I've used the tumble dryer more than needed as too lazy to put on the airer as I normally Would. Everytime I put baby down for any time He creates. I think he's coming down with what dd has.

Haven't made our bed

Toddler dd still in her pjs and had ice cream for lunch.. Tbh she's not well and it's all she's wanted.

Made a really short car journey whilst mum was here with kids because again I am truly in a lazy knackered mood.. It took longer to drive and park than would have to walk.

And for tea tonight we're having beige food.. Nuggets and chips..

Let's hear yours.

Repeatedly shouted at my kids to get dressed for school instead of using positive reinforcement or some other bollocks.

Gave them fishfinger sandwiches for tea.

My neighbour turned up unexpectedly at the door, half pissed, I of course invited her in for more wine with my non bra saggy tits hanging about my jammies. I used the toilet brush.... on my OWN shit Shock Gave my kids an angel cake AND animal biscuits as a snack. Swore rather obscenely in front of the dc after dd was accused of something she didnt do, that was nearly my most un-mn moment, I sent him a pretty cuntish fb message that beat round no bush that if he didn't wind his neck in I'd be round there.... the anger just took over

Played Minecraft for the last 2 hours.

Ironed my bloke’s shirt.

Dropped DD to nursery one road up - because it was raining, in the SUV 😱

Had papa johns for dinner

DD had chocolate buttons & a kinder egg today, as well as pizza for dinner.

Left my kids sleeping in the car to pay for petrol.

Had a fag.

I ate food on a train today!
I also wore tracksuit bottoms out in public!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 28/02/2020 22:35

Currently eating a "yum yum". For those of you not in Scotland, its a long bit of pastry smothered in icing sugar. It's definitely at least a million calories.

The first place I ever saw and therefore learned of the existence of yum-yums was in a lovely bakery in Bude, Cornwall - so they have them way down south as well!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 28/02/2020 22:37

I did a presentation to quite a large group and I kept saying "You guys." I considered using "All y'all" but I just can't carry it off with an English accent.

What is the correct MN phrase when addressing a group?

Deeply saddened that you have to ask but it's "Good afternoon - I am Angela Hernandez" (as long as that isn't actually your own name) Grin

And if anyone starts giggling I'll know they're a Mumsnetter.

It is considered appropriate to wear tracksuit bottoms out in public* as long as you are engaged in a sporting activity, or have suffered an injury that makes wearing non sporting clothes impossible.

*Unless they are pink, glittery or have a word such as 'babe' or 'foxy' across the arse.

WagtailRobin · 29/02/2020 00:07

I had a "sick day" without really being sick.

I wore the same jeans that I had worn on Tuesday and they hadn't been washed.

I didn't visit any Russell Group universities.

The pearls my investment banker husband bought me didn't get "clutched" today.

HoomanMoomin · 29/02/2020 01:10

Used the loo brush. Grin

Seren85 · 29/02/2020 01:14

I went to a Body Shop party, drank prosecco, enjoyed it and bought things!

MusicTeacherSussex · 29/02/2020 01:16

Went out with a married Male friend and left DP at home. Had more than two drinks. Gosh.

MusicTeacherSussex · 29/02/2020 01:16

Forgot to put my pearls on and clutch them!!!

PenelopePissedstop · 29/02/2020 01:18

Answered the door to strangers, twice !

BitOfFun · 29/02/2020 02:22

I went out in my pyjama bottoms (although they look like trackie bottoms) to the hairdressers, with my slippers in my bag so I was comfy.

BritWifeinUSA · 29/02/2020 03:02

Are something that wasn’t “bulked up” with lentils.

BritWifeinUSA · 29/02/2020 03:02

Ate something, not are something

Samtsirch · 29/02/2020 03:15

Laughed hysterically at some of the posts and felt proud of myself for not posting the first thought that popped into my head....

TheClitterati · 29/02/2020 03:17

I went for a coffee/chat with a friend at 10am and then stayed there until school pick up time - INSTEAD OF GOING TO WORK!

And no I will not be "making the hours up".

Grin🖕🏼

Zisforstripyoss · 29/02/2020 06:57

I cleaned all the loos with a loo brush yesterday. And took a mini cupcake for my DD2's after school snack. Oh and let my DD1 take makeup to a friend's house.

canihaveacoffeeplease · 29/02/2020 07:11

I'm pregnant and not at all delighted about it! I have a cold, seem to have developed carpal tunnel syndrome this past week, am working extremely long hours doing pretty physical work (own business) as it's a very busy time for us, husband is out every night (see business...) so I have to do 2x bedtimes alone and I'm bloody exhausted and want a huge glass of yummy wine. Rant over. Also, I haven't cleaned the loo, with or without my loo brush, and haven't made my bed.
