...to expect you Professional MNers to...

[5goldrings4MONKEYBIRDs]

....bloody enlighten us Newbies about the Hidden Depths A LITTLE EARLIER so I don't have to:

a. assess what the minimum time is to cuddle my two youngest to sleep so I can get back on to catch up on 41 fecking pages of Middle Class Bore, 8 million pages of Don't Do This and I haven't even found Jon Ronson's Missus yet. Can we have a very special mini-digest of Essential MN classics please otherwise DH will be calling social services soon...?

b. burn my bacon and smoke out my kitchen, and put a whole in my bread trying to butter it too quickly?

c. get butter all over my keyboard?

My own fault I know for not looking beyond Breast and bottle for 2 months but FFS you coulda pointed me in the right direction? Where do I fecking start?

Great post, Hunker...

i missed the mentor thing. Must have been school hols for most of us

I'm up for having a lackey in the new year

they can pick stuff up that I have dropped and bring me mangoes and things

wahey!

Well MonkeyBird, did you know that you can get an MN ASBO?

what for? have I got one already? probably

MB i didnt realise you were a newbie too... I think its one of these places, like back water villages where you have to have been there for generations before you are not a newbie...

I just bumble onto many a thread, boringly ( for all concerned) complaining about my back pain, DH's job and the small girl who I think still lives here, somewhere, and occupies any of the time left in the day that is not taken up with reading MN... i shouldnt do any of the above, i'm not very good at it, oh, and I smile ALOT... in the vague hope it endears me to some...

see?

now as for the last 15 mins.. i must try that. I always do the thread's i'm on, followed by active convos... so far, its been a good MO...maybe a change is in order, you know, broaden my horizons a bit? what do you think?

wow!! loving the 'last 15 minutes' thing...

Yup!! There I am...
