The other thread is filling up fast so setting up the foundation for our new evil lair. One where we follow real guidelines, not made up ones, make sock cocks ,ruin hair and bemoan the shortage of Spanish soldiers.

This is where we'll keep each other sane or descend into madness together... depends on the day.

Jesus wept. Why are we clapping in our doorsteps and doing all this crap to bring communities together....if you are then declared a murderer for saying morning to a neighbour 4 meters away.

It beggars belief.

Yay. My people. Marking my place by adding I used my one hour of exercise at the weekend to walk a couple of miles ... just to buy an ice cream from the shop Smile (it was essential for me)

Newly discovered thread and new name...

Anyway, about mythical chickens 🐓

My mother, in her old age, has developed a trying habit of assuming anything she has mislaid has been stolen by someone close to her. She has caused some major family ructions, she can be really spiteful with her accusations and of course, when the item is found, there is never an apology.

One day she planned to make a chicken pie. She roasted a chicken and put it to cool in the fridge. When she was ready to make the pie she went to the fridge but the chicken wasn't there. The complex where she lives has communal gardens and each house has a small patio. It was summer and her patio doors had been open.

So of course the answer to her missing chicken was that a batty neighbour had come in and taken it. She and step father accosted and accused the poor woman.

The next day she opened the microwave and found the chicken. But this just confirmed the neighbour's guilt - obviously her conscience had been pricked so she had sneaked back in and returned the chicken. Confused

I give to you...a mythical chicken!

Firstly why did a message get deleted on the old thread? Were we infiltrated?

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 07/04/2020 08:33

Just a ranty spam I think.

Morning villains,antiheroes and reprobates.

@Thepigeonsarecoming awww he is sooo cute!! And never worry about derailing... we went off the tracks a long time ago.

Welcome all newbies make sure you put your hazmat suits on and stop breathing at the door.

Stupid cat was a dick all night so I got about 5 hour of interrupted sleep. Yawn.

This reminded me of some of you(and possibly me 2 days ago). Particularly the crazed eyes and hair.Grin

Having just read all the other thread and this one I can now NOT delete mumsnet after all. Between the brainless frothing here and the mask making cluttering my Facebook I though I was going to have to put my phone down and actually do something vaguely productive.

Here's my puppers waiting patiently for me to have my hour long bath, then take them out to the park. Today they are meeting my friend who loves dogs but cant have any. They adore her too.
Alls good in the banana household. Well no, actually boredom is a drag but that's all.

Aww they are gorgeous. I love dogs but I know I'm too selfish and lazy for one so sticking to cats.

We actually had two dogs(well they were OH's) but things went tits up with old age, one peeing and pooing everywhere , one aggressive. Tried everything and I was the only one walking them and feeding them and cleaning after them while pregnant and then with a baby. When one of them bit DD (the day I found out dad had cancer) I finally cracked. Completely my fault, but I also couldn't cope anymore.

So I stick to cats now. I e also had guinea pigs,fish,hamsters and now stick insects.

Glad I've got the puppers right now, damn good reason to be out. Had two police cars slow down as I was crossing the main road yesterday. Thought they were gonna stop me and ask why I was out, then they saw dogs and speeded up.
Princess I also have a cat, but he is camera shy and a bit grumpy at the moment, so I'll leave him sleeping on my bed til later.
I keep wanting wine on an evening but I can imagine how bad that could get if this drags on like in other countries.

So I already self flagellated yesterday for my crime of meeting my friend, later today I've to go fix a ballcock for someone else. Gasp I'll have to actually go inside their house and breathe in it. Oh my the faceache groups will be all a quiver and I'm hoping to star with full colour pictures on the front page no less.

ISaySteadyOn · 07/04/2020 09:32

I couldn't find them Wink. Or I would have sprayed them with disinfectant. I have washed my walls though.

bigmamama · 07/04/2020 09:35

Hi all I'd like to join in and add that I went shopping yesterday an bought lots of frivolous non essential items including ice cream chocolate and cans of coke... I didn't think I'd make it back to the car alive as I could feel the eyes of judgment burning into my head but I'm here to tell the tale! I also can't cook for shit (or that's what I tell the dh) so been having a takeaway at least once a week! Oh iv also been ordering non essential items like clothes for my growing child and 8mth old... should I just shoot my self now?
I also don't clap for anyone and I actually hate the very idea of it Smile

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 07/04/2020 09:37

Can I ask a question please (I daren’t ask elsewhere!) - am I the only one who isn’t quarantining my post and other deliveries? I’m opening it, disposing if the packaging and washing my hands.

I’ve seen various posters saying they put deliveries in a separate room for a few days and others saying they are washing their post. If the normal people on this thread do it I’ll think about it!

Chucks one to Smile .

I was being a dick on a thread about smoking and I'm afraid to go back and look what happened. I'm sure I'll be responsible for the death of everyone and single handedly bring the kingdom down in the next 5 minutes.

Hello all, can I stay here to avoid the madness?

Smile My friend proudly calls them her ‘thinking hairs’

Pink I’m doing the same. I have OCD so quarantines and washing parcels is too close to making me spiral and become unwell. Am yet to drop down dead.
