I have one week of work. I'm not going on holiday because I have no money.

However...

I am NOT going to spend the week on the sofa in my PJs, surfing Mumsnet and endlessly refreshing threads on FWR, AIBU and Relationships, whilst occasionally calling out for pizza and sushi.

No I am not.

I'm going to get up, get dressed and spend the week on noble pursuits: cycling, reading those papery things called books, learning another language, painting the flat, productive things.

So, farewell my beautiful MNers. Please don't have any newsworthy crises or classic-making threads whilst I'm gone. No new words, no new cancelling the cheques, no new ways to describe a vulva. Please be boring in my absence.

I love you. I miss you already and I will see you this time next week.

Good idea. We will hold you to your words.

Goodbye for now op. We'll be here when you return. Have a lovely break. Xx

araiwa · 26/10/2019 13:42

Who are you?

NotACleverName · 26/10/2019 13:42

Flounce one-niner you are now cleared for take-off.

TheQueef · 26/10/2019 13:43

No no no Snow you are doing mnet wrong.
The correct response is...
Off you fuck then, you won't be missed.
But I'm not sure we can say that in AIBU, flouncers corner!

FrankenCat · 26/10/2019 13:46

We've forgotten you already.
Just sayin'

Ah I will miss that, the missing of points!

Thank you clever I appreciate the metaphor. I do feel somewhat like one of those women pilots during the war: scared but excited.

But i will be back

I sometimes think that strapping up my thumbs might help me reclaim my life #toptip

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 26/10/2019 13:54
Hmm
VeniVidiVoxi · 26/10/2019 13:54

You're already back! You never left. You can't. Ha.

Welcome to the hotel muuuumsnet....

AwkwardSquad · 26/10/2019 13:54

Well, if you’re going to go to all the effort of flouncing, we’ll be wanting photographic evidence of this when you come back: I'm going to get up, get dressed and spend the week on noble pursuits: cycling, reading those papery things called books, learning another language, painting the flat, productive things.

Partly so I can remember what all of those look like...

SafetyAdvice0FeedWhenAgitated · 26/10/2019 13:54

See you later tonight😁

TheMustressMhor · 26/10/2019 13:58

I bet you're only planning to do some cycling while you're on your flounce so that you can start a thread about it when you return in a few hours time after your week#s break.

Wheat2Harvest · 26/10/2019 14:02

Or you could flounce temporarily.

coatlessinspokane · 26/10/2019 14:06

ooh that may actually inspire me to do those things!

@Wheat2Harvest

Or you could flounce temporarily.

Now you're just being a pedant.

StayAChild · 26/10/2019 14:07

Are you going to come back and bore everyone with your new cycling hobby? You'll meet plenty of MN DHs out pursuing their hobby.

TheMustressMhor · 26/10/2019 14:07

@coatlessinspokane

You just can't leave, can you?

I can stop posting any time I choose personally

Morgenrot · 26/10/2019 14:12

You're still here aren't you @coatlessinspokaneGrin

ThanosSavedMe · 26/10/2019 14:14

TheMustressMhor · 26/10/2019 15:00

Come back, Coatless.

There have been many interesting threads since you last posted.

Chloe84 · 26/10/2019 15:12

That made me lol! Grin

I might have a similar break, spend far too much time here.

Can’t believe you got Hmm faces, there are way too many miserable people here! 😀

Chunkers · 26/10/2019 15:35

Take me with yoooooooo.....

I have calluses on my thumb with holding the iPad too much. I’m totally addicted and have a gazillion things on my to do list.
