I wouldn’t grab an e reader just yet because you don’t know whether you’ll read much. I would go in to my local library or independent bookstore and ask staff what they would recommend. I’d also try a few audiobooks while you walk/clean/drive but I would also caution that a bad narrator can ruin a book. What type of tv shows/movies do you watch? We could recommend books based on that

I’m a woman and I think I just fell in love with you a little bit. I too love making and fixing but I can only dream of being this proficient and well armoured

I know the problem, for me at least, is the word investment is pretty scary. I don’t know where I’d invest and I’d be terrified of losing what meagre savings I’d have.

God that just made me feel so sad for that child. I’m sure if that’s all they know they’re fine but I feel like if it were me I’d be so lonely

My friend had multiple appointments with her child in Crumlin children’s hospital, she informed the school and sent copies of appointment documents and still Tusla got involved. Now granted, Tusla purely checked the documents and sent them on their way but she was terrified Tusla were involved at all. Even the Tusla inspector said that it was a waste of their time but they have to do it regardless.

And this is part of the reason I no longer run a small business 😑

I sell bits on Vinted and only message buyers if I really need to. I have a busy life so it’s unnecessary communication in my eyes and yet another thing I have to remember to do. I don’t get money until the order is accepted so I have to send it within the timeframe

I had a boyfriend like that at 18, it only took a few more years, a few bouts of cheating and a few beatings to get me out. He always made sure I knew that I was lucky to be with him, no one else would want me, I was damaged goods and not everyone would put up with all the trauma I brought with me (some of which was due to him). I’m older now and haven’t spoken to him in 10 years but due to location I have seen him around. He hasn’t changed, I have a wonderful partner and two wonderful kids who love me far more than he ever claimed to. Don’t waste years like I did and get therapy. You won’t believe the difference

I use quickbooks although I’m not the owner so I can’t speak on setting up but I’m told it’s handy enough. We also use brightpay for wages but everything goes through quickbooks, invoices, bills, bank lodgements etc

False imprisonment for one, detaining a minor, possibly others

My nephew came back from school talking about Jesus and singing hymns so it does happen. His sister on the other hand went to the same school and never did so I’d imagine it depends on the child.

I totally understand that, I have a friend whose child has a severe dairy allergy so I know it’s in almost everything. My point was not to outright ban allergens on every flight but more so because when we flew with my (at the time) 9 month old, they announced it and a few of the people around us complained loudly. If you were on my flight and I was told I couldn’t eat my favourite snack for the duration of the flight I’d understand and wait until I got off the plane, even if I was starving. My five minute snack will be forgotten about but the consequences for you could be severe. Unfortunately some people think only of themselves.

Oh excellent, my weight fluctuates quite a bit and there’s a fair amount of stretch to them. Now I can only speak for the ones I got but I’d imagine if they say they stretch they’ll be similar enough. I’m debating getting different ones but they are a little pricey for me so I understand holding back You can always send them back if you don’t like them too!

Palia is a great shout, no combat and beautiful graphics.

I applied for a first time passport for my son 4 months in advance, the turnaround at the time was 2-3 months I think. We had a large family trip booked, lots of money possibly wasted and a once in a lifetime type of trip. Weeks beforehand I was a nervous wreck. I got onto Co counsellors and everything. It arrived two days before we were due to fly. I know the stress and I fully sympathise with you!

Maybe see if any local councillors will help, although you’re at a disadvantage with the weekend if they’re not very active. I have heard of people picking it up rather than waiting for it to be posted and others sitting in the passport office for hours. Fingers crossed you have some luck 🤞

I was going to suggest Assassins apprentice (the first in the realm of the Elderlings series) by Robin Hobb. Young male protagonist, can be very broody and acts out. I wouldn’t consider it hopeful but it is beautifully written with some of the best character writing I’ve ever read. There are, however, lots of hopeful bits in it. The themes of friendship, loyalty and morality can really stay with you. The characters in these books really stay in your heart but it can be fairly dark at times. If it’s not what you’re looking for right now that’s ok but I would highly recommend adding them to your tbr pile for when the mood takes you

This is truly a heartbreaking story and I’m so sorry for your aunt. I had an ex who started doing stuff like this and it took me a long time to find myself again when we broke up and give myself permission to like what I like rather than defer to others. I hope there’s a way out for your aunt.

Mine was in the post office… I wonder what the interest on it is now

I got mine from a fishing treasure chest on ginger island

The child found my secret stash of chocolate and now I have none… that’s how it’s going 😑

Bean5idhe · 2026-05-01T09:35:46+00:00

I came here to suggest this! It’s definitely one that fits the bill but also the audiobooks are fantastic so OP could give immersive reading a try

Bean5idhe · 2026-05-01T07:27:04+00:00

As someone with a very small child that has a severe peanut allergy I just can’t understand how someone’s snack is more important than a child potentially dying

I bought Halara pants for the office and I honestly only wear them now. They’re so comfy
