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?

I've had a shit day, but this thread has provided a glimmer of joy.

Might just bleach my skirtings tomorrow OP.

Used a toilet brush?
Had a wee in the shower?
Taken yourself to A&E without asking anyone if they think you should go? And then when you gel 147 replies saying "A&E now" still argue the fact that you're wasting their time and don't really need to go?
