Over 50's

Hi Ladies

Could we have an "over 50's" category?

I am seriously becoming more and more shocked and upset with AIBU/Chat. The amount of "scoffing" and nastiness on mumsnet is very unpleasant.

Don't be sad, Honey - I'm sure you'll get there if you hang out here long enough.

I have just had my 49th birthday and am now apparently in a category called 'rising 50' Shock. Can I please claim my Parker pen?

Ooh thanks Maryz. That'll be just the job for doing the crosswords in The Oldie Wink

Honeydragon · 14/02/2015 22:02

But I'm already in there Shock I've just found out I'm not the right sort.

Um... We're a bit lost here. Right. Hands up who wants a 'Naice' Cupboard with blankets and cuppas and no swearing? . Hands up who wants a Bitter Old Hags corner with fags and booze and swears?... I said HANDS only Maryz. We don't want gestures like that round here...

Sparklingbrook · 15/02/2015 11:32

Ooh a 'naice cupboard' sounds right up my street. i can sit in it on my own drinking tea. Smile

magimedi · 15/02/2015 11:53

I'll go for bitter old hags, thanks.

PacificDogwood · 15/02/2015 11:56

Could we have one of each please?

And how about a 'nice, middle-aged hag with occasional bitterness but regular sarkiness and fond of swearing as she does not swear in RL' topic?

Sparklingbrook · 15/02/2015 12:13

there will be a stringent vetting procedure before anyone is allowed in my cupboard with me, that's for sure.

usualsuspect333 · 15/02/2015 12:18

Sometimes I'd like a niace cupboard so I can sit in my slanket and drink tea. But on the other hand I'd need to break out on occasion to do the swearing ,smoking and boozing thing.

Nanny0gg · 15/02/2015 12:54

Naice? Naice?

Remember, I've already broken one forum....

You can share my big slipper, Coco.

KneesOfTheBee · 15/02/2015 13:52

I think we might need 3 new hidey holes...

  1. Naice cupboard
  2. Bitter Old Hags Corner
  3. Home for the Bewildered
