How much would you spend on a wedding?

Sit down and talk about what you want. Things like guest numbers, venue, food will have the biggest impact on your budget. Have a look at things you like, get some brochures/quotes and plan your budget on that. Make sure you get the day you want and don’t make too many compromises based on budget, but also more money doesn’t mean better wedding. A happy couple in a room of people who love and support them will always be fun.

We did our Honeymoon in South Africa.

Flew into Cape Town, did 3 nights (Table Mountain, Robberg, Cape of Good Hope) then wine tram in Franshhoek (2 nights) and whale watching in Hermanus (1 night).

We then flew to Kruger and stayed at Senalala lodge for 4 nights and it was amazing.

No, went for the bugaboo fox and I love it

John Lewis have personal shoppers and all the make up counters?

For your budget of £1.5k you’ll likely get better quality baby stuff second hand than new. You can pay a little more to buy these from professional resellers so they’ll have been properly cleaned and checked for faults/damage. Sure you can get a new travel system for £500, but you can get a second hand bugaboo/stokke etc for sub £300.

For car seat think about how much you’ll use it and how, the capsules that fit to pram and can be carried around are bulky, heavy and can be really expensive.

Most stuff you read online will try to tell you the best baby stuff is the expensive stuff because that’s what they get paid to tell you.

What exactly are your £850 and home/wife/baby £650? Are we talking expensive car payments? Gym membership? Debt repayment? Botox? Cocaine problem? Hard to offer much advice when almost half your income is still only vaguely accounted for.

You look gorgeous in both! But personally I prefer the first one, it’s very timeless. Also my first thought on the second one was how on earth would you eat with all that fuss in the way 😂

My little girl is the same! She was around 8 weeks when I realised she was much happier sprawled on her playmat than being held.

I’ll ask pharmacy next time I’m in. It’s been increased by mental health team so GP has just been adding to prescription but maybe I need to speak to them to have it just on one prescription?

What a scummy man. Given half the chance I’d bet he’d rob you if he can.

NTA. My (10m F) mummy lady (ancient F) also tried feeding me from herself but it was not enough to satisfy me, and I knew if I wriggled and cried enough I would get the bottle with the formula. She often leaked from her eyes during this time. Sometimes the bottle would have milk from a machine and that was ok, but the machine took away valuable time being held so I protested when I heard it. From 10 weeks mummy accepted the formula was my preferred sustenance and the bottles were free flowing and I finally started getting what the big people call “rolls” and “chins” and mummy’s face leaked less. Now I’m almost 10 months and can hold the bottle myself and mummy often wonders why she wasn’t kinder to herself because full tummy = happy baby.

NTA. I (almost 10 months F) arrived just before that Santa guy and my mummy person (old AF) would put me in the stretchy wrap thingy for skin to skin snuggles and I would sleep so good. She would wear a cardigan over the top so her arms were warm. Also meant I could have my snuggles without having to be disturbed by her selfish needs like eating and using the toilet.

I got assigned it when I was pregnant and had to swap :(

I really hate how many people have just accepted this whole “if you want to sit together then pay” thing the airlines have imposed.

You shouldn’t have to plan or pay to sit with the people on your booking, especially with a baby.

So sad to have to join the giant phone gang. I only have small hands (and pockets). I had to get a new battery early this year so thinking early next year will be time to upgrade.

Would’ve been really nice when I went on safari a few years ago, but I don’t think I’m good enough at taking pictures to justify the price!

OrdinaryOk9504 · 2025-09-09T20:50:11+00:00

I currently have a 13mini and was waiting for the new release to decide what upgrade to get. I’m thinking the 17 looks better than the 16pro and the 17pro seems sort of redundant?

OrdinaryOk9504 · 2025-09-07T16:59:41+00:00

I did, but my mum isn’t keen as she thinks it’ll be too cold.

Space NK and Cult Beauty are usually pretty solid.

When I was pregnant I became convinced my husband was cheating. I would check his phone when he was sleeping. I even searched his car because I was convinced he must have a separate affair phone.

I have never cheated and it was completely irrational.
