I used to be a party animal. LOVED clubbing every weekend (multiple times a week as a student), would dance for hours and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Tonight I am sitting in my cuddle chair putting chewits down my bra to warm them up before I eat them.
I’m home alone.

How life has changed.

Make me feel better, what weird stuff do you do that no one else knows about?!

I taught myself the dance to Beyoncé’s Formation and when I’m in the house on my own I put it on YouTube and do it!

So that's what I'm now doing on my week off in November...

I sing like I'm doing an actual public performance: stood up, 'mic' included.

I put raspberries on my cereal by biting and spitting them out rather than use a knife.

I keep ratty old underwear with holes in. I even hid them back in the day when a new boyfriend came to stay. I was afraid he would see them in my underwear drawer. Don't know why I didn't just chuck them. I'm just a weirdo.

Yas!

Steak Fray Bentos pie and then a chocolate Angel Delight for afters (a full pack, as it doesn’t serve 4) would be heaven.

I give my cat daft names. Right now he is Mr Fatty Fluff. Yesterday he was Sir Cuddlington. He isn’t impressed but it’s how I get my kicks nowadays.

MalfunctioningRobot · 25/09/2021 22:30

I have to always sleep under a duvet, even in 30 degree heat, otherwise the monsters will get me.

When I leave the house without the dog I always tell her she’s in charge and how long I’ll be gone for. I worry she’ll panic I’m not coming back if I don’t tell her.

MydogWillow · 25/09/2021 22:31

@ConsulTremas

I have a secret, shameful love for Fray Bentos pies. I don’t do it often but sometimes if I’m home alone and I know everyone will be out for bit, I go buy one, cook it and eat it. I then dispose of the packaging so no-one will ever know.
Same with Pot Noodle...shhhhhh
BibiBlocksberg · 25/09/2021 22:32

LadyMonicaBaddingham & all who communicate with their furry companions 💕 💗 💕

Same happens here although w/out the reply voices enacted by the hoomin cos of course, conversational replies from kitties are perfectly understood here :)

Can recommend the adapted performance of UB40’s Rat in the Kitchen at Dinner time.

‘There’s a Cat in the Kitchen what am i gonna do’ ‘There’s a Cat in the Kitchen what am i gonna do? ‘I’m gonna feed the Cat that’s what i’m gonna do, i’m gonna feed the Cat dooby dooby

The puzzled faces are priceless :)

Another Frey Bentos pie lover here. Happily eat a whole pie but it must be served with tinned green beans and Smash (absolutely no fresh veg, it spoils it).

@4BlueTowers

I can't have any part of my body hang over the edge of the mattress when sleeping. I am worried someone with an axe under the bed will chop off whatever overhangs.

I am 49.

Well, this is unhelpful. I can only sleep with one foot hanging out of bed and I didn't know about the axe-person.
MeredithGreyishblue · 25/09/2021 22:34

@DangerousCity I have to empty the dishwasher in the time it takes to boil the kettle! I commentate on my own performance too.

moofolk · 25/09/2021 22:35

I mark punctuation with tiny finger movements while people are talking.

BaronessKareness · 25/09/2021 22:37

I remember having a long and detailed chat with my DH about wether the dogs’ voice would be in German if (and when😮) she ever spoke! ( German Shepherd Dog )
It then developed into wether she would have a girly voice - as
she was so ‘pretty’ and fluffy and girly looking… or wether it would be a gruff barky dog sort of voice…
It was a serious discussion…
The subject of this discussion was asleep on the sofa next to us!

Paperthinwalls · 25/09/2021 22:37

My internal dialogue is as if I was a radio program co-host. It has been for years as I always wanted to be a radio presenter.

A month or so ago I co-hosted a podcast with Danny Baker. I was brilliant, the years of practice paid off.

LemonSherbetFancies · 25/09/2021 22:37

@LethimHaveIt
Laughing so hard at yours. Totally brilliant, the imagery is too funny Grin

DoubleEx · 25/09/2021 22:37

Have a watch of this. Fast forward to 13.30 - it’s amazing!

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 25/09/2021 22:38

I do actions to the theme song from Big Bang Theory.

DoubleEx · 25/09/2021 22:38

That was supposed to be to @OuiOuiBonjour.

SisyphusDad · 25/09/2021 22:39

@CheeringMeUp

Why on earth do you ask your cat if they'd like some Dreamies?

I mean when you know the answer's always going to be 'yes', why do you bother asking?

MydogWillow · 25/09/2021 22:41

On the rare occasion I get that funny high pitch ring in my ear I say "testing, testing, one two, one two".

Kintsugi16 · 25/09/2021 22:41

I’m 58
I frequently gate crash parties. Everyone just assumes I know someone else 😂

FiveShelties · 25/09/2021 22:41

I sit or stand up the Teddies in shops if they have fallen over or are face down.

I am 65 and almost grown up.

Gonna take more than a week!

Everywhere I go - nando's, the cinema, train, bars etc. I make a plan in my head how to escape if there is a terrorist attack.

I also, a bit too regularly, plan which songs will be played at my funeral then play them on YouTube and cry and imagine the words people will say about me.

I also watch livestreams of complete strangers funerals and cry. I think I have some psychological issue around death tbh.

adoreyou · 25/09/2021 22:42

My husband and I have rescued abandoned cuddly toys before and are known as "the teddy bear rescue" teddies.
They'd been left on the pavement, in the cold and rain... so went out run night and picked them up!

We also name our cars, and I cry whenever we sell them. 🥺
