Come and play my made-up game

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?

What's your favourite thing to order from a takeaway?

"Most delivery drivers make an absolute racket. I hear my deliveries coming even from the other side of the house before they are anywhere near the door bell, and I can tell you what time my neighbours have theirs.

Deliveries are LOUD."

Should I buy some mum boots?

What's your favourite thing to order from a takeaway?

Bella and Duke which comes frozen in brickettes and just looks like mince once defrosted. Keep in a tupperware and use a dog only spoon and it is ok. It doesn't have obvious meaty bits in it that other raw foods have. Alternatively there is dehydrated raw food called Pure which is in a powder form and you just rehydrate with water. Stir. Looks a bit like ready brek. That removes any ick factor or meat aversion if you are non meat family.

Any suggestions for keeping a 10-year-old amused on a 3 hour car journey?

Should I buy some mum boots?

I put nails in all along the top of the window about 6-8" apart, then attached safety pins along the top of a spare duvet cover and simply hooked the (closed) safety pin on to the nails.

So easy to do and no spend.

@SquirryTheSquirrel, you have had so many gems!

How much should I be saving for retirement?

"oh no! Here I am thinking maybe I'm starting too early and I'm actually too late. Thanks anyway. Might try my luck with the terribly named Rainbows and Sprinkles."

Should I go for carpet or tiles in the downstairs loo?

How can I get into the habit of drinking more water?

What's a good activity for a staycation?

Mine is always about helicopters, stolen packages, flashers, parking tickets, more stolen packages, unusual bird sightings, and finally - stolen packages. So dull.

put hideous plastic flowers all over it 🤣

What's this on my DH's back?

What's a good activity for a staycation?

"A fireman pole....for pole dancing."

My husband hasn't spoken to me for ten years. Do you think he still likes me?

How can I get in the habit of drinking more water?

"What size is your tank? In my huge tank I had a real community, including guppies and platys - but I had weather loaches which took care of fry. Another nice option is corys - I love the albino ones. Very hardy and very pretty."

How do I stop dribbling in my sleep?

Good game @UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa

*How can I get into the habit of drinking more water?

Latest medical advice is there is actually no safe level of drinking, but you do you boo!

Would it be OK to wear an ivory trouser suit to my daughter's wedding?

@MilesJuppIsMyBitch

Good game *@UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa*

@MilesJuppIsMyBitch, I thought it had potential, and these answers are really exceeding my expectations!

My husband hasn't spoken to me for ten years. Do you think he still likes me?

I would be keeping him in for at least a month. I would also book him to be microchipped (if he isn’t.)

"I wouldn't. But I wonder how much of this story is exaggerated."

Should I invest in getting the loft converted?

You are dealing with a very 2021 dilemma!

There was another thread about choirs, and someone posted they book out rooms to choirs, and they were getting about half attendance. There's going to be a lot of this.

Google “office in a wardrobe”. Lots of ideas there.

Is a chicken sandwich, a bag of crisps and an apple too much for a child's lunchbox?

I’d order myself a takeaway and eat it all right in front of them. Genuinely. Then I’d tell them why

Why isn't my clematis flowering?

Why isn't my clematis flowering?'

Mine is going through something very similar - disturbed environment due to bathroom refurb and off his food a bit because of the heat. I'm just going to monitor him for the few days after the builders finish but he's drinking water and coming for cuddles so I'm not super worried just yet. He actually really liked a (disgusting) ice cube made out of tuna brine so you could try that to keep fluids up if the weather is really warm.

Was I unreasonable not to split the bill when I only had a starter and some tap-water?
