So it's just you, no kids, pets, partner.
You're 35 healthy,, no allergies.
You have to devise a way of having
the lowest budget possible
to feed yourself.

long evenings ...
hours of darkness
... sudden urge to
tiny little thing …
godforsaken before
its time ...
I have Anxiety because,I'm an over thinker
I lost my mum, suddenly to Cancer.
Sorry to hear that.
Yes.
Terrible.
Yes.
I am doing talking therapy because my doctor said this will probably just be my anxiety..
But... but I have REAL pains.
its a stabbing pain. I'm going to list my pains
AIBU???
to think the worst??
The worst, yes.
Yes.
If anyone could tell me if they have the same
and/or they found out what was it, please?
Ok.
I get pain then sometimes I have pain
when I urinate in the morning especially
the pain travels
up to my lower
left pelvic area.
buzzing?
It usually hurts to sit down or walk
its a stabbing pain. Remember.
Yes.
Yes.
Terrible.
Yes.
In my stomach it used to be just sometimes
under my left rib the very bottom
on the left side too but this is almost
a constant pain now.
(whispered ) Meant to be suffering ...
ha! ... thought to be suffering ...
Godddddddd
... (good laugh) ...
I have lower back pain
struggle to walk more & as time goes on.
Have to shuffle before I can walk properly
after sitting down. I get mucus in my stool
sometimes feel like I have pressure
like I need to do a exit but I don't.
I have been referred to
gynaecology
gynaecologists
ah!
yes.
Yes.
Terrible.
Yes.
But they won't see my until
I take contraceptive pills for 6 months.
I am also so tired even if I get a good
night sleep.
It's the boiling frog scenario.
buzzing?
... yes...
all the time
the buzzing as if in actual ...
agony ...
but could not ... could not
all the time the buzzing ...
so-called ... in the ears ...
(good laugh)
AIBU
……the worst????????
I'm not an actively gossipy person,but I am a people pleaser. When people are gossiping
around me I find myself commenting
based on what I think they want to hear.
(ADHD/ASD) therefore
often do things to try and fit in.
All the best people I know are impartial.
My friend gave up gossiping for Lent one year.
She said it meant she wouldn’t be able to see me until after Easter.
buzzing?
... yes...
all the time buzzing
Not sure if this is the right place to post
as it's not an AIBU but more of I think
my husband is getting caught up
in some quite extreme right wing views.
Complains about how
they're coming in,
being housed in hotels,
not sure what to do about it.
paid allowances etc. how crime rates
are now ten fold etc.
its quite normal to move from the left in youR twenties/thirties when you have all these ideals
over towards the right as you become the ones
paying for it all with your taxes.
It’s fairly standard.
something begging in the brain ...
Leave him.
Yes.
Yes.
Leave him.
Jo Malone Lime Basil Mandarin.
Worn it since it was first brought out
no other perfume like it. Nothing ever lasts on me.
(A very long silence.) –
OK.
I keep getting reels short videos on Facebook
YouTube of these 'nonce stings'.
Yes.
Chemicals? The other day in the UK there was a troubling one where the nonce is having a full on Tourette’s attack while his poor mum
in the background doesn’t know what to do.
The ones where there’s a partner or parent responding to the situation, or there’s a crowd involved to, do make for better drama -
one clip had 900k views -
obviously it’s very sad for the relatives
shows the damage these men do to their own
as well as their victims!
The better stings, hunters are disciplined
in their righteous anger, they’re very measured
get everything in order for the police.
Just all part of the same wish to ...
I don’t actually know whether
these confessions are admissible in court?
But they have all the chat logs too.
Chat Logs.
I have known paedophile hunters'to have been injured when trapping their prey.
That's avoidable.
I am a bit wary of them for a number of reasons.
Some of them are obviously fake
done for 'comedy'.
Bit virtue signalling bullying on
behalf of the 'hunters' (like the episodes of Luther with the vigilante who made online videos) I often wonder
what motivation these guys have.
I would not be the slightest bit surprised
if some of them were
paedophiles themselves.
the buzzing ...so-called moving
in the ears .. yes ...th all the time
Videoing publishing seems to put them in the place of judge jury and is often for self aggrandisement.
so far ... then thinking ... oh long after... after
AIBU?
AIBU?......How do I tackle this?
Let's be clear though, people who abuse children are execrable.
I need to do a exit but I dont.
I know an sen 'adult' was attacked by one of these groups. He was going to meet a girl for a tea party. It was obvious from the video
had no idea there was any malice
in what he believed was happening.
Going to have a picnic with tea and cake.
The 'hunters' accused him of all sorts,
he was so scared and confused. I taught him as a teen, this happened when he was 26,
they made him out to be a predator
he was going for a tea party.
Took his teddy
thought she would be bringing hers ……..
All of this was twisted for the video.
He should have
24 hour care
but actually got
2 visits a day.
I think all child sexual abusers
should be exposed.
SEN or not, if you've committed a crime,
zero sympathy if it's live streamed.
Someone's got to do something about it.
in the skull ... &
Fair play to them.
AIBU??
The underclass discuss??
Do we have one?
Why?
Who or what is responsible?
When did it all go wrong?
Is this a joke?
OK.
What about a secret word you could casually drop into a conversation in any setting to identify fellow mumsnetters?
Baby group, dinner party, conference,
board meeting?
No probs.
Maybe a word is not discrete enough?
What about a hand arrangement, slight tic, stutter on one word only?

Yes. I’d love a badge or a t shirt that says
“AIBU?” ??? AIBU
am I being unreasonable?
Back in the day there were mugs etc. It didn't last! am I being unreasonable
I think the MN merch there used to be set up as a way to raise money for SIDS after a mner's DS died of it.
I've got an MN 'naice coffee' mug - it was a prize in a competition.
loiters near @louMumsnet's desk waiting to swipe AIBU note pad
This has definitely got us all thinking
I wouldn't mind the biscuit featuring somewhere..... I'd like a scarf in MN colours with
"When sleeping women wake, mountains move" printed all round the edge
I just want a car sticker.
YABU for parking so close!
Just a YABU one will do.
You are being unreasonable 50:50
Yes please, any of the above. 50:50
You are being unreasonable 50:50
How about a loo brush ! 50:50
#Radicalised by mumsnet
on a t-shirt i would definitely get 5!
AIBU? How do I tackle this?
Tell me about selective mutism ?
Everyone has a voice.
I know. Everyo-one has a voice.
Ok. You are being unreasonable. The motto stuck
My son has many autistic traits but is super sensitive to others and empathetic so I assumed he couldn't be autistic.
He used to run out of the room in the episode when Peppa pig crashed her bike or if someone was getting told off in a film or any emotionally charged film until he was well into his teens (he was much more scared by Inside Out than Marvel films)!
I've recently discovered that hyper-empathy is actually quite common for autistic people.
I have always understood it to be a symptom of anxiety, rather than a problem with speech or language - having attended a workshop by Maggie Johnson, a speech and language therapist and UK expert on selective mutism.
She also did a TV documentary about it years ago. I suggest you, OP try to find any of her work online or in books, to see if she can help you. (DD2 suffered from it at school, but not at home as a child. She grew out of it,
especially as she did customer facing jobs.
AIBU? How do I tackle this?
She still has social anxiety in some situations though. My approach to it has always been ‘you just have to try harder’.
What seems easy for other people requires a lot of effort for me.
We can't all be middle or working class on Mumsnet can we? Come on all you uppers and aristos - reveal yourselves! Tell us what makes you UC rather than MC.
Wondering why you don’t think aristos are discussing their loopy dogs, petulant teens and must haves from Aldi along with everyone else? What do you think the “tells” would be?
My DM would describe herself as UC. Is class inherited or achieved?
UC people talk to each other in RL not on forums, they have very small circles of very close friends. Many of their friends are family friends since multiple generations, they all went to school together etc. They don’t need Mumsnet.
AIBU? How do I tackle this?
I used to work with an "Honourable". They lived in a terraced house in a suburban part of the city. Basically they had the title but no money- so sent their DC to state school and did their shopping in Tesco.
I grew up in Australia where.people are not so class obsessed. According to my sister we are upper MC. I find the whole class obsession funny. It is a quirk of the UK.
My late husband was an honourable (heir apparent to title of baron) and we lived in a little terrace, where I live now. When he became mentally ill he was effectively written out of the family will. They were concerned he'd end his own life and they'd be forced to pay a fuckload of inheritance tax.
I wonder if you are referring to Upper Middle rather than Upper Class. In my view Upper Class is aristocracy and there are very few of them. Those that I do know are unlikely to sit around chatting on MN, but I guess the odd one might venture onto the boarding school threads looking for information. On the whole though, those I know have different lifestyles and have less interest in anything online beyond a few social media posts shared between a limited group of friends (and usually equestrian related).
If anyone is genuinely interested in how the upper class live today, I have just written a book about them which is published in September and available to pre-order now! And I'd say some are on here, for what it's worth, as most are 'normal' people, whatever 'normal' is.
AIBU? How do I tackle this?
