@Houseofvelour

I spend a good portion of the day looking down the back of trousers to see if there's a poo
I'm guessing they are someone else's trousers? Grin

I got shouted at today for cutting a sandwich into triangles rather than squares.

Although the idea of me doing a PhD is now laughable (I mean, where would I find the time?), if I ever get round to it, it will be on the bowel habits and toileting practices of small humans.

I always keep a stash of Organix cereal bars under the stairs (bought when on offer).

Giraffesandbottoms · 06/02/2022 18:23

I have fished several poos out of the bath this month

I have spent 4x my own clothes budget on tiny uniform.

I could go on mastermind about sodding Pokemon.

I can tell if someone's coming down with something by sniffing the crown of their head.

Would anyone else like to check and see if my poo looks like yours?

PurBal · 06/02/2022 18:25

I smell of sick and I don’t have the energy to care. Or is that just the morning after a night out?!

Changechangychange · 06/02/2022 18:26

I never leave the house without tissues.

I haven’t been to the toilet by myself for more than 5 years.

@Chasingaftermidnight I read the Julia Donaldson books so often I’m surprised when I open other books and they aren’t written in rhyming couplets. Best laugh if the weekend Grin

BordelDeMerde · 06/02/2022 18:27

@Mercedes519

I get irrationally annoyed at authors who haven’t made their rhyming couplets scan properly.

You had ONE job

I'm still annoyed at Julia Donaldson for "the fire burned bright and good". The fire burned GOOD? Wtf, Julia? Angry

Doing all the laundry folding in 1 night just to let the other pile sit there for another 3 or 4days...

You mutter 'for fucks sake' under your breath when someone calls your name for the bazillionth time in an hour.

For a middle aged woman I know a frightening amount about Tik Tok videos and Marvel.

Oh yeah and going on a holiday feels rather like a business trip

Flaskfan · 06/02/2022 18:31

I can't pass a big truck without commenting out loud:
Ooh, a digger.
Ooh, a cement mixer.
Look, it's the binnies!

But going on a business trip feels like a holiday.

After buying a full set of tiny 4-5 yrs uniform for starting school, have recently had to buy a whole new set of size 6-7 uniform just 6 months later ... What do they put in those school dinners?!

Who 'accidentally' kicked The Gingerbread Man underneath the wardrobe?
