I’m happy to share whatever insights might be helpful.

It’s definitely your DHs fault, I know it’s not a question but there are some serious red flags so you’re better off without him

Can’t believe he slept in and left me to fend for myself. Selfish twat. Doesn’t matter that he’s taken on my son as his own, works hard to provide for us and put a roof over our head, AND sleeps on the sofa when I’ve been poorly so I can get a good night sleep.

I just had the most delicious toast made from Posh Farm Shop tin loaf, loaded with butter and Longley Farm cottage cheese, browned under the grill (not burnt, I am careful).

I’m that MNer type who just wants to brag on someone else’s trauma thread. Soz.

Sorry we can’t all be as wonderful as you.

Also, Did you have Teddy Robinson watching the toast?

(Teddy Robinson being a character in a children's book, who is tasked with watching the toast, and watches it turning from white to brown to black, and remarks that it makes an interesting smell.)

Four (cane strokes) with the dressing gown on, or three with it off?

Roald Dahl states that at boarding school, it was traditional for "Boazers" (prefects) to ask this question, when one of the "fags" (younger pupils) failed in their duties, such as burning toast, by holding the toasting fork too close to the fire.

Does it matter if I’ll enjoy the pain?

Did you start the Great Fire of London?

It was believed to have started in a baker's shop.

Teddy Robinson is Deborah's sentient bear. Mummy puts toast under the grill, and asks Teddy Robinson to watch the toast, which he does, as it burns. A little bird comes in, and thinks it's very smoky in the kitchen. Later, mummy comes back, and screams with horror that she forgot about the toast. Teddy Robinson replies proudly that he hadn't forgotten it, and had been watching it all the time.

Have you considered this might be a symptom of ADHD? Obviously I'm not about to diagnose on the basis of one incident, but it might be worth considering

LipikarAP · 31/03/2024 13:45

Have you apologised on WhatsApp street chat to your neighbours for setting off alarm?

Not a fan of it burnt but yes, the optimal temperature for toast is COLD AF. Who wants melted butter and soggy toast? Gross.

I was on your side OP but now I think YABU. Warm buttery non burnt toast is the way forward.

Do you have children because if you do I think you should report yourself to SS tbh.

coldcallerbaiter · 31/03/2024 22:11

I do not believe this happened.
You are a liar.

Also, what colour was the toaster?

Tiger bread? Don't you realise that tigers are an endangered species?

Chersfrozenface · 01/04/2024 09:33

It's your own fault for buying tiger bread. Disgusting stuff. Just the smell in the shop turns my stomach. What's wrong with you?

Also, is your name by any chance Alfred?

You must be peri menopausal OP, go to GP just to be safe

BeyondMyWits · 01/04/2024 09:44

Purplevioletsherbert · 31/03/2024 09:42

I absolutely did. If there was over half a load left I wouldn’t have, but rules are rules.

The sound of my childhood, toast being scraped.

Did it taste good?

Toddlerteaplease · 01/04/2024 09:56

This thread is hilarious! Thanks for cheering up a rainy bank holiday.
