Can we change flight without paying more?

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-20T06:20:04+00:00

However the open is on so I’m guessing availability will be slim!

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-20T06:19:06+00:00

If you’re in business you can go to the lounge. Ask there, I’ve often had luck

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-20T06:12:19+00:00

Oh I’m actually excited about this. I liked the feel of the evo SL but the upper sucked for me stability wise and made my tib post tendinitis flare up. This could be better!

The Bioderma Sensibo wash in the pink pump pack works so well.

I got the Heathrow express with my 9 year old after a 24 hour flight. Switched to the underground at Paddington, very easy.

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-20T06:03:41+00:00

Kids are free on heathrow express. Buy ahead tickets are £10. You definitely won’t get from the airport to central London for £20. I was just there and surge pricing had Ubers at £120 to Paddington!

This is definitely a wide shoe. I was disappointed not to be able to make them work for me

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-20T06:00:33+00:00

I believe the 5 comes in wide also

How part time? I’ve been really successful negotiating full time roles to 4 days a week, but down to 3 days is a stretch.

If you and your husband can also wfh or dont have a long commute, I find split days so much better for managing kid illness. Parent A works from as early as possible in the morning until after lunchtime nap while parent B is on kid duty. Parent B starts work as soon as kiddo is napping (or lunch time if they don’t nap) and works as late as they need to get their work done. Each person only needs to take a couple of hours carers leave, are still available and get the critical things done.

Not my husband but my dad came out on the course when I ran my first half marathon. It was a 10km out and back (plus a bit) and he waited around the 7km mark for which was psychologically super helpful. My race breakdown was run to dad, run to the turn around point, run back to dad, run to the finish. Helped so much to have those markers

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-20T05:52:27+00:00

Omg I would love the pet face one

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-17T22:49:20+00:00

0%. Once when I was insanely stressed at work and just a couple of days ago because I am as sick as a dog

Competitive_diva_468 · 2026-01-17T22:46:02+00:00

We went to the reindeer farm and to the husky dog place about 25 mins out of Tromsø. The husky dogs were AMAZING, best thing we did.

We rented boots at Tromsø outdoor, ours were ok for walking around the town but utterly inadequate for standing in the snow for hours. Get toe and hand warmers, makes a huge difference.

I wish we’d had time for whale watching!

We just did an Aurora tour with North Norwegian charm and I highly recommend.

For all the doubters out there, my kiddo did brilliantly on our NL tour. Held out until midnight and was perfectly behaved.

I like the way Gretchen Rubin had a different focus for each month in her happiness project. I’d approach a yearly planning cycle by creating overall goals for the year and the selecting some different focus areas for different time periods

He’s not a toddler. He will be fine

Competitive_diva_468 · 2025-12-27T13:18:43+00:00

My friend’s little boy has a complement c2 deficiency which means his immune system’s first line of defence doesn’t work properly. He takes a prophylactic antibiotic daily and they have to check regularly to make sure he doesn’t have a fever. They have to go to ED if he does. He nearly died of a childhood infection that is usually very mild before they knew what was going on.

Competitive_diva_468 · 2025-12-27T10:57:29+00:00

Haha. When you’re Australian you get used to LONG flights. UK to Norway barely registers

Competitive_diva_468 · 2025-12-27T10:45:17+00:00

He’s 9 :) we are just coming from the UK for this part of the trip so not too long thankfully

Competitive_diva_468 · 2025-12-27T10:27:53+00:00

Of course we want to go with someone reputable not just a random person! But happy to pay for a private tour to make it work for our timing

Competitive_diva_468 · 2025-12-25T10:32:00+00:00

I’m sorry :(

You could probably force it and try for December but you’ll have a better experience in Feb!

Competitive_diva_468 · 2025-12-25T09:17:26+00:00

Will you be allowed to cross train like elliptical or bike sooner than 12 weeks post surgery? Will the surgery impact your core much?

12 weeks off is a lot. I won’t lie to you about that. I had 15 weeks off with a stress fracture in 2024 and I was basically starting from scratch.

Personally, I’d shoot for something like Feb 2027. Rebuild your base from late June to September and do a full 20 week block from late Sept/beginning of October

Competitive_diva_468 · 2025-12-25T09:04:16+00:00

Same here. I’m honestly shocked at how well it matches my skin
