...........I cannot keep up.

active convos are whizzing ppast so quickly I am missing if someone comes on a thread I have started/replied on until ages after, and then I fear people think I am being rude if I don;t reply/respond.

MN is fab, really it is, but when I come here for some light relief/downtime/soothing-like-minded-chat, I want to feel as tho I am contributing to it, or even > being acknowledged as a decent member.

and on a friday, it all moves so damn fast, it feels as tho I am swimming (well, fighting more like) against the current.

Why don't you just set up your own corner and let everyone come to you?

Gis some wine, go on, you know you want to

BitOfFun · 22/05/2009 19:16

I may join you later if that's alright? I have a night in on my OWN (rare) so my arse will be welded to the sofa and a glass perma-fixed in one hand...

You know there's a thing called 'threads I'm on' that lists the, well, the threads you are on. You can look at that instead of Active if you feel that there's a lot going on, then only go back to Active if you want more.

ingles2 · 22/05/2009 19:20

yep, I'm here....
have vino, white and pink as it's sunny

KingCanuteIAm · 22/05/2009 19:21

TA is not allowed wine because she is being sensible... on second thoughts why not give her her own bottle of wine so she stops being sensible?

ingles2 · 22/05/2009 19:23

is she?
why Trillian? T'is Friday night, mumsnet, wine and chelsea FS on TV what more could you want?

Mintyy · 22/05/2009 19:24

Have been ruthless with Topics I can see (you know, when you customise and opt out of things like Ante-Natal and Camping, or whatever) and when I log on I look in Active Convos and hide all the threads I know I won't be interested in. I do wish Hide could be quicker. So that you could just go click click click click click and hide a whole bunch all at once.

Have brought along another couple of bottles (sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio blush anyone?) cos Psycho's bottle is gonna run out pdq I think.

BitOfFun · 22/05/2009 19:25

Mmmm, I am eating home-made ice cream that dd made with her icecream maker she got from her dad for her birthday...it is the most delicious I have ever tasted Strawberry, mmmm

TrillianAstra · 22/05/2009 19:26

Oooh, pink please!

Yep I am hiding stuff. Should hide more.

Right now am waiting to hear from my friend who may or may not be coming round this evening. So probably shouldn't start on real world wine til she gets here. Maybe.

TrinityIsLovingHerLittleRhino · 22/05/2009 19:26
