Lol I've been eating loads of cheese & ham toasties

I could easily live off cheese and ham toasties.

Ah it's so difficult I don't want a big drama or argument but I feel like we probably aren't good influences on each other to be honest and I've put it off and off but I want to sort my life out after this hopefully and we always end up getting ourselves into not so great situations together. but I think your right just need to be completely honest x

just ghost her I would

My dog is pissing me off today god I love her but I swear she keeps barking at every arrggghhh stfu!

Anyone else just feel so much more bored at night? Currently catching up on corrie I'm like 10 episodes behind

 

[SkinnyTurkeyDinosaur]

I qued outside dobbies for half an hour to get into dobbies and all I bought was some apples and this sheep but I love him so much

 

[Annie101]

got dressed this morning in the boyfriend jeans that now fit like skinny jeans

 

[Che Guevara]

Is it the pink moon tonight?

Are you usually away at uni or do you study from home?

Yeah pink moon. I do open uni, funny how I have all this time at home now and I haven’t done a single bit of study time to pull my finger out lol

 

[LasVegas702]

Oh I've never thought to grow ginger - is there a specific time of year to start growing it? I have a mint plant, albeit potted separately from my other herbs as I read it can run rampant sometimes - not sure how true that is but it's definitely hardy as it keeps coming back really well.


It was a bit funny first thing this morning but think that was more likely my wifi as the threenager had been switching the network extender on and off!

here's a thread talking about the problems people are having with this website lately

Tattle not working?

Anyone else’s tattle just simply not working today? It’s been really slow, the pages won’t load just a white page. I’m on safari on iPhone and it says there’s a problem with the browser, but I’ve never had a problem before, not sure if the site is down?

tattle.life

I always wanted to ask what SODS stood for or if they were just being referred to as SODS as a couple which is far too tame a word imo anyway I felt too much of a lame arse to ask haha

Aye a just thought of when people say of you're a cheeky sod like hahahaha well at least u know now I'm daft enough to ask

 

[MrsGarcia]

are they telling you that very thing you are chucking is really special and they need to keep it? My youngest does that, that’s why i tend to be reckless when they are at school.

EVERYTHING is their absolute favourite I have to bag quickly and remove all evidence from the house

 

[Londoncailín]

I bought the pack of mini eggs where you get like ten small packs because I thought it’s easier to portion control that way. Have eaten 7 packs since yesterday. May as well have bought the big single bag and scoffed the lot instead. I do nothing but eat.

This made me lol

 

[grumpycat]

I was too embarrassed to say “Could you please get me the biggest bar of Galaxy or Cadbury’s Whole Nut you sell, kind sir! Actually, make it two! Oh and throw in some Ferrero whilst you’re there!”

to be fair I think they’d probably agree that it’s essential

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

I don't mean to bring the tone of tattle down with such a mumsnet question, but just had a domestic over farting in front of me (it's been going on a while now and I can't deal with the smell in pregnancy) - AIBU to think it's fucking disgusting? do your husbands do this too? like a fart is literally poo why would you sit on the sofa and do one?

Well it sounds like you did your friend a service then

I have this group of male friends from uni (my course was very male-heavy) and they are SUCH film geeks (even more than me)

anyway they do a weekly zoom quiz and I join .. I really love quizzes - have been doing some with the school mums - but ones with the lads are on another level of geekery. I’m going to have rack my brains for some really hard, Obscure questions to stump them!

anyway, tl;dr: my uni mates realllly cheer me up, even over zoom. I’m really glad you have a good friend who checks up on you and brings you olives and dates!



Yep it’s nice and refreshing with water - sounds like a good mix - and to be honest not at all as bad as ice lollies you can buy - like I bet there’s loads of additives / sugar in most?
When I was pregnant with my second i was obsessed with sorbet (which is bad for you sugar wise) as definitely needed that sweet / crunchy / coldness to take away the weird metallic taste some nights / acid reflux the other nights!!
Why don’t you get a cornetto multipack on your next delivery shop? Take to park in a cool box?

YES! Also the acid reflux is such a weird thing - thankfully I've only had it a few occasions (I've heard it can be really bad for some women?) but it feels so very alien. I love the crunch, I'm waiting for mine to fully set and cannot wait. I'd guess 2/3 lollies = 1 glass of OJ? Also this is gross but fruit juice is really good for constipation so I'm pretty much labelling them a health food.

Also cornettos SCANDALOUSLY have been sold out on Ocado since lockdown?!! Tbh all ice creams in cones / ice lollies have been it's how I got desperate enough to attempt them - didn't think they'd be so good so thank you <3

Thank you, and @Pocahontas too...will bear those names in mind, especially A something 12!

@heretoreaditall2019 definitely post birth goals, unless you’re pulling up the draw bridge a la MOD?!

@Pocahontas we do a weekly zoom quiz with my fiancé’s uni mates - they like it all to be very serious/highbrow so when we were quiz masters I brought it down a notch or two. We had a round on Ikea or Swear and Ikea or Chair, we did an intros round of playing 5-10seconds of old TV themes, then rounds on random things like the Simpsons before a final round or ‘Will it float?’. Plus I made them all get up to go find random objects ahead of each round - not a classics question in sight!

What was the fanny admin thing? Was she seriously advocating that pregnant women tend to their downstairs regularly? I can't even see mine anymore, I'm freaked out by the belly button too.

Why do teenage lads think it’s cool to call you fat as they drive past with their shitty mates??? Even at 30 years old comments like this still hurt. I’m so pissed off people like this exist Absolutely ruined my evening walk.

Because they are rude fuckers thats why!

 

[ILoveUnicorns]

I think with the first it’s easier to take it mega steady but when you have the second or more that’s impossible. I thankfully had two very straightforward natural births. I remember within week 2 of having the second baby, we were visiting our local country park and I was jumping on the big bouncy cushion with my then 3yr old i did spin realise bouncing with weak pelvis might not be a good idea, but I just wanted to make a fuss of my eldest after not being as active with her. I think it all depends on how your birth was and how you feel. You can not make a blanket rule to cut off for two weeks it’s not realistic.

 

[Ohflogoff]

absolutely snap though my little one is 4 months. People said maternity leave was lonely but I didn’t expect this lonely! I miss my mum

Maternity leave is lonely at the best of times, but this is another level. I feel for you x

 

[TheFabFader]

Apology I wasn't sure where to ask this. How do I find the form for the self-employment grant that will come in June? The 80% help the government announced recently, how do I apply for it? I'm confused.

This might be a start, hope it’s ok.

[Withdrawn] Check if you can claim a grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme

If you're self-employed or a member of a partnership and have been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19) find out if you can use this scheme to claim a grant.

[rainbowlemon]

wait - is she laying it on incredibly thick with him?! also are you in uni halls, can't she use the library computers? I haven't been out in the real world in 3+ months I don't know what's open or not! x

Yep clear into him vibes.

We live in uni accommodation and he's on the same floor as me, but we're in the CZ so haven't been hit as bad as the UK. We were also in lock down longer but everything now is pretty much the same as it was before.

Don't worry about the little twerps. In twenty years time you can drive past them screaming 'baldy' out of the window.

 

[Londoncailín]

I have the burning desire to fake tan, but I have no mitt. Do we think I can just use a sock instead? not sure what’s coming over me but I’m also going to dye the ends of my hair pink too

We are all going to come out of this lockdown looking like a bag of skittles

 

[Ineedmorecoffee]

Me included

And me! I may or may not have a couple of boxes of Sauvignon stockpiled in my garage....

I’ve got a list in my head of things I want to get done while I’m at home. Half way through clearing out and cleaning my kitchen cupboards for a start.
