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

I'm meant to be getting married next year and it's adding up to around £7k, which is more money than I've ever seen in one place!

SoonToBe will you be changing your surname?
If no, come on in.
If yes, begone.

penniechews · 10/02/2015 16:36

MadamG (sounds like a hooker) If you have laminate flooring, I think you may be a contender.

Soon that's sneaky. Trying to garner sympathy, and then admitting that you have a young man tucked away who will probably keep you in luxury for the rest of your days.

I will be changing my surname but mostly because my surname is the name of a fruit and is completely ridiculous! Blush

Penniechews my young man earns even less a year than I do! He's a postie with the Royal Mail, whatever luxury that affords Grin

penniechews · 10/02/2015 16:55

Soon don't tell anyone ssshhhh, but my young (now old) man, was a postie too when we married. Smile

Oh I also got married at lunch time, had a child free wedding except step children and I spent a lot of money on it. I must win now?

penniechews · 10/02/2015 17:04

MadamG Did you send out invites in the form of a poem, asking for money and supplying your bank details? This is crucial.

Take note Soon

We're eloping. Running off to NYC for a 5-minute city hall ceremony with no guests and then heading to Cancun for a week - we're not even telling anyone when we're doing it. Do you think it's poor form to still ask everyone for money? In a poem, of course Grin

penniechews · 10/02/2015 17:12

You don't need money Soon. You have something that's priceless.

YABU everyone whinges about everything on here. That's what it's here for :)

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2015 17:26

There is having a whinge and being bitter and nasty about a whole generation of people the bile some people spout is ridiculous. Btw I have laminate through out and fuck off big telly I am common

Are you a retired health visitor? That must give you an extra special level of hate on here Wink

Floisme · 10/02/2015 17:57

How about me? I'm a boomer and my neighbour is getting a goat.

SlicedAndDiced · 10/02/2015 18:12

I know two people who are claiming benefits as if they are single when they aren't....and I have no plans to tell on them.

Hairstylisttoboris · 10/02/2015 18:17

We asked for no presents at our wedding. No poem needed. We were given lots of money though.

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2015 18:42

GrannyGoggles · 10/02/2015 18:52

Baby boomer, fussy eater, landlady here. New tenants moved in at weekend and I provided new loo brushes. One of my cars is a 4x4, but def no personal plates. Am MiL x 2, offspring had child free weddings AND asked for money for travel,however, no poem. Finally, I bow to no woman in the lemon drizzle cake stakes - I stand supreme.

Getting my coat . . .

penniechews · 10/02/2015 18:55

I'm never going to eat fussy food, and I don't care. Grin

There is a special place in hell reserved just for me, apparently.
