My life rules

[54321nought]

Things life has taught me

1. Never never never eat white bread, or feed it to children, it just changes to sugar in your body, it is poison!

1. Never never never support slave based industry, eg cannabis, clothing made with child labour, UNNESSESARY TECH UPGRADES, like replacing perfectly good working phones for no reason

1. I'm sure I will think of more. Not much point in going into the environmental ones, like limit meat and diary, and never eat fish, don't drink bottled water etc, much debated elsewhere on Mumsnet

What are yours?

As often happens, the first reply nails it! 😂

1. Don't have rules.
2. If you have some rules, don't preach them to others.
3. Develop resilience and humility when you inevitably break Rule 2 and it backfires.

Salted butter (the fancy kind with flakes of sea salt) on white toast sprinkled with sugar is a standard late night snack here.

Pride goeth before a fuck off fall.

The biggest “slave”, human trafficking, based industry is farming vegetables and fruit though.

Being anti-plastic, meant the over production of metal alternatives like straws, when sourcing and manufacturing metal is more damaging to environment and people near sources.

That’s the thing with hard rules, they don’t scale up.

Be kind

1. Never drink a blue drink
2. No bare bums on the sofa

Eating white bread does seem like a waste of time when you could just go straight to the good stuff.

#BeKind is meaningless without #BeTruthful #BeFair and #BeReasonable.

Sitting reading this eating Warburtons toastie bread with jam. Delicious.

1. Try not to be a twat on the internet.

1. Keep your nose out of what other people eat. See rule 1.

1. Don't demonise food with histrionic statements such as 'poison' when even water can kill if consumed to excess. See rule 1. And rule 2.

• Don't snooze your alarm.

It's useless, no one feels refreshed after those 5 extra minutes. You just feel more stressed because now you're late.

• Reduce decision friction in the morning

The reason why we love routine in the morning is because decision takes a LOT of brain power. And routines are a way to avoid making decisions.

If you avoid fish and limit meat what do you eat.

1. Remember that white bread is better for young children than brown bread as brown makes them feel full even if they aren’t.

1. Don’t be a dick.

I LOVE white bread. Nothing like a lovely toasted slice of Hovis thick cut. I'm 47 and perfectly healthy.
I also love blue drinks, (WKD, Gatorade, anything blue raspberry flavoured). There's clearly no hope for me.

1. All bread is good bread.
2. Don't listen to anyone else's stupid rules.

White bread is poison 😂😂

Try not to scaremonger and over dramatise unnecessarily.

This one.

And always have a plaster in your handbag.

Just here for the comments really.

1. Don’t be a dick

1. Don’t eat bananas in public

1. No bare bums on a white sofa

1. If someone shows them who they are, believe them the first time

1. Never lend out money that you can’t afford to give away as a gift
