So long as within GN rules, post what you like!
About whatever subject you like!
No thread police or bossiness or pedantics here! Here's hoping.

I am being a bit tongue in cheek.
But I for one am geuinely interested in hearing what others are thinking.

So go for it on here!
Within GN rules of course.

No idea how the thread will go. But hey ho.
If no one posts, nothing lost.
I will have learnt that this type of thread is not needed.

what no glass of wine?

I always try to do that MaggieMaybe only water or tea in the evenings after the meal.It’s amazing how easy it becomes after a while and keeps off those extra calories.

BlueBelle Wed 22-Feb-23 20:44:08

Why Maggie that sounds like hell ?

Maggiemaybe Wed 22-Feb-23 20:42:07

We can post about anything? Well for the next 40 days I've sworn to give up eating after our evening meal. It's day 1, only an hour since we ate and I'm already pining for crisps. I'll have a glass of iced water and polish my halo to take my mind off it.

I had pancakes today in a cafe, with maple syrup.Awful.
The syrup was fine tho.
Did anyone see the pic of the princess of wales tossing what should have been a pancake?😄

Blossoming Wed 22-Feb-23 20:28:19

I’m hopeless at pancakes, we just buy some Scotch pancakes and have them buttered!

BlueBelle Wed 22-Feb-23 20:16:41

A mix, pancake mix, yes why ?

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 22-Feb-23 19:59:27

A mix?

BlueBelle Wed 22-Feb-23 19:56:44

Oh no I didn’t have any pancakes this year I ll buy a mix tomorrow and have them late
I m still fed up with these three ladies that keep popping up on the thread grrrr

Feeling for you!

Never come across a bath emoji before.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 22-Feb-23 18:30:44

Running a bath for 8yr old GS (sleeping over for 2nd night as his brother and Mum (DD) both have a V & D bug) our water pressure appears to be extremely low, our bath is big, I could be here for awhile 🛁

I am so hopeless at making pancakes, that it is one of the few things my husband makes. He took over making them after 1 bad pancake too many!
I will give him the recipe MrsKen33!

Jaxjacky Wed 22-Feb-23 18:30:13

I like Autumn best, I don’t like the very hot summers we’ve had, too humid here, loved them when we lived in France, dry heat.
We’re pretty clutter free, apart from MrJ’s corner, I’m ruthless, if it’s not been used for a year or so, it goes!

MrsKen33 Wed 22-Feb-23 18:27:35

I like these….
Low carb pancakes

1 banana
2 tblspoons peanut butter
2 eggs
Mix until reasonably smooth. Treat as batter. …..lovely

Galaxy Wed 22-Feb-23 17:55:09

I am terrible but the other way, I just chuck stuff if it's getting on my nerves shock

fancythat Wed 22-Feb-23 17:52:44

sodapop Anyone post here whatever they fancy.

Bluebelle Blossoming My decluttering - I find things I maybe should have thrown out years ago.
I have managed to get rid of two chest of drawers in the last few months.

I like longer days too. I like Summer best.

Blossoming Wed 22-Feb-23 17:45:02

Ha! I found lots of desirable objects when I attempted to declutter! I did quite well with the wardrobe, it’s all those little odds and ends you collect over the years.

BlueBelle Wed 22-Feb-23 17:37:07

I think it’s fine to have a non constructed thread isn’t that how conversations go anyway They meander and change direction I m presuming it’s just a wandering chat with no real subject
we offer something anyone who wishes adds to it or not as they wish and so on sphere goes ….
Does anyone else have all the intentions in the world to de clutter then see some object that takes their fancy and fills the newly created space right back up 😵‍💫

Blossoming Wed 22-Feb-23 17:34:01

Just now I’m thinking how nice it is that it’s 5:30pm and I don’t need to switch the light on, the days are getting longer and I love it.

sodapop Wed 22-Feb-23 17:30:44

Apparently you can't post what you want fancythat I have just been reprimanded on another thread for my post.

MawtheMerrier Wed 22-Feb-23 17:21:04

What exactly was the point of starting this thread?
We have Chat,AIBU, Ask a Gran and a whole list of specialist topics.
Other than starting OP's "own" thread - why?

Galaxy Wed 22-Feb-23 17:03:42

I think it feels controlling, in some cases people need to be quite robust to ignore it. I just laugh when it happens but it still feels odd.

Fleurpepper Wed 22-Feb-23 17:00:23

Indeed Maw.

Galaxy, how can something be 'controlling' if we all have free choice?

Galaxy Wed 22-Feb-23 16:48:34

Its rare that threads dont become circular to be honest.

MawtheMerrier Wed 22-Feb-23 16:43:45

This is both circular and pointless.
