I saw a woman in the Science Museum today, who really could only be described as having "let herself go"

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Grey streaky "hanging" hair, huge arse and fat tum in grey tracky bottoms, footglove shoes, shapeless burgundy tunic top and hanging tits. She really looked like she had given up on life. In contrast, she had three dear little, divinely trendily dressed girls with her. She had obviously put a lot of thought and effort into what they were going to wear (down to the very funky hat one of them was wearing) but hadn't even spent five minutes on herself.

Why?

have only read bits of thread but just so you know i might visit there on monday so looked out for me.i'll be the one that has no children but still looks a mess(im leaving them with their auntie)so say hello!

For future references, anyone not interested in wading through posts over 300 or so, please feel free to consult me for briefs. I have a talent for it!

Ta very muchly.

mhamai lol

Littlelapin, I'm more concerned that I read Summery bottom as opposed to summary button!

This is such a funny thread!!

LOL at X and sex!!!

How come she is on MN so much if she is this high flying person in the city??

oh as were all here, can I have some more help on the buggy threads (sobbing with frustration icon) as Ive lost the plot. TIA !!!! I need to repeat ; THE BUGGY I WANT DOES NOT EXIST THE BUGGY I WANT DOES NOT EXIST THE BUGGY I WANT DOES NOT EXIST THE BUGGY I WANT DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!

oops killed it

see Xenia , thats what I do when Im not parenting or working , I search for the ultimate buggy.

To me the OP didnt come across as bitchy more as curiosity regarding the paradox of an unkempt mother with trendy well groomed children.

Most of us are not as glamourous as pre-children, quite frankly we dont have the time.

My check list in the morning is make up on...children fed....all in clean clothes...fingers through my hair (as I go out the door)...book bags/lunch bags...PE bags

At the school gates I realise they have weetabix around their mouths and their hair is sticking up like a cockatiel's plume

Would I be bothered if I came on here and found someone posting to that effect...no....I would just laugh and say "yep im disorganised"

The more interesting issue leaving aside that of why some women are as dull as ditchwater and only interested in buggies, brands of soap powder and pretty dresses, God help us.... is the looks point. Why some people feel compelled to dress in a certain way that is regarded as the norm in England and others don't choose to.

i think oyu protest too much

Xenia "some women are as dull as ditchwater and only interested in buggies, brands of soap powder and pretty dresses"

Then again some are only interested in their careers and proving how much cleverer and important they are than other women.

Of course the most interesting women are those who fall somewhere in between.

Well, to be honest, I am most offended on this thread by the assumption that footgloves = 'letting yourself go" . I have several pairs and personally they are great for letting you get on with life - none of this pathetic teetering around on heels or wedges... instead I'm able to walk miles without blisters/ run after toddler/ break into a game of footie in the park...

God damn Xenia you forgot about the shoes.........waits hopefully for a witty riposte from Xenia but doesen't hold her breath.

I am genuinely interested in what your perfect buggy is. What is it?

Men like how I look. They couldn't care less about the pension crisis after they're done, either. There's no ride like this at Disneyland, baby!
