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

I let the clothes on the line get darked on

PandoraSox · 22/10/2024 22:07

I eat carbs.

GoldenSunflowers · 22/10/2024 22:08

I don’t send my kids to private school out of our slightly above average salaries. Consequently, I don’t care about the proposed VAT on school fees.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 22/10/2024 22:11

I have committed and will continue to commit about 98% of these sins, but there's one that no-one seems to have owned up to ...

an island unit in my kitchen!

Ok stop now you can't be serious

I like my parents
My MIL always told me I was doing a great job - and I believed her.

GreatNorthBun · 22/10/2024 22:21

I am not on a diet. I like sex. I like a drink. I ask men to do things with power tools because I can't be bothered. I can't drive and I don't want to learn.

I've got loads of mates and I like it when they call round without an appointment. I eat McDonalds in train stations. I didn't do well at school! I put almost everything in the tumble dryer. I've got a jacuzzi! Oh my god my crimes! My crimes! 😂

I tell other people's kids off if they are being mares in my presence. 😱

Peanutbutterisallyouneed · 22/10/2024 22:22

I take my 2 dogs to dog friendly pubs, cafes and shops 🐶

XenoBitch · 22/10/2024 22:28

Oh, more!
I enjoy a Wetherspoons dinner and drinks.
I have a dog, and take her into dog friendly places.
I am on MN and don't have kids, or the interest in having them.
I am on benefits, have a smart phone and a flat screen TV.
I change my bedding once each month.
I do not shower daily.
I like men, and don't think they are all out to get me.

Minimili · 22/10/2024 22:30

I vape and I enjoy it, I don’t care if I “look like a baby sucking on a dummy”.

Me and DP are both neurodivergent and night owls so have always worked nights and evening jobs, it’s common for us to stay up late and sleep till 1/2pm and are both 40.

I have been with DP 10 years and we don’t want to get married.

I have several tattoos and piercings.

I’d rather eat a McDonald’s than a mahoosive salad.

I know the actual meaning of gas lighting, literally in the right context, the difference between bought and brought and I don’t assume everyone is either neurodivergent or a narcissist to fit my agenda. I think it’s ridiculous when people comment on “being triggered” when they mean slightly annoyed or upset or are “shaking and crying” because someone pushed past them and didn’t apologise.

I hate the phrase “give your head a wobble”

I don’t tell people to “log it with the police” when someone has put a piece of rubbish in their bin or advise them to ring 111 when they stub their toe.

Berlinlover · 22/10/2024 22:31

I’m in a relationship with a large age gap.

Gonegirl7 · 22/10/2024 22:32

My husband is often a complete dickhead and haven’t LTB

Supermand · 22/10/2024 22:33

I have a second home.
i have toilet brushes in both homes.
I not only allow tradesmen to use the loo, I have offered my postman an open invitation to stop off for a wee.

(Mine all seem to be lavatory based.)

OTOH I can get 12 meals out of a chicken, as long as you’re not feeling that hungry. And I love a massive salad.

9ToGoal · 22/10/2024 22:36

@GreatNorthBun Thought I was alone in my cardinal sin of liking sex!

Guilty of so many already mentioned (poor, fat, bleach, toilet brush, rent, tumble dryer etc) plus...

Cats sleep on my bed.
I have an age gap relationship, he is significantly younger.

PrimitivePerson · 22/10/2024 22:36

I state educated my kids at (gasp!) a comprehensive school.

I went to a school that loads of MNers would kill to get their kids into, but hated every second of it, so didn't want to put my kids through what I went through.

My son recently graduated from uni with a first and now earns more than me.

RampantIvy · 22/10/2024 22:36

I quite enjoy ironing Grin
I communicate with my family. As a result I don't fester with resentment over stuff.
I refuse to be guilt tripped into anything. As a result, no-one tries to guilt trip me into something I don't want to do.
I like my workmates. I am even friends with some of them.

HÆLTHEPAIN · 22/10/2024 22:38

Seasonal bedding and decorations
Neutral (calming IMO opinion) colour scheme throughout
Media wall
I’m fat and not ashamed
I LOVE my MIL AND my DIL
Don’t give a feck about UPFs
I eat (including carbs)
I’m reliant on my DH in terms of money

Justleaveitblankthen · 22/10/2024 22:47

I lie on my bed in clothes that i have stepped outdoors in. I throw my handbag on it with wild abandon.
