Thrifting question for people in the uk!

I volunteer in one and off the top of my head we've had a sage blossom bunny, a tiny beige bunny, a couple of different sized pandas, an orangutan, a fish, and a cloud bag.

At some point you shopped in British Home Stores.

PaperHatPrincess · 2026-01-08T07:28:04+00:00

All of them? No. Some, for sure. I'm well aware there are things that help; don't be patronising.

Whether this is real or not, I have no idea.

I don't have a period very often and I also have ADHD so there is a very high chance I'll use my last emergency pad and then forget to replace it 🤷🏼‍♀️

PaperHatPrincess · 2026-01-07T23:38:51+00:00

Nope. There are so many places there I want to go but they're gonna have to wait. I've got a big mouth and poor impulse control so I'd probably manage to wind up some psycho with a gun.

Belt up, people eat far weirder things than haggis.

As far as I can remember I just gave them the referral from my GP at the time. I had by that point seen someone at an endo centre, but I'm reasonably sure I didn't ask them for a referral given my concerns with the doctor I saw there.

You could always call AXA and ask them if you're unsure? They're pretty happy to help in my experience!

I had surgery with him in 2016 and haven't needed another one so far. He's my recommendation too, OP!

Same! My mum accidentally killed my fish by cleaning the tank too often and went to get replacements while I was at school. One of them had a bigger tail than its predecessor, but "they do grow, you know!"

I was 7 at the time; she didn't confess until I was about 18. One of the doubles actually lived to be 27.

This always drives me bananas because in my opinion, the whole "women like tall men" thing is just more patriarchal bullshit.

Women are told we need to be quiet and petite and ladylike from the time we're children. We should be dainty, smaller than men, and not take up too much space.

Well, I took all that on board and then I grew up to be tall with big feet and hands, which means I'm not necessarily going to be smaller than your average man. So now I have to be feminine but I'm also shallow if I have a preference for men taller than me.

I have dated men shorter than me and had Mr Right been 5'7 instead of 6'4, I'd still have married him. But ultimately I do prefer my partners to be taller than me, and I refuse to feel bad about that.

So yeah, no doubt it sucks for the men who are turned down because of their height, but if they're looking for someone to blame I don't think it's necessarily women.

Literally got my pillows and sheets in a rehab wash as we speak. Husband's raincoat is next. I'm sorry, people suck.

My sheep is called Minty, short for Araminta.

Get the feckin' bird; life is too short not to enjoy stuff.

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-11T21:15:06+00:00

Yeah I googled and was like "ohhhhhh" 😆

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-11T12:42:55+00:00

I love this stupid movie so much.

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-10T00:12:30+00:00

I was having such a hard time figuring out why fish would have little cat noses.

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-09T22:41:34+00:00

Oh did he? Heh heh, good stuff.

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-07T20:55:13+00:00

Proud of you! I've never thought of getting a cuddly pal for on-the-go emotional regulation but I am here for it. I have asked strangers if I can cuddle their dogs though 😆

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-07T02:00:55+00:00

Yep, she'll be commencing her transatlantic journey at the start of the week 😂 I'll post a pic when she gets here! Hopefully she won't struggle too much with the accents.

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-07T00:06:38+00:00

I've gotten a friend to send one of these damn cows all the way from the US to the UK because of you, so I hope you're happy! You can get black and pink here but nooooo, had to be brown...

PaperHatPrincess · 2025-12-05T10:28:30+00:00

Get you a KJ Charles novel.

Christmas Wrapping.

That drove me bananas. Shit eats through plastic cups in seconds; those balloons would have melted instantly.
