To think maybe we don't fit in?

[MadameOneSword]

I think I'm definitely an outsider on MN, my kids arent gifted, we aren't rich, dammit we both have the work, full time! we don't live in a castle, shopat waitrose and certainly don't eat this good ham that y'all talk about

Maybe I just go back under my rock?

Ermmmm a bit.... and produces cheddar, pickled onion and pineapple on sticks!!

I think the trouble is that those people with the strongest opinions are the ones who feel compelled to express them all the time. So, you'll get people saying "I HATE leather sofas. They are WRONG."

The rest of us couldn't care less about what sort of sofas other people have in their houses. However, we also can't be bothered to start threads or post about it. So, it appears that MNers detest leather sofas, when actually only a few do, but they just really like letting everyone know about it. A lot.

Oh now ur talking!!!!! Let me pull up my fake leatheer chair lol

I have a council flat

Can I join? I am so out of the loop that I dont even know what is MN acceptable and what isnt (ok I dont really care either :) ) . Most days I wear trackie bottoms or jeans and a tee shirt, I hate dressing up. I shop in Penneys (the Irish eq of Primark) and dont own a single piece of designer, or even expensive, clothing and that suits me perfectly fine lol. I am currently sitting on a leather sofa which has seen better days and for tea this evening my lot had toast, although to be fair thats because we had dinner in MILs today and we were all stuffed.!

Id love tow start a thread saying AIBU to ABHORE leather chaise longues...lol

Lidls fake bailys is the best I think its £4 a bottle to.

Welcome elah, can we interest you in some cheese?

I haven't tried lido baileys, I like bucks fizz lol

Who lives in a castle? I think there are probably more people struggling financially on MN than affluent, well-off people. I think there are probably as many single parents as married/co-habiting ones. I think there are just as many (if not more) SAHMs as career women on MN, and thousands who do fairly basic local/part-time jobs as well. At least judging by the sheer amount of people on here all day eery day, I bloody well hope so.

Some people's DCs are very clever yes but LOADS seem to have SENs. I see as many people posting about shopping in Aldi as I do about Waitrose.

I beat you all in The Ham Department, ds will only eat Bernard Matthews Turkey Ham .

I live in a HA flat.

I spend an absolute fortune on my dc at Christmas.

We go to McDonalds at least once a week.

I have been known to drive dd the 400 yards to school.

I am definitely not a MN fit, more netmums, but I hated it there so you're stuck with me I'm afraid .

Wow, wafer thin ham from asda for lunch at full time work tomorrow. Sitting on my leather settee watching Twilight on my 42 inch wall mounted plasma wearing my I heart PA t shirt. I have a feature wall (wallpapered) in my sitting room and bedroom.

I like to think I'm so wrong I'm right.

I do have pombears for dds packed lunch tomorrow, do I get kicked out of the outsiders club for that??

Waiting on dh coming in with my Bigmac as we speak and I will highlight that with a lol.

I have a leather sofa and chair and some oak furniture from NEXT.

It's ok though because my rug and lampshades are from John Lewis and Laura Ashley so am hoping that offsets the horror :)

Asda smart price chicken pieces are where it's at. DD eats it straight from the packet. It gets put in her lunchbox mixed with pasta and veg or even slices of fruit. It's very versatile!

I prefer to be stuck you you people, lol,

fellatio that may well be true, but from what I've seen there's an awful lot of people on here who appear to live in a fairytail, I'm sure these these ladies know what I'm talking about.

Also theres a difference between people who choose to work and people who have to work, I'd love to be a SAHM but unfortunately that means my kids would go without things like child laboured shoes and unhealthy cereals

Hang on. Lidl do a fake Baileys? What's it called?

Marzipan...I think you may be posher Than you think lol...next? Chicken with slices of fruit? Maybe of could run some kind of seminar for us commoners?

me too

dont have a cleaner, wouldnt be caught dead in waitrose or wholefuds, never go abroad, hate ham, kids dont eat veg, drink fizzy juice, love greggs, love rose wine, kids wear footie colours, dh footie mad (the horror!!) and lives for his team, never have dinner parties or friends to stay for long weekends (shudder), never buy organic (rip off)

theres loads more

What is turkey ham?

Ssd...you could be our treasurer???? Deffo a board member!!

Irish cream thingy marzi it's better then the iceland fake one to.

Lidls totes gonna see an increase in sales tomorrow!!!

ha
poster girl for the outsiders!!

I love the idea of a seminar!

What you do is you go to Asda or your local grocer and get the reduced grapes/pears. You know the ones that are going a bit brown? Then you purchase the value chicken. Mix up fruit and chicken in a small plastic container bought from Home Bargains. Give to child at nursery. Looks posh but not really.
