(original smug thread was in AIBU so this seemed like the right place for it)

For those who don't remember, [[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/762767-The-SMUG-thread-An-amnesty-if-you-will-Come-and here it , the SMUG AmnESTY IN ALL ITS GLORY}}

So, two years on are you still smug about the same things? Have your good eaters turned fussy? Are your home-ground spices still beautifully arranged in jars? Have your children still never had a filling?

Everyone says that being smug is a magnet for karma to come and bite you on the arse, but has it?

I'm smug because:

I've just realised I know the script for The Little Mermaid word for word.
I'm always being complimented on DS's manners.
I have possibly the most gorgeous DS ever.

Erm... That's all I can think of. Blush

YankNCock · 22/05/2011 19:28

Can't believe that was two years ago already!

VinegarTits · 22/05/2011 19:36

Casey76 · 22/05/2011 19:37

But...isn't being smug just another way to jinx yourself????

I wouldn't dare ....remember pride comes before a fall....arnt you all afraid that you sabotage all those things that you are smug about?????

Or am I now being unreasonable??

K999 · 22/05/2011 19:38

Whatever happened to DaftPunk...has she name changed?

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 19:43

Well, DP is around. She asked to come to the Meet Up from last night, but didn't go.

usualsuspect · 22/05/2011 19:46

I thought DP was banned

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 19:47

That Roneef on the other thread was quite a twat though eh?

K999 · 22/05/2011 19:47

Good. Will look out for her. I doubt I will miss her posting style! Grin

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 19:47

TartyMcFarty · 22/05/2011 19:51

Can I be smug too, please? I'm smug because so many people have thought about me on my birthday today, and left lovely messages, albeit on FB. It makes me feel quite popular Smile

MarianneM · 22/05/2011 20:03

I am smug about:

having an amazing DH who is very kind and caring, highly intelligent, a great father, very handsome, an amazing cook - and I've managed to hold on to him for 13 years

having two funny, adorable, beautiful girls who were very easy to conceive, and managing to breastfeed both girls with absolutely no problems

having a nice, well paid job although I have never worked hard in my life and didn't bother to finish uni

having always managed to live in nice areas of London (and Helsinki) despite not being loaded

not having to put my girls into childcare until the youngest is 2.2 years old

being into "high culture"

not owning a TV

being happy with my life (when so many people are miserable for no obvious reason)

SarahStratton · 22/05/2011 20:04

What is 'high culture'? Hmm

TrillianAstra · 22/05/2011 20:04

You do know that Facebook tells people that it is your birthday, right? They probably didn't all log on especially to say Happy Birthday.

usualsuspect · 22/05/2011 20:05

'high culture' is getting stoned I think

DontHassleTheBOF · 22/05/2011 20:06

That is pretty fucking good smuggery, Marianne Grin

MarianneM · 22/05/2011 20:07

Oh no, I thought it was smug amnesty?! I wouldn't have admitted as much otherwise.

K999 · 22/05/2011 20:07

Smug about not having a TV?? My god...my worse nightmare. How the hell would I educate and entertain my DDs?? Shock

MarianneM · 22/05/2011 20:09

Thanks BOF :)

DontHassleTheBOF · 22/05/2011 20:11

I admire your touching naïveté and reckless disregard for your own safety honesty, Marianne Grin

I am smug that I can do accents on my iPad keyboard. I have iPad-related smuggery.

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 20:11

Yes, if this was another thread, I'd probably hate you Marianne Grin.

nethunsreject · 22/05/2011 20:13

FUCK 2 yrs ago? Really?

Time flies.
