6 hours of prime childcare in place; triple stacked deadlines looming over me.... Let me see....

AIBU to think that cats should exercise some modesty when suckling their kittens?

AIBU to nick my neighbours plasma TV to pay my tax bill? ( cos it's my taxes that paid for it in the first place!)

still resisting

bananas are just not the same. There is a risk I will eat two bananas and still go to the chocolate machine

WetGrass · 04/09/2013 14:43

Pshaw!

I spent a happy half an hour refreshing my on-desk biscuit tin.

Why waste valuable procrastination time and risk avoidable exercise?

must not go to office chocolate machine

Actually - I have infected my DC with this malaise.

Yesterday night I had to spring in on Dd that I'd misread the calendar & school started again TOMORROW.

Poor love... spent four hours finishing homework & then missed breakfast to do some more this morning. I threatened to keep driving unless I saw some toast go down her throat....!

ParsingFancy · 04/09/2013 12:36

AIBU to tell you I'm doing nothing again today?

(Only because I'm paying for not managing to do nothing yesterday, but we'll gloss over that).

BlackeyedSusan · 04/09/2013 12:30

oi you hairy handed troll face, what do you mean diet coke for your trollette? proper mners would give 'em fruitshoot

now is that more like the response you were looking for?

Beastofburden · 04/09/2013 12:25

ps my boss got back today. Never mind post holiday blues, she seems to have post holiday psychosis, she is all hyper, thankfully not stabby though.

Beastofburden · 04/09/2013 12:24

Its OK, it will rain on Friday. the worst thing about coming back to work this week has been looking at all that loverly weather outside the office window

WetGrass · 04/09/2013 12:22

sigh

And another work avoiding day ahead!

Whatever did we do before MN?

OP posts:

ParsingFancy · 03/09/2013 21:12

So, successful work avoidance all day then?

WetGrass · 03/09/2013 20:46

Nope. Not a happy bunny at work. Cannae do it. It's too hard.

& lost the evening to counselling DD through a homework-related emotional breakdown (the irony!) via a bubble bath for her & mini magnums for two.

HerrenaHarridan · 03/09/2013 19:41

Did you get your work done

FrussoHathor · 03/09/2013 15:46

Aibu to Botox my Persian? And my neighbours British bulldog whilst I'm at it?

ParsingFancy · 03/09/2013 15:41

sole.

I have just done some gardening in order to put off having to do nothing...

SoleSource · 03/09/2013 15:33

Oh the irony Parsing

Beastofburden · 03/09/2013 14:04

So we cant hunt trolls but we can bait them?

Gawd MN is a complicated place. See if Olivia needs maternity leave cover.

Pigsmummy · 03/09/2013 13:58

I was thinking about starting a Liz Jones thread, haven't seen one for a while. Also think I should put a block on my firewall to stop me sitting in this site when my house is a tip

Repeatedlydoingthetwist · 03/09/2013 13:38

AIBU to twist my actual question so that I can ask it as an AIBU? It's a really dull question so I'm trying to spice it up a bit.

WetGrass · 03/09/2013 13:33

Aargh - fuck me it's hard to concentrate!

What would it take for MN to buy me out of my current contract, and employ me as troll-baiter in chief?

OP posts:

ParsingFancy · 03/09/2013 12:16

YABVVVVVVVVVVVU to start a thread I don't find entertaining even when everyone else does.

You're obviously an attention-seeking bridge-dweller and must be hounded off MN to save the credulous thickoes from themselves.

(I am not procrastinating: I am supposed to be doing nothing. But I'm bored doing nothing, and am procrastinating about it.)

AIBU to expect you to agree my MIL is evilest woman in the world for this minor quirk

WetGrass · 03/09/2013 12:06

AIBU to give my 6mo diet coke?
(to help her lose weight - because the HV said she was too fat) .

OP posts:

lurkedtoolong · 03/09/2013 11:44

AIBU to think that coca-cola is a suitable drink for my 6 month old baby? I always thought it was evil but when I was getting her ear pierced at my regular tattooist it was the only thing that stopped her crying.
