I log on every day to read of your tales in your latest status updates. I understand that you feel the need to share details of how wuved up you are. Really I can handle it, I'm a big girl.

But really new levels of pretention have been achieved recently haven't they.

I understand that you love your DH, but I really can't understand why he is nommy. Are you actually eating him? Is this why he is so skinny?

Why do you feel the need to photograph your food and share it with the rest of us? Are you trying to tell me that the thing with the unpronouncable list of ingredients is 'nommy' because really it looks like something I'd find in my dc's nappy. What the hell is wrong with a cheese sandwich?

Also you really aren't the centre of the universe. We don't really know where the centre of the universe is, but when we do find it I highly doubt they will find it anywhere near you.

Also I hope you regret being so judgey about the poor woman with the numourous children who you complained about and called the 'worst Mother in the world'. I seriously doubt she is and one day you might be grateful that your child ate a couple of buttons. Children are picky eaters and sometimes if they put anything into their mouths it is a victory, even if it is a plastic button.

Also crochetting chaps is just plain weird.

As you were.

Your friend sounds like an insufferable prick and you should tell her this.

She'll find you ... and you'll be unfriended. Then how will you spend your time?

Cadpat · 10/02/2011 05:25

MadamDeathstare, I have a food blog, so the at least the pictures look nice :) Don't know about the taste though!

GotArt · 10/02/2011 05:43

I photographed and shared a picture of the perfect omelette that I made once. I was shocked and so very proud of myself. I had to show it off. I'm a terrible cook, my DH is an award winning Chef. I make some pretty damn good cookies though. Grin

Did I read that right? Crocheted chaps... can't imagine them being too comfortable and once the party got going, you'd build up a sweat fast, creating some interesting chafing marks for the ER staff to giggle about. Grin

Oh no, is she one of those Kooky Housewife types? The ones who potter around all day doing fuck all, with no aspirations, but think they're all clever and ironic and intellectual, because some of the useless crap they do is "alternative" and "kooky"?

I bet she bakes internet-themed cupcakes and gives hubby anime-themed dinner, as well as the croche chaps! Crazy!!!

JustShaggingForNow · 10/02/2011 16:06

I've got one of those friends too - when she gets too self indulgently irritating I hide her posts! Try it and you might feel a bit better!!

lazarusb · 10/02/2011 16:36

!!! My mum has been known to knit roast dinners / shreddies and golf clubs but even she wouldn't knit chaps! Grin

GotArt · 11/02/2011 00:11

Knit roast dinners!?!

dollydimples · 11/02/2011 00:31

I have a friend who posts a list of everything her 6 month old baby has consumed that day. In minute detail.

QuestionNumber · 11/02/2011 00:32

YABU. Why don't you just block her status updates? Why are you reading them if you're not interested?

Status updates are supposed to be dull or self-absorbed, aren't they? Confused Imagine what it would be like if everyone was writing competitively "useful/original" status updates Wine

lazarusb · 11/02/2011 16:07

Yes GOTART...knitted meat, knitted sprouts, knitted carrots...She sometimes has too much time on her hands at work. She may also be crackers Grin

Pancakeflipper · 11/02/2011 16:14

oh I lurve Facebook. Not going to ever join myself but I love to giggle at the fun others have... Crocheted chaps -not little men she's making but proper chaps? Why???? Are they in the latest Boden catalogue ( reminds me need to tell Johnny to leave me alone this season).

Ormirian · 11/02/2011 16:24

Oh lord! Shock

When you say 'chaps' you do mean legwear for riders, yes? Not floppy woolly men.....

TeenageWildlife · 11/02/2011 16:28

Not floppy woolly men Grin

Maylee · 11/02/2011 16:30

Oh I sympathise OP.

I'm friends with a family member and all she does is talk about how much she loves her DC, how they are amazing, what an amazing family she has.

But the one that really made me want to puke was when she said how lucky she is to have her DH because every other woman wants him. Fuck off, noone wants him love Hmm

GandalfyCarawak · 11/02/2011 16:32

I love it when people post pictures of food. And, frankly, there are far worse status updates to be had than loved up ones.

I don't think you are her friend, and I don't think you should be her friend on facebook.

TastesLikePanda · 11/02/2011 16:51

He he! I post pictures of food to show off! Particular favourites at the moment include -
The 'roast' dinner I made with KFC chicken pieces...
The fake KFC 'Double Downs' (google it if you haven't heard of them - UK KFC doesn't do them)
A cake I made that came out a rude shape - it looked like a penis tee hee!
