My life rules

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?

2. Avoid SEMOLINA every day

I'm picturing a kind of nationwide obstacle course.

kudos to the OP for starting this thread even though it may not have worked out the way she planned

[quote CornedBeef451]@RhinestoneCowgirl we have the bum rule too! If you want to sit on the furniture you must wear pants!

I had to do something when both DCs went through a bit of a nudist phase. [/quote]
Does that include pets? 😬

I clicked because I thought it was a triumphant "My life rules!" and I wanted to wallow in a little congratulatory envy...

Don't waste any of your time with shitty men. If a man does Anything to make you feel bad kick him to the kerb.

Really? Are you serious? Have you never heard of vegetarian/vegan food?

Whyyyyyy · 12/08/2021 11:47

Quite. Thread not gone quite as you'd planned, OP?

Keepitonthedownlow · 12/08/2021 11:54

Why is everyone being so nasty? OP didn't say anything terrible, just a discussion starter and subsequent posters who think they are hilarious are piling on. Weird.

Never ever make absolute unconditional rules

  2. Never share my business, esp finances and work, with anyone beyond DP and my 2 DS.
  3. Recycle, reduce and reduce waste where I can.
  4. Enjoy life.

Fancy a Burger King now too.

My only life rule is that ironing should always be done with a glass of wine and in front of either a film or a Royal wedding.
