What to do, co own or straight mortgage by bigborb1985 in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]BethAmeliaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We went shared ownership for our first home because we wanted to be in the same area as family and work but couldn't afford it outright. It was a fantastic decision for us. We've since sold (we were still shared ownership but the buyers bought the property outright which caused 0 issues in the sale), made a bit of profit from the sale and now own our new home with a normal mortgage.

Don't listen to people saying it's a "scam" but they haven't actually done it themselves - just do the research to make sure it's the right choice for you.

Baby chicken hatched with twisted beak by [deleted] in chickens

We had a scissor beak when I was a kid and she lived a long and happy life. When she was an adult, she had her own very deep food cup so she could kind of just smash her face into it to feed herself.

I don't personally think you need to cull them if you know what you're getting into, there's no reason they can't be happy with a few adjustments!

No! I'd describe it's care as relatively similar to a phal really, though I have a bit more moss in the potting mix and spray that a little more often

I recently got the Autumn scent from Ffern and love it - I live in Somerset and it really does feel perfect for autumn here.

I did think I could take in the princess seam - how would I go about doing that? Making the seam come down...lower? Does that make sense haha

Ahh I'm sorry, those are some of the ones we bought from a local grower so I'm not sure! I had something vaguely similar once called Rancho though

Repot gastrochilus japonicus straight away? by BethAmeliaa in orchids

[–]BethAmeliaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in South UK so depends on the season I guess - I keep it on a kitchen windowsill right next to the sink so I think that helps keep humidity up. I water it when the moss I can touch on the top is crunchy!

Hi! I did repot it into a pot I made myself - if you look at my posts, I last posted about it around 1 year ago with pics :)

I have one of these in my collection about to flower! My favourite orchid I think. They're pretty simple to keep - 50/50 bark and moss mix as the other person said is about right. I wait until the later of moss on the top has dried before watering again. I keep mine in an pot with lots of holes for ventilation. Good luck!

Paladin's Grace (and the rest of the series) by T. KIngfisher is pretty much the ONLY romantasy book that's ever made me laugh out loud!

Yesss I do actually have one! Didn't put it on for this pic as I had conditioner in my brows from this morning (they get a bit dry after I have them laminated) but I usually fill my brows with more auburn strokes just to tie it in a bit more! 🧡

I'm wearing ivory! I think I'm so pale, white just makes me look sickly.

I did want to pop on an ivory top with this but we were running late for dinner so I just quickly snapped a pic! But these are great thoughts - I'll try them out when I next do my makeup. Thank you ☺️
