Buy stuff that I like the look of/on offer at Tesco and wing dinnertimes.

I laugh in the face of meal planning.

I do leave my washing out on the line overnight.

Happily go to weddings without my kids... wine and a disco? Yes, please!

"what is a steak bake" Sorry, i just started laughing all over again 😂

Any processed meat is food of the devil, hardly any one has ever gave their DC a quick ham sandwich?

nombrecambio · 10/03/2019 20:48

Oh yes. I leave my washing out.. over night and most of the next day while I'm at work.

GrubbyHipsterBeard · 10/03/2019 20:49

Yeah people on MN hardly eat anything, all claiming that they eat 1200 calories per day to be a healthy weight and that 2000 calories per day is “loads”

A steak bake is a large square cross between a large sausage roll and a pasty.

A Greggs specialty.

Although there are recipes for your own

OpiesOldLady · 10/03/2019 20:54

Leaving washing out in the rain is a good thing. It helps soften the clothes. Used to leave the kids clean washed nappies out on the line every so often to stop them going too crunchy.

FrangipaniBlue · 10/03/2019 20:56

Like my MIL

Like my DH

Never meal plan

Let the washing get darked on

Don't have a nanny/au pair/cleaner

RL people seem to be significantly more emotionally well adjusted than your average mumsnetter.

I can't wait for Brexit.

I love scented panty liners.

Use lots of bleach.

Have Uncle iPad do the babysitting and head for the local pub.

Butterymuffin · 10/03/2019 21:19

Eat oven chips. Based on the way people describe their cooking habits on here, McCains ought to have gone out of business years ago.
