Mumsnet could do better (la quatrième partie): cheese wars and chickens

[79Helene]

Merailers assemble! The doors are open for part 4!

We spent a lot of time refreshing this website until we finally found them tickets. It was very stressful and took a good few days to actually manage to book the tickets as they kept disappearing as we were trying to book

Flight I rebooked got cancelled and had the same thing booboo, as I was looking at flights they were selling out. Ended up flying a day earlier as otherwise flights landed on Shabbat, and I’m at the gate for my second leg now. Tired 😴 spent all day finding a flight, then speed packing and I don’t have a case now.

took these pics in Ben Gurion. Omri Miran is someone who’s story I have been following

they haven’t cancelled my return flights yet bH but will see what happens 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t even pack my coat as it’s in storage 😅

I hope the rest of your journey goes well. Nesiah Tova!

If you're coming to the South East you'll be fine without one! North West... I mean, I'm sure you'll be fine...

Amen! Thank you 😊 I love my kids dearly but it’s a whole different ball game travelling without them 😅 there’s a reason we don’t go away on holiday (besides money 😅)

Do you constantly feel like you've forgotten something because you're not having to locate water bottles / snacks / favourite toys or schlepping a dozen different bags? It's a weird feeling!

Surprisingly no lol 😜 we haven’t flown with the kids in a long long time

couldn't make it up, on my longer flight I sat next to a guy who chatted for a couple mins, and then he asked me where I was from. I didn’t want to lie and told him and he started ranting on and on about Gaza at me. Really uncomfortable. He was going on and on for ages, I didn’t really say much, he eventually stopped and went to sleep. I didn’t wear my magen dovid necklace especially - I should have lied and said I was from the UK and had been on holiday 🤦‍♀️I was tense the rest of the flight.

I'm in the northwest boo-boo, apparently forecast is dry til Tues, but my friend has offered to lend me a coat 😅

Oh you're in the UK Ella! Hope you have a lovely break.

Sorry you're flight was stressful, sounds like your neighbour might have been from Mumsnet.

Welcome to the UK Ella. Sorry about the weather.😁

Dadsnet maybe 😅 I didn’t argue, he’s entitled to his views and honestly at 12 pm after a verrry stressful day, I was not up for a discussion about it 🤷‍♀️

thanks helene 😀 I’m gonna work a bit while I’m here bc I lost a day as had to fly earlier in the scramble for tickets. its so nice to see my sil and bil and kids, and I am really looking forward to seeing my inlaws 🥰

@quantumbutterfly I packed my leggings and jumpers and wore boots here 😂 my feet are killing - I’ve worn only sandals for months!

if anyone is up north in primark in the next couple days you might spot a mad women in a pink headscarf buying out the shop… 😉 I came with a backpack, I hope to return with a suitcase , bless temu and their cheap cases 😜

Oh and Tesco for a massive shop of robinsons squeezies, nesquik, and cadburys choc powder 😍

How strange - I posted and it immediately was hidden ! Was just a chatty, no drama message! Must have triggered one of those automatic checking things 🤔

Ha, you have clearly upset Mumsnet! Maybe they don't like pink headscarves?

Happy shopping, and have fun with your friends and family!

Oh that's odd, you must have used a special MN trigger word! 😂

Reappeared 👀 mysterious

must have been the scarf definitely

Oh it's back! 😁

@EllaDisenchanted

Beautiful Autumn sunshine in the NW.

Hope you enjoy your trip!

And to you @SababaToo and everyone too...

Shabbat shalom to you all. Currently sitting on my balcony watching all the people on the beach in the sunshine whilst coughing and sneezing with covid! My husband very generously shared the germs he brought back from the UK

Shabbat Shalom everyone, what a pain @gingergran I hope you get well soon.

Feel better soon!!

🫂 feel better soon!

I’m in one of the chabad houses in Cyprus now, my return flight got cancelled. Had to fly here just to get close to home, and now we’ll see if my flight goes ahead tonight. One flight didn’t go last night but I’m hopeful!
