 22/10/2024 22:01

Oh yes and I loathe Cos.

bellsbuss · 22/10/2024 22:01

I iron my clothes
