am i being unreasonable but it is right to share your husbands illness with the world wide web?

I am usually up for a bit of Menlove-mocking, but not in this case.

Why should she not? She blogs about her life and lifestyle and this is unfortunately happening in her life. They are both adults so they can decide what is best for them.

ShirleyKnot · 01/07/2011 14:23

You are being mean!

tHE END

janet38 · 01/07/2011 14:24

this is not a criticism. it can be therapeutic to write about this sort of stuff expecially if she does not have any one to talk too.

I imagine he's aware of it. If he doesn't care, why do you?

Like Hazel, i'm usually all about the Menlove Mocking. It's a gift Grin. But this one is up to them, I reserve judgements for her mad pouting and over use of white emulsion.

my god son has leukemia and it is tough so i am not criticising her posting about it. apologies to anyone of you who think I was being unkind. not the case.

Sue, I have quoted you in my profile because you made me do a big LARF the other day.

SuePurblybilt · 01/07/2011 14:31

Have you my ducky love? What did I say?

Are you sure it was me?

Pinkjenny · 01/07/2011 14:31

Why can I not find any posts about her husband? Her blog is so hard to navigate.

luckywinner · 01/07/2011 14:33

Just googled her. Is she a real life person? Surely no one in the world like that exists?

OTheHugeManatee · 01/07/2011 14:39

She may look like she'd be over the kitchen island and after you with a Sabatier for so much as hinting that her frilly apron makes her look like a suburban loo-roll cover. But leukaemia took my uncle a couple of years ago. I wouldn't wish it on any family.

Pinkjenny · 01/07/2011 14:42

I still demand to know who came first, Menlove or Hampton. Who is copying who? V. sad about her husband.

ShirleyKnot · 01/07/2011 14:45

yy Sue, you said I was like Miss Marple with swears. HAHA

Pinkjenny · 01/07/2011 14:48

Also, is she American? If not, why does she seem like she is?

ShirleyKnot · 01/07/2011 14:50

I think she's a Not American. I think she seems like she is because it's all very...shiny and "coo! look I made a reading corner in the garden" which is something you could do in the US, but not here so much as you'd have to be dragging matresses in from the endless bloody DRIZZLE.

SuePurblybilt · 01/07/2011 14:52

Yes, that sounds like me. It was because of your amazing bloodhounding across t'interweb, finding the titters of trolls. It's v impressive.

Pinkjenny, she is trying to be American in the hopes of stepping into MArtha's shoes and getting a book/telly deal over there. We (MN) have decided that's why, anyway.

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/07/2011 14:52

PinkJenny, who or what is Hampton? Can we mock it also? I rather hope so...

There was a fab thread a few months ago where we mused on the wonder that is Menlove, with her porny name, her demented photos and That Apron. We concluded that she is angling for a book deal (I think she now has this), TV show, multi-media domination etc - and is firmly aiming for the US market, with her use of 'you guys', 'Holiday Baking' and so on.

The thread was hilarious, If I say so myself. Sadly, it was pulled.

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/07/2011 14:52

Nooks. She likes nooks.

Pinkjenny · 01/07/2011 14:53

www.kellehampton.com

Lots to mock there, also lots to admire.

PinotsEvilTwin · 01/07/2011 14:53

WHAT are you all wanging on about?

DaisySteiner · 01/07/2011 14:54

:( about her husband and :( that the previous funny thread was pulled - I never got a chance to read it.

Pinkjenny · 01/07/2011 14:56

She's all about the Oprah-love too. I don't believe that people like this exist, I just don't.

Secretly though, I wish I was a bit like that Grin

SuePurblybilt · 01/07/2011 14:56

Nooooo, Kelle Hampton's blog strikes me as entirely different. I wouldn't mock that.

If MN had avatars, I'd either be Darius' cock or Cherry's apron gurning.

OTheHugeManatee · 01/07/2011 14:57

That other thread got pulled? Shock

Was there fear of a SWMNBN style retaliation?

Pinkjenny · 01/07/2011 14:57

Really, Sue? I think they are exactly the same

DaisySteiner · 01/07/2011 14:58

OMG, that kelle hampton site plays music at you! I bet Cherry is spitting feathers that she didn't think of that first.
