Some unfortunate circumstances have seen me having to share the house with my ex-partner, children's dad, during lockdown.

I have a smartphone like most people.
My smartphone is bluethoothed to the car we shared before we split. I occasionally use this car. I love music. Car is always set to play from my phone.

Ex went out to the supermarket whilst the kids were going to sleep.

It's been a looong lonely lockdown. My new man ditched me about 4 weeks ago, understandably, given I had had to move back in with ex fuckhead and I am mid cycle with dying last-ditch eggs bidding for survival.

Ladies and gents: do not under any circumstances watch rude action on your phone whilst bluetooth is turned on. When your bluetoothed car arrives on the driveway, the driver will get something they hadn't bargained for, through the car stereo.

It took me about 10 seconds to think what the fuck has happened to the sound.... bloody bloody bandwidth issues, again! Oh.... fuckkkkkkk Grin

That was 3 during round 2.
Round 1 also involved 3 Jaffa Cakes.

I think I have some Hartley's Orange Jelly in a drawer. And chocolate. Maybe I can try a deconstructed chocolate orange?

Neveranynamesleft · 30/04/2020 21:41

I'm not washing up tonight. AiBU

Weallhavevalidopinions · 30/04/2020 21:41

I love ginger biscuits.

I used to love chocolate covered digestives - the dark chocolate ones mind, not the milk chocolate

I don't think Jaffa Cakes are 'biscuits' though - the clue is in the title.

MillieMoodle · 30/04/2020 21:43

OP I am mortified on your behalf Shock

The biscuit references are because the second post on your thread was entirely unrelated to your OP so then other posters commented with random comments, including biscuit-related ones. Biscuits are a big thing at the moment.

And Gold bars are rank. Sorry, but there it is. I have long thought DH has questionable taste in biscuits - he likes Gold bars. They are the King of Shit Biscuits.

Whathewhatnow · 30/04/2020 21:43

Oh is this a biscuit thing? Like .... have a biscuit ? Oh.

Has anyone noticed my slippers are on the wrong feet"

I didn't notice but once I adjusted by camera I can clearly see that they are. Why? Aren't they uncomfortable like that? Is it just showing off how radical and outrageous you are.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 30/04/2020 21:45

Oh is this a biscuit thing? Like .... have a biscuit ? Oh.

No.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 30/04/2020 21:46

@ChardonnaysPetDragon yessss deconstructed food is the height of lockdown fashion.

Yes, also known as standing in from of the fridge and scoffing everything in sight.

hopefulhalf · 30/04/2020 21:46

All roads lead to biscuit on mumsnet

TwentyViginti · 30/04/2020 21:47

Whathewhatnow The biscuits, jaffa cakes, whatever aren't all for you, that's greedy.

planetcloud · 30/04/2020 21:49

Wagon Wheels are the work of the devil by the way. Oh and I might have my pants on back to front - hard to tell!

TwentyViginti · 30/04/2020 21:49

Oh there she goes again with the quirky slippers thing.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 30/04/2020 21:49

I was listening to some music on my phone via my Bluetooth speaker in the bath this morning. It suddenly stopped playing and this American accent started gibbering away at me. Dd1 in the next room was watching crap on YouTube. That could have gone badly. For her. Grin

I’m currently eating my way through a packet of milk chocolate digestives. I may well eat the whole pack. I am going to be the size of a bloody horse by the time this lockdown is over. Hmm

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 30/04/2020 21:50

Jenasuarus we have Jaffa Cakes, Gold Bars and porn. I didn't even notice your feet until you mentioned it.... TBH I'm embarrassed for you
