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

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.

The only thing more evil than Mumsnet is the people on it.

ABatInBunkFive · 31/03/2012 22:41

You can't ignore Fringe and anyone who suggests you do is V V unreasonable! Wink

RantyMcRantpants · 31/03/2012 22:44

ROFL AF I agree.

RantyMcRantpants · 31/03/2012 23:12

Bat we didn't ignore Fringe Grin It is getting curiouser and curiouser though and he'd got another application done.

Hearts Blush

And he'd just bought me chocolate Grin

MNHubbie · 31/03/2012 23:44

Oh don't use bold when you name folks in threads! Haven't you been on AIBU tonight! You risk the wrath of MN!

Chocolate was yummy.

Fringe was weird.

Thailand application done.

Truro one started.

AnyFucker · 31/03/2012 23:46

Thailand vs Truro ?

Bit of a variance there...

WishingRLwouldFuckOff · 31/03/2012 23:48

Pfft. Bold makes it clearer to see. just the oldies getting their knickers in a twist. Some of them are pros at it. Ignore them. No need for a domestic on that issue.

WishingRLwouldFuckOff · 31/03/2012 23:48
Wink
AnyFucker · 31/03/2012 23:53

I always use bold when naming names

well, mostly

RantyMcRantpants · 31/03/2012 23:58

Very succinctly put AF

HarrietSchulenberg · 01/04/2012 00:13

Thank you for this OP. Just remembered why I fired up the computer this evening (couple of hours ago but just popped in here while the application form was loading).

WishingRLwouldFuckOff · 01/04/2012 00:15
