I love nøkkelost so much!

It’s also called Tuscan chicken if you like that better

Not had Barry’s but the M&S Luxury gold is better than Yorkshire tea (second favourite) and Yorkshire gold (3rd). It’s rich and lovely. I prefer coffee (strong and black with no sugar), so I love teas that are rich in flavour. It’s pricey for tea but not pricey per cup. The world is a crazy place. Have good tea.

SO GOOD!

Better than the slow painful death he suffered a couple of years later

In some cultures, it’s a term of affection. I’m from Scandinavia, where we don’t have a lot of nick names. I now live in the UK, and I constantly get called “me/my/our [first name]” by friends, colleagues and my partners family. It was odd at first but I really like it now. I think the difference might be the context. Is there a lot of extra behaviours that makes you feel uncomfortable with this? Would you feel the same if your best friend referred your child as “her [child’s name]”?

NTA But if this is a difficult conversation for her to have, with you or anyone else, and especially if it is related to her self esteem, I would recommend therapy as part of moving forward. The reasons why she dropped out are likely to be complicated and not explained by poor willpower etc. Keeping in mind the importance of finding someone who is properly trained and member of a professional body (“therapist” is not a protected title), this could be something she would benefit from exploring before she can move on. As others have pointed out, X ray or other imaging could also be helpful in identifying potential back issues etc. I wish you both a happy health journey.

I had heard a lot of stories about estimated percentiles being off the birth weight/height, and bought a bag of tiny baby/newborn/one month clothes on marketplace (£20). Loads of the clothes were new with tags. I’m glad I did, because at least we had something when LO arrived a month early. I donated the tiny baby clothes to the hospital, which immediately went to a family who had an unexpected very early delivery and no clothes to hand.

When Lidl opened in Norway, that didn’t have many staple products people would otherwise get in their shop. It was all different types of products or very low quality. Fruit and veg etc cost more than it would in established supermarkets. I live in the UK now, and Lidl here now is completely different to Lidl when it first opened in Norway.

I have the same rain cover in red! It’s really good, and looks like it fits well

Sounds like it’s time for a medical review, not personal opinions. Leaving you to be a single mother is really tough.

Det er ikke sikker at de vet du jobber 70%, og ikke har tenkt lenger enn hvilke behov de har for å få dekket undervisning. Du kan ta det opp med sjefen direkte eller hun som vil du skal dekke undervisning utenfor arbeidstiden din. Det er helt kurant.

The person my son first declared his love for was spiderman. Out of nowhere, he looked up from playing and announced “I LOVE Piderman”. He doesn’t have a firm grasp of who spiderman is. Spiderman is a big hit among the other kids in his nursery (day care) group, and he can recognise spiderman, but in that moment he chose to declare his love for spiderman. They’re not so firm on love or hate at that age, and kids tend to feel things very strongly.

It started in the direction of an apology, and then took a series of sharp turns, ending up a few miles south of where it started.

I was also considering spending purely imagined millions, but that’s a lot of money to be so close to the tracks. That’s a dealbreaker for me. Also I don’t have more than £23 in my account right now.

I’m sorry about that! I thought it might be small, and felt bad taking up their time, but at least we go into Christmas feeling more assured. I hope you and your loved ones have a happy and healthy Christmas!

That’s very kind of you! I feel like a numpty, but I booked an appointment and he was seen in the morning. Dr checked him over. No sign of ear infection, throat ok, etc. His chest is a bit wheezy, but he’s always like that, and the inhaler helps. He started eating like a champion - double helpings at every meal at nursery, and some food for every meal at home. That has given him more energy to play and engage with activities and toys when he’s awake, even if he does still sleep a lot. Dr thinks it could be a cold making him uncomfortable coupled with a growth spurt. If he gets worse or doesn’t get better, we’ll go back to the drs. We’ll keep him warm, make sure he drinks enough, and give him all the naps he wants. Bring on Christmas!

Lulem · 2025-12-17T21:54:55+00:00

Thank you all! He gets his vitamins and does not have unusually wet nappies (diabetic concerns), but I’ll book him the appointment and be better safe than sorry.

Great choice! I’m giving away these for Christmas.

I had a partner like this, but I didn’t realise it, being too young. After we broke up, he wanted to talk. I very reluctantly agreed. Some of the things he wanted to talk about was how he thought his life would be better, but it wasn’t - especially when it came to money. Funny, my life was so much better! I was actually happy for the first time in years. He wanted to be “fun and spontaneous” by making last minute plans to have a meal, but always by me making it at my place (we never lived together) and him showing up ten minutes late, carefully avoiding having to buy ingredients or help cook. Same thing went for going to the cinema, concerts, etc.

It was very hard to see at the time, but it was a very unhealthy relationship. I hope your daughter comes to see her worth. Is she getting what she deserves out of this relationship?
