If you're not too far from a toilet, certainly have another cuppa. (I try to avoid too much tea because it makes me wee a lot!)

I'm running pin the tail at a kids' party (on the birthday child's insistence), where some of the children are only 3 or 4 years old. Should I let the younger children close their eyes in case they're scared, or blindfold them like the older ones?

NeverGotMyPuppy · 05/01/2020 08:46

Offer them the choice.

Should we starr trying for baby number 2 this month?

LittleLongDog · 05/01/2020 09:33

Yes. But no pressure; if you try but don’t succeed then there’s always next month.

What time shall we go for a fry up?

Spied · 05/01/2020 09:38

Got at 11. Then it's brunch. Try the vegetables sausage though

Shall I try and ignore how much my oh annoys me or should I continue to try and make him see that he is a poor excuse for a partner and father with how he doesn't help me at all with anything?

AmazingGreats · 05/01/2020 10:14

You should continue to ask him to do his part and give him an ultimatum if he doesn't

Should I continue using sweeteners in my tea and coffee because I'm overweight but hate the taste, or just admit I only really like them with real sugar and actually enjoy my cuppa again?

bettybattenburg · 05/01/2020 10:17

Have it with sugar but gradually reduce the amount bit by bit until you enjoy it without sugar ? Or cut down on other sugar and stick with sugar in your drink ?

Should I quit a training course I really hate so I'm home more for my teenagers ?

HeadLikeAFuckinOrange · 05/01/2020 12:26

You won't miss your training course when your teens are grown up. But you may regret missing a lot of their time still at home due the course you hated.

On the other hand, once they've grown up and left, do you have another skill to fall back on?

Decide which option makes most sense long term to you, and do that Smile

Should I go on holiday on my own this year? I am craving some peace, and think it will be refreshing to spend some time on myself for once.

bettybattenburg · 05/01/2020 12:35

Thanks Head I do have another skill to fall back on but it's very low pay and I'm overqualified for it. The training is for another job which I thought I'd want to do but now know I'd be rubbish at.

Go on holiday on your own if you won't regret not going with the people you would normally go with.

LittleLongDog · 05/01/2020 15:11

Definitely go on holiday on your own (it sounds lovely) but plan some things to do in the evening parts (eg go to a show) as they’re the times you might be missing company.

Shall I save for a bathroom or a wedding?

schoolcats · 05/01/2020 15:44

a bathroom

Shall I let my 16 year old play Call of Duty because his friends do and want him to play it with them online so they can socialise - apparently it's how teenagers socialise these days

labazsisgoingmad · 05/01/2020 16:30

if you dont then he will probably go to someones house to play it anyway so i would say yes but with supervision

should i go back to slimming world did 5 years of it stopped now ive gone back to my starting weight dont know how else i can get my weight down but i didnt like it used to cry at every meeting

BikeRunSki · 05/01/2020 16:41

Not if it used to make you cry, and you went for 5 years!

Gonewiththemadness · 06/01/2020 11:48

I don’t think you should either because after 5 years it doesn’t sound like it’ll be a positive experience for you. How about online support instead? Smile

What should I have on my pancakes?

Stronger2020 · 06/01/2020 12:17

Nutella and strawberry

BitchyArriver · 06/01/2020 12:19

Stronger you need a question!

listsandbudgets · 06/01/2020 12:43

Lemon and sugar.

What shall I do with all the books my DS has outgrown. I think I should take them to a charity shop but he cried when I told him (he's 7)

HebeMumsnet · 06/01/2020 12:47

Chuck them out when he's at school.

Shall I keep trying to break in my DM boots after three years or get rid and buy some comfier shoes?

Docs are incredibly comfy once worn in...

What's the best remedy for diarrhoea?

peachgreen · 06/01/2020 12:50

Three years! Life's too short, chuck 'em.

Shall I tell my mum we're not coming for Christmas next year soon or leave it until later on in the year?

listsandbudgets · 06/01/2020 12:52

Leave it until August., 4 months is plenty of notice and it gives you scope to change your mind between now and then.

Shall I go shopping in town to spend Christmas money or stay here with a good book and a slice of Christmas cake?

AmazingGreats · 06/01/2020 12:53

Imodium plus comfort at the time and diorylite sachets to get over it

Tell you mum in August

Should I go to the supermarket now or watch episode 2 of Dracula and wash my hair first?

Stronger2020 · 06/01/2020 13:03

Go to the supermarket now and get it over with.

My question...

For lunch shall I make a cheese and tomato omelette, a waffle with Nutella or a ham and avocado sandwich?

Azura2019 · 06/01/2020 13:04

Cheese and tomato, healthy, cheap and quick. Less mess!

What should
I cook for dinner??

BikeRunSki · 06/01/2020 13:29

@HebeMumsnet - try putting Dubbin on the insides.

schoolcats · 06/01/2020 13:49

@HebeMumsnet you can't throw books away, it's sacriledge!

Another vote for dubbin. Envious of you having DM boots, I want some.

@bikerunski you need a question Grin
