I'm on holiday and had a massive salad. I couldn't finish it.

What MN cliche have you done today?

DH and I have been out doing our top secret immediately outing completely unique hobby.

I also then dithered about something and came up with multiple scenarios instead of holding a two minute conversation that would clear everything up.

I may end the day with a massive salad.

Had a doorstep argument with a neighbour about parking today (not even involving her vehicle, just mine where another random neighbour drove into mine and got stuck). She came to my doorstep, btw. Doorstep argument recorded by doorbell camera, of course. I just need to draw a diagram, working on that. If I was a social media fan I would absolutely post the footage! But I'm not so won't!

My carer arrived this morning. (Apparently, unlike most MN's) mine is lovely. But she didn't clean or do her usual things. She just mopped me up emotionally. And dealt with everything and refused to be paid. Okay, so not very MN! She was the one who saw my car stuck by the neighbours and was WTF and 'had words'.

I ignored the doorbell this afternoon ^see above.

Oh! I forgot the neighbour's note through my door. Which I should have shown to shouty neighbour. So neighbour, interfering neighbour, note, damaged car - parking!

Keeping tally -
Parking
Neighbours
Notes through door
Carer/cleaner
Diagram to follow (and video footage if required 🙄😬)

I haven't bought a chicken to cook, but I do have some sliced ham that I'm hoping will stretch six weeks for meals (hehe).

No cats here. I've manged to get rid of them with my 'Super Soaker' water gun.

Add to tally - cats.

I'm also overweight and seeking advice, single, have adult DC but have been here from year dot. Well, when they were dots!

Married and divorced twice, uprooted and moved away, family (including DC, one who is NC) hours away. Elderly parents, sibling...

How am I doing?!

Do I pass the MN test?!

(Just at the bottom this weekend - and my bottom reached there faster than I expected because my bottom is very saggy!)

I told my MIL she was crossing boundaries by calling to our house unannounced

Well done.

CharlotteRumpling · 01/10/2023 16:31

Why are there dogs everywhere? They are so unhygienic.

Soundsmadeup · 01/10/2023 16:31

I just bumped into 2 mums from school having coffee. I gave them a passive aggressive grilling about how they came to be there and I will now assume they're cliquey bitches who went out of their way to exclude me.
( Not really, had a quick chat & went about my day 😜)

I'm wondering whether or not to post a photo of myself and ask you all to guess how old I am.

You’re either 55 or 68.

adriftabroad · 01/10/2023 16:33

I gave my head a wobble and picked up some bits for a picky tea.

ReeseWitherfork · 01/10/2023 16:33

@OldTinHat you didn’t pass, you spectacularly failed at “sliced ham”. Don’t you know it’s carcinogenic. And a UPF. I don’t know how you can eat such crap. I hope there are no DC involved.

Give your head a wobble.

JFDIYOLO · 01/10/2023 16:35

I did a tinkly laugh at a CF and am considering submitting a diagram

BlueThursday · 01/10/2023 16:36

I spat my tea out

JFDIYOLO · 01/10/2023 16:36

Also I will be down the school demanding answers first thing tomorrow morning

Madamwahselle · 01/10/2023 16:38

🤣🤣🤣

adriftabroad · 01/10/2023 16:38

I am 53 and just got asked for ID buying wine. Its because I am so short and slim. 😫What to do?

Lulu1919 · 01/10/2023 16:39

I need to buy a MN chicken....ill add it to my list
Today I didn't give up cake

I spat my tea out

I snorted mine... all over the keyboard!

adriftabroad · 01/10/2023 16:41

... DH says he agrees and snorted too.

AceofPentacles · 01/10/2023 16:43

I didn't come home last night

Puppygate · 01/10/2023 16:44

I sat on the bed in my outdoor clothes whilst wondering if I can leave my sheets a couple more months before washing them.

Beginningless · 01/10/2023 16:26

Spent far too long googling and reading MN threads trying to help me decide if a blue line on a pregnancy test read long after it should’ve been, could be positive Blush

Well, you're probably 1 day post ovulation so you'll have all the symptoms.

Maireas · 01/10/2023 16:45

I'm 63 and keep being mistaken for a teenager. It's just awful.

Vitriolinsanity · 01/10/2023 16:46

I walked into a friends house having arrived unannounced and fid not remove my shoes.

Porridgeislife · 01/10/2023 16:47

I’ve washed and dried my bedsheets twice and towels three times since getting out of bed/the shower this morning. Any less frequently is minging, you’re basically marinating in poo crumbs.

TomatoSandwiches · 01/10/2023 16:48

I gave DH a penis portion sized lunch.

sexnotgenders · 01/10/2023 16:48

Juliet55 · 01/10/2023 16:48

@ReeseWitherfork 55, but I'm hoping you'll all tell me 25, though I know, in true mumsnet style, I'll get a lot of comments saying 85!
