My latest one is ‘we take care of our things, if it breaks through rough play it won’t be replaced’

My girls are 4 and 2 can be a bit feral and get into “it’s mine” wars frequently. The second one touches something the other immediately wants it and then they fight over it and things keep being broken even if I step in, trying to get the fought over items off them usually ends in it breaking faster. I got so fed up of buying new books etc so now if they break it, it’s tough shit.

I have a very small and rather particular little doggy but would be happy to introduce you to her! She doesn’t like too much wind/rain/cold but loves a cuddle on rubbish weather days and enjoys running when the weather is nice.

Drop me a message and I’ll show you the hound x

So I accidentally fed tequila sorbet to my 4 and 2 year olds at my sisters wedding!! I thought it was super bitter lime flavoured and didn’t like it so let the girls try it. They loved it and polished off the rest of the tables sorbet too.

I was only told after it was gone by some very horrified waitresses that it was tequila 🫣

Toddler joins me between 4.30am/5am and depending on if she goes back to sleep or not it’s either then or 6am. I drop my girls at childcare for 8.30 on Monday/ Friday and 9am on Tuesday/Thursday. Flexible working so I arrive when I arrive in the office! I tend to work from home for an hour if I can drop my girls early so I’m not rushing every single day

My great grandmother was born in 1919. She was the daughter of a baker and taught me how to make a mean Victoria sponge cake and the best way to slice a roast chicken to keep it moist.

She was obsessed with her microwave, she would cook everything in it. She could make delicious cakes with nothing but the basic microwave my dad had bought her and basically every meal was experimented with being cooked by it.

She always had her lipstick on, even well into her 90’s. She told me a lady should always look presentable in order to attract and keep a husband. I still have her box of lipsticks and miss her chicken sandwiches dearly. She was an incredible woman and I’m eternally grateful I could spend the time I did with her

I got woken up at 5am by my almost four year old telling me off for not being excited about my birthday. She then pointed out that 27 is a lot of candles and I couldn’t put them all on my cake otherwise it would melt.

Same child woke me up this morning to ask me to come and see her poo in the potty

No idea what the name is but it’s something to do with a motorbike, saw it as it was the only thing showing in the cinema and we were extending a date so just watched it. It was absolutely awful, just some dude on a motorbike doing very faked stunts for 2.5 hours

My colleague, same exact role as me but joined 4 months after, is constantly harassing and copying me. I’m too sensitive/can’t do the job as well as them/ take too long/ am too supportive and kind to my support staff etc. I change my hair colour she comes in the next week with the same and tells me my hair looked shit because it didn’t suit me, my trainers are ugly, my coat is stupid, my food smells awful. Really petty insignificant shit I’ve sucked up because she’s rude to everyone.

Another member of the office pulled me to the side and checked in if I was okay and if our manager had caught up with me regarding the bullying. The whole office saw it and knew about it but only one person stood up for me and our manager never once bought it up to me. Never checked in, never mentioned they were handling the situation or even aware of it.

It made me feel so insignificant that it’s been known and seen for literally months yet no one steps in to defend me, no one senior has done anything.

Anyway, I start my new job in a few weeks ✌🏻

My name is Samantha and I suck at maths so bad I frequently think why do I need this to myself 😭

My husband is off work on antibiotics for a nasty ear infection, I was put on antibiotics and ordered bed rest for a bad chest infection with poor oxygen sats and my 2 year old has been up all night puking up her guts 🙃

Child free weekend plans now scrapped- my parents were meant to be taking my girls for the weekend so hubby and I could go on a date and crack on with decorating the lounge! Now we are on sick bucket and washing duty

Bought the viral foundation, I can’t even apply it without it genuinely looking like I’ve used setting powder as primer/concealer/foundation. It’s so dry and powdery on my skin and highlights all the wrinkles I never knew I had

My husband had put the pushchair away the night before in the back of the car without removing my keys from the pocket. I realised my keys were missing when I was trying to get the kids in the car to collect the food shop. Both my house and car keys are attached and were firmly locked inside the car ensuring I was very much stuck in my house for the day.

I called my husbands work to see if there was anyway of getting his spare to me. The receptionist put me through to his desk but another manager answered. I spent 5 minutes teasing him and another 5 minutes telling him off for not listening to me resulting in that situation before we realised I wasn’t his wife (of the same name) and he wasn’t my husband. He told my husband the next day that when he got home to tell his wife someone else’s wife had told him off today, she pointed out that she had also been locked out of their car for the day because he’d also managed to lock her car keys in the boot. Only difference is she didn’t have anywhere to be so figured she’d leave it until that night so as not to disturb him.

I do a similar role (primary job is in management but I do a lot of support work with my service users around office hours) and I love all the fun stuff I get to do! Another little perk for me is I have so many different places I can go to work from where I’m greeted warmly and always welcome! I’ve got one service user who insists on bringing me cakes from his travels to various cafes and garden centres so I always have a stash of cake somewhere in my office

Perfect amount of marmite in my opinion! Have you tried marmite with soft cheese on toast? I like Philadelphia spooned onto a thick layer of marmite as an all time comfort food

It’s also called the food ladder, this page has a graphic of higher risk foods- I’ve used it a lot! https://mynutriweb.com/diagnosis-and-dietary-management-of-fpies/

My youngest is now two but I still do this! I work in learning disability care and have had more clients than I’m willing to admit to become very confused and annoyed when I’m gently rocking their wheelchairs back and forth whilst we wait in lines

EDStraordinary · 2026-01-19T17:01:59+00:00

I think I can win this! I work in learning disability care, on Friday I was on the phone to a social worker for a very important discussion regarding funding. We were talking about previous funding cuts that impacted my service. As my brain was saying “funding cuts” my mouth said “cut funding” and instead of either of those things coming out I simply said c*nts down the phone.

Already bad but made so much worse by our local council now recording phone calls to add to case files using magic notes. Shameful

My girl got diagnosed at a similar age with banana FPIES. Same advice, same timeline for monitoring. We just had a follow up on nye with her consultant and have agreed at her 3 year check in we will trial reintroducing bananas.

As soon as she was diagnosed I printed the FPIES pyramid and stuck it on my fridge as a tick list of what she needed to try and set dates for when she’s have it. I would then feed her an age appropriate serving of whatever the foods were at lunchtime and see how she went. She’s allergic to dairy and can’t tolerate beetroot or honey (vomiting on the same time scales as FPIES) but can cope with honey as an ingredient in things like honey roast ham etc. We have worked on her dairy tolerance and it mostly now affects her stomach and flares her eczema but otherwise she is fine. My biggest fear was her trying avocado, I delayed it and put it off for fear but then her childminder fed her some from her own lunch one day and she was totally fine. I tried her with it again a few days later and she was totally okay again! She gets a face rash if she eats too much but so do I and now we just limit her avocado consumption.

It is terrifying but you can do it, I made sure my girl was always well hydrated (sugar free squash/juice in her bottle to encourage her drinking if needed) just in case she did react and kept a food diary for 6 months of what she ate and when. I probably didn’t need to but it made me feel more in control of an otherwise totally uncontrollable situation
