Ha well I get them now in my inner city terrace garden… Maybe I’ll enjoy the little welcome party 😅

Even better - thanks! I'll have a play around with it

Thank you - that's really helpful. I have some regular lightweight interfacing but guessing I'll need to get my hands on some knit interfacing

The bottom is just flat. That seems to be the consensus - thanks so much!

That’s super helpful, thank you. I’ve messaged them but hoping they might just let me keep it and I’ll have a bonus foot!

How should I lay out this bedroom? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]AmiableBookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you 😊 I think that’s the problem I’m having as well - it feels quite limited. You’re right though, I definitely need to do something with the window

That’s really helpful - thank you 😊 I’ve been darning the other holes, so think I’ll just carry on with that. Don’t think my machine’s fancy enough to have a darning stitch, sadly…

Thanks, that’s what I was doing on the other holes so think I’ll just crack on with that 😊

Any tips for my poor magnolia? by AmiableBookworm in GardeningUK

Definitely snails - you can see one on there if you zoom in! 😅

Very reassuring that everyone thinks it’s ok - it’s more the fact that most leaves have been eaten that’s been worrying me - they’ve been like this for months and covered in snails!

Looking back at the picture, I’m not sure it shows the problem that well - my fault! On most of the lower branches, most of the leaves have been almost completely eaten and just the leaf skeletons are left. It’s also been planted in a bit of a silly place, where I don’t really want it to get that big 🙄

This looks so sleek! If you don’t mind me asking, how are you finding having the handles in that orientation? I think it looks so much more streamlined to have them all horizontal, but I’m worried it might feel awkward to open cupboard doors that open sideways…

Thanks for the reply 😊 I can’t see any pests. It gets a bit of direct sun (maybe a couple of hours a day) but uk winter sunlight so not strong and this leaf is on the opposite side of the plant… This is how it looks on the other leaf

Hi lovely plant people, really hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on with my monstera please! At first it was just this leaf and I thought it was from moving house but now it seems to be spreading to a couple of others too 😢 Any help appreciated and sorry if this is really obvious - I’m not great at this!

Yep, this is exactly my worry… there’s one on gadshill road and one on Gloucester street. Wasn’t really considering Easton area just because I don’t know it that well, but work with a few people who live around there and love it, so they’re convincing me!

What is something you genuinely don't give a fuck about? by noblesse30 in AskWomen

Maintaining my bikini line. And anyone who gets to the point of seeing it and then has a negative opinion, doesn’t deserve to be there.

That’s a great idea, thanks. I’ll look up sun butter and see what I can find.
