Being gentle to ourselves!

Right. No washing up today, the washing can rot in the machine, the shopping can stay in the supermarket (what's a bit of hunger anyway) and the dust can stay exactly where it's been for the last couple of weeks.

And who cares about a bit of garden mud on the kitchen floor?

MercedesYang Why do I always expect a link to a website to follow shortly on to your infrequent posts?

Your dust has only been there two weeks, J0? That sounds like boasting to me.

Actually the answer to the question in the last sentence of your post is, no. #blankmindnotgood

anno #mighthaveliedabit

Jo I always think there is a link coming up too.

hi, j08, I am an English learner and do not log in here regularly, in fact there are so many examination to test the English level for me to deal with, it's my interests to scan posts here when I am free especially in Friday. Thanks for your warm words! [smiles] Enjoy yourself and have fun!

j08, Why don't you complete your profile to let me know more about you? I have huge interest to see your posts in fact, please show me some mercy to let us know you, thanks in advance!

I think your opening post is wise, mercedes .

mercedes JO9 won't tell us anything about herself. Actually I think she's a *avision proceeding from an oe'er heated brain'

Done that (profile) #goodluckwiththat

That's a bit harsh, J0. Mercedes was only asking to get to know you better. I wonder what that 'profile' tells her about you.

Oh jingle

I've only just noticed that jingle's gone blue again.

What's a bit harsh? * Mercedes* asked me to do a profile and I have.

It (profile) doesn't say a lot, but who is really interested in what I watch on the telly?!

Agree jingle I didn't put TV, films or books on my profile, why would anyone care what I watched.

I'm not going blue again because I don't like the thought of my posts being tracked. Paranoid, moi?

Mercedes Now that I'm retired I love to let things go. I don't force myself to do things unless I really really have to. I do things I enjoy, and care little if they are not appropriate to my age, such as going to a Doctor Who convention, spending hours in the garden playing daft games with my Golden Retriever, or doing a bit of guerrilla gardening in the waste ground behind the railway station.

I see you are Chinese - my daughter-in-law is a Chinese (Cantonese) Australian. I love her - she regards herself as my daughter. She is a very clever girl, a scientist, and she and my son make a point of enjoying life as much as possible.

I think jO is the founder of Mumsnet s mother.dont know why just do.

I think it's great having more international posters. Mercedes tell us about your grandmother

Stansgran

I am NOT the mother of Justine Roberts. Or Carrie Longton.

Grandmother?

I felt you posted to keep things moving jO8 and there fore had an interest in the whole set up
