Why are some Mumsnetters so unkempt?

[Bluestocking]

If you've all got time to sit around tapping on your keyboards all evening, you could at least pop on the Slendertone pads and give your muffin tops a good old wobble, and give yourselves a facepack too. Just an idea, girls, we don't want our menfolk to think that just because we're mothers that we've let ourselves go, do we?

Those Armenian Mumsnetters are always smart aren't they?

omg I didn't know you could SEE me

Speak for yourself Rhubarb

I am so kempt I could be described as fragrant. Like that lunatic wife of Jeffrey Archer.

Or maybe soignee is the word. For me at any rate.

Are you sprouting all over the place?

That is why MN doesn't have a webcam facilities surely - so I can be unkempt whilst MNetting!

how very very dare you

Speak for youself.

Oh sod you if you can't take me as I am you ain't no friend of mine

here i am , awaiting jeeves , to bringeth me my laptop in ye olde orchard

I see you don't use oil of ulay Lulumama

no, i thought the parasol would shield me from harmful UV rays

I am very smart today, not changed out of work clothes, so might pong a bit but otherwise I look as smart as a sucked smartie!

here's a photo of me

Speak for yourself

I think my legs look better, wabbit.

My pics on my profile are evidence of my smart family all looking very smart in their smart clothes wearing their smart faces!

but how would you know that we are unkempt (if indeed we are as surely 'unkempt' is a matter of opinion?).

Sodding webcams!

For the avoidance of doubt, Quattro is not unkempt.

Bluestocking I quite agree - it's so good to hear from another mumsnetter who understands the importance of personal grooming so that one can look one's best for one's DH or DP.

I for one have learnt how to type with my feet so that I can mumsnet while filing my nails and applying a French manicure.

There are side-effects - unfortunately the "f" key on my keyboard is a trifle sticky at present due to a spot of misplaced wax while epilating my bikini line, but at least it helps stop those drunken swearathons popping out after my 15th G&T.

Ohh, I have only just figured out the provenance of this thread

Who dear? me dear? unkempt dear? no dear.....my lady garden is pruned to perfection.

I am not unkempt. I prefer to think of myself as slovenly.

Guilty as charged

Lapin WHAT did you google to get that photo?

I am so unkempt atm I have one nork out as i've just finished feeding ds2, I have tissues stuck up my nose to stop it running as I have a rotten cold,I'm wearing an old levis t shirt which has dripped melon down the front and old scraggy jeans on because they are the only ones that fit my post pregnancy arse. Oh yeah and I don't think my ahir has seen a brush in a few days.
