Confessions you can’t tell anyone IRL

[Romitofrincone]

I’ll start.

I faked a covid test at couple of years ago with red felt tip. It was Boxing Day and we were supposed to be driving 7 hours across the country in the wind and rain to stay for the rest of the Xmas holidays with PILs in their cold dirty joyless house with alcoholic FIL and PITA MIL who thinks children should eat porridge for breakfast and a tangerine is a treat. Leaving our lovely warm house with a fridge still filled with Xmas food and treats.

We didn’t go and spent one of the most relaxing weeks ever eating, watching TV and playing board games.

Still don’t think enough time has elapsed to admit to DH though. I will one day!

COVID's had its silver linings!

I'd have done the same.

I miss being able to use covid as an excuse 🤣

I have a stressful job and sometimes need to work late and over the weekend.

Agreed with DP that I work late on Tuesdays and Thursdays while DP sorts out the kids tea and bedtime alone.

On Tuesdays I work late and on Thursdays I tell my boss I need to leave early and go for a walk, or see a friend, or go for a quiet drink and sit scrolling through Mumsnet.

I got two speeding fines in days of each other. Both on the road near my work. Which goes 40,30,60,30 in quick succession I wasn't deliberately speeding I'd thought I was doing the correct speed. I told family about the first one but didn't mention the second one. I did a course for one and took fine and 3 points for the other (very lucky course was offered) no one knows I did the course so when dh does his insurance I can say correctly how many points I have. I now just do 30 unless I'm sure I'm in the 60 zone.
