Hell is ever closer-how's your stash looking? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/eureferendumm2016/3646002-hell-is-ever-closer-how-s-your-stash-looking

I wondered why our raspberries didnt seem to fruit - then discovered the dog picking them off with her teeth!!

@CrunchyCarrot , basically yes. Obviously it isn't as lovely as fresh. Better in soups and stews and forgiving things like that. Or risotto (my dh's speciality).
I just tipped some dehydrated home grown spinach (from last year) into an omelette I've just had for lunch. I fried it up first with some bacon (all greens go well with bacon ).

I have more or less filled the understairs cupboard.

I am in search of another hiding hole. I need to tidy up and pack some plastic stacker boxes with a mix of things and stack them under the dining table.

I really need to catch up on house work after two weeks of breath holding...

Ouch. Brexit ankle sounds nasty.

I was wondering if the buggered up connective tissue was responsible.

I have lumpy boobs too. Now that I've finished bfing I need to go for a mammogram because it's the gold standard test even though ultrasound was clear. Extra tissue or something.

I've had a lumpy bit under my right armpit since my milk came in with ds. They scanned it and nothing so 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm wondering if it will disappear now he's stopped feeding. 4 years and 8 months he fed for 🙈 He naturally stopped which was lovely I guess and I don't feel the emotional pull I thought I'd feel. When Dd1 self weaned at 15 months I was devastated but pregnant with dd2 so knew I'd do it again. She fed for 3.5 years but ds wins the bf prize. My big fear when pregnant with Dd1 was that I wouldn't be able to bf. I'd have been devastated but here I am, having been through hell with all 3 to start with, having fed for a total of 9.5 years or thereabouts. I think I might have to use that as an excuse to treat myself to something that's just for me.

Sorry, total derail!

Thought I was doing well feeding for three years, seven months in total. Well one boob did a couple of months less.

That's great going! Funny how they have a favourite boob isn't it

I did two weeks for each child and had absolutely no inclination to carry on (one lactose intolerant, one cows' milk protein intolerant) as I detested almost every minute of it! You wouldn't be able to pick them out as bottle fed, however! 😁

I have over done it and be reaching for the super strong drugs soon q
But 3 shelf units up and things all in date order and organised so easy to use and replace
Eldest treated all to KFC so can now flop

Nice one @Gingerninja4 . Hope you get a good rest and a bit of downtime.

Two weeks of hating it is a long time.i managed three days before he was mixed fed. Midwife was appalled... He will give up she said. Yes we'll he did. Two and s half years later.

Mixed feeding was great.bottles when you didn't want to get a tit out. Boob when you hadn't got enough bottles with you...

Not so much favourite boob, more I got fed up and wanted to use the computer with my right hand!

Sorry posting pre coffee so typos.

Glad it was good news, Blackeyed.

Hope all of you with Brexit related injuries are resting.

Does anyone else have close family who are firmly in the ‘we’re best off leaving without a deal’ frame of mind? I can’t see that I’m going to be able to convince them to start stockpiling just in case it isn’t.

That sounds difficult Rafals. They may have to learn the hard way.

I wouldn't tell them about your stash but keep a little bit for them. Eg an extra bag of pasta and a couple of tins.

Ex is refusing to stockpile. I think he thinks I am overreacting. I have stuff he could have that I bought before DD went veggie. But he can deal with going and getting stuff himself.

I have a bit in for a bin fairy neighbour who has helped out in the past quite a bit.

Depend of course on what you can afford and how much space you have as well as how close you are, and how rude they were to your warnings! Or is that just me?

On the plus side. I have just tried the salmon paste and it is bloody gorgeous.

My Boris-loving mother did stockpile last time, I think, after I advised her to. I'm not sure if I need to repeat the advice this time though. She's 170 miles from me, so no requirement to share if it goes wrong!

My mum is in a care home. I hope they are sorted.

Ex is in walking distance. He has his uses so may get to share a bit. He has 10 kilos of rice. Depends how useful he is.

I think that’s the conclusion I’d come to. They haven’t been rude they just don’t see why it’s necessary.

A week of ‘we have to leave or it’ll make a mockery of democracy/no deal is better than a bad deal/we need to keep no deal on the table as leverage/once we’ve left without a deal there’ll be a transition period’ has just about done me in though. I suddenly don’t feel at all ready for 31st October.

How far away do they live?

About 3/3.5 hrs away by train.

Ah quite a long way from your stash. At least it will take them some effort to get to you. I would suggest being otherwise engaged at half term.

Yeah. The stash is only in danger from me needing to break into it this week.
