(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?

Ok, ignore my previous post, just joking.

I'm smug about baking nice cakes.

Is that modest enough?

I am pretty certain on the first thread I said I was good at baking. I still am!

SarahStratton · 22/05/2011 20:37

I'm smug that the DDs are happy and healthy.

That I have a good friendship with XH, despite knowing that he is an utter arse, and that I have a bloody tongue from biting it so hard so often and I have never slagged him off in front of the DDs.
That I have become very good with money.
That I own my own house.
That I have never smoked.

SarahStratton · 22/05/2011 20:41

I still want to know what high culture is. It sounds like stinky cheese.

bibbitybobbityhat · 22/05/2011 20:42

Sad about the missing mumsnetters.

[sentimental old fool that I am]

MillyR · 22/05/2011 20:43

Okay, I have had a look back at my post.

I am no longer smug about my job; I haven't got it any more.
I am still really smug about my dogs.

DontHassleTheBOF · 22/05/2011 20:45

Nobody is smugger about dogs than me. I have the cutest puppy in the world. FACT.

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 20:45

Yes, that thread was a good laugh bibbity wasn't it?

bibbitybobbityhat · 22/05/2011 20:46

It was. And I wasn't even bibbity then!

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 20:47

Valhalla is probably the smuggest about dogs and their rights. FACT.

SarahStratton · 22/05/2011 20:48

I think that is a fact BOF, not smuggery

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 20:48

I know- you were slightly more menthol.

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 20:49

sarah - i have bof's puppy's sister! And she is cuter....

bibbitybobbityhat · 22/05/2011 20:49

Nowt wrong with your spreadsheet Shiney m'love.

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 20:49

My puppy TicTac is cuter than Pickle. FACT.

DontHassleTheBOF · 22/05/2011 20:50

Incontrovertible proof.

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 20:50

Tis still reasonably up to date!

MillyR · 22/05/2011 20:50

BOF, are you being smug about your level of smuggery?

I have seen a cuter dog than mine. It was in the post office the other day - a springer poodle cross.

But I have two dogs, so am still smugger.

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 20:51

Ummm, yes, she is cute.

But mine is cuter.

Hold on...

MillyR · 22/05/2011 20:52

Oh, actually yours is in a bag. You win.

I might get a third dog so I have one the right size to carry in a bag - a cairn terrier perhaps.

NerfHerder · 22/05/2011 20:55

Shock That is a cute doggy BOF!

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 20:57

My Puppy is on my profile now....
