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?

oooohhhh ! get you sudaname

Any room for another one under the rock. I've got my onesie on and am sitting eating crap while my children are playing unsuitable Xbox games instead of sleeping. My kids have fillings, my house isn't a show house, and pretty much everything else on this thread.
I'm happy to stick tampons up me rather ham save the environment, I don't own any expensive clothes, have laminate floor.
I've also had Greggs sausage rolls for breakfast while I was out shopping this morning. I'm happy though even though we dont have fancy jobs, arent rich, live in an ex council house with junkie neighbours.
Im also having a feature wall in the living room when I decorate it after Christmas because I like them. I also don't really care what anyone thinks anymore cos I'm me. So can I join in.

One of my favourite sights I the world in watching a baby in a sloppy onesie run across Laminate

Minesapint, dancing & drinking - currently on the early nights as pregnant.

I do shop at Waitrose quite offten. I pop in before closing time to get lovely cream cakes for 20-30p. Cheaper than Gregs! Does this make me 'Waitrose shopper'?

It's really nice to know that when we get those MN reccomends emails Im probs not the only one that enters cataplexy...when will we see MN RECOMMENDS smart price apple pies dave says 'actually they taste okay', bill says '39p...I, gunsmith buy 12'

memoirs of a slightly tubby mum

To include chapters on the night i cooked balti in a bag chicken with microwave rice, the art of sex without the teen boys hearing, 101 ways to cook a fishfinger and lidl bargins of 2012.

I think we'd all buy that, it would be a Christmas best seller...especially the 101 ways to cook a fish finger...I can only think of grill, oven bake, microwaves, stick in between two slices of bread...wonder if u could curry them?

Room for another under the rock?

Every piece of clothing I own is made of saggy t-shirt material and comes from Primark. I consider New Look expensive and only for a really special occasion. I have never owned a piece of clothing from Boden/Next/Oasis/Warehouse etc.

We live in a tatty rented house with damp (albeit in a 'naice' area).

I'm currently vegetarian but when I ate pork I HATED 'naice' ham and adored wafer-thin variety (the cheaper and saltier the better).

My desert island food would be fish n chips, or battered onion rings.

I love rose or cheap white wine.

I'm watching Xtra Factor on ITV2 as I type.

Buying Closer magazine is one of the highlights of my week.

I don't believe in Lamaze toys, Katie the sodding Giraffe, Bugaboos, or baby-wearing.

I give my toddler packets of Mini Cheddars to keep him quiet when I'm shopping in Primark.

So....can I join the gang please?

Juggling

and l even have crushed ice done with my Ice Crusher dont you know

well alright ! l just wrap the ice in a tea towel and twat it with mi rolling pin

curried fish fingers sounds yummy. Maybe Jamie Oliver will include it in his next 30 minutes cook book

Oh scampi you are in with bells on!!!

We have sausage curry here, it's a family fave

sudaname i send my oh to the pub where he sends too much time and money anyway with a asda shopping bag to "borrow" ice. Luck for me the pub is only 100 yards away

I live in a small flat. DDs share a room and me and DH sleep on a mattress on the living room floor. We have no plans to move any time soon. We are happy.

I am a SAHM and have no plans to find a job any time soon (until DDs are older) DH works a lot.

We only eat smart price food and most of the meat has 'added water' so there isn't much food in our food

DD1 is on the G+T register so maybe I fit in there

Right, I'm gunna go find dh who went to out girls in bed 2 hours ago, and is probably asleep now too! It's that kind of time, I've really enjoyed having you ladies under my rock this evening, I hope we can reconveine tmorrow!! Maybe over some ridiculously sugary breakfast cereal and some orange juice from concentrate!!!

Night!!!

Mooncups? Washable pads? What the fuck is going on? Can we be peddled any more sticks to beat ourselves with? How about re-usable nappies and some back-breaking baby-wearing? Having guns held to our heads to breastfeed, anyone?

Until I started reading about such horrors on MN I'd previously thought that we'd liberated ourselves from the old life of scrubbing tyrannically prescriptive drudge into a beautiful new shiny land of disposable nappies, nicely-wrapped and scented tampons, labour-saving devices, and CHOICE.

Apparently once one class of women can afford to contract-out their housework they then decree that all women should return to time-consuming, teeth-pulling, labour-intensive forms of living.

Hmmm. I hope their naice ham repeats on them ad infinitum.

Whilst I'm ranting: baby sign-language / baby massage / baby yoga .

Can i squeeze in to please???

I've got 5...yes 5 dc. Never ever been to a baby&toddler group. Did cc,BLW?? Isn't that when the baby eats off my plate? ff as well...

I confess,Im a secret smoker(the shame).
Never heard of mooncups/passable sanitary towels or Boden until i found MN.

SAHM,no career&last job was 11 yrs ago.

Leather sofas & lots of laminate in this council house!

That was washable sanitary towels...doh!

Scampi scampi scampi!!!!

(like a football chant)

Right ladies, I think we send her in first and we pop out behind her and go yeahhh I. Our big scary voices?.

Night night Madame. Sleep tight in that onesie.

And night night all. I'm off myself now to lay my head on my Argos value 'bounce back' pillows. So much comfier than that rubbish goose-down muck.

Oh, I don't have a onesie... Am considering asking Santa for one... Although currently breast feeding, think it might get a bit breezy also husband may leave

Cripes. I think that's the first time I've ever written anything that's been commented on before. I'm usually not rich enough to afford good posts!

BFing in a onesie - that sounds chilly and also the kind of thing that would make me feel all wierd and wriggly in the brain (a bit like when wearing t-shirt and socks but with a bare bum).

No, I don't have a onesie either.

Was also thinking of asking Santa for one, but I'm worried how they'd work with my freakish body proportions of child's legs and giant's torso.

Right - bedtime! See you for some Coco Pops and 'from concentrate' in the morning.

p.s. ShellyWelly - Are you actually me in disguise (with a few more DCs)???

We both work full time and our kids are mixed in their abilities. We don't live in a castle either, shop at Tescos mostly and sometimes eat dubious ham

You are not alone.
