Name changed for obvious reasons - ie avoidance of cyber bullies whilst expressing my true feelings on this. I was a lurker for quite a while, summed up the courage to post thinking that I had some good things to share and could be of help where appropriate. I think some of the threads are genuinely helpful and a great idea. However, I feel that some of them - probably this one included - is really a complete waste of time and energy. It seems to me that there are an awful lot of MNers who have nothing better to do than spend hours typing endless crap on these threads. Don't you have any "real life" friends to talk to?? Wouldn't you be better spending your life in the real world rather than exchanging endless ridiculous tittle tattle with one another? What are your kids doing whilst you spend hours on the computer?? Or your partners? I'm off to get a life.... why don't you??

It's inane chat, don't you ever do that. Talk about shit because you are bored? Or are you one of those people who never does anything just for the sake of it?

bellavita · 19/06/2008 15:37

Well hide those threads then if you don't want to read them!

Well I am off work poorly although fortunately on the mend. Unfortunately for me, DS and DD are both also off school/nursery because they were both sick once on Tuesday and there is this 48 hour rule. So I am currently having a break from entertaining two healthy, cooped up children while feeling a bit rubbishy myself. Have already made junk models of sleeping beauty's castle and an electro sword and some biscuits. I could have probably dragged myself back into work if it weren't for the DC but would still have been taking a break on MN.

i would have something better to do if that Lelo Lily vibrator wasnt so crap

JacobsPrincess · 19/06/2008 15:38

I should be doing the washing up...

forgiveANDforget · 19/06/2008 15:38

Scottishmummy - no idea who you are and frankly don't care. What the hell are you going on about? Who made this a thread entitled "Am I unreasonable to think that ScottishMummy is self-opinionated, self centred person who thinks that everything written is a direct criticism of them?"

bellavita · 19/06/2008 15:39

bozza · 19/06/2008 15:39

ScottishMummy · 19/06/2008 15:39

zippitippitoes · 19/06/2008 15:39

no idea why you changed your name tho

why not have a go as your normal name?

forgiveANDforget · 19/06/2008 15:40

why Zippi, what will you do if you know my "real" identity!??

OP posts:
Rhubarb · 19/06/2008 15:40

so are you bored then?

Let's all be bored together then! Now what shall we discuss? How about hairs that you get on your nipples - pluck them or not?

forgiveANDforget · 19/06/2008 15:42

Actually I'm not bored now - this is quite fun... but nonetheless pointless.

ScottishMummy · 19/06/2008 15:42

forgiveANDforget so did someone skelp yer arse on MN and now you are in a big ole huff

CountessDracula · 19/06/2008 15:42

pmsl @ the direct criticism comment
you couldn't have been much more directly critical of all mumsnetters now could you???

Rhubarb · 19/06/2008 15:42

Like my life really. Sigh.

Fennel · 19/06/2008 15:43

I agree it's 90% boring fluff and 10% pure gold. I stay here for the 10%. Have used mumsnet to make new friends when moving to a new area. To make work contacts. I have even got a job through it (one which insisted on "knowledge of social networking sites and discussion boards" as an essential requirement )

zippitippitoes · 19/06/2008 15:43

nothing but i cant understand why you nhave changed name to post this it puzzles me

forgiveANDforget · 19/06/2008 15:43

what does skelp mean? I presume it means did someone have a go at me? No, nothing like that...
