I have come to the conclusion that I am the luckiest person in the world - I am healthy, fit and not obese, have a good education, a nice job, 2 well behaved, kind, clever, healthy daughters , a lovely husband and a well trained dog who does not jump up on people or bark incessantly.

these things just "happen" on mumsnet - they are a combination of genetics and luck..... I have obviously NEVER put ANY work into ANY of the above.... I am lucky......

well, I'm taking responsibility for my lucky-ducky-self and refusing to tie myself in knots over it any more.... there I go again.... preventing an ulcer.... or is it pure luck that I don't have one......

bye bye, thank you all for letting me know that I've wasted my life away trying so hard to get things the way I want them - my world would have been the same if I had done NOTHING..... since I am lucky you know.....

Good lord how terrible for you...

And how lovely for you that life hasn't shown you how random and out of control it can be. I envy you your flounce. Enjoy it, and I hope your life remains so blessed and you never get to feel how it is when life just lays you flat. And you are cocooned by your false belief that with intelligence, foresight, savings, insurance, you are protected against everything life throws at you, and you can distance yourself from The Others, after all, they only have themselves to blame right? .

Linskibinski · 12/06/2014 22:33

I would love to flounce but I never have too scared that no one would notice and I'd be, "all by myself, don't wanna be all by myself ANYMOOOOORE" massive drum solo Grin

BerylStreep · 12/06/2014 22:37

What a bizarre thread!

Only reading Maryz summary of the spat, and I am a bit Confused.

I confess to also being one of the hand washing brigade, and I am absolutely certain it helps to reduce colds, flu, D&V etc. Not to say for a second that those who are experiencing it are somehow less concerned with hygiene.

Of course this doesn't translate into preventing serious life -threatening illnesses.

Still Confused

Ahahahaha @ Pagwatch

Beryl, I hate to rain on your parade, but we're a bit slack on the old handwashing in this house. (Not, like, filthy- just 'relaxed') but we don't have much in the way of illnesses and bugs. My DCs rarely have to have time off school. I had flu once when I was a child, and have never had a D&V bug. I can't remember when I last had a cold- maybe 10 years ago. In our case, I think we have luck and genetics to thank.
