I love my sensitivity though for a long time it's something I really wanted to change about myself

Have you ever had to go No Contact with a close relative?

Galassia · 13/08/2021 16:41

No.

Pyjamas or nightdress?

Pineapplepizza83 · 13/08/2021 16:43

Pyjamas

Do you have pets? If so what are they and what are their names?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 13/08/2021 16:54

yes, recently. we had already been low contact but the last selfish thing they did was the worst ever. I'm done

We are invited a big birthday party the hosts were going to cater for. They asked how many of us are going so they'd know how much stuff to buy.
Then last week, out of the blue, we were told we are all supposed to take food or drink, which surprised me, and when I asked what I should bring I was told "whatever you want to make".
Make??? WTAF? I thought we are turning up to a party and that's it, as per usual.
now I'm not only essentially paying for our share I'm supposed to make stuff?
AIBU to be angry at this CF attitude and am I justified to tell the kids to eat their body weight to make my money's worth?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 13/08/2021 16:55

obv last reply wast to "no contact" question.

Chocolatier9 · 13/08/2021 16:55

Two cats: 1. May. 2. The Aldi Kitten (shortened to Aldi), because I found him at about 6 weeks old abandoned in an Aldi car park. One neighbour was a bit shirty about it. ‘You could have called him Waitrose.’ 😂

Have you ever been bitten by an animal?

YANBU to be annoyed. They are taking the proverbial.

Describe yourself in three words which all begin with one of your initials.

Chocolatier9 · 13/08/2021 17:12

(You have six boys, @ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba. If this CF birthday party isn’t an occasion for unleashing and sending them unfed to the buffet table, when is?)

Please tell me that at least one of them is a teenager going through a growth spurt Grin

What quality to do love the most in your partner? ( if single then in your ideal partner)

marmaladehound · 13/08/2021 17:26

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba yeah I'd not be happy about that. CF for sure. It's one thing taking some food/ nibbles but making it as well!!!!??? Bizarre

@Chocolatier9

🤣 it's actually 6 boys & a girl. 4 teenagers, but even they younger ones can eat a lot.
This is no news to the hosts and it's not the first time we've been invited - and when it said "picnic/BYO" on invite I had no issues.
But this was weird.

Anyhoo, thanks for support all of you.
Sorry about selfish little derailing.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 13/08/2021 17:38

most loved quality: trustworthy.
from the moment we met I knew he could be trusted.

Spangles.

Do you or have you ever smoked?

Pineapplepizza83 · 13/08/2021 18:38

No never even tried smoking. One of my best friends from my childhood tried to get me to start when we were about 12 and he is still trying to give up smoking Smile

What do you think are good qualities to have?

Blueberry40 · 13/08/2021 18:39

Unfortunately yes- gave up a few years ago.

Who is the most inspiring person you know?

Good qualities that I value. Sounds a bit twee but I guess the values I try to instil in my kids are kindness, respect for others, integrity and perseverance.

What most irritates you about your DH/DP?

cheapskatemum · 13/08/2021 21:08

He can take offence at something I've said, when absolutely none was meant.

Do you like cricket?

kissmelittleass · 13/08/2021 21:41

Do you feel this year is passing by too quickly?

Galassia · 13/08/2021 21:43

Yes, but I think that every year!
