Last film I watched at the cinema I’m struggling with as I usually wait until they’re on telly! I think it was the Downton Abbey one where Maggie Smith’s character dies.

I’m enjoying the music questions, so:
What song or songs do you listen to when you’re feeling down in the dumps?

Forgottenmyphone · 26/08/2026 08:54

Upbeat musical/film soundtracks, 60s-80s rock and sometimes power ballads

do you own any pets? If so, what are their names?

I do own a pair of slippers but I generally go barefoot at home. Though I do wear the slippers you get in your hotel room on holiday. I'm a strange bod sometimes!

You must have the same bathroom set up as me as I would have put that too!

Always sausage for me incase they don’t make the fat on the bacon crispy.

Top 3 qualities you look for in a friend or Partner? πŸ˜‚

Funny- Dark /wicked /gallows sense of humour, and can send self up /never get offended , sees humour in darkest places and believes banter/sparring/irony/sattire and generally taking the piss is integral to a good life

Self Awareness - NOT having β€˜main character energy person/centre of own universe’ /constantly reflecting,naval gazing or wanging on about self discovery/being on a journey/rewriting narratives and Is blind to own weaknesses /faults

Enjoys going out, socialising, drinking, food culture and lashings and lashing of travel.

worse β€˜Ick’ ever ?

SaraHoliday · 20/08/2026 19:46

I'm relatively new here so I don't have a lot to reference. More interesting than funny - possibly the lady who wants to meet a Partner, doesn't want to do online dating and says she only leaves the house to go to work. Doesn't want to change anything about her life either. Then when anyone suggested a small step to take, she replied with a slight attitude which was then expressed about by others.... 🀷

Your favourite MumsNet post? Enlighten me!

The one trending currently about neighbours waking up the OP with a ladder for an airport lift is fab
I also love a competitive under-eating thread -with all the classic Mumsnet slogans about losing sight of what is a healthy weight/ couldn’t possible have a whole tin of soup etc

I have typed out a 'raw' answer to this at least 5 times now, then deleted it.
A lighter-hearted one: I wish I had moved to a new area when I was younger. I had the opportunity but didn't take it. I regret that now.
