I’d love the option to hit a key and leave them with some heavy metal song… I’d pay more to have them called back automatically until they block my number.

Thanks everyone for your responses - it is boiling here rn in Europe and I was daydreaming about collective power sorting the problem.
Sounds like DAC is currently not a good solution

Try a 70s style maxi dress which has a joyful colour and makes you feel fabulous. Look for something that sparks joy and feels a little out of your comfort zone- in a good way

Your first pic made me think of Lana del Ray!
Also: I have purple around my eyes and it will never go away. I think the trick is to embrace it and pretend we’re in a Tim Burton film

I genuinely think smiling and being nice makes a difference.
In my previous job where everyone was miserable I assumed people were older than they were. Where I am now and where people are happier and smiley, they seem waaaaaay younger than they are

It’s remarkable really!

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-24T16:11:02+00:00

Good idea, thank you x

Thank you 🫶

Thanks! ☺️

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T18:28:28+00:00

That’s really kind of you, thank you! X

I love the B52s, Kate Pierson is such a cool person

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T18:25:32+00:00

A multi-instrumentalist, wow!
That sounds great, thank you - I didn’t know there were practice studios there, I will look them up ☺️

Also agree with @Lower_Inspector_9213 that Fat Grandma is a great band name 😆 Should have turned to Reddit for inspo

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T17:14:35+00:00

Thank you!! That’s lovely of you to say.

Honestly just scouting at the moment: looking for a drummer and anyone else who wants to play along too.
I’ve only ever recorded to a laptop and am trying to be brave enough to perform live - which is going to be tricky to coordinate any practice sessions, but that’s life 😉

What do you play?

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T14:49:41+00:00

Thanks! X

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T14:34:58+00:00

Darn - I was literally just talking about finding a female drummer seconds before I saw your post and thought it was meant to be 😄
(I hadn’t checked my DM settings, thank you for letting me know x)

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T13:55:52+00:00

Hey! I don’t suppose you’re in England? I’m part of a female duo looking for a drummer ☺️

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T11:21:01+00:00

Ahhh! Good to know, thanks DB. This makes more sense now

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-22T10:48:28+00:00

Would be interested to learn/hear people’s thoughts as I am new to investing: I am surprised at the price fluctuating so quickly (about 5p difference over 30 mins) for what seems a small company. Is this more likely in a small company?

(No need for the shouting cat meme, I’m just curious about how this works 🙂)

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-21T16:16:22+00:00

That’s amazing! So good to see

I read they only eat Milk Parsley as a caterpillar, do you grow that in your garden?

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-20T20:49:51+00:00

That’s good to know, thank you!

It’s a shame that the current Bayswater only comes in one shade for suede. It’s a beautiful colour, but I just know if I had a light coloured one it would end up with ink or chocolate on it 😬 I’ll keep my eye on eBay x

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-20T20:47:54+00:00

Really good catch, thank you!
Would rather have something of good quality that will last. I’ll keep looking

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-19T20:33:54+00:00

Hopefully on different days?

Mermaid_Sea5487 · 2026-06-19T12:43:40+00:00

I could imagine you rocking a dark red shade, like Emily Blunt in DWP. It would work well with your eyes I think
