S&B is my happy place

[Swimminguphill]

Hi there, I was just thinking, as I go through my early morning ritual of scrolling down threads about terrible Monsoon skirts, what shoes go with this dress, best shampoos for a keratin treatment, is £1500 too much to spend on a bag etc etc that this really is my Tibetan Mountain Retreat in a sea of i-DO-NOT-want-my-toe-nails-clipped-he-won't-let-me-talk-let-your-brother-talk-there's-no-milk-left-500-emails-in-your-in-box-the-world-has-finally-gone-freaking-mad-i-forgot-my-best-friend's-birthdayness

So THANK YOU everyone. Don't stop what you are doing. You have made my day by just being here.

Ha! Same here!

My favourite part of mumsnet too, first thing I always check

Only handbags are controversial here!

There is nothing more soothing than scrolling down a set of red lipstick recommendations, or exploring the finer points of "looking expensive" I loves it

Me too! It's a lovely bit of escapism, much needed at the moment...

It's my happy place too. I tend to come here after checking the awfulness of my bank balance to cheer myself up. Although thinking about it, there may be some correlation between my live of S&B and said bank balance!
I love a good handbag thread and you guys never disappoint!

Ssshh Aderyn2016 we don't need to mention the bank balance do we? I am doing some tunic styling yoga right now...

I love it here too, even though you buggers constantly skint me.

I like it here too

Me too! waves

And me! 😊💄👜

Aw me too! I feel like it's a bit less active than a few years ago though? But yes, definite happy place with ever-helpful people.

Hear hear!! Love being a virtual stylist. So much better than my RL job.

Just wish more people would come back and say what they went for in the end.

Just wish I could find the ultimate pair of boyfriend jeans for a dumpy pear-shape but can't bring myself to start another thread on it

NewPants- I tried on some Gap girlfriend jeans yesterday. Impressed with the fit. I needed them in a longer length. Might be worth a look?

Thanks Bubbles. I must pull myself together and do proper jeans shopping. I find it so depressing but my shapeless Sainsbury faithfuls have now got thigh holes and the two potential replacements I picked up are hopeless. I'll give them a try.

Good luck with your search NewPants. Its a bloody mare finding something that fits and doesn't make you look a spud with toes!

I love it in here too. Always something I want to read. Brings out the lovely side in MNers, this board.

I like it so much I only view it on the mobile site, so I don't see trending threads in the sidebar.

Me too. Nothing like a 'style this dress' thread for a good distraction from reality.

I love it too! Changing the universe one mum boot at a time.

Oh god me too OP I was thinking the same thing just now.

I began reading S&B about a month ago (after being on MN for 8 years!) and lately i've barely looked at the miserable boards AIBU, Chat or Rships any more. And i think i feel better for it!

I knew S&B was here, it's referenced a lot across MN, but i imagined it was really slow moving.

😂 @ NewPants

I like it. No controversy (other than occasional expensive handbag). I wish the pets section was like that too!

friendlyflicka shudders at thought of political pet threads! I do find people can get very exercised about:

• scarves
• strong perfume
• the white stuff (who knew???)
• flannels

But apart from that, all good!
