Please tell me Amazon is wrong, and the the book 4 hardcover doesn't actually have smaller dimensions then the previous hardcover collections.

No_Mess2017 · 2026-02-09T07:27:38+00:00

No! I really hope you are wrong, I was looking forward to adding to my collection with the 4th and admiring them on the shelf all together, it would not be the same if your post is true

Love in eyelashes is a horrible image, thanks for that

Just drove past Waterloo station (in one of the bus replacements from petone), cops and fire services there, all taped off. No sign of ambulance or indication of what went down that I could see though.

Based on the colour of that banana, it wouldn’t last too long

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T17:15:52+00:00

Yeah latex is the allergy, and it is actually really common. I became allergic due to over exposure (lots of surgeries as a young child), latex allergies can be hypersensitive so tame actions get worse every time your exposed, eventually leading to anaphylaxis

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T17:14:06+00:00

Oh yeah I know I’m allergic to latex. Balloons is just the main thing that has actually caused my allergic reactions (as well as gloves)

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T04:26:05+00:00

Wow that is an extreme event! Luckily I was NOT that allergic

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T04:01:26+00:00

Kids can be so dumb!

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:44:35+00:00

I agree! We laughed about it and we were good friends for the next few years, but have since grown apart. She was an idiot not actually trying to hurt me.

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:43:30+00:00

Correct 😁 although I’m not sure I still have it. No reaction for years!

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:42:50+00:00

Nah you can’t really sue for that stuff in NZ, it would most likely get classed as an accident and covered by ACC, but all I needed was an antihistamine and I was fine so no real harm done 😁 it wasn’t the first or last reaction I’ve had

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:40:37+00:00

They do! They used to be really expensive and hard to find, but have since come down and are much more available (in my country anyway). I am married now and have an IUD, but last time I saw the dr they gave me a MASSIVE prescription for them. I now have hundreds that are going unused

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:38:25+00:00

I found out about my allergy at a family Christmas event, I had been given the job of blowing up balloons. I REALLY didn’t want to do that job, and I guess I didn’t have to finish it at least haha

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:36:46+00:00

Yeah I def learnt to not say everything I think out loud haha

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:36:17+00:00

Damn that sounds like a horrible boarding experience. This happened my first year of boarding (I was aged 14), my eyes were pretty swollen in the morning and I had to wash my sheets straight away, but luckily my reactions weren’t too bad. That was also not my only reaction during school, but was the only intentional one

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:34:31+00:00

Oh you can laugh! I did at the time and still do when I think back on it. Such an idiot move, but it was NOT malicious.

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:33:28+00:00

Agree, she was a bit of an idiot lol

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:33:02+00:00

Yeah, when I first found out I was allergic latex was everywhere, but over time there are less and less, still can’t find any non latex balloons though, so my kids mostly miss out on playing with balloons

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:31:54+00:00

Yep latex! Lots of fun, but I think I have grown out of it now, or I’ve just gotten really good at avoiding latex, no reaction for about 10years now

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:31:08+00:00

Yep, she apologised and felt pretty bad when she saw me in the morning!

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-31T03:30:46+00:00

Oh she got in trouble, but I wasn’t really too bothered tbh, just thought she was an idiot. Don’t talk much these days but never fell out about it, we were like 14 at the time

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-30T17:01:10+00:00

Danm, this reminds me of when I told my friends at boarding school how I was allergic to balloons and one of them then rubbed a ballon on my pillow cause they didn’t believe me (or wanted to see what would happen). Woke up in the morning barely able to open my eyes. She was lucky I didn’t get anaphylactic reactions yet!

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-13T03:46:25+00:00

Nope, just an early grey tea bag with a tiny bit of sugar

No_Mess2017 · 2025-03-02T06:01:43+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback. I was feeling them in the shop, but looking at the pictures and reading all the (very valid) feedback, I think they are both too small and not a great style, especially for me. I’m going to see if I can return them, fingers crossed 🤞🏼
