Hello, so I've been lurking for an embarrasingly long time- (started as a diversion to not smoking)
Always too scard to post- terrible speller and typer.
Anyway have rare weekend alone- still in bed- read paper- had tea and crumpets- put on washing and now can't be arsed to do any of the work I stayed home to catch up on (rest of family gone camping)
So AIBU to out myself and say hello?

Hello from another lurker and occasional poster :o.

LiviaAugusta · 08/10/2011 09:25

YANBU- I'm a lurker too!

MrHeadlessMan · 08/10/2011 09:25

YANBU. Welcome and jump in! And don't worry about the spelling and the typing, just ignore daft posts commenting on it!

YABU though to talk about crumpets and give me a craving.

scuzy · 08/10/2011 09:25

gaveitago you are a perfect AIBU candidate... terrible speller, fan of tea and crumpets, obvious allergic reaction to house work, still in bed....

((hugs))

welcome!!

gaveitago · 08/10/2011 09:27

Hello jaffa, this is quite exciting-don't care if I'm sad -no one is around to watch- feels strangely liberating.

I'm a lurker and so is my wife husband

ScarahStratton · 08/10/2011 09:28

Hello lurkers, welcome. Grin

gaveitago · 08/10/2011 09:28

Ooohhh, It's liberating lurker time.

Actually my husband isn't a lurker, just in case that made him sound a bit suspect :)

Mrsfluff · 08/10/2011 09:28

Morning [grin Another lurker here I'm not still in bed, but I am in my dressing gown if that counts? No crumpets either, so I'm now feeling a tad jealous!

ScarahStratton · 08/10/2011 09:29

I have eaten 2 croissants and 10 3 digestive biscuits for breakfast. Grin

gaveitago · 08/10/2011 09:30

Don't be jealous, I have massive "too much to do" guilt- inactivity and denial are the only remedy.

BarkisIsWillin · 08/10/2011 09:30

Do you really mean that ScarahStratton or are we just fresh meat to be devoured??

TadlowDogIncident · 08/10/2011 09:31

YANBU. I mostly lurk too, though I go through phases of posting. Welcome!

ScarahStratton · 08/10/2011 09:33

Lol I mean it. Grin

Just accept that if the majority say YABU then you probably are, and you will be fine. Although I do love a good flounce/bunfight, so if you fancy entertaining me, do the opposite.

gaveitago · 08/10/2011 09:34

Don't worry Bark, slip in a "fuckity fuck" every now and then and we'll be fine.

themightyskim · 08/10/2011 09:36

EvilElizabethPonsonby · 08/10/2011 09:36

Ooh hello Grin

gaveitago · 08/10/2011 09:37

Can't think of anything contensios to say- oh yes I can- I had a chicken and chilli sandwich from Greggs and loved it.

OP posts:
PeterSpanswick · 08/10/2011 09:37

I am also a lurker. I lurk, you know.

Hello friends!

There is a lonely ice-cream bar in the freezer I managed not to eat last night and it is calling to me. Not sure if ds will let me get away with eating ice-cream for breakfast when he had to have Cheerios though - might be taking things Too Far.

bubbles4 · 08/10/2011 09:37

Welcome to all the lurkers
Its saturday Scarah,the bunfight will be tonight or it will be if previous saturday nights are anything to go by,.

gaveitago · 08/10/2011 09:38

As you can see I don't get out much.

OP posts:
EvilElizabethPonsonby · 08/10/2011 09:38

I too shall be crumpeting when DP returns from his battle with the flu jab needle :)

gaveitago · 08/10/2011 09:41

Two more crumpets in toaster- marmite, I think-what's your preferred topping?

TalcAndTurnips · 08/10/2011 09:44

I remember that moment of pressing Post Message for the first time; I was convinced I would be either

  • ignored completely
  • told I was in the wrong section
  • mauled savagely by harridans and left out for the vultures to pick over my carcass

Luckily you appear to survived have intact for nearly twenty minutes gaveitago - especially as you have chosen to emerge within AIBU.

There are some who elect to slip quietly in through the side door in _Chat, or climb over the low fence by the garages in Pushchairs - but you have made the bold move to parachute directly into the gladitorial arena.

I doff my cap to you.
