To have become addicted to mumsnet

[Bearcat]

My husband says he's gonna divorce me and cite mumsnet as the reason ( I think he's joking)
He bought me an ipad for Christmas, which means I can sit on a comfy chair in front of the telly rather than have to sit in the chilly hall next to the computer surfing away on mumsnet!

Yup, it's a tad addictive!

It's all his fault then, so he would have to name himself as the cause of the break up

DP gets really cross if i sit up too late on here.
I have to make a concerted effort to have whole nights off.

Good point Secret...OP, take him for every penny you can!

I think i need an i-pad...

I know, me too!
I am sitting watching csi new York whilst surfing mumsnet! It is sooooooo addictive, especially here on aibu!

Thanks to mumsnet this gets taken off the fridge and waggled at me almost nightly.

sarahitaly, that is brilliant!

Tried to do a weekend without MN.........

Hello my name is KittaKatta and I am an addict.
It has been 5 seconds since I last checked AIBU

Less brilliant that 3 friends independently sent it to me going "ha ha ha , it's YOU !!!"

I am doing my own head in, not to mention DHs.

I only discovered it because someone posted at link on a completely unrelated forum, an ebay spin off.

That was a few weeks ago and I haven't been back on said forum since! I just haven't the time now I'm here. So many threads so little time!

My excuse for getting addicted was that DH was working away. Mind you, that was in the first half of 2009, so my excuse is wearing a bit thin unless this is actually proper addition.

Or my only life...

It's got you an I-pad...that's a result

I've instructed DH never to go to bed and leave me on MN. He regularly does and I creep into bed at 2 am and insist it was just after midnight.

"I creep into bed at 2 am and insist it was just after midnight."

Oh I have a trick for that ...make sure you alter the time on your mobile BEFORE you go up and indignantly shove it at him showing 00.10 (instead of the slightly more accurate 2.30) when he mutters "iz bollix iz da midnight".

And blame his snoring for all the yawning in the morning.

me too! We must know each other

LOL

Only he'd check the internet history, and by then I'm too knackered to clean it up.

Sarah, I do exactly the same thing!!

Stagger upstairs at about 1.30 and tell him next day that I stayed up to watch the midnight news.

DH is always telling me off for getting involved with MN and forgetting to eat/sleep.

He laughed at that sarahitaly and is also threatening to print it off

Can someone tell me how I got here? I can't remember.

What year is this?

tethersend, dear, it's just a dream. You will wake up and be 20 again.

1950 apparently.

I too followed a link from another forum (albeit a parenting one).

You's lot are the stuff ov legend
