The designers of those sack dresses are trolling their clients.

Get your ducks in a row he must be cheating
poor sod.
am I the only one who doesn’t give two shits if my husband stays out beyond his curfew and I don’t hear from him? My husband must be cheating.

 

[PrincessCharming]

My husband and I are both adults. When we go out we don’t have curfews.

We don’t tend to plan a home time so we’re never late home!

I'm getting two, one to wash and one to wear. I've had to cancel Christmas and next year's holiday, but one must put one's priorities right. Style is EVERYTHING.

N'est pas, mes amies?

Has anyone else had the absolute audacity to spend their child benefit on their children?!?

I saw that! Isn’t that what it’s meant to be for? Most people don’t have the freedom to just save it! I might respond that if they can afford to save it, then they probably don’t need it in the first place <wooden spoon>

hahah go for it.... although if they are on 6 figures they shouldn't even be getting it!

I'm sure I saw somewhere years ago that Diana Princess of Wales used to get it while still married!

Teeny tiny alert!

Someone can’t understand why people enjoy food.

 

[TriviaNewtonJohn]

They don't care about usernames or food. They obviously care enough about both to humblebrag. If you can't get any joy from food I feel sorry for you but it's probably just somebody shoving bacon in their mouth leeching off mumsnet's weird fascination with food being fuel and nothing else.

 

[Cheddar Chalpupa]

Even if you eat to not die, you still have to go to the shops and get food to put in the freezer for when you're peckish. My kids would eat cereal 24/7, but legally I still have to provide them with balanced meals and since I don't live in a Tesco there is some degree of having to think in advance about what to make for dinner. (well if we're being accurate, 95% of my brain spends the entire day consumed with what I'm going to make for dinner, fussy fuckers.)

 

[CrimsonCountess]

I wanted to reply to that food obsession thread and say good for you op do you want a medal? But then I would be outing myself as a massive fatty

 

[Affiliatemebaby]

I love food. I love talking about food, eating it, thinking about it.

I used to be with someone who pulled out that while ‘you live to eat, I eat to live’ thing. Ironically he ate quite a lot to live and is substantially overweight and has type 2 diabetes. Not sure he is morally superior really.

I cannot stop laughing at those ridiculous outfits. They MUST be trolling. I wish there was a middle ground of sensible suggestions on S&B between people suggesting crap ditsy print dresses and that nonsense. I want to know where the good stuff can be found! (Maybe it doesn’t exist any more?)

I hope that when she goes out on the piss with her friends he demands she return by 9pm ON THE DOT.

Madness.
Why does an adult have a curfew?!
Urgh.
I hope he was getting his willy wet somewhere else.

If hubs is going to be late, I ask him to text as I have awful anxiety and become certain he’s dead in a ditch somewhere then again his idea of late is midnight instead of 11! Is this the OP who kicked him out?

There's always threads about how child benefit should be saved for the child on Mumsnet and people saying stuff like oh my sister\friend\colleague spends her and I do judge her for it as I save it for my children

 

[PrincessCharming]

I would think that if you’re eligible for child benefit you pretty much need to spend it on day to day expenses.

So many high handed pricks on MN.

Our child benefit just goes into the joint account and is spent on family expenses Until that thread I had no idea people treated it as a government funded nest egg for their kids. If you can afford to do that then you don’t need CB.

 

[redmixer]

The conveniently timed “is it weird to say inshallah” thread a thinly veiled attempt to start a bun fight about Israel and Palestine or just standard MN middle class white lady foolishness?
