It's raining, heavily. Been raining for an hour. We're hungry but can't leave verandah because of the sodding rain. It's impressive but we're starving. Are we being unreasonable to wish it would hold up? (lighthearted)

No brollies unless we walk in the rain to buy one. Hindsight is a marvellous thing....

Pictures?

Just walk through the rain. If you’re in a rainforest then it’s hot - you will easily be able to get dry.

Hmm
tooyoungat40 · 17/10/2019 10:04

Stealth boast? I need to go to the shop as I have no bread eggs etc and I'm hungry too but I'm in cold and miserable Bolton...

What's with the kisses @Skyejuly? Did you come over from Nethuns?

BlueBirdGreenFence · 17/10/2019 10:12

What's with the arseholery NoDontLook? Is it because you've came with baggage that makes you feel inferior? Do you need to put other people down to feel good about yourself? That's usually what's wrong with bullies.

NoDontLookAtMeImShy · 17/10/2019 10:13

I went one step further and did a whole thread about it. Xxxxxxxxx

NoDontLookAtMeImShy · 17/10/2019 10:14

And since when does asking someone a question make them a bully?

I didn't ask her why her face looked like a baboons arse. I asked why she put a kiss on the end of her post.

Seriously get a grip and perspective.

tooyoungat40 · 17/10/2019 10:15

I think I see clear sky patches. Fingers crossed. The kids are at war and my last nerve is somewhat frayed.

Well that escalated Grin I just want pictures of the rainforest!

What you having for tea op when it stops?

crustycrab · 17/10/2019 10:16

I bet op has seen some baboons arses in the jungle

tooyoungat40 · 17/10/2019 10:17

Bugger off the thread NoDontLookAtMeImShy there's enough rain here without you pissing on it.

tooyoungat40 · 17/10/2019 10:20

No baboons arses crustycrab but some other monkeys the name of which has left my menopausal brain. Some snakes and some fuck off big beetles and spiders. It has not been a successful trip as far as kids concerned. Dinner will be something and rice or noodles.

It's got heavier again. The emergency biscuits are looking particularly vulnerable

I love tropical rain- it's so warm too! Take off all of your clothes and run around in it!

tooyoungat40 · 17/10/2019 10:29

That would be scarier than the creepy crawlies Lightsabre

I have only just seen this. I have never used netmums and used mumsnet on and off for years.. I didnt even know I put a 'x' probably was replying to a message to a friend or something. I honestly didn't think people cared enough about what people write to even comment on it. Grin
