No Drama. Mumsnet threads you haven't started.

[Butteredparsnips]

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 27 year old daughter has a tattoo. I wouldn't get one myself, but she likes it.

Someone had a go at me today for being NC with my mum. I didnt have a go back though - frankly I hope she never learns the difference between normal family disagreements and a lifetime of sustained abuse.

The MoT on my car expires next month. I need to take it to the garage before then, but otherwise I will keep on using my car as normal.

I checked my passport when I booked my holiday, so I knew that it was valid for long enough.

I have food in my fridge past its sell by date
I will decide myself whether to eat it

I'm just back from holiday with some friends, having left dh at home. The house wasn't totally trashed in my absence. I'm too tired and hot to do anything useful, and dh doesn't mind. He has now stopped trying to do anything, too.

I will cook burritos for dinner tonight. I bought some black turtle beans at the weekend and have enjoyed following an online recipe, cooking them for 3.5 hours to perfection.

I am sure they will be delicious.

I sometimes go out for a beer with my other adult friends, and I may occasionally be back a bit later than my vague estimate of the time I said. DW is fine with this, and neither calls the police nor initiates divorce proceedings. I am the same when she goes out.

Sometimes we go out together, sometimes separately.

She has male friends and I have female friends. Oddly, we don't spend all our time gibbering like paranoid fuckwits that the other person might be flirting with, or sleeping with, these people.

The neighbours' kids frequently kick/hit balls over our fence. I throw them back, They give me a box of chocolates every xmas! (I shall be sorry when they get too old to play ball).

I was held hostage in my kitchen this morning by a wasp the size of an elephant it actually was this big..........ok slight exaggeration. DS was still sleeping so I couldn't croak for help scream at the top of my lungs but after about 10 minutes crouched in the corner maybe or maybe not curled in a ball letting little bits of wee escape I armed myself with a weapon, mr muscle kitchen, and sprayed around my body like I was fighting off piranhas, I made it to the door and safety of the stairs. I'm now looking for a phobias book to overcome my horrendous fear of them so I don't look like a pee soaked idiot and I don't pass it on to my family.

I'm mildly irritated by the use of 'should of' in a PP but I'll get over it, in fact I already am.

I was invited to the evening do of a wedding. I was delighted to be invited and gave them some cash as a wedding gift as requested, which was nice and easy for me.

My baby is really hot and bothered in this heat. I decided by myself to put him in a nappy and put the fan on him. Then we splashed around in a cool bath. He's still crying and grizzly and not sleeping. It's because it's hot.

My friend asked me if I would watch her DS after school this week which I said is absolutely fine as a) it will help keep my 2 DS entertained and b) I know she'll happily look after mine another day.

My partner has a mobile phone. They have a lock code on it. That's sensible, isn't it?

My husband said I could do more around the house while I'm on maternity leave. I told him I do as much as I can depending on the baby's mood and my own. I also said I would prefer spending time with my baby than plonking him somewhere while I clean the house. He said he hadn't thought of it that way. Then we had tea.

My dc (15, 12 & 9) are playing in the sprinkler and on a waterslide. Both the neighbours have comment how nice to watch them.

My friend is not coming over despite me going mildly nuts, stuck in doors with poorly ds (for 4 days straight). I bought ice lollies and everything in preparation for her arrival.
I understood when she told me, it is too bloody hot to be trekking anywhere you don't have to, she is still my very close friend, I know she still loves me and I will see her soon.

I went to a soft play centre recently. The kids all seemed to rub along well together and the adults managed to sit chatting with their coffee.In fact, it's like that every time I go except once when me and my mate got screamed at and various other people were told to "fuck off" by one mother.

My adult daughters are lucky enough to both be travelling in interesting places at the moment. I am continuing to do what I want to with my life, enjoying occasional updates from them but neither incapacitated by grief at their absence nor paralysed with fear in case they are killed in Abroad -which of course could happen anywhere at all and as we can't predict where the next tragedy will be there is nothing to be gained by second guessing it-

-strikethrough fail-

Some people walked past me while smoking cigarettes. Shrug.

A dog sniffed my grumpy old dog's arse and got snarled at. The other owner and I smiled at each other and walked on.

It's hot. It's also July.

An OP talked about their vagina when they actually meant labia. I didn't correct her.
