My Neighbour is mowing their grass. They have been at it since 8am.
I don't think this is outrageous. It's a good idea to do it before it gets hot.

I'm 53. I think I can decide for myself whether I have an appropriate haircut.

DTDs have had a lovely year at school and have declared their teacher the best ever. I have bought him a present. It is a Star Wars mug. He can keep pens in it, or drink coffee from it, or put it in a cupboard. But he likes Star Wars and I want him to know he's made a difference to my children.

I went to a baby shower. We had afternoon tea at a posh hotel and I got to see lots of female family members and friends that I hadn't seen for ages. It really was lovely.

I saw a gang of grown men (in suits!) playing Pokemon Go earlier.

I did not post a rant on FB or Twitter about it.

I put Windows 10 on my laptop. It seems OK.

A colleague asked me today if I was planning on having children. I told him that I hope so, and that I'm hopeful that we'll have some in the near future. He wished me luck, and we carried on about our day.

I have piles and thrush and haven't had a shag in 4 months. All part of being pregnant (for me anyway). I'll have a lovely baby soon and it will all be worth it. I'm very happy.

There are kids with SN and challenging behaviour in DD'S class. She is happy at school, so it's fine.

FeelingSmurfy · 19/07/2016 22:05

I had a loooong wait in a&e because they had a few emergencies, i was glad it wasn't me or a friend/family member and just hoped that whoever it was is OK now

I went to the post office and as I walked from the car park saw the postmaster having his coffee break out the back. He waved and said, I'll be in in 5, I agreed, said no rush and had a nice chat in the shop waiting for him to finish. Was nicer as the shop has a/c and I was melting!

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 19/07/2016 21:52

People in next stair were sitting g on wall under our window smoking and their toddler was bellowing and keeping DD awake . It was annoying but I didn't say anything as I realised they were just sitting in the garden on a nice night and it was my problem.

I won a top on ebay with a bid of £4.67 and paid £2.99 for p&p. Now it's arrived, it doesn't quite fit and I can see the seller actually paid £1.54 postage.
I'll probably drop it off at a charity shop at some point.

When dc 1 & 2 both my parents and my i laws visited the first day in hospital and then popped round after we were home and helpfully cooked meals, picked up things from the shop and cuddled the babies
They were excited and I was pleased as we are family.
I expect the same will happen with ds3 and I won't keep them away for the first 3 years of his life

My neighbours use the shared driveway as their own parking space. I am ok with this as I actually do have my own parking space in front of my house.

I do the bulk of childcare and housework. DH doesn't and I am not going to LTB because he works very hard, often long hours, cares about me, adores DD and I quite enjoy his company. i also quite like looking after my child and my house

I like this thread. Well done op Grin

My husband never does the ironing. But then I never do any DIY. This arrangement makes neither of us resentful or unhappy.

TwuntingCat · 19/07/2016 21:15

My DP is currently sat playing on his Xbox and has been for the past hour, I am MNing in peace, I could not give two shits if this means he is a 'man child'.

CleopatraCominAtcha · 19/07/2016 21:08

My son came home from his after school sports session today with mild sunburn on his face. The coaches had forgotten to remind them to wear their hats. I rang the boss to tell him about it, so that they remember about hats next time. He apologised a lot, and thanked me for letting him know without shouting at him. I accepted his apology and we said a cordial goodbye. I will probably book DS onto the same club next year. He likes it.

STBXH and I are doing our best to be ultra fair and considerate with our divorce terms even though it's a very sad process.

The cashier talked to me this morning when she scanned my shopping. It was nice to have a chat.

Someone let me through in my car and i waved thanks. They didnt acknowledge me or wave back at all. They were probably thinking about something else or didnt see me.

I let someone through and they didnt say thanks. See above.

I will in all likelihood not be at all offended all day, and continue to be a considerate driver.

Charley50 · 19/07/2016 20:28

I don't fancy Tom Hiddleston. I'm not even sure if that's his name.

paxillin · 19/07/2016 18:59

I got the school report for ds. It says he has the attention span of a fruitfly. They said it nicely in teacher speak. I didn't complain, because it's true.

Witchend · 19/07/2016 18:53

I got my report through for my 7yo. It says that instead of doing KS1 SATS they decided to give her the KS2 ones instead and she scored 130 (top mark 120) in all three. Is that good?

MuseumOfHam · 19/07/2016 18:49

A man was shouting really loudly in a foreign language in our street last night. It went on for ages. It didn't wake my DS up. DH said I expect he'll go away soon. He did.

CuboidalSlipshoddy · 19/07/2016 18:34

Someone said something stupid on Facebook. I didn't pay much attention.
