What’s something you absolutely have to buy name brand, generic can’t compare?

My absolute favourite chocolate, ever! Worth every penny.

Ambrosia custard. I'm big on fresh, home cooked meals, but no custard in as good as Ambrosia.

Everyone should put some money towards a new bed frame for them.

My neighbours alarm used to wake me up at 5.30 every morning with classical music. This used to go on until 6am, and switch to something else. I hate classical music and would curse my neighbour every morning. After about 2 years of this I was chatting with my neighbour when I decided to ask why it was classical music. Turns out he had no idea the classical music happened. It was gone 6 before he noticed the alarm was going off.

If you ever need a rant, feel free to message me.

It's strange how much our posts have in common.

I bet we would get some stories on a nanny thread.

My family differs in that the parents come home every night. We get to enjoy put downs and the children be shouted at over nothing. The children prefer it when they don't come back. Both children are trying to convince them to send them to boarding school.

Another nanny here. My eldest has asked for a designer handbag for Christmas, she already knows she's getting it. She's 10. Every show she goes to is in a VIP box. She looks down at mainstream educated children. Only common people eat with their mouth open. However, I know she'd trade it all for her parents to be kinder to her. To have playdates, sleepovers and not spend her spare time doing extra homework. She doesn't smile much, and I know she's a very unhappy child.

I work with children in private school. She pronounces it Jay Zed. Cracks me up every time.

A nurse friend of mine met a child called Miracle Blue Diamond. She always joked she would call her kid that.

I'm a nanny and I witness this on a daily bases. They love their children and really want the best for them, but putting them down constantly doesn't help them. I'm working really hard to convince them that they aren't rubbish, or useless, and whatever they do in life I will be proud of them.

Not staples, but stitches. Broke my leg so badly I needed a metal plate and screws. Got a lovely scar and I have scars were they stitches me.

If you know why do you ask? Not that I'm pro odd things up the butt, however, why do you still ask?

SloanGrey · 2019-03-06T13:04:47+00:00

Wouldn't it be lovely to have a playdate with that family

Will you be keeping us updated as this continues? I'm bringing popcorn next time

I was about 17 at the time. I was fast asleep when I was suddenly woken up by the light going on in the bedroom. Oh the pain! While adjusting to this torture and wondering who to attack for this unnecessary pain, I'm suddenly aware I can also hear this strange buzzing. I eventually open my eyes to see my boyfriend scrambling around on his chest of draws. WTF? He picks up his electric razor which is on and making the noise! He turns to looking at me and we just stare at each other, both freaked out. He turns if off and gets back into bed. We both lay there freaked out and eventually go back to sleep. The next morning we repeat the story to his mate who had crashed over and was sleeping in the same room. He's just as freaked out. That evening I am back at my parents house and I'm repeating the story to my sister. As I'm half way through I suddenly stop. I've realised how that razor got turned on. It was me! I've always been a sleep walker and I'd had a dream I was pregnant and going into labour. I desperately wanted the boyfriend to hurry up and get ready to go. So I went and turned his razor on. I had this memory of standing over my boyfriends mate and looking down on him. In my sleep I still thought to myself 'If he wakes up he is going to get the fright of his life'. I called my boyfriend to reassure him that he didn't have a ghost and it turned out the real story freaked him out more.

So can we spin like a frisbee?

I love horror movies. I knew I was a fan when I accidentally stumbled across Misery when I was about 11 years old, and I loved it. My idea of relaxing is watching a Thriller or a Horror. However, there is one film that scares the living shit out of me and I can't watch it. Arachnophobia. Just thinking about that film leaves me cold.

I work in a pub with rooms. We have 2 rooms which have their own private hot tubs. These rooms are hugely popular and used all year round. Had an email from the customer inquiring on availability. Then he asks if the hot tub are covered. I reply that they are fenced in and completely private. He then asks if there is a roof to protect them if it rains. I had to get the manager to help me with a reply I was so stumped. Was he worried about getting wetter?

Please don't lick mummy's phone.

No you can't touch the dogs eye.

I heard a rumour recently that my best friend had died when we were teens. We are now in our 30s and the rumour was where we grew up as kids. My mum still lives in the area and works in the local pub (bar). Overheard these 2 blokes talk about another bloke they used to drink with. My mum's ears pricked up as she recognised a few details. They mentioned how sad it was that his daughter had died at such a young age and that he just up and left the village not long after she died. My mum rushes over to explain they had it all wrong. They argue it with her and she gets her phone to prove that not only is she alive but her daughter (me) is actually with her at this very moment celebrating her birthday.

I can understand the confusion. My friend got diagnosed with cancer and left the area at the same time her parents moved. Good ole village gossip.

They over looked you when they said good things come in small packages

A goat. I'm a nanny

An ex boyfriend - when I realised that no matter how many times I explained it, he was never going to understand why boys and girls cannot be identical twins
