Slatterns sorting themselves out, sort of.

[ComeWhineWithMe]

A new thread taking us slatterns into March.
Feel free to join and add your lists just don't show us up by always completing them !

Yeap she did so I didn't feel so bad, but I was still alittle offended at my rebuff

and a little annoyed at myself for being offended as afterall I don't know the person so who cares

Were they rude to you PBM? I would be offended if they were rude! Like I say though, perhaps they just don't see themselves as hard-line slatterns like us

The reply was Oh no don't want to be like this everyday

JKS and I were not sure wiether it was sarcastic or not, so I'll leave it to FAQ

ooo - where was that???

I'm thinking of doing the next thread title with slatterns (those that make list of "things to do today) blah blah blah in the title - to make it clear that we're not all that slatternly lol

De-Nigh-Al

(seen finding nemo? otherwise that won't make sense!)

Perhaps we should ask to be allowed those picture thingys just for this thread? Then we could all have little pictures of our beautiful homes all clean and sparkly for when nosey parkers judgers others want to to drop by? (also it would help to motivate us no?)

You mean signatures??? there would be uproar!!

Actually bad kitten came too so I didn't do too bad a job

I know, I recall them being asked for years ago and all hell broke loose!

I had to go and search to find out what on earth they were as I had never (and still have never) used another forum. Of course I quickly saw what they meant and returned to my true home

Oh - how about tickers? XX days since I last washed the windows - now that could be fun

pmsl King - think of all the different ones we could have, lots of fun!!

have actually posted on another forum that does have tickers & signatures and i like them and hate them at the same time.
i like seeing them and having them myself but hate how they take up half the page, so a quick oneliner post takes ages to scroll past.

weight loss tickers are great though and i think would improve the weightloss threads so people didn't have to keep posting lists.
and AN threads, so you know how many weeks people are without asking.

but then you get people with 5+ tickers and it goes mad!

Funny you should say that, but how often does everyone wash their windows, (if they don't have a window cleaner)

I could see a kind of competative slobishness developing though - you may not have cleaned the windows for XX days but I have not cleaned the car for XX years (probably with a tounge out emoticon!)

TBH, I just think they look messy and people seem to be prone to boasting on them which irritates me - it has the same feel as Facebook IYSWIM.

But, if they could be restricted to fun and interesting only posters then maybe ....!

if not for a window cleaner, um, never? would maybe aim the jetwash thing at some of them when cleaning the patio, lol.

think she means the insides which = never too for me!
until the handprints get too much to see out of

oh crap ive broke mumsnet, it aint working anyoneelse

Back now, very broken for me for a moment!

PBM, please don't do that again

If you get no replies then that means MN is broken for everyone else too

(obviously it's back so I can reply to your message Plum!)

Ahh, so I am not actually killing threads, it is just MN breaking then? I feel much beter now I have an excuse a reason

I refuse to go on to facebook, and was abit reluctant about putting photos on here but, since I asked for opinions on my kitchen I needed to put the photos on

And also don't think that many mums can claim their ds thought he was burt Reynolds or Kris Kristoffoeson????? So that was for the slatterns amusement,but they shall be getting removed soon

I don't think it was me,I think it was you, you just didn't want to tell me you never clean your windows

I don't do photos either PBM, I do use facebook but only as a means of spying on my younger relatives who seem to have lots of fun

Yes, I came here from the things to do thread! Ignore the haters, that's what I say!

Maybe I'm not really a slattern I love cleaning windows

My neighbours used to see me hanging out my upstairs windows quite frequently, thankgod I live in bungalow now!
