A Zombie thread for Christmas!!

Is this a new festive thing?

PinguForPresident · 25/12/2015 10:55

It may be a zombie thread, but I absolutely agree. Why the very fuck do you need to precede each reference to a family member with "darling". So very twee. I'm quite happy to type out the extra few letters to say husband or child

LumelaMme · 25/12/2015 12:56

FWIW, I have other things to worry about Xmas Grin

Me too. I always refer to my husband, son, mother , brother. I do use "sil" and "mil" occasionally.

Started in2010, revived in 2014 and revived again in 2015. Do you think we'll get to see it again next Christmas?

Ineedtimeoff · 25/12/2015 13:59

Ha! This was my first post on mumsnet many years ago. I got my ass handed to me on a plate! Almost 6 years later and after several name changes, last I've got use to the Acronyms. I had no idea it was revived in 2014. strange to see it revived again in 2015.

Merry Christmas everyone Wine all round and Christmas cheer Xmas Wink

INTO, were you really the very dull-named OP? Well done for owning up in that case.

Sparklingbrook · 25/12/2015 14:07

Ineedtimeoff · 25/12/2015 14:07

Yes, I was that very dull named OP (still am).
Not quite sure why anyone would want to revive the thread. It was dull too!

OddSocksHighHeels · 25/12/2015 14:19

Not only once but twice ineed I wonder if you get some kind of Star for starting such a thread?

BatsUpMyNightie · 25/12/2015 14:41

I saw DDog the other day. If you want ridiculous it doesn't come any fucking dumber than that!
