I did the most Mumsnetty thing I've ever done today. Guess what it was?

Today I did probably the most Mumsnetty thing I've ever done. Am the first to admit that when I read about it on Mumsnet I was deeply skeptical, but after today I'm converted. Go on, guess what it was?

Laughed so loud you woke the baby up?

Fired your house manager?

Stole your best friend’s baby name?

BiscuitLover3678 · 19/12/2021 21:56

Said 'this' an pointed your fingers upwards when a friend said something like approved of.

Which we all know is Balonz.

TwistedOlivers · 19/12/2021 21:58

Asked us what name we prefer? Raddichio or Laburnam?

I could not keep a poo knife in the house, it would have to be something disposable I think.

Watch your MIL tickle your topless husband (I could go on for days).

@MagnoliaPaintedWalls

With thanks to all for this short lived (hopefully, but you never know with a Mumsnet thread let's face it) but glorious thread. Today, Mumsnetters, I bleached my skirting boards. And I cannot tell you what a game changer it was. They were filthy! And now they sparkle like freshly laid Christmas snow. They, and this thread, have made me a very happy Mumsnetter. Grin
I expect you to wash your clothes rail in your wardrobe too ! 😁

Wondered if all the Mums at Playgroup had real or fake Chanel bags?

GuiltyPleasure · 19/12/2021 22:00

I thought you'd committed the heinous crime of drinking more than a thimble full of alcohol this year

thatsallineed · 19/12/2021 22:00

Must confess I'm a bit disappointed at the skirting boards. I had been hoping you'd cheerfully declined a wedding invitation without a second's thought.

picklemewalnuts · 19/12/2021 22:01

Neat bleach or dilute? I need to know. NEED to!

DirtyDancing · 19/12/2021 22:03

OP isn't there a risk you'll end up with bleach on the carpet as well Hmm

1WeekTillChristmas · 19/12/2021 22:06

For some bizarre reason i really thought you was going to say ‘Iv bleached my…. Bum hole

I have no idea why i thought you were going to say that

HG Mould Spray. Purchased after reading how good it is on this very site! And it is pretty good. I actually used a micro-fibre re-usable nappy liner to apply it with (no longer in use near any baby's bums, I should add!), which, on reflection, is probably even more Mumsnetty than bleaching my skirting boards in the first place.

Got your ducks in a row?

Named your son Balonz?

Noodlewave · 19/12/2021 22:09

Did you do you?

Probably this stuff would work for that but I bet it would sting. Don't try this at home Mumsnetters! Xmas Wink

My mumsnetty thing today was cutting my own hair or the first time. I took a good 10 inches off. It looks and feels much, much better and I'd definitely do it again.

FurForksSake · 19/12/2021 22:13

Told someone that No is a complete sentence?

Verbally attacked someone for asking for advice?

SylvanianFrenemies · 19/12/2021 22:15

Complained about people saying "Santa" or celebrating Halloween?
Referred to Ireland as "Southern Ireland"?
Used "do you mean to be so rude?" with the expectation that it would be regarded as a withering putdown worthy of Oscar Wilde?
