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 characteristic in a DP is most important to you?

“Customised Fully Ducted Recirculation”: ie they don’t recommend unducted (as the kit that you have linked to would do) - they don’t want the heat and moisture being dumped into the island to disperse, in case it causes problems with the island over time

There is a risk of explosion and some people have had severe facial burns from doing this.

What shall I watch after this film?

She says 'hearth' to rhyme with 'birth'.

Your DP has completely over reacted and you shouldn't be having sex at a time when your teen could walk in on you. Stop deflecting and take some responsibility.

How should I deal with my cheeky fucker boss?

What about crackers with some kind of spread if you can handle biscuits?

As you haven't been able to make contact with her and no one has seen her in a few days, you could knock on the door, ring the doorbell and then when you don't get an answer (which I'm guessing you won't), you could let yourself in to do a check on her. If she isn't there (and you're definitely 100% sure she isn't there) then pop on a quick wash.

UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa · 15/08/2021 22:28

How did you meet your dp?

"a family reunion of over 20 people, ranging in age from over 70 years old to 7 months old"

Only if there are six people and six roast potatoes - then it is unreasonable. If it is a slice of meat of a piece of fruit off the salad, then it is ok.

I think you should listen to him when he says that he feels like he can't do anything without you criticising. Do you always expect everything to be done your way?
