Watching The Birdcage again as tribute. Favourite line that I haven't really noticed before "You can't tell me John Major didn't have a bit on the side" 😄😄

Days that start with your AuDHD teenager ugly crying and throwing soft toys because he doesn't want to go to school, while rain pelts at the window, can only improve, right?

After a couple of days of hauling shit around and chucking things in a skip, I can barely hold my phone. Thankfully, I can still hold a glass of wine, so all is not lost

For context - my husband is atheist Catholic and I'm atheist Church of England. I only realised today that the Catholic Lord's Prayer finishes at trespasses and doesn't include "for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory" and I'm thinking that maybe Martin Luther had a point

There should be research done into how cats become 50% heavier when asleep. There must be some real world application - anti gravity? I bet if this had been done properly then we'd have those hoverboards we were promised

The Autistic Eating Society that meets in my house every mealtime does not like surprise texture in food. This means I trim meat to extreme and feed the scraps to the cats. The side effect is that every time I am heard cooking in the evening, this happens.

I told my husband I was going to try very hard not to disappear into Sims today and he full-on scoffed! He scoffed at me!

Pulling joggers on over my pyjamas to give the boys a lift to school in the pouring rain, I wonder who would win in a fight: Lambrini Girls vs. Viagra Boys

It's my day to dye the purple streak back into my hair so I have left off the products and left it to dry into a weird not-straight frizzy poof. Getting flashbacks to my awkward teenage years when "weird not-straight frizzy poof" would have been a good description of my entire existence

There is a room switcheroo situation coming which means I have to clear out my favourite dumping place - the bottom of the wardrobe. I did read that ADHDers work best if you reward yourself DURING a task, so I have a large cuppa and a bag of Minstrels.

My brother stated confidently yesterday that reading is not a hobby. I have now disowned him and regret reading the book he wrote.

Family is coming over. Trying to clean just enough to give the impression that we always live like this

Smoosh is 14 years old tomorrow! As a concession to his advanced years, I signed his birthday card "Mum" rather than "Mummy" for the first time

Had a guy very clumsily hit on me while I was processing his Foodbank voucher today -that was new. Not even if you had all your own teeth (which he visibly didn't); weren't wearing mirrored sunglasses inside (which he was); weren't at least 20 years older than me and smelt like an old shoe. Just no.

Things I have noticed from growing my hair for the 1st time in 15 years:
1. Curly hair products are much better and easier to find.
2. Hair gets everywhere. Literally EVERYWHERE. How do I still have any on my head?
And
3. The only hair clips worth buying are overwhelmingly marketed to toddlers.

"No, you cannot hit your sister!"
"But, Muuuuuummmm! She's in my spot!"

Trying to use a hairdryer and put on socks at the same time, whilst also cursing that I felt comfortable enough in myself to grow out my cropped hair

The woman who runs the local post office confuses me. She just sits and stares like she doesn't understand that there's a script and she's supposed to go first

A fox ran out in front of my car tonight. I slammed on the brakes and when it safely reached the pavement on the other side, it turned and glared at me as if the whole incident my fault. Definitely cat software running on dog hardware.

It sounds harsh but actually the only way you're going to avoid having to wrestle with your connection to an artist when they turn out to be a shithead is just to treat creators as normal people rather than parts of your identity.

Heard myself yell, "can you *just* take him for 15 mins while I take a nap, he won't shut up!" at my 16 year old. The "him" in question is a cat.

There's nothing quite like completely demolishing your family at a board game. Cheers a person up no end.

Today I held the funeral for my longest played Sim - Rafe. He took in his little brother, even though he had kids of his own, after I cruelly drowned his dads in the pool when I got bored of them.

It seems like all sleep hygiene advice, sleep hacks or tips fail to take into account that many people share their bedroom, bed, and house with other people
