When I started to read it, I thought it was weird (and financially risky) to book something without first checking that she can get the time off from work. But a later post says that they are both off that week anyway. If I had time off work already arranged and my husband saw a bargain like that for some winter sun and didn’t book it I’d be sobbing and shaking.

Exactly. If we went to Leeds and he turned round and said we could have been in Gran Canaria for the same price I'd LTB

You mean you actually have sexy time when you're not TTC? <head tilt> How very lower class.

To stop him divorcing me and taking his six figure salary with him I’ve agreed to have sex one a year on his birthday. You have to do what you can to keep your marriage going and men are basically sex crazed so I’ve come to terms with having to fulfil his desires.

At least he's not seeing escorts and cam girls or having an affair with a woman at work, like all the mumsnet husbands are :D
 
The Gran Canaria thread and the one about not wanting to use a hotel voucher because the OP refuses to leave her child are peak MN today. Along with the one yesterday where OPs husband selfishly booked a cruise for them as a gift

I really feel sorry for the men married to these people. Everything has to be on their terms, screw what their partner wants

Oh and apparently booking a holiday is as controlling as telling someone what to wear and eat 🙄

I would be over the moon if my husband announced he'd booked a surprise sunshine holiday for us. It wouldn't occur to me he was being selfish and controlling. I'd be dragging my suitcase out from under the bed and looking for my bikini.

What a bunch of joysuckers they are. No wonder their men wank in the shower or shag escorts or drink too much or use drugs, poor sods. What a life being a DH.
 
There was a thread earlier, that has been deleted on request from the OP because it was outing, that was pure gold.

OP is an ⭐ARTISTE⭐ who joined her town's art club (pay a yearly subscription, have the opportunity to display and sell your paintings at the town hall, etc) but none of her paintings had ever been selected for display. In her mind it was because she's a pioneering, renegade, abstract artist who cannot be confined, and those against her art were narrow minded "pensioners" with a vendetta to sabotage her with watercolours, landscapes and tradition, still lives and oils,etc. When asked for an example of her work she said she produces stuff like bright primary coloured art of space hamsters zooming around on a rocket or comet. 😄

OP also swings wildly between desperately wanting to be displayed in the gallery, hence her MN tantrum about not being chosen in the couple of months she's been there, and stating that the gallery is tit ("two old rooms at the back of the townhall") and the head of the art club is a provincial old woman and fool with no artistic merit. At one point she tries to argue it's discrimination as her art is akin to a protected characteristic lol.

Disappointed it got taken down before I could screenshot it 🎨

Sounds like she watched Maudie on Netflix and got carried away.

Excellent film btw.

Isn't Deviant Art the place for that sort of thing?
 
Anyone on the “gifts that are more hassle than fun” thread? What a bunch of miserable, ungrateful brats. Among the “crap gifts” we’ve had someone who received a 50 pound note (complained she can’t spend it and the bank is only open a few days a week), children who were given 10 pounds each from a relative who said “you mom can get you something nice” and the mother’s reply “bit difficult with a tenner”. I don’t know much about prices in the UK but I would have thought that with 10 pounds each you could get your children a happy meal or a book or a child’s movie theater ticket or some ice cream? And there’s also a multitude of posters who find flowers to be a crap gift because it’s too exhausting to snip the stems and find a vase and put water in it.

I saw that and eyerolled my way out quite quickly! Yes you can get something with a tenner, they’re just just miserable joyless wankers!
 
The prissy language they all use is pissing me off more than ever

‘For context’ No need to put this in every bleeping thread
‘Generally’ just say normally or usually
‘I tend to’ just say ‘I do’. No need for middle class wannabe frilly language
‘My role’ it’s not a role, it’s a JOB
‘Skill set’ words fail me
‘Prep’ oh aren’t you edgy shortening the word preparation
‘Whack it in the slow cooker’ you what?? PUT it in the slow cooker
