Does any one want to adopt me as their DIL?

[ChocolateBlock]

I'm already a happy DD but I've temporarily had enough and I fancy a change of scenery. I come with a ready made DGS who is such a lovely and happy boy you won't be disappointed. I'm in my 30s good career very independent but love to spend time with others. I am a relatively good cook and will happily bake some sweet and savoury treats. Baby DS is 7mos and I guarantee will make you laugh and smile. So any takers?

@2018SoFarSoGreat I would in no way be disappointed in a Scottish MIL. I can hear the Nellie songs already and you can teach me all the Scottish sayings I never understand!

@Knittingnanny the one and only!

Could you do a rota between all the candidates?

Well in keeping with current times it would have to be some form of online video call. But I'm also an excellent excel spreadsheet maker so I can whip up a colour rota in no time. I want to see everyone and DS will have the time of his life before I go back to work.

Lake district potential MIL here. A few questions, have you ever shorn a sheep ? How are your tractor skills ? Do you mind having broken nails and a bit of animal poo under them ?
Will collect you in clapped out land rover if you accept those conditions !

I’ve been there for jive dancing also many times, when I’m not knitting or playing with babies and little ones of course.
Only 30 mins away ( if no traffic) from so hopefully I will be shortlisted.

Well, I hate to say it but I think you are made for me, @ChocolateBlock. I even have a pin that says 'I heart spreadsheets' - a pivot table and a slicer and I'm happy as a wee clam.

I am, however, happy to share. You get that color coded calendar out and we shall make it happen.

one more point. For the inteview process, I will wear my fab Mac Ruby Woo lipstick. You will pretend you don't see how smeary it is, or that it is somewhat coloring my teeth.

It appears I will be a shoo-in. :)

Haha! I also have a current Dbs certificate from my Homestart volunteering , that training didn’t involve trading to be a fake MIL though.
I don’t have first aid certificate and I’m squeamish about blood but can deal with wee, poo and sick ok.
Could I also be your mums friend?

I don’t know how to make spreadsheets x

Before you go back to work you say? Have you childcare arranged yet? .....
seriously, you sound lovely, do you have a real life MIL?

Training not trading!

@VictoriaBun never shorn a sheep but have clippered a man? I can learn a tractor pretty quick (fingers crossed) I'm sure. I hate nails so mine are v short and I'm not scared of poo (trust me!). And lastly if it is a defender I'm all yours...assuming I scrape a pass?

Arg i can't compete with victoriabun's sheep and tractor .

But we have cats and my favorite thing to eat is chocolate.

Yes it's a full on farmy Land Rover defender although the mice have eaten a small portion of the passenger seat

2018, I bought a ruby woo lipstick on the recommendation of someone on mumsnet. It is so hard and solid I have to warm the case up in my hands for ages before I can plaster it on.

@2018SoFarSoGreat our family had an I heart Spreadsheet mug! Not sure what happened to that. I won't notice the lipstick but it sounds fancy.

@Knittingnanny I used to jive there too lol.

This thread is everything! So lovely! I want to be old enough to adopt you all!!

Victoria, when you have shorn your next sheep can you spin it and sent it to me? I will knit chocolate blocks baby a jumper with it as our joint application process for this job. Dyed blue would be useful, thanks

Really???? I probably have seen you then. We haven’t been for quite a while as until he retired recently my husband worked a lot of night shifts so probably from 2006-2017/8
You’d probably remember dancing with him, did wild spinning! Far Eastern with a black hair

I want to be old enough to adopt you all!!

I see what you mean, but oh no you don't want to be that old . I have done my fair share of elderly parents parenting, could you be interested in a sister?

@VictoriaBun the 90 I had was an ex farm defender. Not practical for a baby but will get my hands on one when he is bigger.

@Knittingnanny
Sorry I'm into crochet , but will bear you in mind for any spares !

Ok Victoria, I do crochet as well but knitting nanny sounded better than crochet nanny as a name!

giantangryrooster I'd love to! I have a baby step sister (she's 32! ) but I've room for plenty more in my nest.

I can't remember but sounds v likely. I went mainly on Tues. Sometimes Thurs probably 2008-2012 maybe. I can't quite remember though.
