...to think mumsnet should shut the laptop and GO FOR A FUCKING WALK ALREADY

[MuddhaOfSuburbia]

go on. it'll put some colour in your cheeks and stop you from punching MIL/DH/dog/totalstrangersofftheinternets

...incidentally when all this were fields we used to have Fun Threads on boxing day re Christmas poos and what not

it were brilliant

I am trying really hard to prevent my dd's from playing in the snow as we have no boiler so they cant get dry or warm afterwards :( noramlly I would totally agree with you though.

Been and done. Almost fell on my arse because of the ice.

But it's cold

fucking Nazi

awww gosh Dita not you, poor things

I just meant all the folk calling strangers twats etc

on the subject of your second post, dd drank a load of j2o glitterberry yesterday and I have asked for a report as to the sprklyness of her poo today.

I went for a walk ALREADY on Christmas morning, and dug up my parnsips.

We are off out in half an hour for two hours of sawing and lopping back some hedges.

How rude !

I have been up Scafell Pike already this morning. What more do you expect ?

I'm going out to buy some day-glo orange frozen sweet and sour sauce soon.

Beat that.

Great advice, I'm getting irrationally pissed off with posters seemingly inventing dramatic situations in order to worry the OP. Laptop (well phone) is being switched off and I'm off to talk to relatively sane RL people!

In the snow ?

Not a chance.

am already feeling shivery cos my (beloved) iPad just died (refuses to charge, no matter what fix I try).

Without this place to distract me I'll give in to iPad Loss Despair.

I don't like the new ones with their wonky IOS 8.

I like my nice chunky iPad 2.

until DS demands his back and then it will hit like a ton of bricks. in which case I will be forced off mumsnet and will go out. And roll in the snow. Howling at the universe. There may be some fist waving at the skies.

I've already been for one. Plus it's pissing down now.

I've been, with the happy thought in my head that if I went early, the dogs/boys would have a nice run about on the beach and then I could curl up under my Aldi heated blanket stuffing my face and MNing until bedtime with a guilt free heart. Now, who am I supposed to be hating?

I'm going to see Louis Spence in panto tonight. I need to save my stamina.

I've ready been. Now where's my snow?

I went for a walk in the dark up the side of a muddy hill on Christmas day. Went for a walk in the pelting rain and hail on a seafront yesterday. I haven't killed anyone this Christmas. Therefore YANBU. I did swear a bit about the muddy puddles on the hill

MN has been the most miserable place on the internet this Chistmas.

do not speak to me of iThingies

my ipod won't sync with my pc

I paid for Bert Kaempfert's Christmas and couldn't play it

fucksake

WORST CHRISTMAS EVER

twats

And I can spell Christmas.

yy Usual

used to come on here for a bit of Light Relief

now it's grim

All Trollz No Lolz

Yep, the laughs have been sadly lacking.

Its all dramaz and weeping and wailing.

Dullsvilles.

I've been busy this morning and I'm now sat with a lager watching Only fools and horses.

Will go for a walk when my dad, his wife and their dog turn up for "Christmas"

Who is a twat?? What have I missed??

I can't walk without crutches so I'll be buggered if I'm going out in the foot 3 inches of snow we've had!

muttersdarkly daft question have you connected it to a pc/Mac whatever other than the plug?
Mine
Occasionally doesn't do anything, I do that or a hard reset
