My children demanded Nutella on white bread for dinner tonight. I did wonder if I should call social services on myself then I decided it’s probably just delightfully French!
Ugh I used to love this! I don’t have any bread here so now I’m just going to have to cry instead

I do remember a letter to Just Seventeen once asking how many calories are in sperm.
Im very teeny tiny so I don’t know anything about diets *tinkly laugh* but there is one where you count food as sins or something *tinkly laugh* and someone on that diet posted asking how many sins in a throat lozenge….

Tsk. It’s ‘Syns’. By spelling it with a Y you remove all judgement and it’s just a random word that coincidentally makes it sound like eating a fricking wholemeal pitta bread you are somehow breaking a rule.

I cannot believe I've just googled this for you all.
Semen contains between 5 to 25 calories per "portion".
Can you have it on Bootcamp? Carb count please.

My husband has an obsession with turning everything off when we go away. He turned the fridge freezer off once when we went away for 2 weeks in the summer. I nearly turned around and went straight back to the airport when I walked in.
Mine is the same. One year he switched off the TV and wifi. I had set up the Sky box to record all my stuff as planned and I was raging.
I was going to LTB but not before I got my ducks in a row and cleared the joint accounts, of course but…..I was jet lagged and I didn’t fancy upsetting the kids so I forgave him.

I cannot believe we are talking about holidays. It’s so insensitive. My next door neighbour’s best friend’s hairdresser’s cousin’s dog walker’s daughter’s teacher’s uncle-in-law once died on holiday.
My Nan really did die on holiday, sadly she had only just arrived so didn't even get a last hoorah. From a practical pov it was quite a logistical nightmare trying to get everything sorted.

My only real take from the experience is always have holiday insurance, especially in the days before GoFundMe. (She did, no rattling tins on the High Street required)

Has anyone seen the thread (with photos) asking for weight loss advice? I don’t think the photos are of the OP. I think it’s someone she doesn’t like and wants people to criticise her clothing choices.
I wondered the same. The outfit choices are certainly not very ‘Mumsnet’.

Nary an Amish frock nor a mill girl boot to be seen.

My sister did that, once. It was the previously frozen bananas (I don't know why either) that stunk the house out.

There’s currently a thread where they are all talking about how overweight a 6 year old is at 4 stone. OP managed to get in that she is only 9 stone herself. There’s mention of her being obese, very overweight, needs to cut her food back, needs to make her do exercise etc. And lots of people going on about her bm

I do seem to remember hearing someone who had worked on J17 saying they wrote fake letters quite often and that was one of them. But I might be making that up in my own head!
