juneybean · 31/12/2009 19:09

YANBU! I'm bloody sick of them rofl

FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010 · 31/12/2009 19:09

I don't even know where my phone is.

paulaplumpbottom · 31/12/2009 19:19

Actually my ds deleted my contact list the other day so for the first time I am glad of them

QandA · 31/12/2009 19:21

I don't mind the ones that are actually written and sent by my friends, but the network chain texts are just annoying.

satc2bringiton · 31/12/2009 19:24

Yeah 2 of mine are those crappy chain things.

YANBU.I really hate them,and merry christmas ones aswell.Have you noticed they're never from your close mates just ones you don't see often.

GenieoftheTramp · 31/12/2009 20:05

Just had my first one:

When the clock strikes 12 with the midnight bell
I'm not going 2 join the texting hell
So here's my message 2 those I hold dear
Have a gr8 nite and Happy New Year!

What a load of shite. And that was from a very close friend but she does have a lot of people on her texting list

Oh Christ someone else has just sent me the same one! It's going to be a looooooong night...

Buddleja · 31/12/2009 20:16

Oh yeah and the way you get a million of the same too - I've already got that one about the networks being jammed. And more sadly someone put it in their facebook status

Load of pish posh

curiositykilledhaskittens · 31/12/2009 20:20

yep, total humbug. I don't why people send them when they know I am humbug and they sent loads at christmas which I didn't reply to or appreciate...

MrsSawdust · 31/12/2009 20:35

Ooh I've just had that terrible rhyming one genie. Very annoying! I don't mind personalised ones but these crappy generic sent-to-everyone-in-my-contacts ones are shite.

fattybumbum · 31/12/2009 20:36

Genie, just had that one from Belfast myself. Must be doing the rounds all over the UK!

GenieoftheTramp · 31/12/2009 20:43

Mine have been from Devon and Berkshire. Anyone else?

cheesesarnie · 31/12/2009 20:49

think yourself lucky moaners!!!

everyone i know is too busy partying to text.

AboardtheAxiom · 31/12/2009 20:53

I don't mind them in their correct context, I did go at having the 'ones I hold dear' text off a mum from school I dislike.

twinklytoes · 31/12/2009 20:59

2010 is at the door...Remember, life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss lips slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.

this is the third round robin tonight, phones going off now.

BigBadMummy · 31/12/2009 21:44

I had one about wanting to "snuggle in my inbox" until midnight from our cleaning lady!!!!

I feel slightly nauseous!!

cocolepew · 31/12/2009 21:47

I had the same as genie's this morning at 10.30. sigh. Tesco sent me one reminding me to send them earlier to 'avoid the rush'.

snowedinwithJjandtheBean · 31/12/2009 21:48

ive had the same one as Genie 11 times, then i threw my phone to dd and told her to knock herself out teething on it, no idea where it is now, but its quiet!

IMO new year is an excuse for a piss up, as a non drinker, just because i dont actually like the taste, i have a duvet a chinese and my laptop while dp is curled up beside me watching his shite on tv!

islandofsodor · 31/12/2009 21:53

My phone has been out of charge for several days now!

smokinaces · 31/12/2009 21:55

I hate them with a passion!!

I hate the ones I got at lunchtime saying "in case i forget later"

I hate the chain ones - "before the network dies" "heres to all my gals" "heres a heart for the new year" blah blah

I have had 1 lovely text from an old friend who I havent seen for a long time, which was personalised and lovely. The only one I replied to. Bah humbug me.

MiladyDeWinter · 31/12/2009 22:01

Total bolloxing waste of time and money YANBU.

hppy nw yr netmumz hunz

catsdontscreetch · 31/12/2009 22:05

Great my phone's just buzzed, now I daren't look.

therednosedcariboo · 31/12/2009 22:06

totally agree though wouldn't have even a few hours ago. no point in turning off cos will just have to face them in the morning.

DidEinsteinsMum · 31/12/2009 22:23

this is when i am so that that i am crap about turning on my phone. to the point where nobody ever bothers to text me anything (expect ex re ds and mum) but as mum is downstairs entertaining her friends and spoken to ex earlier when he rang to speak to ds, i'm hoping tonight will be quiet on the phone front at least
