Don’t mention the jasmine!

Can’t believe I’m onto my third thread.

Previous one here

Been packing the car to go to the tip. It’s rammed! Cat has been out for the first time and thankfully returned.

Greatly enjoyed my walks this weekend. Got an 8 miler in yesterday but the best part was coming back, lighting the fire and getting into a hot bath. Had a zoom with friends last night, touch too much red wine, but it was so much fun.

You’re all right re the petition. It doesn’t matter, he’s just jackbooting. Someone asked what I’d put in, sorry but I’m not comfortable sharing that at present, been advised to keep it to myself whilst it’s ongoing.

Geller is, however, incredulous that I’m not willing to carry on sharing Amazon Prime and Music Unlimited.

The weighted blankets have arrived so I’m just about to go sort out the laundry and the girls run. Been enjoying Radio 2’s musical weekend, but I can’t understand how Steve Wright is still on.

Tip run, then they come back. Roast chicken with bread sauce and roast gnocchi and board games this afternoon in front of the fire I think. Sounds like he’s been running them ragged, lots of walks etc which is good as means I don’t need to!

How’s everyone else spending their Sunday?

Oh ye gods just seen the latest clip of her basically going ‘oh it’s so nice to just be able to decide for myself and say yes’ re doing an interview with Oprah I mean seriously WTAF did Harry explain nothing about the RF to her? Has she lived under a rock & knew nothing about how the RF operate?! Ugh

In any case hope you’ve had a good day Polly after your interrupted nights sleep. Are the girls with you tonight or DH? I’m doing a Friday pizza and film with the boys any excuse for carbs!

H&M put me in mind of Edward and Mrs Simpson.

Can’t believe I called him DH I obvs meant twatbadger

You clearly meant Dick Head @DartmoorDoughnut 😉

I find it disturbing the way the media seem to be relentless in their wanting to take Megan down, no wonder they wanted to leave! Harry is probably terrified the same thing will happen to her as did Diana. Also the way the press are trying to make her out as having ‘led Harry astray’ is ridiculous! He is a grown man and I’m sure he is capable of making his own decisions. It’s been clear for many years he hasn’t been happy as things were.

Above all I think it’s really concerning that there is so much focus on them and very little mention or concern about Andrew and the horrific things that went on there. I bet he is happy that the attention has moved away from him!

@Fooshufflewickjbannanapants yup that’s the one I meant definitely

I think a massive part of the problem that people in the UK are unwilling to overlook is the unwillingness of the Royal Family to take a long hard look at themselves and all their protocol, and ask: is all this really necessary, and is it all really appropriate for the 21st century? Other royal houses have managed to modernise. So should Liz & Co.

Oh, @DartmoorDoughnut, having had a gin and a glass of red, I misread it as YOUR DH and got thoroughly confused!!

DD has gone to sleep in her bed again tonight, I’m winning!

Listen, never mind Harry and Megs, although heaven knows how they sleep at night, he could have just gone off and lived in the highlands quite happily and everyone would just have been pleased he was happy. More importantly, I have just watched something with an unexpected twist in it with the kids and now I am in the throes of an unexpected crush on a teenager.

We’re halfway through the Narnia series and have just watched Caspian. I knew I had a sneaky soft spot for Peter but then Caspian appeared and he’s all manly and clearly in touch with his emotional side and he looks like he’d be a good kisser and...

Well, be still my beating heart. (Good to know it’s still in there, eh?!)

Oh crap. I’m turning into a cougar, aren’t I? One minute a G&T, the next I’ll be Samantha from SATC.

(I haven’t kissed or hugged anyone other than my kids for a year now. I suspect this may be clouding the issue somewhat)

Homemade pizza tonight. Frustrated on two counts - the kids nicked all the pepper I’d chopped for my sweet chilli chicken pizza before I’d put my toppings on and 2 - JUST as I took mine out of the oven Mr Supermarket Delivery turned up, so I lost that initial oooh by the time I got to it.

I remember falling in hard for Heath Ledger in A Knights Tale when I split with my ex husband after 15 years. I think it’s a safe way of your mind and body reminding you that’s you’re still alive and kicking 😊
I did find it a bit bemusing though as I’d not felt like that since I was a teen lusting over John Travolta in Grease.

I loooved Knight’s Tale too!

Bemused, that’s it! I am bemused by my teenage crush 😂 glad it’s not just me though.

I am ALSO bemused by this morning’s message, but not in the same way.

Woken up to a WhatsApp:

Can I borrow a potato masher on Mon for Tuesday dinner. It’s one of the things I don’t have and will order.

Considering last night he was messaging me about the girls behaviour and that DD1 was melting down and how unacceptable it all was and that he’d have to stay up all night to deal with it...

Yep, I think bemused covers it!

@RandomMess you were right, sorry I didn’t respond earlier - he moved into his new house on Thursday

I didn’t respond to any of the messages last night (which started at 8pm) until 9.30pm, when I finally lost patience and pointed out that DD1 melting down is absolutely nothing to do with which sleeping bag she is in and all to do with the fact that it’s her first night in his new house so could he please cut her some slack and be kind and give her a cuddle.

I’m tempted to respond much later this afternoon with ‘Seriously?’

Wow. Where do you live that he can't obtain a potato masher by Tuesday evening.

"Given that we don't live on the Moon, I'm sure you will be able to find a potato masher in 72 hours from any of the 235 shops that sell them within 5 miles of your house or there is this thing called Amazon."

What's the back story? Did you take his favourite designer masher? Is this about you not sharing your Amazon Prime? Him being a prize knobhead?

'Amazon is your friend and I'm not' should cover it.

"Have you heard of shops".

Supermarkets are open today...

NEGATIVE

There’s are 2 big supermarkets within 5 minutes drive of his house. 1 he will pass at least twice in the next 24 hours as he does the school run.

There is no back story, the masher was mine before we got together! It’s just a normal bog standard potato masher. Think it came from Tesco.

This is all about him expecting me to sort him out because he is so busy and stressed and important.

"Sorry, I have plans to mash on Monday. Can't rearrange".

"Please don't ask me to borrow things. I am not your friend".

“No.” Works equally well. (Or the two year old style “‘s miiiiiiiiiiine!!!” (I kinda like that one, but I’m pissed off with my DH atm.)

“Dear Geller, I appreciate you are very important and, in a surprising new development, Marcus Wareing but if you are unable to find a shop selling this exotic kitchen implement in the next 48 hours may I humbly suggest you USE A CHUFFING FORK!”

@LittleMissNaice

"Sorry, I have plans to mash on Monday. Can't rearrange".

Why is there not a potato emoji on here?!

The burning question is: Are you regretting your decision to separate?

Answers on a postcard.

"Sorry, I have plans to mash on Monday. Can't rearrange".

Oh please send this

Accompanied by a link to the Monster Mash song as well...

You can mash potato with a fork - just sayin'...
