(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?

have you moved your profile over yet, Shiney? I can't find it.

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 21:02

oh i did but its fucking me off now- all because i have a small change in my name so i cant be arsed.

SarahStratton · 22/05/2011 21:03

Gah! I want a cute puppy to smug over. LittleDog is a little shit and not at all cute.

bibbitybobbityhat · 22/05/2011 21:04

Ooo ooo oooh, why have you namechanged with your big O madam?

shineoncrazydiam0nd · 22/05/2011 21:05

Fed up with being stalked on here, is the long and short of it.

So thought i'd make it more difficult for the culprits Grin

bibbitybobbityhat · 22/05/2011 21:09

Please pm me immediately with the names of the culprits. They will be noted in my dusty old ledger.

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 21:09

I wish I was interesting enough to be stalked!

thefirstMrsDeVere · 22/05/2011 21:14

Shock SHE is the one that told me I was keeping my DS sick so I could claim DLA!

GetOrfMoiCase · 22/05/2011 21:15

oooh i love that thread, thanks Trils.

I am no longer smug about my arse. It is 2 inches further south now, would probably fail the pencil test (I am too scared to try).

I had severe smug envy about the woman and the spices, and I am a complete spice twat now. I source my own spices and rosast them, and have a dedicated spice grinder to make really smooth goan pastes. I also make my own naan bread and bhajjis. I am a complete knob and can bore you for hours on the subject if you wish.

I wish some of you lot came to the meetup last night - I met Reality for the first time, she is bloody lovely.

Where is lizzylou? Has she left? I loved her, she was one of my favourite MNers.

EggyAllenPoe · 22/05/2011 21:19

i hope you are well LOTM stalked or unstalked (de-stalked?)

makes mental note to wish Trills happy birthday next sunday<

I didn't post on that thread because i had a sneaking suspicion it might hang around to haunt me and no be forgotten about.

I am smug about my wise non-posting decision

PiaThreeTimes · 22/05/2011 21:20

I'm feeling smug right now because I've just seen a friend win a BAFTA (I'm at home watching it on the telly, not in the audience!) Very pleased for him!

TartyMcFarty · 22/05/2011 21:21

Thanks for bursting my bubble YA, I know FB told em but I'm pleased they wished me happy birthday anyway because I can never be arsed

bellavita · 22/05/2011 21:21

LizzyLou is still here - she is camping this weekend! She got herself a full time job outside of the home instead of working for herself at home, so doesn't post as much during the day.

PMSL at Dog Wars. Grin Shiny I got myself into all sorts of bother when I put a 0 in my name and then tried to upload some photos. It was very traumatic all round.

Reality was hilarious on that thread. I particularly liked 'Fuck off - You are harshing my mellow, man.'

And the spice jar woman. I love the way she said 'I'm waiting for someone to comment on my spice jars'. Ace.Grin

And 'I'm going to rename my house The Smuggery'. Genius.

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 21:27

Eggy! Yes still rather vomit-y. Such is reproducing.

Have almost finished your quilt only the sewing machine bastarding broke last week and am awaiting a part. Have done most by hand, and made my mother do some too (to ensure I do not vomit on the said quilt).

I do hope you are well, apologies for not being there last night-I just couldn't do the journey :( and it seems I missed dancing on chairs according to the photos on FB!

FellatioNelson · 22/05/2011 21:36

Photos! Are they on? I'm going....

FellatioNelson · 22/05/2011 21:40

None of me (so far.) What an odd feeling of disappointment mixed with utter relief. Grin

EggyAllenPoe · 22/05/2011 21:42

Pregnancy sickness sucks - hope there will be another meet-up! was going to tell you that you look like 'a flower of the Valley' (affecting rather crap Welsh accent)- you can be very smug about having v. beautiful children.

i wen home before dancing on chairs commenced, sodding last trains.

I am a smuggard about making the last train though.

CointreauVersial · 22/05/2011 21:47

There were photos? Shock

LRDTheFeministDragon · 22/05/2011 21:49

I think I'm in love with the spice jar woman, I want to be her. I do own two pestles and mortars and have my spices lined up lovingly in matching clouded-glass jars (erm, from face cream I've finished).

I'm smug that I have been sober for three and a half months, and I am smug that MN helped me do it. There. Don't often get the chance to say that.

LadyOfTheManor · 22/05/2011 22:12

Photos there are. AND tales of a certain MNetter chatting up certain members of the staff at ye olde venue.

I miss ALL the good stuff.

Eggy, do not be fooled. Cameras are great trickery. That's the real reason I didn't come, I look like the grinch.

TrillianAstra · 22/05/2011 22:14

I think BoF's puppy is cuter because its hair matches her DD.

Yes we are fucking wonderful LRD, that's why we are so smug, we just can't help it! :o

LRDTheFeministDragon · 22/05/2011 22:14

Oh crap, did I kill the thread? Sad

Sorry - as you were.

LRDTheFeministDragon · 22/05/2011 22:15

I am such a twat.

Cross-post.

But yes, Trillian, you are all wonderful. Grin
