I always save my Superman pants for scary occasions, they always give me secret strength.

I so want a pair of Superman pants now.

No email today and I'm guessing there won't be over the weekend, either.

Polter, so I tell DS1. His response?

'I don't like being patient!'

Asda went through a stage of superhero comfy pants, so I have a full range of superman, batman and wonder woman pants. Only the Superman pants give secret strength though, for some reason.

Polter, I like those buttons. My mother used to have an old hot chocolate tin full of buttons, I used to play with them and sort them out.

Ds2 has spent the last half hour repeating Siri on his phone. Siri (Australian Siri) replies and ds says the same thing back, and so on into infinity. How do I make it stop 😁

Oooh, buttons! I used to play with my mum's button jar too. They're just so lovely. Smooth and regular shaped and just so tactile! Not a fan of the ones with the loop on the back though, holey ones are so much nicer.

LOVE the jacket poulter. I also like the gold buttons they give it a jaunty air! I swear it with a loose longer line top/dress and skinny trousers and some ankle boots. And some jewellery.

Oh haha! God I LOVE clothes. Love love love them. Can't wear any kind of heels though. Like to be comfy but stylish. I do think (well I know) that people think I'm a quirky (ugh hate that word) dresser. But I def have my own style thing going on!

Would you wear a dress? A dress can be comfy. And you don't have to try and match anything.

Or what about some loose tapered trousers and a tucked in slouchy tshirt with it? Similar to your normal style but more polished

Ps what's the job? Sorry if I've missed you say

Well I have no idea what that is but I bet you'll be perfect for it

By the way I'm pretty fat too. Ho hum. It's one thing I've finally realised I don't actually care about. In fact I think I have an over inflated sense of my own beauty 😂

It's okay. Fat rats are cute.

Hello everyone, hope you don't mind me joining in

I was going to start a new thread about this but thought I'd ask here instead.

I don't know if it's just me being weird or oversensitive but does anyone else sometimes feel odd or even sometimes upset about threads about autism posted elsewhere on MN?

I don't know if I'm going to explain this very well so I hope nobody thinks I'm too strange but right now it's the teacher one. Obviously I know people can post what they like and I don't have to look at the threads or reply to them but I'm an idiot and get sucked in.

I've just realised I'm making no sense but sometimes I'm just a bit about people's motivations and I just think "wtf are you posting this if you know it's likely to cause upset?".

I need to shut up and get a and stop talking gibberish .

On an unrelated note, I had never heard of the term autist until a couple of months ago on a thread in AIBU

I'm beginning to think that there are some things I need to STFU about
