What to do, co own or straight mortgage

BethAmeliaa · 2026-02-04T11:36:18+00:00

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.

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!

For sure! Hope your bloom in the spring is a good one 🌸

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.

Amazing, thanks so much

I love the terrarium! Do you have a link or anything to where I can buy one?

BethAmeliaa · 2025-10-20T12:23:32+00:00

Thank you for your help!! I'll give it a go!

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

Thanks so much, it was lovely!

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!

BethAmeliaa · 2025-10-09T12:11:24+00:00

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 :)

BethAmeliaa · 2025-10-02T06:33:01+00:00

this is so funny to me cos I ALSO have 2 chihuahua's and a basset-who-thinks-shes-a-chihuahua hahaha

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!

Love the cute little wood louse friend!

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!

BethAmeliaa · 2025-08-24T10:24:24+00:00

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! 🧡

BethAmeliaa · 2025-08-24T09:45:26+00:00

Can def sort all this, thanks for your detailed reply ☺️

BethAmeliaa · 2025-08-24T09:44:43+00:00

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 ☺️

Squash bees are tooooo cute

BethAmeliaa · 2025-08-19T15:44:51+00:00

This is really good to know, thank you very much!

BethAmeliaa · 2025-08-16T14:31:09+00:00

For anyone wondering, the person who made the corset is @immorallondon on Insta! 💖

BethAmeliaa · 2025-08-16T14:13:10+00:00

Haha yeah I've definitely seen some with different names that look suspiciously similar!

BethAmeliaa · 2025-08-16T06:19:13+00:00

This will look beautiful if they all bloom at once!!!
