I just saw a thread where someone admitted to watching tv ( ITV no less) in the day.

OP posts:

I know, but you’re not allowed to add them to usernames!

SarfE4sticated · 13/04/2018 17:46

sorry my brain just exploded. It's an apostrophe nightmare and I can't fix it.

If I wore anything but leggings right now I’d probably give birth from discomfort.
Currently sat here wondering why people iron their sheets

I’ll make up for it by buying some almond milk

I found Netmums utterly chavtastic.
I’m stood in my kitchen in a posh bit of Surrey, about to use pesto out of a jar. I keep ketchup in the fridge. I have a toilet brush. Yesterday when I asked my DS (almost 4) if he could think of anything else we needed with the Ocado shop he suggested ‘Champagne?’.
Am I sort of working class but with a badly fitting middle class mask...?

FlibbertyGiblets · 13/04/2018 17:51

Bluntness100 · 13/04/2018 17:54

POUTINE is one word and PUTIN is another. aye. GOADY and FUCKER are two more

That actually made me laugh out loud 😂

ShatnersBugaLugs · 13/04/2018 17:55

Right, that’s enough now.

Thoth · 13/04/2018 17:57

Ah flibberty, I remember changing cushions! But I did not think that there was anything fishy about the OP...

ConfusedLivingDoll · 13/04/2018 18:15

I frustrate people by my inability to fit in one of their mental class compartments. I wonder why a normal for wouldn't work with cake, though? Where I come from we tend to use desert spoons for cake instant pariah

ConfusedLivingDoll · 13/04/2018 18:17

"Fork" ffs

MaireadMacSweeney · 13/04/2018 18:27

Thoth, not fishy, more chaotic?

LifeBeginsAtGin · 13/04/2018 18:49

I have a fruit bowl AND am watching TV in the day AND I call it a toilet. Am as common as muck, actually. It's great.

Pengggwn · 14/04/2018 08:57

And I have a toilet brush. And I don't have a chicken shelf or a salmon shelf.

PrincessoftheSea · 14/04/2018 09:04

Why is fruit bowls working class?😂

VladimirsPouting · 14/04/2018 09:08

My fruitbowl is massive. What of it?

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 14/04/2018 09:10

Cake forks??? When my mother died in 2015 she still had two little boxed sets of cake forks - never used AFAIK - wedding presents from 1939! - in a drawer.

paxillin · 14/04/2018 12:59

It is important to know exactly where that fruit bowl is for maximum Hyacinth points. On the dinner table or the side board?

Lweji · 14/04/2018 13:00

Don't forget what fruit it is.

PositivelyPERF · 14/04/2018 13:06

looks at fruit bowl containing two bags of hula hoops and some imitation twix bars 😳

psychomath · 14/04/2018 13:21

Never mind that it's no longer middle class, where are all the humourless twats jumping on OP with 'Hmm's and 'Biscuit's and 'Why do you care?'s in the first three replies? Did everyone here get abducted by aliens and replaced while I wasn't looking?

RoseWhiteTips · 14/04/2018 13:26

Sparklesocks

A little bit too obviously goady, this one..

What on earth are you talking about? All
I can see is a bit of self deprecating banter. (I have only just started reading, tbf.)

But this implication that someone is a “troll” who is attempting to “goad” or insult other posters is one that I am heartily sick of. People like you are trying to police the site - or do you have some other reason for making your comments?
