My Neighbour is mowing their grass. They have been at it since 8am.
I don't think this is outrageous. It's a good idea to do it before it gets hot.

My 17-year-old son has finished college for the summer and is working as a waiter in the evenings. When I got in from work yesterday, not only had he not done any tidying, he had made more mess. I sighed. He apologised and said he'd watched three episodes of Peaky Blinders and didn't realise the time. Then he made me a drink and loaded the dishwasher. Selfish.

My loaded cousin has been checking in at fancy pants places this week im not jealous i dont think she is boasting she is having a lovely holiday and i like looking at her pictures

There was a programme on TV last night I didn't fancy much.

So I watched something else. It's nice now there's more than one channel often showing either the test card or a potter's wheel, isn't it?

DH and I are taking DS1 and his kids on holiday abroad for two weeks. His XP, the kids' mum, does not mind at all. She will be feeding DS's cat and ours while we are away and will probably give DS a lift to the station. We all get on.

My lovely neighbours optimistically allowed their teenager to have a party. It got out of control and dramatic. Still nice to have abit of drama in our naice cul de sac beats the to and all silent by 11.30 when I go to bed.

I found a positive pregnancy test on the pavement in front on my house.

My neighbour on one side is a Middle aged gay man and the other side is an older couple. Who does it belong too?! I really want to know

My neighbour has been out gardening from 8am until 7pm for the last three days. He's topless, with no hat and most likely no suncream seeing as he resembles a well boiled lobster.
I'm not going to comment on that or on the swearing he does when his teenage son visits. I'm not even going to ponder why his son is never at school either.

MrsJayy · 21/07/2016 11:06

Ooo does the older couple maybe have a granddaughter?

I met up with a friend for the first time since having my DD. She commented that she liked the name I had chosen so much that if she has a DD it would be high on her list. I took it is a compliment - my DD doesn't own the name.

Butterworthbees · 21/07/2016 11:16

Not one I've ever seen MrsJay ! It's a mystery! If they did why would she take the text at their house?!

I know it's none of my business I really want to know

paxillin · 21/07/2016 11:28

Emailed an url earlier. I have had 3 occurrences yesterday and one today, all from mn talk boards, none from the many other pages I visited.

ScarlettDarling · 21/07/2016 11:30

I bought my 9 year old dd pink, glittery flip flops. There were brown leather ones but she wouldn't have liked them. She loves sparkly stuff so I got them. Im not feeling bad about it either. They look nice and they're comfy.

MrsJayy · 21/07/2016 11:34

Maybe they threw it away in denial i want to know too

CuboidalSlipshoddy · 21/07/2016 11:37

My mother is sobbing about our Christmas plans. That's a bit silly, isn't it?

paxillin · 21/07/2016 11:42

I'm invested in the pregnancy test too now. I suppose it's too boring to suggest that a dog may have picked it up because it smelt of wee??

I'm liking that we have a new Acronym. I might invite IOW to dinner at the weekend, because I like her. I am also thinking that I could be an IOW in future. Ambitious me.

I woke up with my six year old and my three year old in my bed this morning.

I'm glad it's a superking.

Its just so random a dropped pregnancy test ,

jobrum · 21/07/2016 12:27

Our neighbours had friends round in the garden yesterday evening: loud talking, loud music. The turned the music off about 8pm and were quiet and indoors by 9.

A couple of weeks ago, different neighbours moved our wheelie bin out for us as they were out early. The noise might have woken my dd but they didn't know that and it didn't wake her anyway. I have pleasant neighbours.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/07/2016 12:38

Talking of wheelie bins, I think the dustbin dropped the pregnancy test on the path when they emptied them.
So in theory, it could have been anyone's on your road. Really trying not to be intrigued by this as we're on the no drama threadGrin

MrsJayy · 21/07/2016 12:57

Oh the bin man is more than likely the binlorry doodah sometimes drops stuff see no drama at all there

PausingFlatly · 21/07/2016 13:25

My annoyingly loud neighbour's annoyingly loud DC have been running screaming up and down the road, the last three evenings, with supersoakers.

I'm thrilled for them.

Occasional silly fun in scorching hot summers is what childhood memories are made of.

Butterworthbees · 21/07/2016 13:27

Ooh good shout - it is bin day! The bin men probably did drop it. See no drama HaloGrin

I'm still going to be on the look out for who on our street is upduffed
