Westminstenders: From Uxbridge to...?

[RedToothBrush]

Speaker Bercow is gone.

Speculation that Johnson is parachuting into Rutland.

Rumours that the Brexit Party won't contest the election.

A new speaker to be elected on Monday.

Parliament to dissolve next week.

Brexit? Oh we've forgotten that until Friday 13th...

I'm a perfume obsessive :)
It's expensive!

I've just started wearing perfume again - and remembered how much I love Lancôme's Poême. I'm nearly finished my bottle of Eau de Parfum now (which was probably c20 years old but it had been in a box), so I'm going to have to ration when I wear it - and ask for more for Christmas

Nothing wrong with being a mid forties mum 😉

....or even a late 50s mum

in denial about being middle aged

I’m a mid-forties mum and I just wear whatever I like now. You should see my fingernails

I’m also a mid-forties mum. DD (15) doesn’t seem to comment on my clothing choices. Although she’s fairly critical of DH’s fashion sense

I'm a late 40s mum who favours comfort over style :)
My 17 year old self would be horrified :)
Poeme is lovely btw.

I got two unrelated and unprompted compliments about my perfume at a party last week

All my favourite perfumes get discontinued. Envy, White Cotton, Very Valentino...

Oh I loved very valentino!

Thought I’d just wandered into Style and Beauty by mistake. Can someone let me know when sanity’s been restored, please?

Confusion as NO ONE turns up for 'huge' pro-Brexit demo in Doncaster this morning

DD1 (aged 23) convinced me to buy some silver trainers with no laces (stretchy for old woman) in Mint Velvet recently. I bloody love them!!! I am 58. There is probably no hope for me...

I have partially purple hair....

We need a bit of light relief occasionally Alsohuman - it also helps keep the Bots at bay as they can't cope with real people

I wear sparkly trainers with my scrubs at work :)

I found the elections thread and now I am suspicious that half the people on it are being paid to say nonsensical stuff

I don't want to assume that people who don't share my beliefs are bots or paid trolls or winding people up for a laugh... but. but.

I am a slightly different demographic to some of mumsnet so I probably do live in my own little echo chamber. God.

This is not good for my blood pressure...

Yes.
We aren't the fucking borg

Snigger
Another one who wears glittery trainers
my children say they are "grim" but as they are both away at Uni now, I do not care

And yes, random diversion conversations throw the bots right off kilter so these threads get left in peace

To be fair, squid, I don't think we're seeing the full-time trolls yet.

I'll go back to chatting to people at bus stops, don't think they're paying people to say stuff at bus stops yet

"Confusion as NO ONE turns up for 'huge' pro-Brexit demo in Doncaster this morning"

A bot farm in Russia or US trollbots can make a big impression online ..... but they can't produce physical bodies at a UK demo

But this can't be true. The man who yelled abuse at me on the train got off in Doncaster. He voted leave because of immigration and left London for Donny because there were less of the forrin and more of the white right sort there . Are you honestly telling me that such a patriot (his father flew Lancaster Bombers don'tchya'know?) is actually more interested in the attempted bullying of women and not actually bothered enough by brexit to be a boots on the ground soldier for his cause?

Well I just don't believe it. Colour me

Haven't had to post pictures of my garden the refugee camp for ages

I'm 51 and have two pairs of ripped jeans which I know is a much frowned on combination for many.

Bought them last year in a "fuckit I'm 50!" kind of way.
