To wonder if i'm from a different planet

[cleanmyhouse]

Just that really. I think i might be in the wrong place.

• am a (happily) single mum
•have no grief with my ex
•live on the 7th floor of a council high rise so don't need to build a 6 foot fence or get bamboo
•earn £21k a year and have no chance of buying a house because a mortgage in this city is way out of my league
•no car so no parking issues
•can't afford a holiday
•have a distant, but friendly enough relationship with my MIL
•sent the ds's to a local state school
•never hired a tutor
•no guest room to decorate
•drink full sugar fizzy pop and don't eat enough fruit
•can't feed my family of 3 on £30 a week •have no weddings to attend this year

Should i just fuck of dear?

I love asda. All the ones I frequent are very new and shiny. I don't like their range of children's clothes, though. Sainsburys are better for that.

MN has been an eye opener. You do get to interact with more people from a wider range of backgrounds than you ever do in real life and gain an insight into their lives and their problems.

Oh God I only wear tunics and leggings

On the whole Farrow and Ball thing (it's a horrifically expensive paint OP that the well offconsider to be superior with better coverage and decorators dislike because it takes more coats than other ppaints andis difficult to apply and generally dont think it superior, the lovers of it think that the decorators dont lime it because they arevlazy.

my parents are divided on it however as My mum would be the sterotypical stereotype of the posh Mn (without the culinary and craft part but has the materialistic side down to a t) and my dad is in the building trade, she coverts farrow and ball and has the whole house done in it, apart from it isn't and actually has the whole house done in dulux made to the shade chosen. There's one room however in F&B as she actually bought the paint (buy one get one free) and to this day my dad is to be heard occasionally muttering about the 'awful pain in the arse paint' and how that room cost more than the rest of the house put together.

Op loads of us are 'normal', we just keep ourselves hidden. I've got 99 problems but my mil ain't one.

Tunic and leggings are great with boots.

And with pumps in summer.

My Dad fits the MN stereotype of an interfering dad so that's how I fit in.

I vote we rename the sight MoansNet.

I dont't know but you might be able to get half an hour of free legal advice from a local solicitor or call 111 or perhaps both?

I really think there should be a I need a moan section.

Rather than just AIBU.

I don't conform to the middle class stereotype either. But it's funny how it's lighthearted to slag off the middle.class on MN but to go the other way is rightfully frowned upon. Yes I know it's lighthearted. Just something I have noticed.

Is that not chat and AIBU anyway

I don't mind the moaning, its the things some posters moan about. Well when I say moan I mean stamp their feet and get indignant. Chicken, party invites, Santa. Santa! Everyone is out to get them.

To be fair, I think I'm the only one who says the Santa thing will give kids trust issues. Everyone else seems to love it.

I'm not sure, can you do an Aldi shop without having to get advice from a load of people you don't knows out what you should buy?

I can't type

Annie wait til end of Oct/start of Nov. you will have people agreeing with you.

This will then stretch out til Feb where it will then be moaning about valentines

I don't care about paragraphs. Yeah I said it.

lois yes! And the people who are obsessed with showing how fab they are when it comes to spelling and grammar

fuckit Valentines? Let me guess.... Sexist?

No, just people
Competing to see who doesn't care at all the most

oh GOD I love Mumsnet! Nothing to add. Just love it.

Is Valentines sexist now? What about Mother's Day?

man, i leave you lot alone for a couple of hours and it all kicks off.

Tunics and leggings with boots in winter. Mainly because I'm too chubby for jeans these days. Not that chubby people can't wear jeans, specifically this chubby person. They cut me in half and hang off my arse due to my unfortunate apple shape.

Its the battle to see who is the highest strung on any given subject that makes me I don't know where some posters get the energy.

Oh, and what took you so long FuckIt

I NEEDED YOU THIS MORNING!
