Confessions of a Mumsnetter

[PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea]

I have never ever seen Downton Abbey and don't intend to.

Moly, I've never got as far as imagining that [bleurgh]

Another one. My teenage/preteen sons are not six feet tall and not 'top of their class' (well, one of them possibly is, but he's not a super gifted selfstarter).

Oh forgot...
My bras get multiple wear before washing
I Love wine, far too oooo much
My kids sometimes bore me to tears
I make my husband lunch for work
I don't wash up after every meal
This feels so liberating freely admitting my flaws and failures and not giving a shit!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂

I don't know what zoflora is

I’ve never heard of Zoflora
I have never owned a toilet brush
I think eating meat every day is a Good Thing
I’ve no interest in Transgender or Feminist politics

I have a toilet brush.
I wash my bathroom towels twice a week.
I get along really well with my future MIL.
I have a fiancé and I'm a SAHM!

I have never had a cup of tea

I'm unashamedly vain and wear full make up every day, wear fake tan, love pink and bling and hold down a professional job - I'd be pelted with tomatoes in the stocks at MNHQ

I think SAHMs who complain about their husbands not doing the same or more housework than them are lazy.

I haven't ironed anything since 2005

I hate housework with a passion, I like science fiction & I would rather talk to someone in person or on the phone then text or email or facebook them

& I get along well with my sil

I have a mostly hidden disability which means

• I’m getting a moon cup or reusable pads
• I use shower gel and liquid shampoo
• use antibacterial wipes for cleaning
• I eat ready meals

I don’t have the MN confidence to not feel ashamed about all the above

I also have a loo brush

Abbreviations on here are stupid and they make all posters sound like a bunch of 11 year olds

@LaBelleSauvage whats an iron?

Should be not getting a moon cup

I spend too much time on Facebook.
I live in a council house.
I claim benefits (totally legitimately).
I had hair extensions, and occasionally wear fake tan. I wouldn’t go out with hairy legs on show, but I’ve never had a bikini wax (just do the edges with a razor on the odd occasion I wear swimwear).
Phew! That was actually quite cathartic..

@HimHerWhatever agree with you I hate the abbreviations, they're ridiculous and are getting worse. When I see DDog something snaps inside me 😂

My Dad walked me up the aisle.
I took DH's name when we married.
I have an eternity ring.
I sometimes shop in Iceland.
I think Christmas dinner is a huge waste of time and money.

I agree.

I think those who don't iron their clothes are deluded and us 'ironers' can spot you with your crinkly clothes

At night I sometimes slink off to the corner shop with my coat on over my pyjama bottoms.

My dh and I conspired to kill a pestilential murderous seagull (which has since disappeared so we didn't have to, huzzah)

I hate the term ‘man flu’ and think it’s unpleasant and belittling. If my DP is ill I feel sorry for him and make a fuss of him, and he does the same for me.

I hate roast dinners and have never made one. If I did my husband wouldn't eat it either.

We don't do a big shop. It's just the two of us and we live in the city so we just pick up what we want each day. Mostly stuff for salads and sandwiches.
We don't have breakfast dinner or tea times. Each of us just eats what we want when we want it, or we go out to eat.

I'm shit at recycling properly

My DC have spent more than 6 hours gaming today
