have i reached the height of middle class pretension ?

[Gowgirl]

I've just realised I'm julienning carrots and cucumber for the moppets to dip in organic bloody hummus while admiring my shiny new bottle of craft gin.

Then I realised that they probally wont eat their fish fingers and chips now, and I spent all day mumsnetting so the house is a shit tip!

Feel free to add your own

That's what I thought Jam. My julienne peeler makes strips far too delicate for dips!

Not if you cannot capitalise your 'I' in your thread titles, no.

Maybe the OP is e e cummings

Mine is in my user name. DS (13) got the right hump because his meringue and cream came with strawberries not raspberries. He wanted Etonian Mess not Pavlova apparently.
Poor lambkins.

I buy frozen fruit and chips from Iceland I've been told I'm common. My cat loves olives so she's the "middle class" one in our house.

Ds 4 yo cried because we had chicken instead of duck last week. He has a Hatley rain coat and likes hummus.

No, I peaked 10 years ago when 3 year old dd piped up at the dinner table (thanks to a Riverford box) ' I love my Red Russian Curly Kale'. Its been all krispy Kremes and downhill from there though.

"well they must be loaded, they have an Ocado delivery

We have Ocado deliver now....but usually it's just one bottle of whiskey

Earlier today I made an organic wholemeal spelt loaf in the kitchen of our Grade 2 listed Tudor cottage.

the boys at school call ds posh. perhaps I should call the diy sos disaster of a flat, an apartment.

they probably think he is posh as he has veg in his lunch and no crisps. which are too fecking expensive for everyday

I was once late for a lunch date as the aga failed to bake the focaccia on time

Not sure if this counts, but DD's first holiday was to Barbados. But she used to get confused about the name of a local soft play place - Gambados- thinking it was Barbados.
Cue people asking her what she did at the weekend, and her replying "I went to Barbados!"

I have a fucking pasta maker. Beat that.

Food as a class marker, it's not rocket science is it. Lightening up!

OP,

Baby massage in the Waitrose community room.

Hatley rain coats look like the ones you can buy in Mountain Warehouse outlet for a tenner. What's so special about them?

dd likes olives. just the aldi ones though

I am not doing well on this middles class lark.

Today I was comparing different models of Range Rovers as a nice decent sized family car. I was very disappointed that apparently the Evoque has a shit boot.

Then I put on my Barbour to bring DS for a walk. Oh gawd.....

My 2 had plain unsalted rice cakes for a snack today, and rice as part of dinner (with salmon fillet and homemade ratatouille) and I worried they'd had too much rice today.

Once at Centre Parcs- 'mummy I don't like burgers can we have carrots and hummus' (said at full volume)

chickenowner,

Grade 2 Listed Tudor cottage...

I will never forget walking down our not-even-remotely posh school drive with one of the other mums when DS was in Reception. She asked him what he was having for tea and he said 'Wheely pasta!' (ruote) and then leaned towards her conspirationally and whispered 'You can only get it in Waitrose.'

(And given that we live in Wales, I can more or less guarantee that he was wearing his Hatley raincoat while he said it).

My friend saw me making a spanish omelette and declared, "Oooh scrummy - frittata!"

Overheard many years ago at my son's pre-school. Small child was rolling playdoh - adult asks child if she is making sausages - small child replies, 'no, they're stuffed vine leaves' .
