Anyone seen the thread where the poster has been - very very sadly - been sent a free tea towel? A free tea towel made in CHINA at that?! 😱 understanly all very upsetting for her, quite how the OP is coping I’m not sure. Going to check for updates throughout the night and maybe log with 101 or something.

another scared to Google vabbing haha

Did you read the one about the middle-aged woman who had the hots for her personal trainer at the gym? It went on for weeks. She ended up 'vabbing' herself (excuse me while I puke 🤮 🤮 🤮 ) and still he didn't realise she fancied him. I actually think he knew all along and was pretending not to read the signs, out of embarrassment - he didn't want to lose a customer but on the other hand, he definitely didn't fancy her at all.

While the woman may genuinely have started out with a crush on the fellow gym-goer, her follow-up posts are clearly just an exercise in creative writing. Puke no more!
 
I mean, WHY the duck would you post this??? I must be missing something to do with Style, or Beauty...

I took a deep breath and looked. Apparently it's using vaginal fluids to dab on you like you would use perfume.

The outfit is fine. Not my style but fine. As you say though, why would you post it? It's just very every day.

I was a member of a Facebook group for alternative fashion for a while. I posted my outfits a couple of times. What I learnt from that was what younger me already knew... if you like it, that's all that matters. I never posted again 😆.

Might be on my own here, but there is something about this post that bothers me. I can't put my finger on it, so maybe some of you might help? They're talking about shopping for expensive clothes to look like Monty Don. Yes, you heard me correctly. I like Monty, and his clothes, but ffs...

I work from home and enjoy a few liberties, although if i had an actual deadline I would hardly spend it messing around shopping for expensive clothes online (the thread involved very expensive items). Am I right in thinking this is all fabricated whimsy? It is like saying 'I am so rich and so lucky that I don't even have to comit to my job! Laaa dee daa!' Like the grin face says lol i dont have to care, I am so lush!

I don't think this reflects reality at all, If I have a deadline I am on it, or tit won't get paid.
I often feel that small segments like this are completely made up so as to look privileged and cultured. I would bet most of them, like most people I know, are either working their tits off or relying on hubby's wage.

I've just been browsing Mumsnet and there are so many threads from grabby, greedy entitled cunts, already complaining about what they assume they are getting for Christmas from their nearest and dearest. Honest to God, if my family wrote me a precise list of what they wanted, with the price and where to get it from, I'd tell them to piss off and buy it themselves. Half the fun of Christmas presents is the surprise element, and I love shopping for things I know the person would like.

There's a woman moaning that she's found her £150 worth of presents from her husband and she doesn't like any of them. Someone has suggested they are probably for the OW :D :D :D

I was trying to work out what the present was. £150 of stuff from.a vintage.website she loves but doesnt like any of the stuff he got because she won't use it and doesnt like the brands and cant use it because of allergy.

My first thought was Constance Carroll makeup from ebay 🤣🤣

Hmm I don’t know, I think they’re probably just trying to be funny (they’re not, ever). I do hybrid working and some times are busier than others and deadlines need to be met but I’m not busting a gut or going the extra mile (vom 🤮) for an organisation that wouldn’t care if I dropped dead. I do what’s required and they pay me. Obviously, everyone’s circumstances are different but as someone who’s job takes enough of their time and energy for far too little pay, I don’t feel guilty for doing a bit of online shopping or sorting my washing on company time 😂

I wouldn't say it's a bad outfit. It suits her but that's my opinion and probably one that isn't shared which just shows that perceptions of clothing and styles are different to everyone. She wouldn't stand out in her outfit like they all seem to think they do

But the fact they consider themselves style icons, as though they are revolutionary in their dressing, is just weird.

Plus outfit of the day reels or photos are boring as duck because lets face it, they are either trying to be quirky as duck or just dressing like every other fucker wearing joggers and trainers and a long puffa jacket.

Current thread about HOW do people MANAGE without a dishwasher?!! Well, the poor people have to queue at the local well for an hour then take them out into the woods to dry over an open fire, obvs. Or maybe tell the maid to organise her time better so they aren’t just piled up in the kitchen.

Why can’t the strapping teens do the washing up? Or is the kitchen too small for them in the new house ?
