No Drama. Mumsnet threads you haven't started.

My next door neighbours got a cockerel. For the first few weeks it woke me everyday at sunrise, now it only does occasionally, I'm guessing my body has learnt to sleep through it. I'm just thankful they got it in March when the sun didn't rise super early.

Since the local jeweller changed the battery on my watch, the date function has been slightly out, and I can't correct it. I went to take it back to the shop today, but the shop was closed, they don't open on Mondays.

I'll go back later this week to ask if they can fix it. I'm sure they'll be able to.

I phoned dh at work to ask him if he minded if I went out tonight to visit a friend, spur of the moment. He said yes, that was fine.

It's pretty good of him, considering he will be left in charge of my elderly high maintenance mother for the evening, as I haven't had time to organise a carer. I'm definitely not going to LTB!

My widowed father has been very happy for the last ten years with a new partner, and finally they're getting married. I'm really looking forward to a nice party!

My son's childminder was unavoidably detained, so their boss dropped him home instead. That was nice, wasn't it?

Buttered

On the bright side, DS' GF has passed the first-level approval. If the dog had rejected her, you wouldn't be meeting her next. So she probably won't be too bad, I'm thinking.

We are on holiday with my inlaws. We're having a nice time and everyone is getting along.

Last night my neighbours who were having a barbeque accidentally chucked a football over the fence. There was obviously a little boy doing it as I could hear him. I chucked it back over and shouted, here's your ball back! They said thanks. 2 minutes later it happened again! I laughed and thought they must feel mortified so went back outside and chucked it over the fence again. They said thanks and sorry.

Not a problem. Was happy to do it. 😀

My nearest Starbucks ran out cold brew so I couldn't have my soy cold brew latte with caramel syrup, I had to make do with a soy iced latte with caramel syrup. Hashtag first world problems.

Our neighbour's window cleaner was blocking our drive with his van. I parked my car on the road and politely asked if he'd mind doing our windows too. He did do them. He then moved his van and I parked in our drive.

Another neighbour's teenage daughter had a party last night. She put a handwritten note through our letterbox beforehand to tell us it was happening and to knock if they were too noisy. I closed the bedroom windows and put the fan on. They weren't noisy at all and I hope they had a great night (and what amazing neighbours for the handwritten note!).

My parter was out late last night. They're back now.

My cleaner occasionally doesn't put things away where I normally put them.
I either leave them where they are or I put them back where I prefer them.

Also, I pay her the rate she asks for. It doesn't really matter to me what other cleaners in other parts of the country get paid.

I found a shopping list on the floor outside my local supermarket.

I popped it in the nearest bin and then I did my shopping.

I saw my friend's DH having lunch with a woman I don't know. I said hello and got on with my day.

DD1 got home at 4.15am this morning from her night out. She was in rather high spirits and woke me up and probably the neighbours too shouting goodbye to her friends in the street.

I thought she sounds like she's had a good time and then went back to sleep.

My neighbour turned his grass sprinkler on at 6.30am yesterday morning. It makes a noise like an asthmatic hippo because of the low water pressure.

I didn't complain because he mowed my lawn for me the other day without my asking, and I think it was him that dragged my bin out when I forgot it was Thursday.

Today I thought about going to a commercial event which seemed a bit expensive. So I didn't go.

Today a small child grabbed my walking stick as I was leaning on it, and almost sent me crashing down. His dad scolded him, and made him apologise. I was happy with his parenting.

My neighbours have just started playing music outside. Think they're having a barbeque. It stopped me from being able to hear the TV. I closed the French Windows. I can watch TV in peace now. All is well😀

My husband does things / doesn't do things that annoy me, sometimes we argue about it, sometimes I let it go. It's all just part of the give and take of a long relationship I don't want to LTB.

One of my neighbours is getting a new drive and parks his car in front of my house. He didn't ask. I don't care.

My landlady rang for a chat today, she likes to check all is ok. I mentioned we're having a bbq. 10 minutes later the landlord turned up to cut the grass so it was nice for us (gardening is his job).

This was slightly inconvenient as we'd started getting ready. We stopped, moved said stuff, made landlord a drink and thanked him for being so considerate.

Ds texted me last night at 12.30 a.m. to see if I was available to pick him up from a friend's house 20 mins drive away, as his lift back had fallen through.

I was a bit irritated, even though it wasn't his fault.

I went and picked him up, he apologised and thanked me, and I said, in a jokey way, that's ok, but don't make a habit of it!

I then asked him if he'd had a good evening. He had.

I think most parents put themselves out for their children sometimes.
