To improve an otherwise boring friday night in front of the TV, with my slightly poorly DD x 👀👀

My gdad had a great hand in British history, during the war, Windrush etc

But he was a nonce who abused his 13yo daughter and got her pregnant with my dm, so cannot be celebrated in any way. Evil man.

My dm and I are estranged now, but its hard for me to hate her, given how unwanted she felt growing up. Then again she made me feel the same so 😬😬

Definitely not. I've met him and his wife a few times and honestly I've more chance of winning Euromillions than either of them straying, they are absolutely devoted.

I have been on mounjaro for 15 months and nobody in my life knows . Not 1 person.

Me too! Not told anyone.

8 months now, just tapering off as happy with my loss but scared of the hunger pains coming back too quickly.

How much have you lost? Edit - just seen your update - well done!!

MrsNessaSmithy · 16/08/2025 11:00

@mumofoneAloneandwell yes am over 50lb down on MJ and a total weight loss 10 stone over the last 10 years. I am a whole new person and it’s the best thing I ever did.

My extended family on my mother's side are pretty narrow minded with it being regularly voiced online, you don't get the impression as much in person but online on Facebook it's lots of Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve and shit about rounding up every immigrant ever and deporting them etc. constant stream of pretty hateful intolerant comments and posts.

I've opened an anonymous Facebook account and now troll their comments, having a personal knowledge of their lives helps me tailor the trolling a bit.

Was at my grandmothers birthday earlier in the summer and was trolling whilst they were all there and I guess getting notifications. Was very enjoyable.

My daughter and her husband have been selected to participate in a TV show. Filming is happening at the moment, but she’s not allowed to discuss it before the show is broadcast, so sadly I cannot disclose which show it is, or who the presenter is. DD says the presenter is one of the loveliest, kindest people she has ever met, and they’re both loving the experience.

Come back and tell us when you can!! I love to know hosts are genuinely lovely, it’s so unusual in reality tv

Name changed for this 🙈

I am having fantastic sex with a positively dreamy man for two years.

We are close mates with clear boundaries and there is no way I can tell anyone because it would cause an absolute shitstorm in our circle of friends (we are both single i will hasten to add!)
It wouldn't work for us being in a relationship but we have so much fun and not being able to tell anyone just makes it even funnier 😆😆😆

I feel the same way about my late dad.

My mum (who has been having a weird 'thing' with his former carer since a few weeks before he passed away 😡) has his ashes at her house at the moment and has talked about having them buried with her and her mum's ashes (44 years in the wardrobe and counting) when the time comes.

Ain't happening, that's for sure.

Thanks to this thread, we now know that crushed cat litter and fag ash looks the same so a swap out is sounding easier by the minute : )

I have regular meetings with a man who reminds me of the gay men on the Benidorm show. He is older and has a wife and children. I have never and will never say anything

SummerCanDoOne · 16/08/2025 10:35

PulchritudinousLycanthrope · 15/08/2025 21:27

I kept some of my Dad's ashes back as I knew 'the scattering of the ashes' would turn into an absolute circus with my family and various hangers on.

I want to put them on the exact spot where we used to sit and watch the trains, having a picnic and him telling me stories of when he was a kid.

I have never met a man as good as my Dad and I know I never will.

I feel the same way about my late dad.

Catsandcannedbeans · 16/08/2025 10:07

At the pub me and DH used to work at two managers have been shagging on the clock in the spirit cupboard. Both married, one with a kid. They haven’t fired them they just sent one to the airport branch (basically the equivalent of jail) and one to the student bar branch. They must have something on the big boss to not get the sack, so we are currently doing a bit of an investigation.

The thing is, there’s cameras in the spirit cupboard obviously. Rookie error for a work place shagger. Has to be the back room of the basement with the Christmas decs.

They asked DH to come back for six months as a part time manager to help out and he didn’t want to do it but I’m forcing him. If I wasn’t pregnant I’d be in there myself.

BamsWereAtIt · 16/08/2025 10:04

My ex has been having an affair with his married colleague for a couple of years. He cheated on me with her, and I've kept it secret to protect his reputation, because I have integrity/ I'm a mug. She's recently left her husband and they are now pretending their relationship is brand new. Deceitful swines 😂
