My house is filled with special sticks. And special gravel. And special leaves.

I start a new job on Monday and have spent a disproportionate amount of time fantasising about how quiet my solo commute is going to be.

I spend 40% of my take home pay for the person I love most in the world to be out of the house from 8.30 to 4pm Monday to Friday, for 39 weeks of the year.

About to put my fleece in the washer and on emptying my pockets I've found a block of lego, a small car and an interesting rock from mine and DS walk that I was keeping safe. 😌 His pockets are full of interesting treasures...

Pissed on, shat on and puked on - in one day.

I know all the words to the songs on cocomelon 🤯

Sitting alone in the car on the driveway for 5 minutes staring into the middle distance after returning home is considered "self care"

I'm not even 30 but grey as anything already (and it does not run in my family at all, they're all dismayed!!)!

The toilet roll goes 1 metre down from the holder and we don't have an Andrex puppy.

5 Vinted deliveries arrive each day and the contents of 1 room are like the world's largest floordrobe.

I say “time to go, sweetie” when I live the house. Alone. For work.

frecklejuice · 15/09/2023 13:06

I'm constantly driving but not actually going to anywhere I need to want to be!!

SomersetBrie · 15/09/2023 13:06

I quite often ask my work colleagues if they "need a wee" before we head to a meeting.

@Sosbanfachtheresatellyinmybath @Whereland I get excited when I see a digger! Or a bulldozer or cement truck.

I can recite Goodnight Moon and There's a Wocket in my Pocket off the cuff
