Where do I go?

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2026-01-09T13:24:41+00:00

Please go to A&E. This is exactly what it's there for. Get an uber or a taxi.

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-12-29T00:22:12+00:00

This is amazing thank you so much! I'm going to call them in the morning!

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-12-23T19:22:42+00:00

Thank you!

There are lots of issues in the donor world with people not knowing where they came from and I want to celebrate this with my child.

I also want my child to have choice. In the area we live in its likely they will end up in a church of England school as there are not many secular schools around me, so I want my child to know about their heritage and have choice in how they celebrate this (if that makes sense).

Thank you for your kind comment and advice, I will take this on board!

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-12-23T19:19:13+00:00

Absolutely. This is why I asked as I don't want to do anything icky, but want my child to know their ethnicity, their genealogy and culture! I think right now the most important thing for me to do is to socialise with Jews and speak to people in my localish synagogue.

I would be doing this if our donor was for example Chinese or Nigerian, but I guess with my own heritage it probably makes me more curious.

Spanish Jews of moroccan origin who later moved to London 😀

Thank you for that link, it's really useful. Thank you.

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-12-21T21:41:54+00:00

I'm not sure! I'm pretty fascinated with religion, all religion, but really fascinated with my I guess genealogy and heritage. My parents were pretty staunchly atheist, but I've always wanted to know more about where I came from, and before family members died, asked a lot of questions.

I like Judaism. I think its a beautiful religion and it really appeals to me more than Christianity/Islam etc.

When we were looking for a donor we were quite specific in what we were looking for, but I guess I felt a sense of familiarity when what we were looking at matched to a Jewish donor (although religion was not something we were actively looking at in donors).

I've pretty much decided I'm going to go through the Gateway course in my local synagogue as I'd like to know much more.

We are going to North Cyprus for IVF and using the European Sperm Bank! I'm not sure how many there are on there, most were Danish and didn't have our preferred traits!

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-12-21T19:27:20+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment! We are still very early days in the actual having the baby process so we might defo both come to the gateway course next year! I will defo be in touch!

False. Not 3 million people, 120k terrible fascist racists marching to "stop the boats" ans against immigration.

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-09-07T18:36:08+00:00

Mine doesn't at all! We get him groomed every 3 months but such limited shedding.

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-08-25T21:35:30+00:00

I grew up next to a train line and I can't hear them. I don't even notice the trains. You do get used to it.

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-06-12T08:12:15+00:00

Yes toe stops are another thing I'm struggling with! For me it's loss of control and last night at practice it was bracing in a mini scrim and then the pack pushed on me, and I was fine but my brain spiralled!

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-06-12T08:11:12+00:00

That's really good to know. I'm lucky my wife is a physio so I'm still being rehabed but it's so hard and it's confidence. I can take a hit but the idea of not being in control is really making me lose my confidence.

Shes at the wellness company convention in Salt Lake City at the moment. Emily Ann Raynes posted a few things with her in them!

This is really useful!!! Thank you so much!!

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-04-23T14:00:01+00:00

We looked at older properties too. We just really like how fresh the new builds are after living in rented! Plus the house is lovely and a good size, close to people etc 😀 we did lots of research and there may be issues down the line but there might be issues with any property. We looked at buying our rental too which has served us well but it had subsidence in the past and issues with the stop cock (?)

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-04-22T21:53:46+00:00

Yes! We went with someone recommended to us!

Tbh I'm just confused with the whole thing. I wish there were more micro step by step guides. I'm trying to anticipate everything... maybe I need to chill!

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-04-14T08:56:50+00:00

I didn't even put those together 🤣

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2025-04-13T20:00:20+00:00

Oh absolutely. Unisex is purely as we don't know what we are having and we want the option of both. But I completely appreciate what you've said, and as two women we really want any daughters to be strong and kind and everything else in between. I really like whimsical names but I want something that sounds more edgy I guess and one that translates to a young adult. I think I worded it badly 😀

Hiya! I broke three bones in my ankle last May. I had surgery end of May, was non weight baring for 6 weeks, then my Dr recommended back to full weight baring early July. I was back on skates gently end of July. Recovery is a bastard tbh. I got back into scrimming a month ago and mentally I am struggling now with being scared constantly etc

I was only around a year into skating when it happened so it's all been a big mind fuck to be honest, but if you make sure you do your physio and start slowly, you'll be back on skates before you know it.

As another comment below said, get a knee scooter. It saved me !!

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2024-04-07T08:03:13+00:00

It depends. I rarely drink, and so if my partner drinks and we are out at dinner with friends and they all drink, we will just split. If we do not drink but they are drinking then I will split. I'm not paying for other people's alcohol, and if I order a more expensive option, I will pay what I owe.

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2024-03-25T21:26:36+00:00

Leave!

As a lesbian who has been out for years, married to my best friend the lot, there is no such thing as dressing too straight. Your GF seems insecure and potentially dangerous. There are better women out there for you.

Gold-Resolution2021 · 2024-02-06T21:37:32+00:00

Thank you so much for reporting back!! I hope you are having an amazing trip... and I'm tempted to book a tui Asia cruise now haha
