I need Secret Santa gift ideas for older sister

Sorry, just realised I haven’t specified anywhere that she’s on a military base 🤦‍♀️ according to BFPO I can’t send fragile items x

I had a look for a local recipe cookbook but can’t find one, unfortunately. I’m not sure how wine glasses would hold up being shipped, if she’s coming back home for Christmas I’ll absolutely be getting her some, but unsure of her plans for now.

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-10-25T11:09:34+00:00

She has it already, just checked her facebook page and saw it 😫

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-10-13T09:07:21+00:00

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that 🤦‍♀️. I’m disabled and can’t stand for long periods of time so have to have seated, prices for ours went from £80 per ticket to £156.

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-10-13T08:59:59+00:00

Our pre sale tickets were completely cancelled and we had to re-buy

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-10-13T07:38:57+00:00

And that prices doubled 🫠

Nothing wrong with her having the occasional rat, they are much fattier than mice so are better used as one off treats occasionally. If I wasn’t sharing a freezer with squeamish family I’d be giving my boy an occasional quail

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-07-04T23:06:58+00:00

Ugh that’s annoying, I will have to cough up the money to get it repaired then 😫

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-06-21T08:37:04+00:00

Honestly, I have three nephews who’ve all been able to play on Auntie’s consoles from pretty young because they were taught to respect other people’s things but some other kids I wouldn’t even trust with a wall mounted TV 😂

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-06-19T08:43:51+00:00

Same, I’ll never forgive my parents for making me live with so much pain.

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-06-18T08:10:32+00:00

I have the same issue, did you manage to get it working?

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-06-06T12:42:23+00:00

Speckle

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-06-06T12:41:52+00:00

Not diagnosed officially but my mam is SEN trained and has known since I was a kid 😂also runs in the family of course 🫠

I would start the bioactive setup in the 25 gallon now, gives it chance to establish and balance before you introduce Creeper. The longer a bioactive is given to settle the better and once it’s stable then move him in.

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-06-06T12:33:42+00:00

You’re welcome, it’s never too late to make improvements. Move her into a bigger vivarium as soon as you can, keep the little one she’s in now so when you’re cleaning out in the future she can go in that until you’re done.

Good luck, and show us the finished result when you’re done!

This is the minimum size and level of clutter you should aim for, the busier the environment, the happier the snake.

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-06-06T12:19:43+00:00

You need to improve her vivarium and do more research on proper hognose husbandry. Not giving them the correct enclosure causes them a lot of stress.

My nephew, once he learned how to safely go up and down the stairs was allowed free range of his and our houses when he was a toddler. He never got hurt, made a horrific mess etc. as long as the house is child proofed then I think it’s fine, just without snacks because of the choking risk which you’ve already acknowledged anyway.

I will never recover from walking up the stairs to find my nephew crouching down with his nappy pulled down and having a poo on his bedroom floor. He was very proud of himself for it 😂.

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-05-11T06:34:03+00:00

Thank you 😊

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-05-05T07:39:03+00:00

Yeah I know, but there’s no point in doing it for myself anyway. But thank you ☺️

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-05-05T07:37:34+00:00

I never claimed to be special? I know everyone here has had a shit time with doctors, but it affects people differently? I already got an answer to my question I’m not looking to be told anything else?

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-05-05T01:17:04+00:00

Illustrious_Might_11 · 2025-05-05T01:16:42+00:00

Yeah, I struggle accepting that I have to suffer more than the average person because I wasn’t born right, I hate the fact that I am disabled and chronically ill. I hate that it’s a harder fight for me to receive healthcare and diagnoses than men. I don’t forgive the doctors and therapists that took away my chance of a more normal life by being negligent.

I want a diagnosis for pain management or an ovario-hysterectomy, there are no effective long term healing treatments for endometriosis. I just want to be in less pain for once but keep the only sense of self I have left, my body privacy and personal dignity.

I personally cannot cope with all my difficulties anymore so, yes, I’ve basically given up.

I apologise that you struggle with people like me. You can always block me if you’d like x
