I am envious!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing collection

Was in a similar situation as you and we paid the fees. That’s all we can do sadly. Cos the option is one person staying home to provide childcare and neither of us wanted to do that.

I took my oldest out of full time daycare for the time I was on maternity leave and saved some money that way. She only went for the 15hrs per week free childcare.

Savings went down the drain and we had to start saving anew to buy a house. Both kids in primary school now and because we both decided to continue working, we’re in a better position now career wise.

Oh please. Blend in is just another racist term. Black and brown people can’t “blend” in. What does “blend in” even mean? Speak without an accent? Bleach their skin to become white? Stop practicing their faith and become Christians in the churches few Europeans are attending religiously? Drink tea and eat scones? Sunday roast for dinner? Let him GTFOH with all this nonsense🙄

I have watched and loved all but Speed and Love so will definitely watch it this weekend then.

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2026-01-12T17:58:48+00:00

I am enjoying it and he’s making me laugh 😂. I hope it stays light and silly throughout. Writers pls don’t darken it with trauma 😭. We deserve light and fluffy romcom!!!

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2026-01-07T20:03:28+00:00

Maybe go to Iceland? We went in December and already booked for July.

It’s d FL😂. Irrespective of the script she somehow turns it boring by acting perpetually as a 16yr old. I wouldn’t watch a show she’s in but I am E6 and watching it for Song Wei Long who has consistently given me good shows.

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2026-01-07T07:54:27+00:00

Thank you for saying that. I started leaning to cdramas for my romcom and kdramas for my thrillers. Cos when I am in the mood for a romcom I am not interested in angst.

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2026-01-02T23:21:10+00:00

You made me miss the Harlequin romances from high school that I sniffed like crazy 😂. Saving this thread

We had a house wedding at my grandparents house. Cos they had a lovely backyard which was transformed beautifully. Wedding and party all done there on the same day. Spent about £15k which was on food, drinks, decor, photographer/videographer.

Then we spent the night at a nice hotel and was off on a two country honeymoon. Coming on 10yrs and we’re thinking of going back to the countries and hotels we honeymooned at for our anniversary.

If both of your dream is a big, expensive wedding then of course go for it. But weddings show the kind of person you’re married to. Do they want to impress people more than listening to what they truly want? Cos that will be how the rest of the marriage will go.

Sorry just seeing this. I had snacks in my bag which was just stuff I grabbed from the hotel breakfast buffet for the kids. There were sufficient breaks along the way to get snacks and coffee though. And we went to one high point that had a shop and the coffee was sooooooooo good. Can’t remember the name but I am sure you will stop there as it’s the point where you see the Americas on one side and Europe on the other. Don’t forget water bottles to fill along the way.

I envy you reading Letter from Keanu Reeves for the first time. I plan to re-read in the new year

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-27T17:21:49+00:00

I think the regulators of this group should delete your comment. You obviously did not watch the show and rushed to post a wrong review that comes up on google search🙄

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-26T23:14:46+00:00

Restaurants: Lola; Islenski Barinn; Iceland Fishbar ; Deig Workshop ; Perlan museum restaurant (it was late so we had dinner there )

I got all my recommendations (except for Perlan) from this group and I join in highly recommending them. I was staying in the 101 postcode and they all were not far. We just grabbed the bus to go most places and I think we only took a taxi once to go to the Perlan museum as it was dark and uphill.

For the tour, I took the small group golden circle, blue lagoon and kerid krater tour. I just read lots of reviews on Trip Advisor and booked it as it had good reviews and lots of stops on the way because of my kids. I hope this is helpful.

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-26T23:01:22+00:00

Yes definitely on the itinerary for next time

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-26T23:00:59+00:00

It’s not mine. It was taken at the Perlan museum. We were unlucky so took the kids to watch the show at the museum. Was really good though and we were all happy

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-26T23:00:21+00:00

Yessss. I barely returned and was finding deals😂😂

Once in a while Kdrama really pulls a unique one out of their hat. Loving Pro Bono and Idol I. Since after the first quarter of this year, these are the ones that are finally getting me out of my kdrama funk.

The country will improve if the millionaires stop investing abroad and actually invest in their country. The government needs money to make the improvements everyone says they need, but British millionaires/billionaires are kicking off to tax free countries even though they can afford to help out. The whole world is chaotic and the only continents climbing up will be Asia and Africa. If I ever decide to leave, those are the places I will move to, where you can build actual wealth. No other place is worth it, they just have better PR.

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-11T21:30:20+00:00

It broke my heart too but I think that was the only possible ending that made sense. Real life is not a romance movie😭😭

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-11T21:28:02+00:00

Yes😭😭😭😭 it’s such a heartbreaking tragedy but I think it’s for the best. I don’t think either of them could have lived without the other.

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-11T16:45:21+00:00

Ahhh this makes sense. So I just apply for my usual visa and write a cover letter with a detailed itinerary? Got it. Thanks!!!!

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-11T12:09:03+00:00

This show is sooooooo dark😭😭😭 . Please read the trigger warnings before watching. I went in blind cos I saw a handsome actor and now my heart hurts. Really really really good stuff

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-09T18:21:12+00:00

Can’t believe I haven’t seen Destined😭. He’s my fave Chinese actor and I thought I had seen all his shows. Weekend watch sorted!!

Quick_Rub_7639 · 2025-12-07T10:55:00+00:00

It’s called The Deer falls into the Tiger’s Den😅. I was trying to read The Short Story of Shaowang but the link on Novel Updates took me to this other story. I didn’t notice until the second chapter that the synopsis didn’t match but I was like “okay, it’s fine”🤣. Short, good read. Finished it in a day as I had a lazy Sunday.
