I'm starting to feel distinctly unwelcome on MN, in spite of being on here for years. AIBU?

Do you also own more than 6 types of salt?

Behindthepaintedgarden · 10/02/2015 15:29

Are you by any chance a troll? A troll would even trump a chain smoking, fruit shoot drinking, benefits claiming baby boomer who owns their own 6 bedroom house in Kensington.

Nancy66 · 10/02/2015 15:33

I'll deliver the bullet. As long as you have: a low carber, 'clean' eater and paleo person standing immediately behind you.

FaFoutis · 10/02/2015 15:34

It is not that straightforward though OP.

My MIL is an atrocious bastard, that trumps my vegetarianism, for example.

PervyMuskrat · 10/02/2015 15:34

I'm a fussy eating landlord who formula feeds and has a lax approach to laundering bedding and towels Grin

penniechews · 10/02/2015 15:34

I'm falling behind here, I don't smoke, but I did grow up in a faggy fog in a council flat.

But I did grow up in a faggy fog in a council flat....

You've blown it now, letting that desirable bit of info out.

OstentatiousBreastfeeder · 10/02/2015 15:39

I don't vaccinate my children. And I don't always feel like explaining why.

penniechews · 10/02/2015 15:52

I may have grown up poor , but I did buy my first house for £4000.

I think you're fine, OP. Unless you want to confess your undying love for UKIP, fervent faith in 'sky fairies', or possession of a toilet brush??? Grin

SoonToBeMrsB · 10/02/2015 16:00

FaFoutis

I came on just to ask the OP if she says "could of" Grin

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2015 16:02

But sure with your hooooge pension you can afford a personal chef to cook for your fussiness

Weathergames · 10/02/2015 16:07

What is a "waterfall cardigan"? Confused

I am a SM Smile

Nanny0gg · 10/02/2015 16:08

Perhaps you could throw in a couple of spelling mistakes to make it up to us?

Babyboomers were edukated proper.

They dont do speling mitackes.

penniechews · 10/02/2015 16:08

My pension is so huge that "Equity release" is a phrase that has never entered my head.

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2015 16:21

Bet your multi holidays and car for every day of the week keeps you happy do you not realise how selfish you are tut Grin

Trickydecision · 10/02/2015 16:23

Fussy eater here (veggie but munches DH's bacon sandwiches with enthusiasm)
Baby booming landlady
Four loo brushes
Partial to my Uggs (actually Bearspaw but essentially the same)

Refers to adult sons as 'boys', which apparently 'infantilises' them
Reads DMail (only online wouldn't like to be seen carrying it)
Delighted to get WFA and free bus pass, long may it continue.

Obviously beyond the Mumsnet pale.

FaFoutis · 10/02/2015 16:24

SoonToBe you may not want to do the high five with me when you find out I am in a final pension scheme.

FaFoutis · 10/02/2015 16:26

salary, sorry eating cake.

SoonToBeMrsB · 10/02/2015 16:26

I'm 24 and live in a mouldy rented flat with no pension, no savings and no hope of a mortgage until I'm about 106 Sad

penniechews · 10/02/2015 16:27

I read DMail, but only because I get it free each day when I pop into Waitrose.

OP posts:
SoonToBeMrsB · 10/02/2015 16:27

Sorry, I have £500 in savings.

penniechews · 10/02/2015 16:28

Soon are you sure you're trying hard enough dear?

OP posts:
FaFoutis · 10/02/2015 16:31

Bless you SoonToBe, that is shit. £500 is not to be coughed at though, I bet you are a looker too.

MadamG · 10/02/2015 16:33

Get behind me in the line to be shot please.

I am a step mum. I am a landlord. I can not spell, I have a limited grasp on basic grammar. I am a fussy eater. I drive a car with personalised plates. I buy cake, I do not bake.

I'm a lovely person really, despite my sins.
