Today I stood outside of KFC and enjoyed a fillet burger after my 1 hour gym session! I didn’t bother bringing it home for DP to see as I already had a Starbucks frappe and a slice of cake this afternoon😂

What’s your secret of the week/month?

Told family etc that I was in work on a day when I'd actually booked it off, just so I could have a full day without anyone bothering me. Heaven

Had a sneaky cigarette in the pitch black at the back of the garden where my kids can't see and lecture me. Grin I know it's bad but I'm to the point where I only need the odd one now!

Well this will sound terrible but I googled the most painless way to kill yourself. I fell down a dignitas worm hole and thought would it be a good idea to know how to do it in case the day came when I was diagnosed with something that I didn't want to die of but couldn't afford dignitas.

Slept with a friend. (Obviously, he knows, but no one else does.)

@Hangupsrus beautiful! I hope you had a great day:)

@Forestflies1972 bloody hell that sounds intense. What made you think to do that?

@Piseog are you planning on telling anyone or will you be keeping it to yourself?

This will sound slightly lame but I paid the chap at Halfords to fit a new headlamp bulb for me instead of doing it myself (it’s something I can do, have done, I was just being lazy!)

determinedtomakethiswork · 15/11/2022 23:04

I always do that, @LucyFox Windscreen wipers as well. I wish I could find someone who would blow up the tyres for me. I always seem to let them down. Actually I did pay someone at the garage to do that once. He was doing his own and I told him I'd give him £10 to do mine. He did and we are both happy!

Apart from DH knowing, we found out we're expecting our 4th baby

frenchfancy81 · 15/11/2022 23:12

Had a McDs for breakfast on my own in the car and it hasn't even happened yet but it will tomorrow morning 😁😁😁

EnormousStuffedMarrow · 15/11/2022 23:12

Sent all the info to the celebrant who will be conducting our wedding in a few weeks time.
Only me, DP and the celebrant know about this (and all of you now!).

Abstained from alcohol for a week. No one knows I had a problem.

That's brilliant. Well done

Stopped off at the Chinese for some of their absolutely gorgeous garlic and chili chicken wings, which I planned to snaffle secretly in the car... only to discover they've changed their hours and I'd arrived five minutes too late!

BastardChild · 15/11/2022 23:16

Helped an amazing woman that was coerced to giving up her child for adoption in the 1960's connect with other women who will understand her without having to navigate the various cesspits of the internet.

Well done @XenoBitch !

Messaged an ex for the first time since we split up in August.

I hope you thoroughly enjoyed every drag 😊

AnxietyIsMyShadow · 15/11/2022 23:20

considered running away from OH and 2 kids as I am seriously struggling to cope with our toddlers behaviour and having massive anxiety issues (well I always have done and at the moment it’s about DD and I am pretty certain it’s actually me that’s the biggest problem in her life and maybe I should for once do the right thing and fuck off to make sure they’re not scarred having a mum like me)
I have also eaten a share size bag of Cadburys Giant Buttons in my despair. They’re my DS’s treat. I will replace them tomorrow. Again.

Massive well done. 🎉

Has this been prompted by the "I'm an alcoholic" thread?

Cleveramazing · 15/11/2022 23:22

Am in bed eating a mars bar …bloody amazing 🤩

Saracen · 15/11/2022 23:22

Booked a repairperson in for tomorrow. DH wouldn't disapprove of me doing that as such, but he likes to micromanage these things: "And make sure he does blah blah, and don't pay more than £x (when the going rate is higher than that!), and don't use that firm because one of their vans once cut me up, and can't you get him to come on Tuesday the 24th in the afternoon because that's most convenient for us?"

I'll tell him after the fact!
