J'Accuse... I do not believe a sizeable minority on here when they say "I blah blah blah"

[Salmotrutta]

E.g. :-
"I cook from scratch" - I hate "from scratch". We used to say "everything was homemade".

And those of you who state "homemade potato wedges" ? ...yeah, I'm impressed. So that would be some potatoes shoved in the oven then?

Yes it is
Clean towels and bed linen make me happy, damnit!
If scratch cooking does it for you, go forth and batch cook!
If going to the chipper fills you with joy (get me one) Enjoy!
If you'd rather read a book than disinfect your loo, be proud!
If you like to admire your sparkly clean bathroom before slinking into a scented bath, be not afraid!
Don't worry. Be happy! And judge no one who does things differently to you. Lest you be judged in return. (Gospel according to Katie)
That is what this thread is about and I love you all for it.

When I had my first baby I was sanctimonious. By the time I had the third I was too tired to bother.

It was the first nervous breakdown brought on by trying to be perfect that did it for me irian
Up till then, I was insufferable.

KatieScarlett - an excellent philosophy of life! A Desiderata for our times, no less!

katiescarlett you are a legend. If it made me happy I would embroider that onto a cushion. But that would make me angry so i won't do that...i will just read it.

I am literally sneaking off to go on mumsnet whilst batch cooking from scratch whilst letting my children watch telly and eat dry coco pops! I am living the dream. cheers katiescarlett followers!

Have been told I'm nutritionally neglecting my children for not making them eat a packed lunch, I just don't know how I'm going to cope

Clean towels every time here too btw

You just know that posters who bang on about all that shit are as insecure as hell.
Or they work for an organisation that makes profit from it/justifies their existence.
Or are under the mistaken, but honestly held belief that they are educating the masses. Like Jehovas Witnesses insert devout organisation of choice and equally as annoying.
I was the first one. It was not fun but I would have defended my position with everything I had (probably with citations). Because contemplating an alternative would have been too hard to process, since all my self esteem was caught up in being The Worlds Most Perfect Mother

Dixie same in this house. Joys of boys I guess

Katie it's water off a ducks back, just think it's funny how serious people are on here

Evenin' all.

I cooked a fried egg sarnie from scratch tonight.

And the egg was free range...

Bloody hell Sal - go easy!!

Bloody hell Sal - go easy!!

What's that you say WindMe?...

Bloody hate double posting.

Must be due some MN points/awards for that sandwich then

For dinner, practically every night when I moved out of my parents house I had fried eggs on toast. With salt. And ketchup.
It never got old.
And left me with more money to spend on going out and getting pissed/snogging boys.
I loved going to the dancing with my mates all dressed up in my lycra dress and fitted jacket with my big big hair (I was going for the classy hooker look). Extra points if some handsome random asked you up for the last dance. Score if he actually knew how to kiss.
Good times

I used to live on cold baked beans with salad cream mixed in, eaten straight out the tin

Katie I need to know what was in the lovely rustly paper Greggs bag to the right of your sandwich and drink?

I hope it was a Greggsnut, or an iced finger. Lovely!

It was a mini Victoria sponge.
I went for a scone but the sponge won.
Could only eat half of it but it was yum.

Good choice. God I'd love a cake from Greggs right now.

I fell out with greggs when they stopped selling iced splits with fake cream in them. I know have to go for the fairy cake with ring on top instead

The tuna crunch brown bread sandwiches are perfection. Turns out we have all the ingredients to make them here but I CBA.
DD has buggered off till Friday, DH is at work and I have the house to myself. Do I go visit friends? The Gym? Put on Purple Rain and clean out the fridge (I like to clean while this is on, sometimes always I pretend I'm in The Revolution and do the sexeh dance moves).
Ah decisions, decisions and I haven't even thought about lunch yet...
