No Drama. Mumsnet threads you haven't started.

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 neighbours came round with homemade curry but I'm supposed to be on a diet.

Oh well. It's delicious anf would have been rude to say no...

I have a guest bedroom with some stuff, like a lamp and a bed, in it. I felt it needed something so I decided to add a mirror and a couple of cushions to make it more cosy. It doesn't have an en suite.
My guests had a great time at mine and we are still friends.

5 week old DS will only sleep on me. I have no interest in persuading him to do otherwise as I know from DC1 that the newborn snuggle stage passes so quickly.

Next door made a really alarming, loud, fast banging at 23:30. Turned out they were crushing pistachios for a cake. I was very relieved they were not dead in a heap at the bottom of the stairs, and accepted the promise of a slice

Someone near me's dog barked for hours last night.

I closed the windows.

I'm a SAHM who likes buying things on eBay. DH will hand me the credit card bill with a list of PayPal transactions and ask if they're all correct.
If I say yes, he will just pay it.

My SIL is coming to stay soon, she never stops talking, it's nice to have a good catch up.
The toddler next door is playing loudly in the garden, singing and giggling, it's lovely to hear her so happy and having fun.
A complete stranger started talking to me today while I was flicking through holiday and day out brochures and advising me were I should go, it was a lovely chat and he gave me some really good tips.
And finally, my daughter has been invited to a party, the other mum suggested that a voucher or money would be a good gift, great, nice and easy for me.

I thought it would be nice to see my friend.

So I got in my car and drove there.

My daughter wanted to go and see her friend instead. So she got the bus.

My parents are coming for Christmas. I'm looking forward to it.

Someone said hello to my child. It's nice when people are friendly, isn't it?

The neighbour in downstairs flat made a phonecall at 6.30am (like she often does). I blamed it on the zero insulation in this block and felt lucky I could just turn over and go back to sleep. She was getting up for work.

I shower most days, wash my hair every other day and change the towels weekly. I am certain this is about right and need no confirmation.

I hasten to add it is equally fine if someone on mn showers weekly or hourly.

My period seems odd, I don't sleep well & my body has new aches & signs of ageing. I didn't expect anything else as I got older. Getting older is great -- There are still so many things to do in life.

Yesterday I was a bit bored at work, so I resigned.

I thought I might be pregnant. So I bought a pregnancy test kit. I wasn't pregnant.

I thought I might be pregnant. So I bought a pregnancy test kit. I was pregnant. I told my husband using words, not a message buried in a cake.

I thought I might be pregnant. So I bought a pregnancy test kit. The result was inconclusive. I waited a few days and took another one.

Someone at baby group has called their child a name I'm not keen on. Up to them though, innit.

My second cousin once removed has a friend whose sister in law has the same name that I want to give my child. That's a coincidence, isn't it?

A woman stroked my baby on the cheek in Costa yesterday. I didn't mind at all

My partner has a friend. Sometimes they talk to each other.

This is my best ever thread. Takes me back to Viz.

Sat down in a shady part of a courtyard for lunch today and a waiter came to tell us that the coolest part of the cafe was a table in the garden room and asked if my baby would be more comfortable there.

He was spot on and we had a great lunch with a happy baby. I am glad he told us.

My NDN has traditional hurdy gurdy organs in his sheds (multiple) in his garden. He plays them at least once a week - usually Sunday afternoons when I'm in the garden.

I don't mind at all. In fact, I secretly quite like it because I can pretend I'm at the seaside.

My elderly mum drives me completely insane at times. Still love her dearly, though, and wouldn't for a minute dream of cutting her out of my life because she says things that irritate me.
