to still feel a tiny bit hacked off that I was found lacking by a certain "rival" website?

I have my suspicions what the reasons were for my rejection but won't go into them because I don't want to disclose who I am.

And yes I do know for a fact that I was vetoed, not "accidentally left out".

Maybe he is too scared to come on here Ronaldinhio. I think I quite like the idea that GB is to shit scared to come on MN!

More proof, if we needed it, that Gordon Brown is a spineless twat. We all know everyone on Netmums will be all lovey dovey with him. He would need years of therapy after we had finished with him.

Marthasmama · 31/03/2009 22:06

Oh dear no controlfreaky for I am far to new to look directly at a Moldie, I'd have to seek an audience first.

MrsMattie · 31/03/2009 22:07

Cod once lambasted me for wearing lipliner. It was like being savaged by a rotweiler. I threw my liner away immediately afterwards. I felt...dirty. I still feel the urge to line my lips in a nice nude Rimmel pencil now and then but when I recall Cod's utter horror I am forced to go for a nice sheer lip stain instead...

I bet she's a right old Trinny-Tranny-Gok-Wan to the 'Moldies'. They're probably all sitting behind their computers in Boden's 'must have' shift dress and brightly coloured Spring macs.

Oh. Maybe I am a bit jealous, then.

controlfreakythecontrolfreak · 31/03/2009 22:07

god no. just shout at them loudly and swear.... they'll respect you for it.

TheCrackFox · 31/03/2009 22:08

I am number 78225. I am practically brand new. Makes me feel all young again.

controlfreakythecontrolfreak · 31/03/2009 22:08

Ronaldinhio · 31/03/2009 22:08

I'd like a troll under a bridge emoticon, a brick to the head emoticon and a so bored I'm in a coma emoticon

MrsMattie · 31/03/2009 22:08

PMSL!@Gordon brown on NM.

Can we have Obama, then, please?

morningpaper · 31/03/2009 22:09

controlfreakythecontrolfreak · 31/03/2009 22:09

Marthasmama · 31/03/2009 22:09

I'm number 147005 - see so new I've still got that waxy baby stuff on me!

FairLadyRantALot · 31/03/2009 22:09

MrsM...aren't you ....you are letting yourslef down....I would expect no less but for all mn'ers to wear onl the newest look ...am I deluded?

btw...I always thought that lip liner (in the same colour as the lipstick) is meant to help keep lippy in place and helps to even out uneven lips....that is where I went wrong, I suppose...I know nothing...

But how could anyone dispense fashion advice, with no sense of irony, clothed head-to-toe in Boden? I mean HOW?

muggglewump · 31/03/2009 22:10

The wedges were the last straw.
I had glossed over the recipe for stew using a tin of, er, stew, and the argument for always using free range eggs because they have less poo on them

Oh and the climbing up slides thread was hilarious!

I must look it up.

JudithChalmers · 31/03/2009 22:11

?
head to toe boden?!

controlfreakythecontrolfreak · 31/03/2009 22:11

oh it's you mp. please dont go inciting me to more violence... i feel grubby after all that needless talk of strap ons. you should be ashamed of yourself young lady.

lou33 · 31/03/2009 22:11

can someone explain to me why cod was meant to be the style guru?

or why anyone listened?

MrsMattie · 31/03/2009 22:11

Yes, but we are all out of smelling salts, so the bustles and whalebone corsets will have to stay in the wardrobe for now. So impractical for the school run, too. Takes the house girl far too long to help me into them, you see.

FairLadyRantALot · 31/03/2009 22:11

Eggs....poo....boak...if I thoguht that I think I would avoid eggs altogether, lol...

TheCrackFox · 31/03/2009 22:12

You have a point their Quattro, Boden is dire.

Wonder what sort of questions Netmums has lined up for old Gordy?

Marthasmama · 31/03/2009 22:12

What the fuck are summer cushions you leathery old handbag faced fool?

Like that?

morningpaper · 31/03/2009 22:12

hmm but I didn't feel the need to bring strap-on chat to ANOTHER THREAD did I?

Can you even TYPE "strap-on" on Netmums? Does it change it to something wholesome, like "Ian Duncan Smith!"
