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?

Have you considered sex parties (such as Killing Kittens) or parties with a playroom (TG, Imaginarium, Sparkle Hard etc)?

Tell everyone they can not stay, the awkward buggers won't go so they will be nice and friendly with you Grin

I always find that a spot of lawn mowing, or diy at 9am is the perfect payback for noisy late night neighbours gathering

What time is the opening day party on @UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa new " mine only" thread?

UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa · 22/08/2021 06:04

@AlCalavicci & @Sweetpea1532, you have to answer with a quote from somewhere else on MN. That's the challenge of the game (some people on here are quite good at it).

@UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa
Hahahalol! I DID quote a previous thread, Salsa!.. I do realise that it wasn't a very good one because it was from a thread where the OP wanted advice on what to do with her CF noisy neighbours Grin
I realised too late that my quote wasn't the least bit clever....Grin

I have to apologise because I also messed up your other "question" thread by not asking you to answer a question about myself...I asked when was Boris going to comb his hair...of course, I could have said, "Salsa, when do I think Boris is going to comb his hair?" And then you could have cleverly answered when you knew I thought Boris was going to comb his hair.Grin

I do seem to recall that I said I was kinda flattered that you thought I'd be able to post on your clever threads.....dyslexia I'm looking at you 😂
Oh well, I'll stop trying to be clever and will just sit back and enjoy the threads.

Sweetpea1532 · 22/08/2021 06:47

@UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa

Boy, you're up early this morning! I see you've been kind and answered my Boris question anyway....2029 you say? ..I guess by then he'll need to be a good example for his teenaged son.

UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa · 22/08/2021 08:11

@Sweetpea1532, oh, I didn't realise it was an actual quote. Your advice was just too good! Grin Carry on, carry on.

If OP is trimming 3-4 times a year, a tickle on green growth is probably all she needs.

DS1 has cream leather. He cleans it every week. No one is allowed in it if they’re dirty, you can’t eat or drink in there either.


Recommend me something relaxing to listen to on the radio.

SquirryTheSquirrel · 22/08/2021 11:34

Singing drunk and off to get some chips before the train home, ok. Throwing up, starting a fight, pissing himself; not ok.

AnotherAardvark · 22/08/2021 11:39

Why is my friend mad at me?

How late did you stay up last night and were they drinking alcohol? This would make a difference

(oops, sorry for cross post, will leave Squirry’s q to be answered)

AlCalavicci · 22/08/2021 13:15

Presumably he’s already had a wee in your suitcase though, as is traditional in these circumstances?

How many slices of cheese on toast us acceptable for lunch?

I've cut my intake to between 1500-1600. I eat 3 meals a day and a snack if I've got time. It's doable
