[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.

Thanks Nostradonna, you love it really
Who doesn’t like a challenge!?
How’s the robes today, it’s getting a bit chillier these days. You may have to layer up!

Oh wise @UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa I have a parcel waiting for me at the post office ( not a scam text thing ) but I am waiting for three different thing one of which I will need help carrying , should I enlist help now or wait to see what it is

@Elieza I will be switching to my (faux) fur-lined robes soon.

@AlCalavicci You should enlist help. Why bother even carrying the little things by yourself?

@UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa , you are right , I wonder if I can get someone to carry me there ( my comfy work boots are still wet so I will have to wear trainers I dont like )

For a number of tedious reasons, I found out on Friday evening that my teenage DS (with awkward sized feet and very specific ideas of what he is prepared to wear) needs new school shoes before Monday but he has been out at an activity until now. If I take him to the small shopping centre nearby will they have something suitable or do I need to prepare myself for a trek to the hell that is the big shopping centre 20 miles away?

@littletinyboxes Try the nearby one first for your own peace of mind, but I'm afraid it's going to be a trip straight to (shopping) hell. The sooner you get it over with, the better!

Now that would be traveling in style !

As it turned out I could just about manage my parcel , it was a Billy Idol jumper and T-shirt .

@AlCalavicci Glad you made it home alright with valuable merchandise like that. You know what they say...There is nothin' safe in this world.

Anyone trying to take Billy Idol Merch off me would get a very swift boot in the pants !

Ah, I see you've had a name change since I was last here, Nostradonna. Did you see that coming? Please, can you tell me if my DH is going to pass his apprenticeship exams? He's working very hard but struggles with writing.

@Fetchthevet Yes, I did know I would eventually be known as Nostradonna.

Your DH will pass his exams. He just needs to stick to the preparations until the very end. He's got this!

@AlCalavicci I know how protective you are of all things Billy.

Thank you @UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa

Why is my 12 ywar old a pain in the arse?

@Fetchthevet

Thank you *@UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa*

@Fetchthevet My pleasure.

@HerRoyalRisesAgain

Why is my 12 ywar old a pain in the arse?

@HerRoyalRisesAgain The general answer is just down to being a preteen. About the specific arsey antics lately, it's because of the adjustment back to school. The issues should fade on their own in about six to seven years.

Thanks nostradonna he's finally taken to backing his books while moaning at me it's stupid. I agree

@HerRoyalRisesAgain Maybe it's time for the very useful parenting book How to Talk So Kids Stop Being Arses and Be an Arse So Kids Stop Talking. I think there's a Kindle version.

What has been my biggest problem today?

Also, I forgot my PIN. Can you help me?
