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?

What about the little grows on every street ? Surely they are just locals growing their own stash and selling a bit?

1. LIMIT THE USE OF UNNECESSARY CAPITALS.
2. Duvet days are awesome and should be scheduled in regularly.
3. Try to eat healthily, but also embrace the junk food days.

Most importantly- it's ok to cut off people who are bad for you. You don't owe it to anyone to be miserable.

Never ask an Englishman/Englishwoman to discuss anything seriously.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia

Very wise

@Hilda40

Try not to be a sanctimonious twat

I love this.

Treat other people as I’d like them to treat me
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Live every day as if it’s the last
Take pleasure in small things

Never be the one who says "I'll put it on my credit card and you can all give me the money for your share"

Most UK cannabis is not grown by nice hippies with a couple of plants in their attic.

Most UK cannabis is farmed intensively in houses which are run by criminal gangs, with a slave workforce.

You win the internet today

my life rule "dont be a dick"

and "say what you mean. mean what you say. and dont be mean when you say it"

My stuff is stuff everyone else’s stuff is shit.
Eg
“I’ll just grab my stuff and we can go”
Vs
“Will you please remove all your shit from the living room!”

1. There is always an exception to the rules.

2. You shouldn't always follow rules blindly.

Do not talk about Fight Club.

1. Never trust a dog with orange eyebrows
2. Never wear white after Labour Day
3. Never embroil Bertie Wooster in a fiendishly difficult plan to reunite thwarted lovers
4. Always ask Jeeves instead
5. Always buy the bestest toilet roll you can afford

Totally agree!

And never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ahahahahahaha… ☠️

Regarding white bread: So, go ahead, poison me, I will die smiling.

French toast

Fried bread

Cheese toasties

Bread and butter pudding

Summer pudding

Cucumber sandwiches

Never end a post with a random extra number.

I cannot agree more with what @Hilda40 said !

@RhinestoneCowgirl

1. Never drink a blue drink

1. No bare bums on the sofa

Rules we should all live by

Everything in moderation - except white bread, you can have as much white bread as you want.

What's the AIBU angle on this? Having or not having rules? Or the nature of the rules? My rule is, if in doubt, vote YABU, so ...

my life rules

1. always have buttery white toast in the morning
2. only buy fast fashion
3. ALWAYS UPGRADE TECH

If having toast it must be white with lashings of lurpak

These are my life rules. Have been compiling since I was 24.

1. Never trust a man wearing cowboy boots

1. Don't drink out of anything bigger than your head.

1. If a man says something is "the opportunity of a lifetime" - it is lies.

That's all that have stood the test of time for me so far.

I just keep trying to put one foot in front of the other to be honest.

A little of what you fancy does you good.

Alas, I find that -

A little of what you fancy is never enough of it.
