I’m bored Sad home alone and have tidied enough to impress my mother. Please entertain me.

Opening:

Our main character Susan, who has twins and is wearing a jigsaw dress, pulls into her local supermarket for a naice ham and a chicken to last 10 meals.

As she pulls into the car park, she notices a man in a van parking in a child and parent bay with no child to be seen. Susan contemplates whether she would be unreasonable to roll her window down and tell him straight, but instead she parks in a different space whilst muttering profanities under her breath. She knows her friends would call her a pushover, but she hasn’t the confidence of Alice, who would have jumped him with an umbrella and called him a cockwomble.

Now add your part....

Hoiking up her left breast, Susan wondered if she could store some tissue paper under it for emergencies. Checking on her most recent Mumsnet thread about her mother in law she saw that people were

From Waitrose, but without the toilet roll it had been sent for. Ffs said Susan, it's time to get the big guns out. She went to get her carbon neutral, environmentally friendly, hand woven from recycled lentils reusable shopping bag from the cupboard cloakroom but when she opened the door

Susan knew it wasn't a puncture she was looking at, it was a prick. Knowing the risks should Boris circle the naice middleclass area as he slowly deflated, Susan decided to do the nation a favour by

which was a great idea because the bulb had gone. So had the stairs.

TrainspottingWelsh · 20/03/2020 22:16

But that was ok, because the minister for stairs promised that everyone would get to the floor they deserved by September, and he would make a vague statement the next day about how he intended to provide alternative ascents.

Susan took the opportunity to start a craze for the next must have item, and nipped off to buy every light bulb within a 10 mile rad

…she decided to stop at the drive-through Burger King and get herself a Whopper. While queueing she reminisced about her early days when she couldn’t cope with a Whopper, but as time passed she had many partners who… HONK HONK – the rude bugger in the car behind wanted her to move up to the window and order.

She got her order and parked up across the way near to the Kwik Fit where she first met Jeremy, but of course that was all in the past now. Having eaten, she reclined her seat and lit up a cheroot. Puffing smoke rings gently upwards, she thought back to the days when life had been much simpler - when men were men, women were women and politicians were...

..The responses, as ever, varied, so she was left to decide whether she should Just Suck It Up, Call Them Out On SM, Shame Them in The Fail with Sad Faced and barefoot photos of her starving family should she be forced to pay the fine, or just be Bloody Grateful that she has got a car in the first place and remember to stop hogging Kwik Fit parking spaces in future in case a Hero NHS Worker needs it...

Fuming at her own inability to make a mundane decision independently, Susan angrily decided to start a second thread, fuming about the dc of a third hand acquaintance attending school next week. Susan had casually nodded at the family as they passed in the distance often enough to know the parents weren't key workers, the dc weren't vulnerable and they didn't have Ehcps. And if that didn't work to get her the congratulations she deserved for being a superior member of the human race, she would
