Put the cats food bowls in the dishwasher with all the rest of our stuff.

Let the cat sleep on my bed.

Eat fried eggs with mash potatoes

Wear crocs

Never iron

Hello me.

Suck all the juice out of the satsuma segment before eating the empty sac and then nibble on the left over peel mmm love satsumas why are they so hard to find these days

Mixing salad cream and mustard together. I love both,but find mustard a bit too hot,and salad cream a tad bland. Mixing them together makes my perfect sauce. The way since people have reacted on seeing me do this,you'd think I'd done something vile beyond belief!

Eating marrowfat peas, baked beans and new potatoes cold, straight from a tin 🤭

WhackingPhoenix · 13/05/2022 02:24

Salt and vinegar crisps on doorstep white tiger bread with lashings of cream cheese.

TheWayoftheLeaf · 13/05/2022 03:08

I've put hot sauce on ice cream before Blush

I usually get up around 4/5am despite having no kids. I like the early morning peace and do my best work or exercise at this time.

Frozen mash and onion bisto - food of the gods and saw me through 10 weeks of shocking pregnancy nausea

my two dogs sleep in bed with us. One of them under DH’s pillow. This will continue when our baby is born. I hate it when dogs become second class citizens when a woman has a baby

Brown sauce on toast

Giving my daughter (2 years old) food from my plate. So if she's eaten all her broccoli for example and wants more she gets some of mine. FIL has been known to leave the table mid meal in horror over this. Not sure if he has a point, maybe there's some etiquette thing I'm missing here 🤔

Seems fine to me! Well done for getting her to eat broccoli- my DS eyes it with utmost suspicion 😆

Scrape the crispy baked-on burnt bits off the oven dish and eat them. Best bit.

Yep!! Especially melted cheese

GreatCuppa · 13/05/2022 06:24

Instant noodles, the kind you get in the world food section. Cook, add the seasoning, drain, add a tin of tuna and sweetcorn.

My DM likes a fried egg and marmite san.

Would this be a safe space to say that I never had a shower yesterday ?

SquirrelFan · 13/05/2022 06:49

@TheYearOfSmallThings You should try peanut butter and pickle (the American kind, not sweet). So good.

TheBlessedCheesemaker · 13/05/2022 06:52

The ultimate sandwich: white bread, butter, condensed milk.

Chikapu · 13/05/2022 06:52

I like to spread peanut butter on ready salted Pringles, pretty sure that's not an abomination though.

This reminded me of someone I know who eats kiwis whole, skin and all - just bites into it like an apple

DS2 eats the whole strawberry. Stalk, leaves and all.

He doesn’t understand why other people don’t.

Pinkmagic1 · 13/05/2022 07:12

Leave my washing on the line overnight and not rewashing it if it gets rained on!

lightand · 13/05/2022 07:12

I only eat Hei nz baked beans. Rest are rubbish.

DH, on one of those jam before cream or cream before jam scone things, only does jam before cream. If served with the other way around, he scrapes everything off, and puts it the "right way". Else he doesnt eat it!

Mini cheddars dipped in coffee. So good but I get horrified faces when I do it in the office

I dip chunks of mature cheddar into my coffee. Bloody lovely.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 13/05/2022 08:40

Former dog (RIP) was always on our bed.
Former cat (also RIP) was always walking on the worktops, prior to yowling at the cat food cupboard in the hope of magicking some out - and I never bothered disinfecting worktops.

Loo brush beside every loo.
Shower curtains for both baths with showers over.
And dh and I share bath towels. I remember some MNer saying she couldn’t possibly do that, eeewww! - it’d have his dead skin cells on it! Presumably that was someone she had sex with, but each to her own….

Not me, but a colleague, when we were comparing non-super-hygienic habits - said she had been known to wipe her kids’ faces with the floor cloth, when there wasn’t another immediately handy.

Me too
it’s the best!

what is wrong with loo brush and bin?
how is one supposed to clean the loo? Or a guest?

this is one of my favourite threads ever. I have so many weird combinations to try now

I’ve just re-read this and I’d like to clarify that I don’t clean guests with the loo brush…

patiently awaiting @ElenaSt to update her on the origins of her ‘abomination’

autienotnaughty · 13/05/2022 12:20

I'm funny about bread. I will eat fresh cut loaf, baguettes, rolls and sourdough. I won't eat pre packaged bread or processed bread except wraps, pittas and bagels. After the first day I will only eat it toasted and then only for two days.
