What's a stealth boost?

Well that's a problem I'd like to have. I have been around people who say this, but you know, they really don't try that hard (looking at my SIL, who is hugely active and when you push forward the cake in her direction, will decline it as she is naturally disposed to a very healthy diet - yet she says she really wants to gain weight).
For all the would-be weight gainers out there, just incorporate into your diet as much of the most densely calorific foods as possible, eg chocolate, crisps and anything sweet such as cake and desserts. I guarantee it will work!

Time for the annual renovation of the ski chalet. I can't believe all the interior designers in Gstaad seem to be on holiday at the moment - anyone know a British one willing to be flown their at my expense?

I think some of these confectionery puns are a bit Flakey but I'd be Lion if I didn't find a couple of them a real Treet.

That made me Snicker. 😂
What a Bounty of comedians we have on here.

Now now people stay on Topic

This is perhaps a different thread but I'm keen to hear about examples of people in other places being more overtly braggadocious. I've only lived in the UK. I'm trying to think about foreigne friends who might do this but struggle. I just can't imagine being clearly boastful and it not being really awkward! Like what do you say if someone says I've got a new 4x4 just smile and nod?!

This thread has given me the MUNCHIES I'll ask dg to pick me something delicious up from waitrose on his way home. Well he earns 500,0000 so he should be able to treat me every now and then..

Dh not dg

See, @allinadaystwerk , I read that as "dog" and thought you were stealthily boasting about having trained Fido to do your shopping

A cautious chocolate bar

I'd prefer a cautious chocolate bar to a careless wispa any time!

Anyhow, can you all help me pick a dress please? I've seen two in Selfridges that were only £295 each, that's so cheap!

LOL 🤣😂

In this sort of weather I always get a tan, no matter how much I stay in the shade!

Oh - and time for a Picnic ...

My cleaner and pool cleaning and lady have gone off sick this week .. the kids won't go in the pool as it's not been cleaned yet and my husband has taken the Porsche to work today leaving me with the dull Range Rover Evoque to go to Waitrose. We couldn't go to the Caribbean this year because of covid and I'm fuming that his quarterly bonus will only be 20 k instead of 25k! Aibu ?
(I may have made all that up ! )

It's generally less full on that that but a mumsnetters who likes people to know they have a charmed life generally!
( I'd love a pool and a nice pool cleaning lady to chat too! 😀)

when an acquaintance put on Facebook “been on hold forever, HMRC don’t make it easy to let them know you’re not eligible for child benefit anymore!”
We get it, you earn £50k+ , well done!

I eat like a small bird = you are fat and gluttonous

There are some hysterical ones on the FB group I’m on:

Photo of big delivery of highly expensive products in their individual boxes. “Need some ideas on how to store my (brand name) items”

Photo of immaculate kitchen with beautifully presented gifts bags neatly covering whole table. “Sigh...don’t know where we’re going to eat later lol!”

Just to add, these comments have the tiniest of links to what the group is about.

In the early days of Facebook everyone never just had "2 kids" they always had "2 adorable children who have come first in the potty training olympics and can play all the works of Mozart backwards on the spoons"...

A lot of the 'Are we the only people in the world who do xxx' threads are stealth boasts.

A recent one asked something about 'Are we the only ones who don't give our children dessert?'

About 500 stealth boast replies along the lines of 'Well we occasionally let them have some mango after their hand-reared organic lentil and tofu bake but it does worry me because there's SO MUCH SUGAR in mangoes.'

School mums a few years back

1. Oh, Darling, you haven't seen Don Giovanni in the Milano Opera house? Next year you should come with us!!!

1. Oh, this new jag suv is a drag. We ordered light blue and look at this color....

1. You really buy your son's shirts from amazon? Our's refuses anything else but tyrwhitt 100% organic cotton. (Kid was 11 and T. doesn't do kids :) )

I’m furious with DH. He’s only gone and furloughed the butler and 3 parlour maids. On full pay. We’re now down to our last billion. AIBU?

I just shouted for DD to put her flip flops on, but “flip flops” came out as “Havianas” and now I reckon the neighbours are thinking “twat”

I'm replying to you whilst sitting by my swimming pool, Jeeves is making me a simply delicious g and t as I type.

I think some of these confectionery puns are a bit Flakey but I'd be Lion if I didn't find a couple of them a real Treet.

I'm revelling in all these good jokes as I sit here relaxing in my extensive garden cabana.

Also known as a humble brag.

I can see this one in Classics ! Not a stealth boast, I'm just laughing a lot at the replies

You lot are a load of (Mal) teasers.
