Mumsnet #30 Six figure salary, never eats a calorie

[GalaxyGirl70]

That woman equally mesmerises and terrifies me.

If that's style, god help the rest of us...

 

[Brandshinynew]

The dress is nice, I don't like the belt with it or in general, just don't like these types of belts.
The bed still looks like it's fusty...

Yeah, they still look like they smell a bit

 

[Serene Serena]

The room just looks like it needs deep cleaning, windows opened and everything in it washed, including the grim reaper.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

She's changed the sheets!!!!!

Don’t get too excited - she’s just put a throw over the top of yesterday’s yellow blanket. The underlying sheet substrata likely remains unbothered by detergent.

Why does he just sit there, every single day? Surely you’d duck out of view for the 4 seconds it takes someone to take a selfie?

 

[ShopTilYouSlop]

Yes, unless you’re a 14 or above and then you simply must go in the baggage hold because you’re too fat to fly/be seen in public.

I can't find it now but there was a thread over the summer about flying while plus size and asking for advice. Full of people declaring the seats a tight fit for their huge size 12-14 bums and therefore OP (who was larger than that) would never fit, shock horror, plane won't be able to take off etc etc. Very worried OP.

She updated a bit later. It had all been fine and she had a great holiday.

 

[Miss Begotten]

It's definitely not the worst outfit she's worn.

I tried to zoom in on the Grim reapers screen, but it's too blurry still.

Hopefully he’s online shopping for some new bedding.

Oh yeah, she has hasn't she.
Even the sheets look like they were from a charity shop.

Honestly, a plain white set from George would be £20 ish. She should have a week off from buying clothes and treat herself to some new ones.

 

[Tangent Tiger]

I remember I was asked about a job which required a double screen, assume he does something similar.

I wasn't able to afford it at the time, I could now, so that didn't go ahead. Weird getting asked to make the IT outlay to get the job!

 

[Serene Serena]

I remember a thread about flying where the poster was 22 stone and the holiday was 3 weeks off. The usual fat shamers were clamouring to tell her she could lose a stone in that time by eating 600 calories a day, and asking in amazement how she’d managed to get so enormous. Poor woman only wanted a bit of reassurance, not a lecture on obesity

I think you have to remember that in Mumsnetland, anyone over a size 10 should be too ashamed to leave the house, let alone swan off on holiday enjoying themselves.

 

[CrimsonCountess]

I have a double screen set up at work. It works perfectly to have mumsnet on one screen and tattle on the other

That’s true. The fact the woman had a husband and a child was also baffling to them.

 

[doctordoctor]

As my mother would’ve said ‘I couldn’t take a cup of tea in that house’ whilst grimacing

Same And when I have to do actual work, it does make life easier too!

 

[Tangent Tiger]

Ha! You think that's bad? My mother used to leave us with a woman across the street with several dogs. We couldn't eat our beans on toast for picking out dog hair (they were allowed on counter)

 

[GalaxyGirl70]

Oh god, I've got 2 dogs and my daughter said the other day " it's a miracle when you're at mums house if you're eating and there's not a dog hair in it". They float, that's my defence (hairs that is, not the dogs, they're not that clever ).

I had double screens in my old job and now have them at home too. It’s brilliant for multiple app use.

 

[Brandshinynew]

Oh god I know about the floating pet hair (the fluffy one at the front) her hair is like rabbit fur, it's everywhere you see it in the air it clogs the washing machine, but I love her so I forgive the furry little bastard.

 

[orangehead]

They means anyone over a size 10 need to fly business clas then?

I’d say a size 8, a size 10 these days is quite chubby because of vanity sizing. Not that long ago a person who fits into today’s size 10s would’ve actually been a size 16 heifer.

We’ve totally lost sight of how disgustingly obese a size 10 is
