...to be spending too much time on Mumsnet when the missus thinks I am doing job applications?

[MNHubbie]

To be fair to me it is her fault. She told me to log back into Mumsnet after being away for a while to post my question about whether a health questionnaire was legal or not. Now I'm here I can't leave!

The eldest two are happy on the Wii and she is out with the youngest at his 30th (almost literally) birthday party of this school year alone (all the social skills in our family were distilled into his tiny little body and the frustrating little so and so can charm anyone with a simple smile).

I am supposed to be working my way through a massive pile of job applications. I haven't even had lunch yet (the kids have).

I'm a mess. It is all the fault of Mumsnet.

I haven't checked my email, my googlereader feed, gone to the loo, eaten, moved or scratched my very itchy back for about 2 hours now and I don't know what to do.

I'm thinking about replying to every single AIBU thread even though I've long since replied to the few I have anything meaningful to contribute to.

Every argument the kids have about the Wii has me reply with "I don't care".

Am I being unreasonable to be spending so much time on this stupidly addictive site again?

I'm remembering why I stopped coming on here before.

this is like me today but I have done bare minimum housework as I did do my normal work shift. yesterday and stayed to help dh til 2 in the morning and told dh I would be having a lazy day this morning as I got no sleep and feel rubbish.

The dc's have nicked the kitchen chairs to play on the pc.

I am therefore sat on the ironing pile I am meant to be doing mnetting at the kitchen table.

Dh keeps strolling past like this

I have informed him I am poised ready for action for when the shopping is delivered.

YABU to refer to her as "the missus".

Is that you DH? You told me you'd applied for 7 jobs today.

Sposh... if I didn't know that trick already I'd have been in verrrrrrrrrrry serious trouble long before now.

OK 3 applications done. Admittedly two were just CVs with no covering letters wanted but they are done.

Sooty: She doesn't mind that and encourages it over my normal names for her (honey, sweety, sexy, fingermouse, my little chouxfleur, all I live for and adore, Goddess, Mistress etc).

Thank you Slag. Ten, it was ten.

She who must be obeyed is home. I was actually doing an application when she came in fighting through the jungle of drying washing that I had hung up earlier.

Dragon: I've done that walk past before!

Hey! you lot! You seducing my husband? Can't trust anyone nowadays

Oh you've changed profile then. Lost your love for the Gok?

Since when have you ever worried about ladies seducing me? You normally just laugh at the very idea that they would.

There's a pile of washing there. It's not going to fold itself.

She will only take it apart and fold it again if I do.

I'll only have to fold it again!

Snap

PMSL!!!

I think you're doing well to have applied for 3 jobs on a Saturday, done the washing, and started a most excellent thread on here ! Ooh, and even had lunch - I often forget that bit I am so addicted

hehe

watch the unfolding domestic !

< gets popcorn >

Ranty, he calls you " the missus" ..... Leave the bastard!!!!

Thank you Juggling. I felt the better for doing it. But now the boss is home and on MN too I'm finding it harder to get back to it, especially as the next one I'm doing is for a school in special measures and I'm not that sure I really want to do it.

Fucker it is all calm. Her MN addiction overrode any desire to tell me off. That and the washing machine and dishwasher being on (thanks DS1&2 for the assist!)

Wotcha AF, bunk up and have a [beer]

Toomuch feel free to share some of that money. I also call her boss, ma'am, she who must be obeyed, the wife, DP, and a host of very complementary names that are far too rude for even MN but mostly I call her by her name or if the kids aren't around I use sexy. The former is a no-no on MN and the latter would cause vomit buckets to appear thus missus seems a reasonable compromise she approves of partly because she knows both it and me using "hubbie" in my username will wind some folk up.

hellooo, hd

This is cosy isn't it ?

hey, ranty your hubbie said you were a shouty dragon earlier, and that your bum looks back in those jeans

< sits back >

big not back

Nice try but she is wearing a lovely purple hippy skirt which makes her arse look fabulous as always.

he said your toes look like fat little piggies
