What are the fanny tablets, please? I have Trophigil but they’re not great.

Vaginal oestrogen tablets, called Gina. I order them online from Superdrug but you could get them through your gp. The Superdrug doctors review your order. Then they get posted out.

Have helped loads!

You can report any perceived infringement with the local police and it will be 'logged' for future use.
That there is a 'script' for men, yet I've not found a copy on Amazon yet.
MIL are always, always, evil and NC is all that's acceptable. DIL, of course, is always in the right.
Dogs are hated by the population, and all those stopping me every time I go out to say hello to my dog ate just outliers.

I’ll start.

That having a one syllable first name and surname is an absolute no no.

Is it? Why? I've been on mumsnet for around ten years and I hadn't heard this one. In fact many years ago I worked with a lady called Rose James and I thought it was the most elegant, no fuss yet feminine name I'd ever heard.

I don't care if you answer your door or not - I don't know you from Adam.
A PP said it could be something important, you asked "Like what?" so I gave an example of something I considered important.
I'm not trying to persuade you to venture to your front door.

I don't know my neighbours. I'm not going to let a stranger in because they say they need company. I also live on a terraced street, there are plenty of houses to try in the area. I'm not going to answer every knock on the door in case it's an emergency.

I didn't know there was such a thing as emotional abuse. It was such an eye opener for me, it was what my husband had been doing to me for a long time.

A neighbour came round to us a few years back because she'd come home and found her house had been burgled.
She was by herself, scared and upset, and just wanted to be in company straight away. The nearest company was us, next door, even though we didn't know her that well.
Obviously, we were glad to help.
I know it's hardly a common occurrence, but things do crop up.

🤣 that did make me lol. I do have one but haven't seen it properly for a while. It's probably overdue a wash. It's a term I think not in common parlance.

Many people got furious about this but it turned out to be justified. A neighbour had been breaking in and stealing stuff.

Show quote history

That wasn't the case on the first thread. She called the police not on the basis of theft, breaking and entering, but because "weird stuff" was happening. ie milk and lights
The theft has only been discussed on today's second thread.
