I'll go first. I've just put a piece of half eaten peanut butter toast on the roof of my car and driven off.
Your turn.

I need more context! Can I also blame Mr Bull?

He’s digging up the road!

I haven’t had to watch Peppa for many years. I don’t miss her.

I am having the time of my life in arrivals waiting on a 3 hour delayed flight

OMG you lucky person. That is truly amazing.

I buy over-priced miniature clothes when every T-shirt I own has a hole in it.

I have random jars full of glitter that I have to keep because they're 'snow globes'.

Oh! We had Peppa Pig with my nephew and as yet we've managed to avoid it with our DC. I'm sure it'll hit us at some point.

I've probably cut the sandwiches the wrong way, squares instead of triangles!

I once held up the hospital gown for an adult patient and said 'put your donnies through there'.
(I'm not sure how widespread it is, but 'donnies' is a colloquial term for hands in the midlands)

My living room is a shit tip and covered in toys.

Digger
Tractor
Unimog
Fire Engine

Very common activity with DC I know except mine are 29,27 and 24.

I also do the emergency braking arm flung across front passenger to save them. Youngest did it to me recently, I was extremely touched and proudWink

This morning I washed a snot-covered bedsheet and I've just removed three cuddly toy dogs and a dinosaur from my coffee table.

Hum dum aga pan.....

We found makka pakka at the beach last night. Lots of piles of stones. My DD was so delighted she vomited on herself 🤦‍♀️

I decided to wear my good dress to the manor resort I was treated to this week. It has been carefully stowed in an appropriate garment bag in my wardrobe and is the nicest thing I own. I sat down to afternoon tea in a beautiful morning room and there was a lovely piano player providing light music, all fab. Go to the ladies room and there was a dry booger finger print on my Good Dress.

I thought we were cleverly avoiding her until the Friday evening I picked her up from nursery during their Friday after tea DVD time and they were watching it there. Explains why there had been squeals of "PIG!" every time we passed some merchandise in the supermarket.

You certainly can! Mr Bull is always digging up the road in Peppa Pig.
