... to have Mumsnet on the brain?

[MotherMucca]

Hi, longtime lurker here. I was a F/T working mother but recently became carer for family member, as well as F/T SAHM.

I have since discovered MN, and have been addicted to reading the forums here. (Particularly AIBU.)

I was hanging the washing out earlier and found myself 'chanting' in my head: "yaa-boo, yan-boo, ahhh-boo nan-boo" repeatedly in my head. (No idea where the last came from.)

How do you all read/"hear" abbreviations in your heads?

I often want to tell people to have a bloody biscuit. I feel it might be misconstrued.

I often text DH to friends, then realise they may not be as sad as me have encountered MN yet.

Also start many, many of my conversations with my long-suffering DH with "there's a thread on MN where..." :o

do you dream about me, shirley?

You know I do nickelbabyHAVINGABABY OH MYGOD.

I dreamt that I was having an argument with someone in MN format. Each statement was headed with our names in a blue line. So as I was shouting out loud I saw it in text. Wierd.

shirley!

and of course, i wouldn't have even bothered testing if it weren't for MN telling me that my period was late (i can never remember when it's due, so i was just "oh yeah, feela bit queasy, period must be due soon....")

woooooOOOoooooOOOOO!

Are you feeling rough as?

no!
i'm fine!
bit lightheaded - couldn't read today without my glasses, but they're weird - have a rim beneath my eyes, so can't read anything below my normal line of vision and the pressure of the rubber pads on my nose hurts.

ok. You're supposed to be telling me about craving tuna and banana sandwiches or wanting to sick up your morning cup of tea - not about your glasses being a bit uncomfortable you loon.

i'm a vegetarian
and my glasses are too tight.

i don't feel queasy today - although feel a bit odd

and i'm only 3 weeks-ish, so give me a chance!!

Is tuna not allowed then?

aw, congratulations though lovey - it's great news!

thanks!
(i did tell my mum before i told MN, though! )

I'm addicted to the Style & Beauty Forum but MN keep making me buy things on there.
