Yes, but it's not a very balanced diet... sure you don't want to add some crisps and an orange juice?Grin

Cheers to you Detroit and all in here. Been a long day. Can I have an aperol spritz and a packet of peanuts please because I can’t be arsed to cook anything.

As soon as I make enough money to buy a round I'll be sure to donate a bottle to the bar.

So glad you are enjoying my blog, so nice to hear good feedback!

Yeeee-hiiiii Detroit! A year's worth of persuasion has paid off at last!

I can fulsomely recommend the blog - funny, moving, insightful, profound (and often truly pissed off). You are something special Detroit.

Next round is on you BTW. Grin

Happy to send links to my website/blog if anyone wants to read. It's ad free, more a labor of love and an attempt to 'audition' to get some writing work.

DetroitNeedsADog · 18/01/2022 16:35

I've been published now multiple times in my local city street newspaper, and a few other places. It's not much money, but I'm working on making it into a career. Oldstyle has been trying to persuade me to push my Patreon, and since she is such a wonderful adoptive sister I'll mention it. Really trying to make a life. It is just so hard right now. Everything is so expensive because of inflation.

Hi Detroit! Hope all is going well with you. I'm just popping in for a quick lunchtime coffee. I'm going to try to message you, bear with...

Olderbadger1 · 18/01/2022 10:37

Fabulous to hear about the paid writing Detroit (although the camel will doubtless expect you to stump up for the cheesy Pringles now). Hope it goes well. Flowers

DetroitNeedsADog · 18/01/2022 02:45

Police! Why! Did someone feed the camel tequila?

I'm working on a paid writing gig ATM. My brain is now mush

Olderbadger1 · 18/01/2022 00:08

The camel appears to have jammed the jukebox:

Olderbadger1 · 18/01/2022 00:01

I rather suspect the camel is an informer... do we know who introduced him/her?
And hello Detroit and Goats! Happy 2022 to you. What'll it be?

Goatsaregreat · 17/01/2022 22:20

Hi Detroit and Badger.
All is well here - the police are currently monitoring Mumsnet for naughty women who won't keep quiet so you'll need to be on your best behaviour Grin

DetroitNeedsADog · 17/01/2022 21:55

Hello? How are things?

Olderbadger1 · 17/01/2022 20:47

Any one coming out for a pint tonight? Me and the camel could do with some company...

I think the fireworks have started already here. I should be able to provide some pyrotechnics I suppose (but quiet ones so as not to startle the goats, donkeys, camels etc). 🧨 🎇 Dragon

@TofuDelights no problem at all - it is a brilliant thread. Thank you for starting it.

Cuck00soup · 31/12/2021 21:37

Best wishes for the new year you wonderful lot. Cheers.

TofuDelights · 31/12/2021 21:35

Happy New Year everyone!!

I will update the Lurkers thread with a new message - thanks very much Waitwhat for that! I hoped a few fellow lurkers would join me on that thread but was really bowled over by the number of comments, it was wonderful, and so heartening to see so many new names posting!!

Detroit, happy new year to you, and please don't feel bad, you really deserve your new home. Where else will your future doggy live?!

Cheers to the brilliant regulars and posters on FWR!! 🥂

Waitwhat23 · 31/12/2021 20:14

Happy New Year to you all with very heartfelt best wishes to all posters on this board who continue to hold the line on women's rights through intelligent, evidence based discussion.

And to any lurkers reading, the recent lurkers thread was enormously heartening. It was genuinely amazing to hear from so many of you.

Goatsaregreat · 31/12/2021 20:00

Happy New Year to everyone. Don't feel guilty Detroit. You deserve your new home.

Looking forward to seeing this tide turning even faster in 2022. xx

DetroitNeedsADog · 31/12/2021 19:47

Thank you, border. Hope you are having a good day. I'm going to go walk by the water and try not feel too guilty about being inside.

bordermidgebite · 31/12/2021 17:56

Happy new year to Detroit when it happens there
