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.

I saw a celebrity the other day. No need to guess who it was. It was Carl Froch, the boxer.

Didn't sleep last night, very hot. Just had a glass of wine. Probably have a drink problem. Hmm

We'd just got home from hospital yesterday with poorly DD and the ILs arrived.

It was lovely, I don't know what we'd do without them (and I kinda wish they'd come back today!)

Someone's house alarm went off. The noise bothered DS so we went indoors. I said it would stop soon and we could go back out then.

It did so we did.

Someone upthread ended a sentence with a preposition. I corrected it in my head and thought, "my grammar's probably not perfect." I plan to forget about it imminently.

Also, LABIA amused me greatly. As did the PP with the Most Perturbed husband who bought a kebab to celebrate.

I love beef hulahoops.

Salmotrutta · 20/07/2016 15:29

I'm laughing at named my children without outside help Grin

One of our neighbour's tinkers with motorbikes and frequently revs them up in the late evening.

I don't phone the Noise Abatement Society.

Rogue apostrophe there in "neighbour's" Shock

I have also resisted correcting the spelling of some posts on a thread about thunder and lightning.

I recently purchased some items in the sale online and paid £3.95 postage rather than going into the shop as I am heavily pregnant. When the package arrived, there was a security tag on one of the items. I took it into my local branch, they apologised profusely, removed the tag and refunded my postage.

We're gonna shimmy this to Classics.

There was something going on in our town yesterday evening, our road was busy. I saw someone looking for a parking space and invited him to park in our drive.

A male colleague commented on my outfit today. Not going to bother reporting him to Human Resources or messaging his wife anonymously on Facebook.

AudreyBradshaw · 20/07/2016 16:40

Dh has been out the front of our house without a top on today. I briefly worried what the neighbours might think. Then I decided that as he looks like a bronzed Adonis I'd stop being concerned. He's washed the car and sorted the bins out.

I had a bad break-up with my ex. I don't think he has a narcissistic personality disorder though. I don't think he is a psychopath either. I think he's just a bit of a prick.

I know a man who funds his gambling and alcohol problem by defrauding the benefits system. He also works as an enforcer for a drug gang, beating people up in return for heroin which he sells to children. I have decided to break off our engagement.

My neighbour smokes by their back door. As we live in adjoining houses, I can often smell their cigarette smoke.

I haven't reported them to the HA or called 101, despite not smoking myself.

It was DS sports day today. He didn't win his races. I congratulated him on trying his best. He was fine.

It was hot at sports day. Some children had hats. Some didn't. They will be fine.

MIL is toxic and self- centred. We ceased contact with her after deciding between us it was the best thing to do. The world continues to spin.

CuboidalSlipshoddy · 20/07/2016 17:23

My husband's family is extremely rich and he will inherit houses in the smartest parts of all the world's great cities. That's quite lucky, but I don't feel the need to tell everyone.
