[knockkneedandknackered]

can't seem to get of the computer i think im hooked on mums net.i cant get anything done haven't vaccumed changed beds etc. i need a cup of tea if i can get of this bloody thing.

mumsnet is more addictive than heroin. discuss.

when my partner come's home from work ive got nothing done i think he looks at me to say what an earth you been doing all day.

Research. I have (to use a fantastic phrase from another MNer) recently been project-managing Christmas via Mumsnet for example.

The addition will soon turn sour when the pedants come on and read your posts

yes beware of the thread killers

They boite!

I agree OP, i have been using it to avoid some jobs that i should be sorting RIGHT NOW. I never knew that people had the potential to be upset and offended by pretty much anything until i discovered AIBU...its just fab

Me too, especially since phones are so fancy and internetty! but I still don't get some "in" stuff (though I do try to fit in!)

What is a thread killer and a nobdie??

Thread Killer - the last person to post on a thread who effectively 'kills it'. A thread can be chundering along and then a poster will join in and everything goes silent

Nobdie - I think that's a Mumsnetter who is a nobody as they aren't regular enough and spend all their posting on Nobdie threads. Don't get it? Me neither!

You have to get in the habit of having something houseworky halfway through when DP walks in the door so it looks like you've been slaving away. Then ask them to put the kettle on/feed the cat/change the baby cos you're busy but will be finished in a minute and thats the last housework you are doing for now.

I am considering asking them to ban me because I can't get anything done around the house and even dh is noticing my laziness

My dp celebrates when mumsnet is down for --the doughnut run-- 'maintainance'

iPods are deadly, you can MN all over the house and hide the evidence in your pocket.
Should be tidying for visitors

Same problem with my blackberry, hooked onto wifi, up until all hours and on it as soon as I wake up, while I cook/hoover/bath children yadayadayada... Tis dangerous addiction.

I am the queen of thread killers. Just watch and see

So am I crazynanna, so ill give you a break

Its like crack. Mumscrack. I only came on the computer to look up somewhere on Googlemaps. But Mumsnet was still open so got distracted. That was over 3 hours ago!
