My sister blanched artichokes in the office at midnight, do you think that I should be worried?

EwwSprouts · 23/02/2021 22:19

Did she put it in labelled Tupperware in the office fridge?

no. perfectly normal.

I'm more concerned about why you haven't blanched your artichokes yet... :/

Dear MNers,

Thank you for all of your inspirational posts. I am going to digest them and will report back on what comes out the other end.

Yours,

@Emptybox

The colour blue was invented by a doctor in 1878. His descendants later gifted it to a grateful NASA in 1953 to use for the sky, which until then had been a rather insipid translucent grey.
it's true. i was the sky.

OP, why not put chester draws in front of your radiators? Might solve the problem.

froot shoot and a gregs sausage roll will do to wean baby on...

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 24/02/2021 02:58

Talking of Greggs, AIBU to be extremely offended that the young man behind the counter in Greggs proffered me a Vegan sausage roll when I asked for a sausage roll?

My shit partner, who was shit when we met, is being shitty to me. Do you think this will change? We have a baby. Aibu to want to have more babies with him? He doesn't want any more. He's a shit dad now too but I think this new baby will bring an end to his shitty attitude. What do you think wise mumsnetters? Hand hold pls.Flowers

JWBritHEatYerHeartOut · 24/02/2021 07:22

A man was in front of me paying for a sandwich. He turned to leave, smiled at me and said sorry as he walked past. I think it was because I was standing in his way but aibu to have told him to fuck off for daring to speak to me?

MNers: YADNBU! I'd have knocked him down for daring to stand in front of me paying for shit in the first place. How dare a man be in the same space as me. I bet he also said "man here", the misogynist bastard!

AIBU to ‘...ask whether an 18 figure SALARY isn’t enough to LIVE on in LONDON?’ As a 25 year old tall, slim blonde woman wearing expensive clothes, whose age, hair colour, build, height and clothing tastes aren’t at all relevant here, I’m concerned about being labelled ‘out of touch’ or ‘clueless’ last night. I’m worried there might be growing anger among mum’s groups who will BLAST my blatant BOASTING about my LIFESTYLE.
PS, I’m absolutely, no way, never, ever, cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die, NOT a lazy Daily Mail journalist. Or Sarah Vine.

My DS (12) spat in a child’s eye, pushed them over and stamped on their head at school today. He then used a long piece of wood with a nail through the end to render three teachers unconscious. Eventually, the school called the police, by which time DS had burnt down the main building. He is now in a secure unit.
The police had to use a dart gun from a zoo to subdue him. Apparently it was the only way ‘..we could stop the crazy little fucker.’
The school is now closed. Apparently it will take ‘extensive repairs and possibly a full rebuild. The resulting explosion moved the hall 4 inches sideways off its foundations’.
When I emailed the school to complain that my DD (17) will now have to drive the Range Rover (two years old before you accuse me of stealth boasting) slightly diagonally across the road to the new school, the headteacher replied ‘oh for fuck’s sake!’
AIBU to complain, or should I move them to a state school?

On a different note, Bryan Ferry has never travelled on a vessel from one land mass to another via a body of water. Who is the CF here?

stampsurprise · 24/02/2021 07:50

I think it’s high time an MN prefect came along and reported this whole thread! Outrageous!!!!! Shock

Rupertbeartrousers · 24/02/2021 07:56

Don’t worry we can fill up the thread with lemon drizzle and sloe gin recipes to pull the wool over their eyes

I'm so ugly and I feel terrible. I know I have all the beauty markers though, ffs I'm slim, blonde, young, blonde and slim...did I mention blonde? - All one needs to be beautiful. Everyone says I'm gorgeous and stunning because of these 3 keys to beauty but I don't feel it. I need MNers to validate me some more.

You really need to post a photo and let us guess your age Grin
JWBritHEatYerHeartOut · 24/02/2021 08:10

I was going to do that and ask how do I look but I don't think it's in the spirit of mumsnet.
