Find it very amusing when someone asks me 'so what do you do?' as I could be here all day listing everything... events, characters, nanny, model, dance, recruit..... Sleep.... Do it all again Lol

I should just say "portfolio career" or carry around my CV with me everywhere when asked!

Thatrabbittrickedme · 16/03/2016 22:12

Nat you are supposed to report, not troll hunt on the thread. And after reporting thrugh the proper channel, wait for MNHQ to do something drums fingers, waits

Natkingcole9 · 16/03/2016 22:16

Sorry rabbit I don't know the mumsnet rules. I just came back on mumsnet after a break and this is the first thread I clicked on and I'm shocked to see this is still going on! Will report now.

I'm with you dixie. I would rather eat my own toenails than be a children's entertainer. Although I suppose going by the op's definition of job I am actually a children's entertainer most Sundays when teach Sunday school. Actually, maybe I am the Archbishop of Canterbury..,

Love it how you say 'successful' company. I generally assume all companies are, it's not like anyone would introduce themselves 'hi I'm x and I work in a failing company'

LittleBlackTrilby · 16/03/2016 22:25

Awwww can't we keep the fun trolls??

Thatrabbittrickedme · 16/03/2016 22:45

Hi Nat - sorry I didnt want to make you feel bad, just unsubtly noting that I had reported and nothing happened yet. its still not good etiquette to call troll on a thread though, in the nicest possible way-

PaulAnkaTheDog · 16/03/2016 22:48

Awch, why are people spoiling the fun?! Pipz threads are awesome!

MissHooliesCardigan · 16/03/2016 23:10

How have I missed this? I have just emptied the litter tray. Does that make me a feline waste disposal technician?
I had a holiday job in the late 80's spending 10 hours a day putting inserts into Filofaxes in a factory with no natural light. We'd get really excited when we got 'special' ones to do eg I remember doing one for dentists which had lots of pictures of teeth and ads for dental equipment < stops inane rambling and gets ready for bed >

PerpendicularVincent · 16/03/2016 23:14

How often do people ask you what you do though, and why is it amusing?

I don't really see the point of your OP, except to boast.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 16/03/2016 23:14

No MissHoolies, that makes you a successful feline waste disposal technician.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 16/03/2016 23:16

Tbh, Pipz is very Romy and Michele.

'We're business women.'

Bet she invented the post it...

Floggingmolly · 16/03/2016 23:20

You could also say it makes you a shit stirrer, MissHoolie Grin
