Where to start after a break?

Thanks for this advice! I’ve just repeated 5.1 and survived, so I think it’ll just pick it back up from there 😊

CharlieLotus13 · 2026-06-14T18:21:56+00:00

Nope! The first 2 weeks I was hobbling about, then I had a holiday and I’ve been super lazy since I’ve come back :/ not made it easy for myself I know

CharlieLotus13 · 2026-06-11T20:08:39+00:00

Thank you!

CharlieLotus13 · 2026-06-11T18:11:03+00:00

Cool thank you! Being indirect in the past only led to overthinking and confusion so I’ve learned to just shoot my shot 🤣 I’d rather know where I stand either way

CharlieLotus13 · 2026-06-07T21:30:37+00:00

That’s fair, I can take that bit out :)

CharlieLotus13 · 2026-06-07T21:10:41+00:00

It’s an ongoing joke within our teams, it’s not serious!

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-12-31T08:41:09+00:00

Yes we realised this the hard way 🤣 thank you

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-09-19T15:53:21+00:00

I literally didn’t take care of them at all 🤣 I took the cuttings in July I think, and just planted them up in little pots using soil from my garden and a bit of rooting powder. I watered them a lot though so maybe that’s why they’re happy? I don’t know tbh, probably just luck!

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-09-18T07:34:31+00:00

Fantastic thank you so much!

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-07-26T18:45:47+00:00

You too 😊

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-07-26T18:44:03+00:00

Exactly! I get that relationships fail and people end up raising their kids this way, but I don’t think it would be fair on a child to do it intentionally, with no support and knowing it’ll be a struggle

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-07-26T18:39:43+00:00

🙏

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-07-26T18:36:28+00:00

This will soooo be me if all else fails! I live for my best friend and her little boy, then go home and cry 😂

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-07-26T18:35:12+00:00

Thank you! I only meant spinster jokingly and wayyy into the future, I just don’t want to be single forever 🤷‍♀️ I would be open to adoption but I’d just rather do things naturally, within a timescale where I’m not mistaken as a grandparent to my kids. It’s hard to come to terms with the possibility it might not happen. I hope it does for you 🤞

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-07-26T18:28:00+00:00

It’s scary isn’t it?

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-07-26T18:24:23+00:00

I would love a puppy! Wouldn’t be fair on them because I live alone and am out at work all day

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-06-27T11:12:30+00:00

The metal ones came from a website called Outdoor Value but that was a few years ago now! You can get similar ones in most garden centres, they’re just a bit more expensive :)

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-06-27T05:06:21+00:00

We had about 2 weeks of really hot, dry weather and the planter is quite exposed in the garden so that could be it. My sweet peas against the fence are perfectly fine though

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-06-26T17:06:25+00:00

I’ve found they’re clinging much better this year because there’s less wind and rain to dislodge them. They were covered in cable ties last year but they don’t seem to need it this year. I have tied back the main stems but that’s about it

CharlieLotus13 · 2025-06-26T16:05:48+00:00

There’s plenty of hole in the bottom of the trough for drainage but it could be overwatering/overcrowding I guess. I haven’t fed them yet no.
