I've nicked a title, opened the door, dusted off the bar.

Come in and drown your sorrows, celebrate or just hang out in good company.

@Keepemguessing

My DN despairs of me because I don't believe that she is actually a man, despite hormones and a double mastectomy. And I won't even pretend, beyond using her new name.
Sorry to hear that, that must be really tough. At least with kids you can hope they will grow up. Dont let it shake your sense of reality. Stay strong. Flowers

Im on the waggon atm, think I might try to order a plowmans lunch and a sparkling water.

dyslek · 14/07/2021 19:24

Oh yeah, and Sian Berry is fucking banned.

mollythemeerkat · 14/07/2021 19:27

Just gave a little cheer when I heard SB had resigned - she is definitely banned from this watering hole Dyslek

dyslek · 14/07/2021 19:31

I dont mind being the bouncer. I'll use my wit and logic (foul mouth Grin) to keep the undesirables out.

MaudTheInvincible · 14/07/2021 19:39

Well, well, well. That statement was an interesting read. 👀

I'll have a glass of white wine since I'm here. Cheers all!

How's the wokescold today Autumn?

Do we need to buy you a double or a triple?

AutumnCrocus · 14/07/2021 20:48

SB very good news!
More batshit wokescold stuff. Sigh.
I have some nice low alcohol cider, @dyslek

Cheers, wimms!

dyslek · 14/07/2021 21:01

Ooh, some low alcohol Cider would go down nicely, thank youSmile

Make a change from Shandy or tapwater Grin

AutumnCrocus · 14/07/2021 21:20

Mine comes from Sainsbury. It's quite good, tbh. Speaking as someone who makes cider from our orchard!

I've just finished. I might have a ginger ale and refrain from whimpering somewhere. If I look drowsy, please drop a blanket over me.

AutumnCrocus · 14/07/2021 23:25

Please, someone say I'm a nice person? Cos I've had yet another day of having shite from wokescoldary DD.
And honest, I'm actually an ok wimm mother, adult human being.

midgemagneto · 14/07/2021 23:27

Are you nice?
( hint pass chocolate and the answer is of course)

theThreeofWeevils · 15/07/2021 03:59

In the [sort of] spirit of mn and inspired by parenting advice - not in a GOOD way, never fear - try modelling bad-person behaviour for your currently ghastly child. Their hair might turn quite mouse with shock, if you do it right.
Now, what you need is good strong cocoa and a decent Calvados and some sleep.

Belatedly, thank you. Best night's sleep I've had in a while.

Toast, pastries, and bits and pieces available. I finished the previous jug but I'll put up some more coffee before I leave.

Good morning. Noticed some lovely marinated tofu somewhere around, do we have any of that? Chilli and black salt were also mentioned... (Although apparently some kinds of tofu get too saucy, so nothing like that, it's before the watershed.)

Flowers Flowers Flowers for everyone who needs them. Lissa Evans posted some lovely flowers in suffragette colours on Twitter this morning...

midgemagneto · 15/07/2021 10:39

Never tried tofu

Is there a starters guide?

DaisiesandButtercups · 15/07/2021 11:05

SelfPortraitWithEels fantastic, I’d love some tofu thank you!

That home made quilt and crochet throw are gorgeous!

mollythemeerkat · 15/07/2021 11:25

Our cat has taken over our best blanket. Miaou is all I can say.

Keepemguessing · 15/07/2021 11:39

My cat has taken to affectionately biting my noise in the morning. That'd be really cute if he could do it without making me bleed. Little blighter.

BlackeyedSusan · 15/07/2021 16:57

Autumn: if it is dd who thinks you are a shit person, then I think it is a win. She is probably a late developer in coming through the obnoxious stage.

my gifted teen(started the teen behaviour at about 7 which makes him very advanced) Wink thinks I am the worst parent ever when I am actually doing the toughest parenting and telling them NO

AutumnCrocus · 15/07/2021 18:14

She's late 20s fgs!
Doing a PhD! In a biology related subject!
