Bumpie Group Chat: Business ideas we don’t have time to start, has mercury landed on the moon & where do you stand on this playground etiquette?

This Bumpie Group Chat we’re sharing the Mercury in retrograde energy at home (flooded driveways, dead appliances and a laundromat business idea that someone needs to build), plus some big hormone moods and a hot take on playground etiquette. We discuss…

• Life on a flooded farm: mould, bin chickens and a very busy rooster

• Perimenopause and the mood diary

• How Sophie’s 3 year old coped with mum going away for work, and a very wise 8 year old.

• Budgeting for dinner: the $5 meal challenge

• Halloween: who loves it, who hates it, Lord Farquaad and Princess Fiona, and why you should keep decorations kid friendly

• Playground etiquette: when do you step in if the other parents aren’t parenting?
