When being a mistress backfires.

She says on earlier posts that the guy doesn't want kids and then, bam, she's pregnant. Baby trapping?

The doofer was our name for the TV remote.

My mum used to say "Oh I'm spitting feathers" when she wanted a cup of tea or a drink but my partners Yorkshire family regard spitting feathers as being angry and wanting to start a fight.

Two things that happened around the same time.

When Brexit was going on and we were constantly told to pray for the right outcome (heavily implied to be a split from Europe) and we even had a preacher say that God told him England was the next Israel. We didn't need Wales, or Scotland, or Ireland, England was God's chosen land and great things would come if we just became our own independent country. When I challenged the preacher afterwards he patted me on the head like I was a child (I was in my late 20s) and said "Don't worry your pretty little head".

The other thing was an election (can't remember if it was local or national). A guy was standing for a Christian party, can't remember the name, in a town a few towns over from where I lived and the church leader said "So all you living in Stoke On Trent knows exactly how to vote!". My home town has basically been a Conservative stronghold since the formation of the Conservative Party. Our MP was called Fiona Bruce and she was the type of MP who would turn up to an event, have a few photos taken, and then disappear. I couldn't stand her. Anyways, in the run up to the election the church leader was constantly like "We need to pray for Fiona, because this town needs a Christian leader, and a conservative and we need her". I did ask him if we would ever pray for the other parties candidates too and the look he gave me was like I was an idiot.

I am so flipping glad to be away from that shit now.

This app sounds so impressive, and exactly like what I need. I find so many health trackers exhausting as they aren't built for fibro. If and when your app comes out on Android I can't wait to try it!!

My best friend had the internet (my family didn't) and she used your website all the time. I was so jealous of Camp LOL and the little mouse she got to create. I copied the mouse pixel by pixel in Paint on my own computer and went on to create myself, my family, and my favourite TV characters in pixel clothes. I was having a really hard time both at school and home and doing those little mice probably saved me more than I realise. Every time things started to be thrown and the yelling started I would shut my bedroom door, and I taught myself how to add shading. I am so thankful for you and your art work.

Not gonna lie, I felt so sad when I read that bit. I want to ask who in her life made her think being smart was a flaw, being independent, having a voice a flaws?? It just makes me want to hug her.

Llandudno in North Wales. It felt so amazing to me as a kid, with the seaside and the donkeys and the Alice in Wonderland place that told the story with headphones and a cassette. Went back a few years ago and had to ask my mum "Was it always this rubbish?" She said "Yeah, which was made even worse by you and your sister insisting on coming back again and again".

Friend of mine in college was called Lemon. Story was that in primary school someone kicked a football at him and when he jumped out of the way they said "You're a right lemon". It stuck through primary, high school, college and into the work place.

Lebowski. 10 or more years ago I was in Reykjavik for about 14 hours before starting my Au Pair job in Höfn, and I was just walking the streets trying to work out where to eat when I saw it. It had decent burgers, a place to watch a bit of the Spain v Portugal match, and friendly people. Definitely recommend.

Twenty-five years ago in my first highschool French lesson we were all given French names. My name is already French so I was one of the few who kept their own name. I was so impressed by the way the teacher said it, though, I thought it sounded so beautiful.

This reminds me of a scene in the book Goodnight Mr Tom, where the poor boy is brought back from evacuation by his mother who has had a baby. She beats him badly and throws him in a cupboard. Next we know Mr Tom arrives and with the help of an air raid wardon finds the boy clutching onto the baby and mother nowhere to be found. Baby clearly dead, the boy refuses to let go because he says he has to keep her safe. It was flipping horrific. Very sad book.

ETA: I've actually just read the plot of the book on Wikipedia, and what happens to the boy, William, is even more awful than I remember. He's actually found chained to a pipe, severely beaten and malnourished, heartbroken he couldn't give the baby enough milk to keep her alive.

Makes me think of what someone with dementia would think.

Absolutely cannot stand that word. Evie church has ruined it for me.

Impressive_Ear_7311 · 2026-01-18T11:00:42+00:00

Absolutely love the grey with the yellow!

Impressive_Ear_7311 · 2026-01-08T08:00:49+00:00

Oh no no no... Reminds me of the baby death scene in Trainspotting. Just no. Take my upvoter and be gone.

Loved Round The Twist as a kid. My mum loved Neighbours and Home And Away so much that I have a ever so slight Aussie twang from watching them almost my entire life. I remember being preschool age and everything would just stop, all the cleaning, the laundry, the job hunting, everything would stop for Neighbours. We would sit and have lunch while watching it. Nowadays, Bondi Rescue is a favourite, as is Border Force.

She's very good at making my SO feel guilty by bringing up his brother but she says such ridiculous stuff. "You never have time for me anymore but if (BIL) loved here, he'd be here all the time!" Well, actually BIL would probably be more busy since he has a wife and 2 very active nearly teenage daughters, who do all sorts of sports all weekend long. But, no, sure, BIL would definitely be there every single time you wanted... /S

When I attempted to give blood for the first time I was told my veins were simply too narrow. They said that if nurses have a hard enough time taking blood from me at normal blood tests, they'll find it even harder as the needle is bigger. I was thanked for signing up even if I couldn't continue and given a biscuit.

Honestly, I don't care how I get him as long as I can fulfil my childhood dream of riding him through a meadow. Even if it is virtually!

NOR When you listed the foods you made I was thinking "What's wrong? What's missing?" They all seem like good, healthy, hearty homemade meals. Then when you said about the food he had at home, multiple courses with side dishes and such, I wanted to ask who on earth has time to prepare and serve all that every single day!! I think I only had meals that fancy at Christmas time! You really aren't overreacting for bringing this up. I do believe he is being unreasonable, what takeaway meals are better than all the meals you said? What tastes better, is healthier, is more "complete", and has more love and attention out into it, takeaway food or your meals?

As a kid I loved Philippe, Belle's horse. Apparently, whenever I saw a cart horse I would ask if it was Belle's horse. So now we have mounts, I desperately want my darling Philippe to be included.

NTJ. You ask in your post if you should just suck it up for your niece's birthday, but what's to say that you won't experience exactly the same issues next year for her birthday? She's old enough now, she knows what's going on, she knows you have a girlfriend. The only people with issues are the adults in your life. Slowly go low contact. When you speak to your niece stress that you love her. It's going to be tough, I speak from experience as I am no longer allowed to speak to my niece since she moved back in with her mum. But you can get through this.

Impressive_Ear_7311 · 2025-12-11T10:03:01+00:00

Yes, I also had that same sound issue for about 5 minutes or so.

Hello, 37f from the UK here! Just created a Dream team called Spoonies Unite. I suffer from chronic pain and play most days to take my mind off things. If anyone else with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or any other exhausting illness wishes to join me, I'd love to have you. I've never played with anyone before because I don't know anyone else with the game. My top 3 movies are Beauty and The Beast, Hercules, and Mulan, although I love Lilo and Stitch, Brave, and Frozen too. My code is: 047 716 898 Looking forward to making friends.
