(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 was smug when my midwife commented how nice it was to see someone who was organised, all because I had booked my antenatal classes in January - I'm not due till July. At the time I had thought that made me sad.

Hey badger, I'm due July too (are we on the same antenatal thread?). you can be smug about booking your classes in january and I don't think its sad at all - left ours far too late and we ended up in a cancelled place with other women who were much more advanced than me - think I am possibly the only one left to pop!

Coocoocachoo, I've not seen you around in the thread I'm on, but it's so busy I miss half of what goes on on it www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/1166544-July-2011-were-entering-the-second-half/AllOnOnePage#25500783

I also feel smug that I am a fairly decent cook, which I learnt the hard way as my mum is not so good Smile

Shall I be smug that I am working from home and have managed to bake a cake (to take into the office tomorrow) as well as doing work.

I ate a pork pie while doing the shopping in Sainsbos and instead of the usual horrified glares people smiled at me and my bump. Hoorah!

Casey76 · 23/05/2011 17:51

I wouldn't be smug about eating a pork pie if I was you....they put all the shit in just like in hotdogs....

I am smug that I have managed to snaffle the crust off the tiger bread and layeredd it thick with butter before anyone else got to it! Yum!

LadyOfTheManor · 23/05/2011 17:56

i am smug. I am pregnant and craving them, I don't particularly care what goes into them.

I quite fancy some tiger bread.

DontHassleTheBOF · 23/05/2011 19:25

I am not smug any more Sad. I killed my iPad by dropping it. RIP my sweet friend, you will be missed. Survived by one iPhone 3Gsi Sad

LadyOfTheManor · 23/05/2011 21:16

Oh no! :( that makes me secretly happy as I don't have one but want one.

TrillianAstra · 24/05/2011 08:14

I am NOT smug that Trills has pulled me out of self-imposed posting ban by reviving a thread that pulled at my heart strings.

You fucking lovely bitches. You all know who you are. I love you and I wonder if it can ever be like that again

The nice thing about the PM button is that I can click on 'contact poster' on a post from years ago, and it sends to you now even if you have changed your name.

I a smug that I am oblivious to all smuggery past and present and don't feel left out at all

CocktailQueen · 26/05/2011 08:51

Well, I wasn't here 2 years ago but love the thread!!! 2 years ago I was smug about dd being a good eater and ds being a good sleeper, probably. Am still happy that they are good eater/sleeper but am feeling a bit Hmm about my parenting skills generally, and both kids are challenging in their own ways so, not smug at all here!!!
