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 DH went away to work today for a month. My kids spent half an hour crying. They'll be fine by lunchtime, like they are every other summer. They don't need counseling (for this at least)

I am going to do some shopping in ALDI. I will buy things that I need and / or like.

The milk went out of date yesterday but I'm going to drink it anyway.

I have all the curtains drawn and have no idea what's parked outside my house.

I can't find my glasses. Can't watch TV or drive without them. Crochet is also a bit tricky. They'll turn up before I need to drive DD somewhere this evening, am sure of it.

I'm locked out of my bedroom because I left the key in a coat pocket I left behind on a trip to stay where DH works. He's posting the key. I'm camping in the living room. I quite like it.

My radio alarm in bedroom goes off every morning, I just switch the circuit breaker for the sockets in that part of the house, after the second alarm.

DS is the perfect potty trainee.

Opened the back gate this morning to find a tradesman's van parked across it, blocking the exit. The owner yelled from the roof two doors up the street that he'd be down the ladder ASAP, I waited patiently, he moved the van, DS and I got our bikes out and said thank you, then toddled off to school/work without problem.

Last night everyone in the street had the windows open due to the heat. One of the neighbours was having very noisy sex. My elderly dad and I carried on discussing politics as if nothing was happening.

I live next door to a nursery. It's loud. They've just installed ac units, and they buzz. I still love being out in my garden.

My baby doesn't sleep. He's a baby.
Sometimes he doesn't eat. He's a baby.
He prefers mush to finger food. He's a baby
Someone thought he was a girl. He's a baby. He didn't have a bow stuck to his head, but yeah, I can see he looks quite 'pretty'
When I was out, someone breathed near him, coughed on him, touched him without bleaching their hands, and then gave him a chocolate button. I literally wept with anger.

DH did something that annoyed me. I talked to him about it. He saw my point and apologised.

On a separate occasion, I got annoyed about something else he did. But I realised IWBU, so I didn't say anything, and we got on happily with the rest of our day.

Some teenagers were standing at the edge of my driveway earlier, laughing loudly and chatting.

This made my dog bark a lot.

I went out and asked them if they wouldn't mind moving on a bit. There was no 'confrontation', just normal polite communication.

They even asked about my dog's blindness.

I saw and bought three replacement toilet brush heads that fit my toilet brush.

I replaced one immediately and enjoyed the rest of my evening without any forethought.

Yesterday I hurried out of a room and slammed my little toe against the door. It hurts to put shoes on and walk. It will mend. I have meds.

I let my cat drink the leftover milk out of my breakfast cereal bowl this morning. Washed the bowl in the dishwasher as normal. Don't expect anyone to have died of cat germs by tomorrow.

AudreyBradshaw · 19/07/2016 11:02

People keep asking me if I'm pregnant, which I am, some have rubbed my bump. It's been nice, I quite like it.

We trekked to a kids sprinkler park at the weekend.

Someone hadn't cleaned the filters so the sprinklers were off for quite a time while they fixed it.

Kids had a nice time anyway playing in the pool bit.

minipie · 19/07/2016 11:11

DD 16 months fell over and had a nosebleed.

She seems fine, I'm not going to take her to the doctors.

Butteredparsnips · 19/07/2016 12:36

Mini. Hope baby pie is OK.

My 'friend' is getting married a one hour drive away. I don't really like them and am offended by their wedding list/ lack of wedding list. So I'll politely decline.

elspethmcgillicuddy · 19/07/2016 12:44

I had a look at our income and outgoings, googled local private school fees and did some basic maths to work out we couldn't afford it.

I used to have a Facebook account but found it a bit irritating so I deleted it. I phone, text or email my friends instead.

I wondered how long it would take other people to pay off their mortgage then realised it would irrelevant information as house prices and other information so much.

minipie · 19/07/2016 12:52

Yes she's fine Smile thanks buttered just got a bit of a bruised nose.

Charley50 · 19/07/2016 12:53

Oops vary so much.

I don't earn 10X my husbands wage.

Doesn't bother me or him one iota Wink

paxillin · 19/07/2016 13:03

It's really hot. But my mum used to say "happens every year, it's called summer" so I didn't post.
