I will ask for advice, and you have to answer using only a quote from somewhere else on Mumsnet. Then you can ask for the next piece of advice. (best to quote the advice question you're answering in case there's cross-posting)

Okay, first question: What should I wear to my cousin's wedding?

Where might my new kitten be hiding?

It takes a couple of days for them to starve to death. Just wash your bum hole and hands as soon as you get up. Wipe down the touch points in the house (door handles, remotes, phones etc).

You don't feed them if the temps going to be below 4ish. It's bad for them.

Tie one up with net, muck out and put bed back down, swap over and do the other.

free access to grass, and eat veg peelings/bird seed (once they’ve chased the poor pigeons off)

"Do not talk to it. Attention will make it worse.
Assuming of course, that someone is not just stealing from you or trying to wind you up. Have you changed the locks recently?"

I'm hazarding a wild guess you're not too far from me. Always happy to meet for coffee.

Go and enjoy your day and when you get back book a counsellor to help you get some perspective so you can enjoy life more.

How do I get DP to appreciate me more?

How do I get DP to appreciate me more?

If you keep saying no he should soon learn. Mine was reluctant to be too close to me at first, and I could only pet him with one hand. He's an ex stray and I assume he had trust issues. He's lovely now though, asleep leaning on my leg just now.

When is my child old enough to be left home alone?

Only thing that makes them mature is getting their balls off otherwise it's non-stop fights, getting lost and getting the neighbour's pedigree cat pregnant.

It’s a faff but, scoop out insides of the baked potato, mix with chopped fried bacon and grated cheese, scoop back into the potato skins, grated cheese on top, under the grill until the top cheese melts.

What's your Robot vaccum called?

What's your Robot vacuum called?

Jeremy Clarkson with an attitude to match.

He had the latest, top of the range, turbo-charged wheels and complained to the garage because, while he was bombing up the motorway - the terror of the road - he could hear the wind.

Au contraire, dear wise one...I've learnt from a credible source that month can actually be pronounced like " year."..just as Brian can be pronounced as Christopher..
