To wish there was a confessionals section

[hicoolcatsandkittens]

Where you could just come on and offload your little sins you couldn't say in person.

Can we have a thread of confessions you want to get off your chest and give us some lighthearted laughs to distract from the current situation.

My friends and family (other than my husband) don't know I'm out of work at the moment. I feel so ashamed.

This thread has cheered me up no end. The 1.5hr big shop waiting for click and collect absolute genius. Actually smiled for the first time in days. Thank you mumsnet. My confession, I used to look up old boyfriends on Facebook while with my ex husband. 22 years later and I'm living with a boyfriend from school and expecting a daughter next month 😳 he's amazing, mostly. His kids meh

This has really cheered me up.

I go and pick sweets up on route to picking my child up from nursery and then eat without sharing

I overslept and was 45 minutes late for work. I was going to pretend I was having IT issues and then found out the whole network was down for real 😂

I’m too selfish to be in a successful relationship.

I'm middle-aged and still have a comfort blanket and I can't sleep without it

I have one but it's a bit dark, so here is my other one (which is shamefully disgusting):

When I get in bed at night I like to pick my nose and flick my bogies onto the floor. We have floorboards so I think they just roll into the gaps.

I make sure I have finished before dh comes up.

I ordered a huge number of McDonalds breakfasts on Just Eat when my husband had gone back to work and I was working from home. I also ordered several Subways at lunchtime.

I told my husband my louboutins cost £80. He believed me.

I let my children eat ALL their Christmas chocolate the day they were going to their dad's. In my defence he kept changing when he was going to pick them up so it ended up nearly two days later than originally planned. It was a small piece of very petty revenge.

I really loved Christmas and not having to go to my PIL's.
I missed my parents a bit more but overall this Christmas is the best one I have ever had as an adult because I didn't have to see them.

When Inlaws would come over (pre Covid) and the baby needed a nap, I'd pop upstairs to feed to sleep and stayed upstairs for far longer than required binge watching Netflix and snacking!

Sometimes I like responding to troll threads and get sad when they're deleted.

I have two monitors on my pc, so during (boring) meetings, I watch the meeting on screen A and play competitive Spider Solitaire on screen B. I got my DH to check and apparently it's not at all noticeable that my attention is diverted - most people are looking at work papers on another screen anyway. I am now VERY good at Spider Solitaire!

I have two monitors at work also, so any boring teams meetings I start doing other things on the other - unfortunately my webcam is still on and apparently it’s quite obvious 😂😬 haven’t quite got your skill jrb123

I spoke to my mum on the phone earlier today about how well I was doing at eating healthily. Put the phone down and inhaled a whole box of Maltesers!

I sometimes fantasise about winning the lottery so I can go and live in an amazing apartment in New York but not before telling my so-called close girlfriends to go fuck themselves and that they won't be getting a penny. They have shown themselves to not be supportive at all and take take take from me without me getting much back.

I do feel bad for thinking this though!

My mum doesn’t come to us due to not being able to travel and with my work schedule we can’t really go to her. However I have not missed my PILs being here for Christmas- they are nice people we get on - but they’d got used to being waited on hand and foot and expected fresh food and puddings every day and are more fussy than us - I’m the cook in the house so have brought it on myself by throwing them out of the kitchen years ago (then it was for a bit of space from his family). My husband is like oh poor them, FIL is like this is the first time we’ve had Christmas on our own - I personally think I’ve had the best time ever as I’ve only had to concentrate on us and not having to worry about so and so won’t eat anything with tomatoes in it ! I know a lot of people were desperate to see family so don’t shoot me please. I completely agree with the sentiment of like fish, after 3 days house guests go off.... and this is from someone who likes to entertain and host and cook

I've just eaten half a round of French soft cheese. Not even feeling slightly guilty.

I’ve never never had an orgasm. I’m 40, married, been in good few ltrs. I’ve faked it all along. Not with DH, not alone, never.

I also loved Christmas this year... didn't have to pick up drop off, or panda to anyone what a joy! 😃 and drink some very nice wine all to myself
Kids also loved it as I actually got to play with them

On the positive side I have discussed recently with GP, and have a referral for further investigation.

On Zoom meetings I stare hard and longingly, right into the chaps eyes on the right hand side of the screen and imagine myself snuggling into his naked chest....

Meanwhile my live-apart partner who is simultaneously on the left hand side of the screen sits there looking puzzled. (Has also commented that I look more sparkly with shiny hair and lipgloss of late...)

I would cheat on my OH in a heartbeat, with a married friend who is champing at the bit (and whose spouse is aware of this). Only COVID is stopping us.

I don't bother to brush my teeth if I know I'm going to be wearing a mask.

I don’t put in my dentures if I know I’m going to be wearing a mask - they stay in their little pot at home. It’s only a problem if I unexpectedly need to speak to anyone and can’t pronounce ‘th’ or ‘s’ sounds.

BIL came over today and once again I couldn't look him in the eye : he knows if I do I just can't help but think about fucking him senseless.

On Teams, you can call yourself. So you'll appear 'in a call'

Just saying
