I hold my hands up - I'm a lurker. I love reading through other threads, rarely posting.

But i AM a busymotheroffourboys and want to use the few hours I have getting the best of mumsnet. AIBU used to be good. Now it's mostly attention seekers talking about non stuff.

Say I am BU. Go on. raises fists and does pathetic punchy things in air

Glad you've come out of lurking to help entertain us all then Grin

Can you tap dance?

loverofwine · 21/09/2012 22:41

No. But I do a brilliant drunk middle aged woman reliving her youth whilst dancing to 80s music impression. You might almost say it was genuine.

I used to fancy I could breakdance after four bottles of Pils. Ah - happy days. Now a moonwalk to the toilet is a good day out!!

loverofwine · 21/09/2012 22:48

..and WHAM. That was my first single. Club Tropicana plus a pair of slightly square 'fashion' shoes from Clarkes Those were the days. No one was ever BU then

YABU

Go and start an interesting thread somewhere else.

I can't as no-one ever posts on my threads

loverofwine · 21/09/2012 22:49

I dance when I am emptying the dishwasher. It is actually almost as fun as snogging spotty fat boys because they were a sure thing.

"No one was ever BU then" Untrue, apparently some bitch accepted George's heart then the very next day, gave it away. Terrible times. At Christmas too.

loverofwine · 21/09/2012 22:51

..One and only please tell me where?

Wherever I go it is people stressing about stuff. I want a section that lets me let my hair down, drink red wine and talk about Descartes.

Does Mumsnet do this? Does it???

OP posts:
loverofwine · 21/09/2012 22:52

And dance. Not to Descartes obviously because I don't believe he was a great singer.

WHAM was your first single? Holy freaking moley. Mine was The New Seekers.

loverofwine · 21/09/2012 22:52

But then I never met him and it is cruel to judge

loverofwine · 21/09/2012 22:53

MadgeHarvey I had a new seekers single that my mum picked up from the school sale. And I was a late starter. And I look gooooood for my age. Obviously - because I've had four kids and that is AMAZING for your body
