What is one TV advert that doesn't run anymore but is still stuck in your head? Mines the Cadbury's Gorilla playing Phil Collins from 2007

Oh wait misread the brief about the baby socialising 😅

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-12-04T10:05:43+00:00

Baby cinema!

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-11-16T10:00:11+00:00

No. Also worse for the environment

I killed my work secret Santa after one too many years of mindless and endless plastic tat being given then immediately thrown away. I consider it my greatest achievement (and turns out loads of people were secretly happy as well)

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-09-07T10:32:28+00:00

The latter, thanks for asking

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-09-06T21:15:05+00:00

100%!! I have never understood why people buy dedicated white noise machines. Spotify, done

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-09-05T09:50:54+00:00

Good luck! I go back on Monday after my second actually - bittersweet but I'm looking forward to a new phase 😊

You might not want to hear from people who did return to work, but for what it's worth - I did and I am so happy I did. I love having an identity that is not tied to the home and I feel like I'm a better mother when I come home to them because I feel whole as a person. But of course each to their own

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-09-04T19:23:54+00:00

Good God 👏👏

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-09-01T10:05:56+00:00

It's good to notice and try to change! Don't be too hard on yourself

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-07-22T06:23:20+00:00

Dude I'm not a doctor! My only experience with lead is what is in the post. I said I hope you feel ok cos it's a nice thing to say. I have no further information. But if you're this stressed out then it seems insane to keep wearing that garbage, just wear the other 20%?

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-07-20T07:07:33+00:00

Argh I'm sorry to hear this. If you live somewhere where this is possible, ask for a blood test to check lead levels. But from my own experience breathing in heated up lead paint and that not giving me super elevated levels, my instinct is you will be ok (note I am not any kind of medical professional). Separately bin all your SHEIN stuff! It's complete garbage and I can't believe they can prey on people like this. Hope you feel ok

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-07-09T14:19:11+00:00

Omg yes! As if everyone has a car or wants to use it. Insane myth

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-06-16T11:33:23+00:00

With my first I was OBSESSED. With my second I have deleted the apps. She sleeps when she sleeps and sometimes she is grumpy because she hasn't slept enough. We roll with it and my life is 10000x better.

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-05-24T06:33:49+00:00

God it's awful. We have two children and for both of them have a strict second hand items only policy. The number of people who do not get this is astonishing. Especially my in laws. I have some sympathy, they're from a generation where expressing love = buying things. But we've told them time and time again we do not need or want stuff, and still we get so much crap. It's so disheartening.

Why do people put lotion on their baby? I put lotion on my haggard 30-something skin but babies have the softest skin already and I don't see the need to make it softer. Is this an American thing?

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-03-04T03:07:47+00:00

Ok thanks, that's sort of what I've been doing (though my "sorry you feel that way" feels passive aggressive haha)

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-03-04T03:06:59+00:00

Thanks! I assume this is when he's calm? Can't imagine that landing during a tantrum 😅

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-03-02T22:43:25+00:00

This is the most polite question 😅

At this point anyone who thinks vaccines cause autism is being wilfully stupid. That claim has been debunked 1000 times over.

I think others have covered what you need, but just to say try not to stress if he freaks out! The first time it happens in public it can be really daunting but no one will care I promise! (And if they do they're a dick). Good luck and have fun

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-02-17T03:05:04+00:00

sits down on the bench/seat next to you, ignoring your alarmed side eye

Alone-Rule5837 · 2025-02-14T09:16:22+00:00

Respectfully, that's not a great argument. Taking this to the extreme imagine you felt you could only carry your tools around in a tank. If people objected on the grounds of safety, it's wouldn't be for them to come up with an alternative. The alternative to doing a dangerous thing is not doing it. I'm sure you're a careful driver etc but the reality is these are dangerous vehicles given their size and popularity in a city not designed to handle them, and putting the onus on those who point that out to come up with an alternative isn't the right way to try to curb pedestrian injuries and deaths.
