I know everything about you. AMA: Thread 2

[UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa]

Continuing the original thread from [[https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/4273553-I-know-everything-about-you-AMA?pg=1 here]. I'll be answering questions on the original thread until it's full.

@Clawdy

Thank you!

@Clawdy, please remember to include me on the dedication page.

Ooh, definitely!

I know some of you have a deep-seated need to call me Donna, and I'm okay with that. After all, I DO kNNow All.

Thank-you!
All bow down to the ultimate font of all knowledge that is Donna!
Purple! Favourite colour in this house....woo.

@Clawdy

Ooh, definitely!

Thanks! 👍

Dear @UnlimitedDonnaKebabAndCoke how long will I exclusively breastfeed for? I mean exclusive of bottle, not solids.

Sorry, so many questions...why do I always have to buy pants in a larger size than I actually am (plus other clothes)? Obvs a size 12!!
I mean is Asda just getting it wrong?
Maybe try Tesco?

@ItsOverFlo I knew purple would be a hit!

Dear *@UnlimitedDonnaKebabAndCoke* how long will I exclusively breastfeed for? I mean exclusive of bottle, not solids.

@BakeOffRewatch As long as it's working for you. If you've made it to six months, that's a great achievement, and anything after that is a bonus. Keeping it going after returning to work is doable, but the stress from faffing about with pumping might not outweigh the benefits. Go with your gut.

Can you answere a question for my cat?

Mew meeew meoww errp ERRP mewoowww. Moaw

@ItsOverFlo The more questions, the merrier!

They're all getting it wrong. You know how food products are secretly shrinking to hide price increases? The same is happening with clothing. Your only option is to sew your own, preferably from old curtains like in the Sound of Music.

@AlCalavicci

Can you answere a question for my cat?

Mew meeew meoww errp ERRP mewoowww. Moaw

@AlCalavicci and @AlCatavicci Of course (and what a cutie)!

Meow, mew MIAOW MIAOW mew. Meow meow? MEW!! Miaow miaow purrrrrr.

Meow meew mowww errp

( as you can see by his open mouth he never shuts up ! )
He loves his new name

@AlCalavicci He looks shocked that I answered his question correctly (he shouldn't be).

I am not quite sure what you and my cat are saying however if you just told him he's going to be a dad I will not be impressed

Your cat is GORGEOUS @AlCalavicci. How old is he?

I’m going to have to ask for a clarification salsa, my question’s perspective is that I’m desperate to stop breastfeeding but I can’t get baby (still under 1yo) to drink formula whether that be a bottle, or a cup. I’m really starting to hate doing it. Baby can tell I’m attempting formula from a mile off and flies out of my lap at the sight of white liquid! Next attempt is to spoon feed with rusk.

@AlCalavicci He asked me not to share the details of the answer with you, and I really must respect his whiskers wishes.

Will a house move happen?

@BakeOffRewatch That is rough! The best thing to do is start a thread about it to get some advice. But some possible solutions from the Donna Kebab are hiding when it's feeding time and having DH try to give formula. Or trying to serve pumped/expressed milk in a bottle/cup so only the drinking method is different, not the taste (though pumping is easier said than done for a lot of people). Good luck! I know you'll figure something out.

@mamma2babbas

Will a house move happen?

@mamma2babbas It's looking good for next year.

@BakeOffRewatch , I wish I could post a soundtrack of him meowing he may look cute but by god he's got a loud voice for such a small cat my neighbours can hear him through the walls ! He is about 2.5 yrs old

@UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa my cat really appreciate your discretion but may come to you in a few weeks time to see legal advice on maintenance payments and paternity leave.

( in truth he is a house cat there's never set paw outside the house unless he's been on
lead with me)

Thank you @UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa

Oh mine is 3! My cat looks like yours @AlCalavicci, my baby gets so excited when cat walks by, will smile at the cat trying to get it to talk, but cat keeps distance and often just gets up and leaves really rudely whenever baby enters room! It’s the saddest unrequited love story I’ve ever seen.

I’m looking for a cuddly toy that looks like our cat, any ideas? Funnily enough really struggling! There’s a retired I.e. overpriced jellycat black and white cat soft toy.

Thank you @UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa, I just need to persist!

Whoops forgot to post a question for the all knowing so will ask two to make up for double post

Will I ever venture into AIBU?

What is my favourite form of travel?

Will my house purchase go through soon?
How much time does my old horse have left?
