In need of some lighthearted chatter, please!

[AutumnOctober]

Hello! This is a bit of a weird one but I've had a mega stressful time lately and had some bad news tonight and I'm finding myself on the edge of a panic attack. I am determined not to let that happen though! she says, breathing into a paper bag. So I thought I'd try coming here for a chat. Tell me something, anything, to distract my troubled mind 🤪🙏

I need to make a hedgehog cake for my niece’s birthday on Saturday.
Looking up “hedgehog cake fails” always makes me laugh.

Sorry you’re having a tough time.

The paper bag is amazing though isn't it?! I'd love to know how they discovered that would trick...

Do you watch Friends? There was an episode where someone grabbed the bag and almost choked on a receipt that was inside 🤣

Hi @AutumnOctober how are you going now? I have a bit of experience with panic attacks to happy to help...

Otherwise, funny animal videos always give me a giggle when I need my spirits lifted.

We have new carpets upstairs, really nice.

Last night all three of our cats threw up the new cat biscuits I bought yesterday on our nice new carpets. The cat biscuits were bloody expensive. Before i had the chance to clean up, the dog got there first and ate all the cat sick.
The dog now has diarrhoea

Look up some of the meme photos of Caterpillar cakes. They are hilarious

Sorry your having a tough time

A funny story to tell you while bathing my 2 y/o I needed a pee n he asked me why I had a spider between my legs

😂

I'm moving to a new house on Saturday and I have no idea how I'm going to do that with a teething clingy toddler attached to my hip. I'm surprised me and DH have packed so much in such short notice. I'm annoyed at the amount of crap I've bought my toddler over the past two years and had to give it away to charity and it just made me realise how much £££ I have spent and how I could have gotten myself something nice which I could have used for life whereas all the crap I got for my toddler, he just grew out of it it literally 2 mins.

@Anordinarymum my toddler vomited his tomato sauce pasta lunch all over the cream carpets in my bedroom a couple of hours before the landlord was going to come and check out the house with visitors. If my toddler turned his back and vomited, he could have aimed it easily onto the hallway which is wooden and easy to wipe but no, he had to face forward and aim for the cream carpets. I hope your dog is well and keeping away from the new carpets!

My cats absolute favourite thing ever is milkshake. Preferably caramel or vanilla
Anyway tonight I dropped a full milkshake on the floor, it went everywhere
His little eyes lit up and he was face first into it, paws everywhere as I'm trying to clean the damn stuff up. Couldn't help but laugh

LOL she is actually on my bed now :)

@twoponytails I'm glad I made someone laugh, he's a cheeky wee s*

You guys are amazing, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you! Feeling a bit calmer already 😅

Good you feel better. Now go to bed it is very late

Only weirdos like me are on mumsnet this late

(Those working night shift, up with a baby, in a different time zone etc)

*@Anordinarymum *

Aw now, your cats were only christening the new carpet. Your dog mind - that was very bad!

You should have let him do the clearing up, and just given it a quick wipe when he'd finished. I'm sure there wouldn't be much left.

Well I went into a bit of a tailspin yesterday, had two panic attacks and then fainted, which wiped me out for hours. Going to pick up a prescription of Diazepam tomorrow and do my best to forget about the whole sorry mess 🙏 If that fails I shall come back to this thread and tell you all to make me laugh again 🤪🤣

Handhold from me to you. Panic attacks are the pits.

I'm just chilling out on the bed, not ready to sleep and making lists of what I need / want / to do etc it helps sort out my brain.

I have spent so much money in my head, all I need is the equivalent in my bank account
