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?

The squirrels like to get pissed on gin where I live (there's a squirrel drinking just before the tree on the photo I took on my way to work one day....)

Yeah. Protein. My HV yelped "but how are you getting protein into her?!?!?" When I replied to her question "how is weaning going?" with "slowly"

I should have mentioned the sticks

next to Marshmallow Fluff and Aunt Bessie's Mash

Thinking about it, I may be expressing my feelings about what incomers have done to the area in a very violent way...

I'm just a misplaced Northerner in an area of the country that is A) Not mine, B) In a National Park &, C) Has therefore been colonised by exactly the sort of sanctimonious fools of which you speak. I went to a children's party where the mother proudly presented a cake that had been made with no wheat or sugar (there was no reason for the abomination, mind you, she's a homeopath, so there were obviously many reasons), I think the look on my face has been spoken about in hushed terms ever since.

Knitting is so very... earnest.

I had crack squirrels where I lived (this may have been an urban myth but I hope ont)

I am cool with knitting as long as no one suggests I knit my own moon cup.

Then I am out of here

One word quorn

Yoko I have crispy pancakes in the freezer - BBD dubious!

Loving this thread
Lessons learned from mumsnet so far-
Dh leaves dirty socks on floor- ltb
Mil bit overbearing- go nc
Elderly neighbour bit annoying - call the police!

wind what colour are they? If green, I might give them an extra minute in the old kitchen-based nuking station

I started one of those "was my tea healthy" threads and swiftly got told I was a cunt Didn't answer my question, mind you.

My children generally only drink milk and water but the big one really loves....................................................................................................................dandelion & burdock.

Get in - Mother of the Fucking Year.

I actually crying Eddie you mf!

Yoko I've not checked, but they're cheese flavour

Stealth boasting eddie!

That must be two of the five a day

Dandelion and Burdock tastes like Germolene and anybody who likes it is a fucking weirdo.

No offense intended to Eddie's DD. Maybe her body is trying to fight an infection.

Got accused of being a teenage boy Must hate men more obviously

The police must think, bloody hell we have a another bloody mumsnetter here.

There must be a special mumsnetter department..

I'm ashamed to admit that my mother used to send me to school with an avocado and a teaspoon for lunch, with a homemade ciabatta roll and houmous on the side.

Needless to say, no one wanted to swap their babybells or twix' for anything in my lunchbox.

She also tie dyed my shoes and I had a rainbow duffle coat.

Can one make dandelion and burdock from scratch? With a soda stream and dandelion fluff?

Only weak bodies need to fight infection Duchesse, if your DCs are infected, you must have been neglecting them.

If she farts one more time tonight I'm going to SHOOT the dog never mind the squirrels. Red or grey.

And "co-sleeping" is a made up thing. Seriously, generations of parents before you have encountered this.

In my day that was called " letting your kids into your bed" and people actually dared to laugh and tell you you were mad.

Because nobody gets a good sleep with a toddler in the bed. Fact.

I love dandelion and burdock, not had it for years. It'll pass the MN test as you can forage for dandelions so that's a bit rustic and shit. I'll have to google burdock I'm a right thicko, first alfalfa ignorance, now burdock.

Ohmihj, that sounds lovely and very like what my poor DC got in their lunches before they begged me for junk food in so many words.

I know a mum with children at steiner free school (wholesome, locally-sourced vegetarian lunches) who doesn't let them eat their free (children are under year 3) school lunches because they're not healthy enough.

Metallic, they're both weeds. As it were.
