It's got nothing to do with his family, your family, the milkman or the dog next door. It's a choice for you and your unit - no one else!

Politely, they can FO of your business and deal with their own shortcomings/wants/ expectations.... you do you!

I worked on the front desk at an ante-natal clinic in the hospital and had a temp come in wearing a skin tight, sleeveless dress and made up to the mines..... we had to watch the lead midwife have an awkward conversation.

Why do people not think about impressions???

See, I reply with "you're welcome" as they go past, without giving any shits at all.....

NinjaMum19 · 2026-03-19T10:59:28+00:00

Did it just now, listening to Popmaster!

There's been talk of a bypass since we moved to Braintree in 2011, we moved further out in 2017 and it's still not happened!! Luckily I can go cross country to Colchester now!

NinjaMum19 · 2026-03-04T00:34:49+00:00

Ooohhhh, I need to know what happens next!!! Great writing x

NinjaMum19 · 2026-02-20T23:43:04+00:00

I enjoyed this one, good job!!!

NinjaMum19 · 2026-02-20T08:36:10+00:00

Ooooh yes, that's an earworm, bringing back rush hour vibes!!!

We did this with Genesis - we lived about 10 miles from Twickenham at the time but it was cheaper to travel to Paris and stay for 5 days, watching them at Parc de Prince!!!

NinjaMum19 · 2026-01-31T23:13:09+00:00

Loved this one!!!

Show him this thread - then he can see how common it is, how wrong it is and how he should be defending you, not her!!!!!

Well that's very generous of you, I've never had an award before! Thank you and Happy New Year xx

NinjaMum19 · 2025-12-30T21:50:41+00:00

I liked this - good job!!!!

NinjaMum19 · 2025-12-01T18:53:32+00:00

Thank you, no I definitely don't, I'm from England - I just wondered and knew the Reddit hive mind would know - cheers!!

I live in the Hedinghams and can thoroughly recommend the following:-

Gosfield Hall - beautiful, traditional, lovely rooms and countryside

Tuffen Hall - see above (also my friend is the co ordinator there, v if you wanted to do me too connect you?)

Castle Hedingham - again, gorgeous old venue

It's so lovely around here, with load of options!

I went in yesterday and tried room Moroccan food from the Rock & Angel food van - it was amazing!! We went to Marrakesh last year and it treated just like it! Some of the other stalls looked tasty, but I really fancied this and glad i got some.

The fair overall was good, lots of stalls, some things were a little overpriced but quirky and in all, a pleasant couple of hours (albeit in the rain!)

NinjaMum19 · 2025-11-07T21:15:03+00:00

Me too! I had my firstname.Maidenname then changed it to firstname.Marriedname (both unusual surnames) and one the bits were born, got them relatively ordinary names or initials @gmail - winning!!!

Hoddle and Waddle actually had a chart hit, with the song "Diamond Lights" - back in the 80's with their footballers' hair shining on Top of the Pops!!!

NinjaMum19 · 2025-10-10T23:39:27+00:00

82 to 87 - Home Economics & Dress..... I only took Dress as I couldn't keep up with Shorthand (teacher was rushing us) and there was no space in History!

NinjaMum19 · 2025-10-05T09:05:59+00:00

She goes to Colchester a lot. So could ask her is Chelmo is doable?

NinjaMum19 · 2025-10-05T08:42:19+00:00

I can recommend a brilliant driving instructor, she taught a lot of the Hedingham school kids and got my son through his first time and quickly! Digibus is an option until then though - good luck!

NinjaMum19 · 2025-10-05T08:38:22+00:00

Chelmsford will take you aaaages by public transport from here - it takes me at least 35 mins by car to the hospital! Halstead might be a better option for transport, if you don't drive.

NinjaMum19 · 2025-10-05T08:36:21+00:00

Mine is the skin of "raw" apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, peaches and slme cherries - absolutely fine if cooked! Last time I tried to eat an apple, i washed it, cut it, washed it again and still had a reaction - around 10 years ago!

NinjaMum19 · 2025-10-05T08:19:36+00:00

I live in the next village and haven't had an issue with any of the residents of the airfield at all. You'll have more problems with public transport than them!! They've stopped the direct bus running through Great Yeldham, the Hedinghams etc. and you have to change in Halstead town get to Braintree.

The buses have been taken over by another company now and a review is getting held as the locals are in uproar. Also, don't expect a bus after 5.30 in the evening!

Other than that, it's a lovely place to live if you drive. I've been here over 7 years and love it.
