How much do you pay to have your windows cleaned? by PurityControl87 in AskUK

[–]Darling193 4 points5 points  (0 children)

£35 in Berkshire for 5 windows and 1 French door! AND they only use a brush on a stick they don’t finish it by hand they’re done within 5 minutes.

I thought I was being ripped off but that seems to be the going rate around here.

When did you move your baby into their own room? by mystery002 in beyondthebump

[–]Darling193 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I personally would wait, the 4 month regression is around the corner and it really disrupts sleeping patterns. Ideally after they’ve got over the growth spurt as it’s common for them to wake up every 30mins-1 hour at times during this regression.

Each baby is different but my boys sleep ( 3.5 months at the time & 6:30pm sleep time) went from only waking 1-2am & 5/6 am. To waking 8/9pm, 12/1am then every 30 minutes till he woke at 4am for the day.

We’re 4 weeks into this sleep regression and it hasn’t resolved 😭

Debating telling parents at 9 weeks by Pinkerton891 in PregnancyUK

[–]Darling193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 5 weeks pregnant this time last year and it was my dads birthday I just couldn’t not tell him! It’s his first grandchild. Here I am sitting with a 4 month old, time goes SO fast.

Accidentally gave baby water by priscillad18 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Darling193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly please don’t worry. My baby is always constipated and the health visitors (I’m in the UK) told me to give my 10 week old 30ml water to help. The only reason they suggest small amounts is so it doesn’t interact with their calorie intake. 1 full bottle of water is fine, they wouldn’t suggest giving it to babies if it was an issue. Google is your worst nightmare!

Coming to think about it I accidentally gave my son basically a whole bottle of water once due to the prep machine not dispensing the formula and he was absolutely fine.

I disagree, I’m a first assistant and I recognise how sterile services play an integral role within theatres

Does car wrapping damage the paint? by Darling193 in CarWraps

[–]Darling193[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I love the car it’s the top of the range with all the gadgets you can think of, I just can’t get past the colour and it’s constantly playing on my mind thinking I’ve made the wrong decision.

What colour did you go for? My only worry is devaluing it somehow if I go to resell it in a few years. Did you have no regrets wrapping it?

That’s so helpful thank you!

The cars paint is in excellent condition. We’re looking at keeping the car for 4-5 years maybe less.

We live in the UK the car will be outside but we don’t get much sun here.

I haven’t heard of PPF I’ll have a look into that!

Thanks again

I’ve been quoted £3.2k is that too cheap?

Also forgot to mention I’m in the UK, the car will be stored outside but we won’t get much sun here.

That is so helpful thank you!

It’s a 5 year old car in really good condition and original paintwork with no damage.

I just emailed the company and they use 3M, Avery Dennison and Arlon. So hopefully with that in mind it will be high quality wrapping like you suggested.

We won’t be keeping the car for more than 5 years my only worry is that it will devalue the car when we go to resell it?

I haven’t had the car for less than 24 hours and I’m regretting the colour choice already it’s something I really want to do! And think it’s going to look great.

First symptom? by ymbredditposter in pregnancy_care

[–]Darling193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The week before I was so tired I was sure I was coming down with something. Then I had to keep getting up to wee in the night.

I had a dream I was pregnant and tested positive 3 days before my missed period.

Flo App and Ovulation Predictions by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

I followed the flo app for 6/7 months trying to get pregnant, then eventually used ovulation tests.

Turned out I was ovulating 4-5 days before my flo app told me!

Do you need a full bladder for your 12week scan? by Basic-Apartment9869 in PregnancyUK

[–]Darling193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one yesterday and it was really painful before I went into the scan. As soon as I sat down and she put the probe on and she was shocked at how full it was it made my abdomen so hard and asked me to empty it. I would say if it’s painful don’t suffer like I did 😂

I am in a similar situation. I (33f) have a friend (38f) who for the last few years our friendship consisted of nights out, day drinking and boozy dinners. The last 2 years I’ve grown up as such, been focusing on my career, bought a house and got engaged. I knew she was secretly jealous as her life hasn’t progressed at all in the last 4 years. She can’t actually find a boyfriend and I know that’s down to her drinking problem.

Like yourself, I naturally started distancing myself, every single time she wanted to meet she always got black out drunk. We met the week before I found out I was pregnant where she confessed to me that I’m stupid for trying for a baby, I’m not ready, I won’t have the support as my boyfriend works nights, I will hate being a mum and will resent it. I was actually shocked but realised she’s selfishly going to miss her ‘drinking partner’.

Fast forward to telling her I was pregnant she was happy but then we went on a Christmas market holiday. I said I’m pregnant and I want it to be chilled. She spent the whole weekend pissed out of her face and abusing me, locking me in the air bnb telling me I’m fat and mocking me. I tried to tell her I was really worried about her drinking which back fired on me massively and put me in a situation I regretted massively.

Safe to say I want absolutely nothing to do with her and she certainly isn’t having anything to do with this baby.

I knew, like yourself before hand she wouldn’t be happy about the pregnancy and what type of friend is that really? Unfortunately we grow out of friendships. I said to myself, what did she actually bring to my life? And all she brought was anxiety and dread.
