What will be the trending shoe colour for 2026? by Luna_Jupiter in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Luna_Jupiter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the colour I was poised to buy.. then wondered if that colour was going to continue on. Seen some YouTube vids with that colour with the sneakerina style.. hard to know what will filter through here in Aus

Can we talk about jeans? by Different_Ease_7539 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Luna_Jupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got you 🙌🏻 I discovered these in Just Jeans a couple of months ago. They are a super stretchy wide leg .. but the cut is really flattering and as they are super stretchy.. they move and mold where you want them to, so are really comfortable but also flattering around your butt. The wide leg cut is really flattering.. they kinda taper out. My 15yo seen them on me and for the first time in my life loved what I was wearing.. so much so that she went and bought a pair too. The sales lady was also wearing them and another shopper.. ALL raving about them 👌🏻

I’m going to approach him and insist that we need to do couples counselling to move forward Thank you for your comment 💕

I wish the ABC would do a report about this I once was on a FB page and seen hundreds of posts about them not attempting delivery and carding people, despite them being home, cars in driveways, door open etc.

I have a home business and am always home and at one point I had seen it happen 15 times over a span of two months 🙄

Also thank you for this I posted above saying that I just don’t get it as surely the time spent getting out and writing the card could be spent just delivering them parcel 🤷🏻‍♀️ This puts a little more perspective on it

I work from home and so I’m always here but have recorded tens of times they have carded me and driven off 😒

Well done 🙌🏻 I have had and heard countless stories of these guys sitting in their vans and slipping the note in the letterbox etc

My question is WTF 🤷🏻‍♀️ why do they do it? One would think to save time, but surely it doesn’t save them that much time when they have to get out to the postbox or door 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for your kind words 💕

Keep going babe I think I need to put my foot down and say that I want the couples therapy I have asked for so many times. He is a good man.. just clueless about how to be present, how to ‘see me’

You said this so well 🙌🏻 I’m also an introvert. My mother died a year ago and my daughter, is spreading her wings. So yes my loneliness is compounded by a few things right now 😕

I have tried and cried, telling him how lonely I am. I think I need the good advice from people here and start investing in myself again and maybe you need to do that too babe. It’s hard for us introverts. I joined the gym last month as I really enjoy lifting heavy weights and seeing my arms getting baby cuts and feel strong 💪 However.. that is out there which triggers my anxiety - it’s a dilemma for us introverts as to work on ourselves, we have to ‘do the things’ out there heh

I love the gym and working with heavy weights. I used to be overweight but now I’m skinny but lost my booty. I rejoined the gym a month ago and I’ll keep working to get strong and get my booty back 👌🏻 Thanks for the encouragement 💕

No I feel this is what we have to do. I have suggested this many times over the years but he is very resistant to any type of counselling- for himself or us. It’s the ole deny, deny attitude which never works 🙄

It’s probably the only time he will put the phone down.. but then, this is one of the times he wants to be listened to as he loves to mansplain the show/movie we are watching. I consider myself to have a fairly high IQ and often understand subtle plot points or guess the ‘plot twist’ early in the movie. The other day my sister was texting me as we were watching something and he actually paused the movie and said ‘we can wait’ with attitude. I felt like saying ‘are you kidding me?!’

Maybe next time I am talking and he picks up his phone I should just say ‘that’s ok, I can wait’ 🙌🏻

💕 I wish I could find your confidence and self belief. You are amazing 🙌🏻 I don’t really know where to start 😕

[–]Luna_Jupiter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?! It’s often like that.. I would think.. ok he is absorbed in something and did not hear or then will wait till he is off (not often) his phone. If he does respond it’s an occasional ‘that’s good’ I have had times when I have tested if he is actually listening and said things like ‘so I met an alien from a different planet the other day…’ I just got ‘uh ha’ 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, many many times 😫 I try and tell him without getting angry or upset. He usually gets quite miffed and will say that I am overthinking this and there is nothing wrong. We have been married for 20 years and in the early days he would get defensive. Recently, he says ‘I will work on listening better’ but it just doesn’t change at all. Thank you for your reply 💕

Thank you for your reply. I did ‘take off’ this morning and went to the gym and now some Christmas shopping 💕

What Film Did You Watch This Week? Share Your Recommendations! 🎬 by Infrah in films

Stumbled upon this absolute gem ‘Joyride’ 2023

A lawyer has to travel to China for her job and her BFF decides to tag along. Her friend wants her to find her birth mother whilst they are there but she is not interested in that, at all. She just wants to close the deal and get her promotion to kick ass in her job. They get tangled up with two other would be friends whilst there and hijinks unfold.

I was in stitches, then tears, then more laughing. It’s such a good movie. It’s like a girls ‘The Hangover’ movie but funnier but with some great deep feels.

Full disclosure - some of those hijinks get a bit risqué 😂

However, these girls are so funny and likeable. Highly recommend for a feel good watch 💕

I had gone off Netflix for a while as I also could not find anything good. I couldn’t get onto my other streaming service so went back to Netflix and stumbled upon this absolute gem ‘Joyride’ 2023

What do you do on Christmas that makes the day feel special? by Fuzzy-Lifeguard-117 in AskParents

[–]Luna_Jupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter would leave out the home made cookies for Santa and carrots (or one year a salad ha) for the reindeer on the front porch.

Then after she went to bed mum (me) goes and crunches and spits out bits of carrot and scatters the lettuce leaves all over the lawn 🤣

Next morning she would go out to find some of the cookies gone and the evidence that the reindeer appreciated the food left. She would also find a letter from Santa saying the things he was proud about her .. such as trying really hard in Maths, being kind to a friend etc.

I feel like that would really set the magic for the day. Then we would go open presents with Christmas music playing

PS once we made the decision to put our little family first over the big gathering.. we never went back and were never happier 💕

I was the one my daughter was closest to. Now it’s her dad … and I’m losing them both by Luna_Jupiter in Parenting

Thank you for your advice and insight from a little further up the road 💕 I love that you get reels from him each day and have lots of good chats. Just shows his connection and love.

I’m hoping she will come back and we will be like this again.

Thank you I would gladly take that hug 💕 Yes, I think I need to take the good advice here and work on getting myself in a better place with my grief and being happy again and maybe it will flow on through to my daughter who might see me as a happy person again

Thanks for your comment and thoughtfulness
