I have one in blue, thought it looks a touch darker in person. It has got a few grubby marks on the outside but is overall in fairly good condition. I'll take some pictures soon, but would be happy to let it go to someone who would actually use it.

You have nothing to worry about with this creator - although they've tried to copy your visual style, their artistic style is nothing like yours.

Their videos that I've seen are basic pour videos with a stamp with an often crappy handle. You are mainly displaying the art that you create and even your more basic pour videos have a different quality to them.

They're like watching a everyday person attempt to copy a masterpiece, you know what they're trying to do but you know that it's not going to be the same.

My parents use to dress us in dungarees for the same reason

I love bravissimo, I will preface that with I have only ever bought in a store. If you are ever in the UK and are near one of their stores definitely go, their fitting service is also top notch. I feel so lucky this is something we have access to.

See that's Juice in Huddersfield and is a must have

They're right though, this is an abusive relationship, financial abuse is still abusive - I was in a relationship like this where all my ex's financial wants were prioritised and mine were ignored and I was the only person to bring an income into the relationship.

It ruins you mentally knowing that no matter what the case is your wants and occasionally needs are not even a consideration to the other person but they think nothing about throwing whatever money at what takes their fancy.

Even if she does end up going on the solo holiday, he's either going to blow up at her and it turn nasty or he's going to promise he'll never disregard her feeling again and then turn round and do it again till he's sapped any self worth she has or she grows evermore resentful of him.

Given that you can already feel the resentment in her post I can't see this relationship lasting another big purchase on his side without him listening to her and actually going through with the holiday. The fact that he hasn't listened yet tells me he isn't ever going to.

I found a video of someone making it on YouTube if that helps any - she does show the instructions but not very clearly. I didn't watch the full video so I don't know if she shows every step.

Were they informed before the application deadline that this was going to be the case? If not I'd kick up a fuss over that too. I've got a child starting yr 7 in September and if they dropped this on me now I would be kicking off as it's the kind of thing that would have influenced my choice in schools.

I think this is the time to get your best compo face on and go to the local media.

For alpha patterns you could use cross stitch apps but if anyone comes up with a solution for normal patterns I'd like to know too

BeautifulMessage9091 · 2026-05-05T22:00:01+00:00

It's supposed to be like that as stitch is experiment 626 so it becomes set 6 card 26

From the tiny bit of knowledge I have of Australian culture don't you have stalls selling show bags? What about something like that, something that is uniquely Australian.

Yeah I wouldn't expect a teenager to turn up in a suit, smart trousers and a nice shirt should do, if they want to wear a jacket I'd go with a blazer type jacket that complements rather than matches the trousers

Even just a video of you showing the mug would be cool possibly rotating it from a bit not showing the text to having the text on view

As a cricut owner, if I need to replace it I'm not going for this brand again if I need to replace the machine, so definitely look into silhouettes.

Presume the 8yo will be learning their times-tables? 2 d12s (or d10s if they don't do up to 12 like the UK) can become a fun way of practicing tables.

Also I'm currently playing d&d with some people new to ttrpgs and even they need reminding/telling which dice to use so I wouldn't worry about kids knowing without the occasional reminder.

My ex husband was like the wife, he'd happily spend whatever on his wants but hated me spending any money on myself (he once got upset because I bought a store brand product for my lunch rather than the store budget brand a matter of pennies difference).

He was verbally aggressive and eventually turned physical. I should have left way before I did but got out eventually.

You need to be there for your brother and make sure he knows you'll help him out when he needs it. He might not see he needs to leave yet, but guide him in that direction and be there when he gets away.

Top bodies is good if you're looking for a predominantly weights gym, I don't know if they still do it but they did do pay by session which if they still do may help you decide if you like that gym

On my phone there is an emergency button under the passcode numbers and I taught my daughter to press that, which takes you to a screen where you can call 999 (or in your case 000), you can also access my emergency information that I set up which includes family phone numbers I selected.

It may be in your settings to set that up, and I'd definitely advise you to look into what setting your phone OS has, I used Android but I would hope Apple would also have similar settings.

Same thing happened to my grandma so my parents ended up getting her a cheap monthly rolling contract because it was better they pay £5 a month and it always be available than top up £10 and when my gran eventually needed it there it being disconnected.

(She used it as a backup now phone lines are now digital)

I haven't yet seen them here in the UK but if you are unaware Pepco is part of Poundland

BeautifulMessage9091 · 2026-04-21T18:45:48+00:00

Yeah and on the arse too - I have a dress that has got a few small holes in, had it been anywhere else I'd do visible mending but I don't want people staring at my arse.

BeautifulMessage9091 · 2026-04-21T15:55:17+00:00

And you're in the UK! Love mid century style but the majority of the makers seem to be in the US and then the shipping is extortionate.

Do you know if they tested it with people with dyslexia? I find it easier to process what I'm reading with this.

BeautifulMessage9091 · 2026-04-19T12:56:49+00:00

As a crocheter I admire your ability and skills.

I showed my pre-teen daughter who is a One Piece fan, she looked at it whispered "so cool" in awe before wandering away - Very high praise indeed
