Forgive me mumsnet, for I have sinned...

[AlternativelyWired]

Lighthearted!

My sin: I went to a Wetherspoons whilst on holiday in England. Not once, but twice The food was great and I have 3 children with very restricted tastes in food. I'm the same so the menu suited us all. I feel bad about going there knowing the mumsnet consensus on the guy who runs Wetherspoons but it met our needs. I am a Catholic and feel like I need to say a few Hail Marys as a result.

What are your mumsnet sins?

Oh you can’t beat a spoons breakfast!

My sin is my dog isn’t a rescue and is deemed a showy designer breed who will have lifelong health problems by MN.

I also enjoy going to Spoons, the food is cheap and reliable. One of my DS's once called it the restaurant of the Gods, which did make me pause for a moment and wonder what I was doing to my kids, but then I just laughed.

I leave my washing out until it dries, no matter how long that may take.

I wear shoes in the house, and sometimes, gasp, I put them on the sofa.

I have toilet brushes.

My dogs sleep under the duvet in our bed.

I don't care if my house smells of dog, it's really not the insult that some people seem to think it is (hint: I can't smell it).

I didn't just like my MIL, I loved her.

I talk to strangers.

I wash towels only when they start to smell.

I get on with my neighbours.

I do people favours with no expectations.

I give my friends the benefit of the doubt. As in, I assume good intentions even when they do something which, on the surface, is a bit shit.

I've just hung my knickers on the washing line. If people peek through the fence they will see them 😂. Even worse, I have no shame about my clean knickers being seen in public.

I vote Conservative, & voted for Brexit. I don't drive. I can't stand leggings & skinny jeans, Joules or Boden. I smoke - cigarettes - outside, banished by ASD youngest! I don't drink. No, not even wine. Previous ex put me right off. I dislike tattoos.I don't tend to fall out with people & get on with my neighbours! I don't understand why people want designer dogs. I hate hot tubs. I cba cooking chicken, even if it lasted for a year. I don't fall out with my kids & we are always falling about laughing! The sheets get washed when they get washed, it's not like it's in my diary or anything.. I dislike anything on TV apart from documentaries. I believe in woo. (Wait for the CONTROVERSY!!) Other than that, I'm very tolerant & can't understand MN's pure ANGER at other folks' POV.
I think I'm too old or lazy for anger. :-)

@Usou they have very reliable hotels!
Accessibility would be a nightmare- they are in those old fashioned buildings with multiple staircases and corridors, and uneven floors that make me feel drunk in the middle of the night.
They can be a bit noisy if you are there on a Friday/Saturday night and are above the outdoor terrace.
Parking has to be found elsewhere.

But they are clean, characterful (in comparison with travel lodge) and have good bathrooms! And cheap. Reliable. Comfortable. We've never stayed in one we wouldn't go back to!

Ooh, some of these are really nice - I was worried it was going to be one of the hideous ‘confess your unpopular beliefs threads’.

Also love a Wetherspoons and often meet up with DP for lunch at our local one as you can guarantee good service and nice food all done and dusted within the hour.

My main confession though is I like the clothes at Sea Salt, White Stuff etc.

And I quite enjoyed the lockdowns.

Mine was last week but we turned up at a friend’s house unannounced! Can you imagine!! No appointment made weeks years ago. We had a jolly nice time too.

@Rosiethecat15 the kids are adults, so not quite the way it was made to sound

I allowed my family of four adults to consume a whole chicken between them for Sunday lunch.

That's 14 meals short of what it should serve.

Now that's a sin

Just sang that Pet Shop Boys song

As my mum would've said, you're a bit flighty!

😂

Yep! Not tried one yet but hope too soon!

I was brought up a Catholic so know where u are coming from
I have A levels in guilt!!
Nothing wrong with Wetherspoons
ignore the inverted snobbery of some people.
Each year I stay for three nights at the Ritz hotel in London.
So I guess I. An do the Ritz and the Pits!

OMG I would LOVE to stay in the Ritz every year!!

What a fantastic idea.

I:
Eat in Spoons, but do hate a sticky table or carpet.
Make only 2 meals from a chicken.
Got on very well with my MIL (r.i.p).
Was almost a SAHM - I worked one whole day a week for 10 years.
Use my towels more than once (unless they smell).
Never been in Boden.
Only Toast I'm familiar with is under me beanz.
Wish my house still smelt of dog.

But my worst crime is that I have 2 GREY LEATHER sofas - 😱 shoot me now!

Most the time I do the evening washing up the next day

I love my MIL and DSC and have great relationships with them all.
Can never make a whole chicken last for more than two meals at most. Just how?!? Never knowingly made a massive salad. Would rather stick pins in my eyes than do ‘picky bits’.
Never had a parking dispute with neighbours, or seen one happen here, even though it’s on-street parking. Neighbours here all seem sensible, nice, normal people.
We have toilet brushes in our bathrooms (but don’t use them)

I meant I can do the Ritz and I can do the pits!
Spoons is ok not the pits

I'm a stoner.
I own a loo brush.
I am looking to employ a cleaner.
I'm glad I only have one child (grown up now)
I don't have CF friends or a cock lodger 👍

But did they complain about how annoying it was once you left and were out of earshot?🤔😁

I actually don’t know why I am on mumsnet! I think I am the anti-mumsnet. But I don’t care! It’s an adventure into how the other half live 🤣

Does drinking alcohol come into that too???

I vape

I'm afraid I large chicken only feeds me, 2 DC and I pick bits of meat off for my 2 cats. Sorry.

I live off ready meals

I have have step kids and I love them

I am far too fat

The only reason my sheets get changed more than twice a year is because I have a cleaner
