@RickRude

Today we had an emergency plumber come in to fix our bathroom leak. Made small talk and asked if he had far to travel. He lives about an hours drive away so as he left, I told him to make sure he goes for a wee first. I was honestly mortified the second it came out of my mouth, I’m just so used to saying it to the dc every single time we leave the house 😩
I said this once to my DC and Dh while we were all visiting my father. Every male in the room (Inc DF) nodded and got up to go for a wee Grin

@PeeAche

Sometimes, I snack on foods that have already been inside another person's mouth. And call it "lunch"
Thank fuck I'm not the only one who've standards have dropped this far. Thank you - I feel seen 🤣

I'm absolutely exhausted but never get more than a 3 hour stretch of sleep.

I’ve never been to the cinema alone in 26 years and not seen a film there with an age rating 15 or over in all that time

@Immunetypegoblin OMG I have the same two on my nightstand. Do you want to compare degrees of desiccation?

Most of my wees in the last 5y have had an audience. Either looking like “Ewww, what’s that spot / hair on your leg?” or banging on the door “Let me in I desperately need a wee I know I didn’t 2 min ago but I swear if you don’t let me in right now I will piss on the carpet or worse”.

I haven’t had a bath in nearly 2 years

Piemam · 06/02/2022 20:46

Like @SeaToSki, I rock from side to side when I have a mixing bowl in my arms. Grin

Floydthebarber · 06/02/2022 20:49

I cheerfully say "green man!" when crossing the road on my own.

I also quite often have a bag full of special leaves and twigs.

Spaghettipie1 · 06/02/2022 20:51

@SmallOrFarAway

anyone: 'thank you' Me, singing: 'what can I say except, you're welcome!'
I'm definitely going to be doing this from now on 😂

I have watched every Ben and Holly numerous times (and enjoy them).

KurtWilde · 06/02/2022 20:53

When you realise you're emotionally invested in this episode of Paw Patrol even though the toddler nodded off 5 minutes ago..

Loved Ben and holly! Really miss it. Might go and watch it on my own….

Everyone is asleep so why have I been watching Peppa Pig for the last hour!

KitBumbleB · 06/02/2022 20:58

I have a favourite episode of Peppa Pig

I push the supermarket trolley forwards and backwards in a soothing motion whenever I pause to look at items on tje shelves.

BritishDesiGirl · 06/02/2022 20:58

I no longer need to chew my food, l swallow it whole.

KurtWilde · 06/02/2022 21:00

I have a favourite episode of Bing.

It's the one where Flop is just trying to make himself a bloody coffee and every single time he starts, Bing needs him and he has to break off.

Oh, how I relate to Flop.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 06/02/2022 21:00

I haven’t had a good nights sleep since 2006.

I hide the "good" chocolate and sneakily eat some when I am alone in the kitchen " cleaning"

A box of kinetic sand just fell on my head off the top of the fridge and went everywhere.
