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?

@bellabelly

I can't sleep and reading this thread has made me smile. I was hoping that you might have found an elderly Korean lady in your garden.
and then been asked why her nationality was of any significance or her sex to that matter and are you always such a sexist with your internalised misogyny ?

@IamGusFring

Is " skirting boards a euphemism for something else *@MagnoliaPaintedWalls* ?

Is this really some kind of intimate hygiene thing for Christmas ? 😂

Bleaching a butt hole...

Making it sparkly for Santa's visit on Xmas Eve..

And we sing..

"I can't wait for Christmas to see what Santa brings for mum,
Cause I heard him promise her anything at all if she'll take it up the ..."

Bleached skirting boards? Is that it?
I thought you was going to be fuming with your MIL!

Wrote a convoluted and overly verbose text/email instead of telling someone to piss off.

Spent some time being livid.

Start up your own off shoot of Mumsnet, and only invite your friends?

@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
OMG!! I did this some years ago and was shocked what a difference it made ... they need doing again, but I've become fat and lazy
