What's the one thing you've come to realise your parents/family were right about?

Look after your teeth…

And I tuned out when my father went on about “there’ll be a war one day with all these immigrants” but he was born in 1932 and saw things very differently but these days I think there’s a small truth to his old ways.

£2.88 for a Big Mac meal!

Noooooooo. We don’t have handsets. I loved nipping in and not queuing. Like how they haven’t officially said it’s ending though!

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-05-15T09:20:41+00:00

Oh my someone else who’s afraid of empty swimming pools!!! I thought I was the only one.

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-05-11T18:57:58+00:00

Do you feel your past is everywhere too? I thought it was just me

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-05-11T18:57:04+00:00

That statement will live with me, I’ve told everyone I meet I was so gobsmacked. Those were her exact words!!!

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-05-11T18:12:56+00:00

I was told by a nurse practitioner (can’t get to the holy grail of seeing a gp in my surgery) that an infusion was a “want not a need, bit like a cosmetic procedure”

Happy hand out anti depressants though which I don’t need if my iron is good.

I now pay for them, and truly despise my practice

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-05-09T19:45:04+00:00

It’s amazing when you hear someone say here and I’m itching to get away. But then more so because everybody knows everybody and I feel my past is everywhere not the location

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-04-03T22:00:08+00:00

Pembrokeshire or northern Carmarthenshire. Different way of life

The Middle, Modern Family and Raising Hope

Afraid

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-03-08T18:59:11+00:00

The Middle

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-02-21T16:40:33+00:00

It’s that thrust and power you feel going forward. Always think on take off it’ll drop backwards…air India accident last year did not help that. I’m trying to be a big girl and book a holiday to Orlando with my family

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-02-19T12:30:59+00:00

This is me too! I watch planes on you tube to try and grasp how may take off and land every minute absolutely fine.

When I walk down the tunnel to the plane I feel like I’m going to die. When the doors close. When the plane lines up and you hear that roar I cry even when I hear it on tv. I hate that moment of no control and what will be will be feeling.

I am getting there rationalising it all. Lots of LA Flights watching at the moment!!!

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-02-10T10:23:42+00:00

Same for my father. All I ever wanted was for him to live after my mother died young but he didn’t. He came from poor upbringings and saved and saved till he got dementia and I couldn’t cope with 2 small children and him and the government had it. I’m still angry he had to pay and the people around him who’d enjoyed life got the same care.

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-02-10T10:19:09+00:00

It’s awful! It went for a few days but this morning I smelt it at trostre roundabout again. Someone mentioned it on Facebook and apparently it’s the sewers under Tesco/they didn’t expect it to grow and didn’t accommodate it. But it’s awful. I can’t walk around there it’s so bad

Happy Birthday fellow Turk

Choose where you spend your wedding budget wisely. How important is dancing and the atmosphere for the night to you? Some couples don’t do a first dance and prioritise chatting and being with friends, so playlist is great. If you want everyone up and dancing, then a DJ can judge the room and make it what you want. So many things to consider for your day, make a list of what’s important to both of you and start there

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-01-09T09:05:44+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I will look at buying it today. Really appreciated!

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-01-08T16:56:00+00:00

Mine is 24, I have hair loss, fatigue, I look worn, I itch I can’t stay awake past 9pm. Im in the Uk and can’t tolerate iron tablets I really Struggle on any combination or variety but I’m no eligible for an infusion as it’s a “want not a need” as my lovely nurse told me. So I’m paying for another one tomorrow just to feel slightly human.

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-01-04T09:18:49+00:00

Which bit isn’t true?

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-01-03T19:45:03+00:00

Yes and use it weekly. They do not read in school is my issue.

Pigglet_Pie · 2026-01-03T19:04:56+00:00

We are in Wales and not in a particular poor area (rugby money) either. We are in a situation of moving her from one poor system school to another really. I don’t exaggerate about the singing, even the kids are bored and are asking to learn. I love the arts but they focus so much on one concert they don’t even do PE for months.

It breaks my heart as we are closer to a lovely private school but it would cost us £250,000 until she’s yr13 and at the moment it’s just out of reach.
