Mumsnet #47 I prefer not to turn up to weddings dressed as an ominously shaped lump of toothpaste

Please stay safe @bread-pitt thinking of you all x

Tell them that you're bringing them up non-gendered and will leave it up to them to decide when they're old enough. They're currently known as Axolotl.

I’d suggest axolotl might be construed as a girls name due to the l ending. Axelotelle Wolfe Badgerina for example.

Axelotelle Wolfe Badgerina for example.

That is 100% the name of a sister wife dress boutique.

Might change my name to that on Mumsnet.

As a doting gran of a baby girl (in a sea of boys), let me add hen's bum knickers to the list of questionable garments for DBetsi. The urge to buy frilly dresses and bows is alarmingly strong.

 

[50degreesnorth]

Btw Serene, it’s so refreshing to see you simply enjoying Betsi rather than the MN style fretting. Although it is easier 2nd time around with a feeling of “haven’t offed the first one yet”.

I will assume though that you’re feeding her in the hospital carpark just in case she has an allergic reaction and you need to be close to medical assistance. (I did once read that on DBatshitBoards).

Here we go…Pasco County is under mandatory evacuation order. See you on the other side of the storm, folks.

Sending love, I hope you’re ok xx

Boring thread there about SHOCKING 20 minute showers. Don't want to sound all judgemental but how can anyone do top-to-toe incl. crevices in 5 minutes?

When you're size French then there isn't that much to wash.

Now I’ve seen how bloody adorable the Ddogs look I’m thinking I might forego the fedora and wear a bow tie instead. Unless I get a matching set….

Please bring matching dogs to Betsi’s christening and any little girls MUST wear a hair bow or they’ll be banned.

MNetters have their own ad on the wireless
mum to son “is (girlfriend) staying tonight? remind her she can’t use the upstairs bathroom” head tilt

Not sure if you're reading @bread-pitt but hope you're back to us safely soon and that you return to your home as you left it I'm very much not a thoughts and prayers person but sending stay safe vibes out into the universe for all in FL

They're still all begging for Tattle codes..."DON'T DO IT PIKE!"

They're still all begging for Tattle codes..."DON'T DO IT PIKE!"

I can't blame them though, it's exceptionally tit right now. I've logged out so I'm only viewing. Despite it all, I do want to keep my account and I can't trust myself right now.

Anyone seen the perfume thread. Yet again they are all dealthy allergic to perfume and one nutter is frightened it will kill her when her epipen doesn't work, apparently one MNer cam smell it on people in the swimming baths when doing laps.

 

[nobotoxta]

Got to admit, I can smell perfume on people in the pool, but I just sort of think ok, odd. I don't have a full on panic attack and demand they are removed and the pool drained

The Hysteria on Mumsnet is the gift that keeps giving a few posts in and spraying perfume is "Chavvy" Such a Joyless existence

 

[50degreesnorth]

Is it chavvy if you choose one of the scents nobody’s ever heard of and you can only get decanted out of a dusty bottle at the back of a shelf in Liberty? Or is it more reserved for the stuff you can get in Boots?

 

[Kikini Bamalam]

Stay safe @bread-pitt I hope that you, Mr Bread and the pets are well out of the danger zone. Come back to us in one piece x

Saw this on insta and can only assume this is a mumsnetter. Although they have a sense of humour so maybe not?

I think Mumsnetters probably sneer at any celebrity endorsed perfume, regardless of where it's created. I love J-Lo Glow and I will die on that hill.
One of my friends bought me a present recently, as well one for Betsi. Mine is a candle that says 'this smells like Harry Styles' and Betsi's is a hand crocheted blanket. Lads, Harry Styles doesn't smell very nice. The blanket is divine - pale violet and cream.

I've always imagined that Harry Styles smells like wet dog and piss, can you confirm?

As for perfume, I have worn Calvin Kline's Obsession since I was 15 years old and they will have to prise that out of my cold, dead hands. I do not care if it is chavvy, old fashioned or known to kill off mumsnetters (a bonus?) I will never stop wearing it and have left instructions for my nearest and dearest to give me a quick squirt before I am loaded into my coffin. When I shake hands with satan I am doing it smelling nice!
