Just two monitors, two laptops and a phone? I basically have a branch of curry’s here there’s so many screens. But then me and my husband do both earn 6 figures. I can’t tell you what we do though, it’s very niche and outing because we are so clever and special.

You've just outed yourself, I know exactly who you are. And you still owe Mandy the cleaner £350 for the deep clean she did before Christmas - it nearly broke her, especially your downstairs lav. Have you been letting tradespeople use it? :o

Me and MY husband earn 7 figures between us. Our last month's take home pay was £1,347.0 (you need to count the comma and the full stop for context)

So old fashioned! I use a very modern technique of pen and paper, have you heard of it 😉🤣

Is this like the soup down the jumper theory?

Poor/working class - cheap clothes
Nouveau rich - designer clothes
Actually wealthy - old clothes with soup all over them

Poor/working class - can't actually write
Nouveau rich - use technology
Actually wealthy - pen and paper (ideally a very old pen in the family for years, scrawled onto the back of a scrap of basildon bond you found lying around)

I live for the day carbs come back into fashion. I'd much rather eat a high carb, low protein diet than the other way around.
Some of the diet threads on Mumsnet are joyless. Feeling hungry? Crunch a handful of ice cubes.
It's also a bit worrying the number of posters who are buying Ozempic - it's bloody expensive and as far as I know, the side effects of prolonged treatment haven't been made public.

The ozempic/wegovy threads on MN (and on here) are terrifying. Our local NHS trust has approved Wegovy for diabetics (I'm type 2) and I'm desperate to get off Metformin as it's destroying my stomach lining - but they can't source it with any form of commitment so they're reluctant to start anyone on it yet. My diabetic nurse was saying how dangerous it is without regular blood tests and how people buying it online are literally playing with fire. It makes me so angry, if it was a cancer drug being abused like this there would be public outrage, but no one gives a tit about us diabetics. It's genetic in my family, every 1st born child on my Dad's side has had it for generations.

Where did this trend for buying diabetic medication for weight loss come from? Did it originate here or in America?

Someone on that spreadsheet is a low carb, gluten free vegetarian, what do they eat? Just cheese and eggs? Bit bloody limiting...

If low carb isn't a diet and is so amazing why do they have to keep doing bootcamps? Essentially, they're on a permanent diet.

The thought of living without bread, rice, noodles, oats, loads of fruit, crisps etc just makes me feel sad. I can't eat lots of fat due to having no gallbladder, it gives me "stomach issues" :sick:

exactly. If low carb was so amazing and worked so effectively, there’d be no fat people, no need for the wegovy stuff, and the NHS would be on it’s knees with all the people suffering from starvation because they’re eating 3000 calories of cheese every day which makes them lose weight.

The whole oh but fat, insulin, a calorie is not a calorie bollocks is clearly just that.

Eat too much, you get fat.

Didn't expect anything less than these kinds of replies:LOL: they are so predictable. Maybe if they did try eating some snacks they wouldn't be so hangry (think, cunty)

This is one of my least favourite things about mumsnet, and it happens on almost every post.
‘What’s your favourite snack?’
‘I don’t snack 😊’

Then DONT POST ON A THREAD ASKING ABOUT SNACKS, you dipshits! Your input is not necessary on this topic, no one cares how daintily you eat and how you’ve never been hungry in your life because you’re not a fat poor. Get out!
