tbh I think you could have called him (would not have made that much difference)...no biggie..I would have liked a call myself..how about you?..still perplexed about barbs

thumbwitch · 25/06/2010 23:57

were you posting from a phone or the laptop? I was curious to know whether it was predictive text that caused the 'dress barb"s' (although can't for the life of me work out what else it could have been!)

estuardo · 26/06/2010 00:02

thumbwitch will you believe me when I say I can't remember?

how odd... but Hecate- you are an utter genius with 'GPs, tramps and thieves'

thumbwitch · 26/06/2010 00:28

oh God yes - I have no problem believing that at all! Given the hour of the morning and the emotional draining, I'm impressed you managed to get in the right front door, tbh!

estuardo · 26/06/2010 00:36

aw thanks.
I do feel a twit

OMG this is the BEST laugh I have had in AGES.. I am literally shaking and crying with laughter here dh is sending me dirty looks but even he got that involved he was disapointed to not ge the barb comment sorted...

ahhhh BEST tread on MN Ive EVER read..

oh and OP I vote your dh has to come and explain the Barb comment CEARLY he knows...

Dollytwat · 26/06/2010 00:46

c'mon estuardo THINK what the Barb thing was about, it's in your sub conscious somewhere

good thread though - maybe posting at 4am is a good thing

thumbwitch · 26/06/2010 00:59

ha, I think you were nearly asleep when you typed it, actually - it was one of those instant limbo dream moments - my uni notes are littered with them! the most amusing one was in the middle of biochemistry, I suddenly started to tail off and wrote something about blue elephants (completely irrelevant to the topic)

marenmj · 26/06/2010 05:57

thumbwitch, at uni I used to work VERY early mornings and I recall once coming to - mid-conversation - while confidently telling a fellow to change the oil in his car to fix his worn tires.

My mother swears up and down she has had whole exchanges with me while I recall nothing. At one point when my schedule was its most hectic my parents were convinced I was having absent seizures and kept sending me in for brain scans and whatnot.

DH says I still talk nonsense in my sleep when I am under stress or over tired, and it has been many, many years since I was in uni .

I have not yet posted anything online, but I fear that will be the next step.

Quality · 26/06/2010 07:27

I talk in my sleep, once answered the phone in my shared house in my sleep thinking I was still at the taxi firm and alledgedly had a row with my flatmate's mum. She was most amused, thankfully.

How has your DH been since then?

Headbanger · 26/06/2010 07:33

YES BUT WHAT ABOUT BARB?!?!?!?!?!?

Ahem. Thanks for coming back OP...

HalfTermHero · 26/06/2010 08:17

Wonderful that you have come back and explained! I know you can't remember what device you used to post but do you have an iphone? That would explain the randon Barb ref as just a copy and paste error?

I agree with the others, I think that your husband was annoyed that you had stayed out so late. In the morning he realised that he had been selfish and apologised. Had you had alcohol at Hank's house? That would go a long way towards explaining the forgotten post! Plus also further explains why dh was fed up when you came in (he thought you had been living it up next door whilst he was stuck at home?).

HecateQueenOfWitches · 26/06/2010 10:29

hi there, estuardo Well, look on the bright side - you have been propelled into the mumsnet Hall Of Fame. Everyone now knows you

Agree that your husband probably spat his dummy out that you were so late. It's not always easy to contact them in such situations. You can't exactly say, hang on a minute, stop right there in the middle of telling me how you want to kill yourself, I just need to phone my husband to apologise for taking so long with you.

Is he a jealous man? Could he have thought something else was going on?

However, if you went out to tend to a friend, professionally, and he was sitting up waiting because he was worried about this friend and needed to know he was ok and you came back pissed, then you probably deserved a bit of attitude

HecateQueenOfWitches · 26/06/2010 10:33

In fact, I think we should nominate this thread for Mumsnet Classics

WickedWitchSouthWest · 26/06/2010 10:41

Funniest thread in an AGE! Deffo a Classic.

I'm slightly concerned that we might have given my subconscious some ideas here though, I already sleep walk and talk so surely sleep-mn'ing is the next step?!

MathsMadMummy · 26/06/2010 10:51

just marking place in case there's any new revelations!

not sure what else to say really

mistressploppy · 26/06/2010 13:44

Hope Hank is ok though

estuardo · 28/06/2010 22:53

I had a very long chat with Hank today while both our kids were at a swimming gala.
He sends his love to you all.

I am worried about Barb, tho

I have to admire your (claimed) unconscious use of the ` symbol.

KickButtowski · 29/06/2010 09:54

Estuardo, with your choice of the names Hank and Lucile you are really spoiling us.

If this continues please could you refer to your stroppy dh as Big Wayne and yourself as Crystal now on too just to keep the whole Cher / travelling GP / country theme alive in our hearts?

rubbersoul · 29/06/2010 18:12

Just laughed my bum off reading this thread. Genius

JaMmRocks · 29/06/2010 18:21

I'm confused - how could you have posted all that if you didn't get in until 4am? It was done at 3.12

Jux · 29/06/2010 22:22

Ah, don't ask her, she can't remember. You have to come up with a theory.
