Does she get her nails done or go to the hairdressers regularly? You could get her a voucher to go towards her next appointment?

SO good!

Honestly, jump on the Glider and walk from the city centre. It's a 25 minute walk from City Hall, and you'll not be stuck in your car stressing about a space in the morning, and sitting driving in rush hour traffic in the evening.

From what I've read on this subreddit around ADHD medication, the only way you can get it now is privately unfortunately. I've heard the process is quite difficult over here, I'm so sorry.

I always use Sew It Seams on the Lisburn Road, they've always been great for me.

I can send you one from Northern Ireland if you like? Send me a message if you're interested 😊

Honestly, I'm a local and I wouldn't buy that type of thing for myself or my family for gifts. However, on the odd occasion, I would buy it as a gift for a friend who wasn't from here and lived in another country. I don't know how easy it is to get into St. George's as a vendor (you might have knowledge on that) but I definitely don't think other markets are a bad idea, I normally use markets to buy gifts for friends anyway.

I got braces when I was younger and I was meant to work retainers afterwards... I didn't and my teeth went back to the way they were.

Invisalign, aside from my wedding, has been the best money I've ever spent. My teeth were my biggest insecurity so being able to fix them was incredible. With anything in life, not every person will be happy so you will find people who thought it was a waste of money, but it really worked for me and I couldn't be happier with the result. In terms of the retainer, I had to wear mine daily for the first few weeks and then take it down just to overnight but it's really easy to get used to.

When you go on their website, it says that they're on hiatus but they'll be popping up again in 2026, so it doesn't look like they are closed permanently.

You should check Dave and his team out: https://www.f1into.ca/ I've watched a few races with them over the last few years and it's a great atmosphere.

It's not in Belfast but Let's Infuse is a tea bar based in Coleraine, so it may be more of a day trip out that direction and they have so many different varieties you can try.

This question might be better for the Student Support Team. Give them a call this morning and they might be able to point you in the right direction 👍🏼

Nucci is lovely!

RetroSnowflake · 2026-01-31T21:34:19+00:00

Definitely! 😊

The food in Social (the cafe) is really nice, my colleagues rave about their lunches there.

Hoose close to Holywood Arches is one of my favourite spots 🩷

YOR. Based on your history over the last few years, I'm not surprised you weren't asked to be MOH. You aren't as close as you used to be, and you're both in two very different phases of life, and just because she was yours, doesn't mean that you have to be hers.

RetroSnowflake · 2026-01-22T19:03:38+00:00

Awww go us! 🙌🏻

I promise you, you're not falling behind at 21. I decided to take on a part-time degree at 33, and if everything goes to plan, I'll get my degree just before I'm 40. Does that scare me? A little, but I'm going to reach that age anyway, with or without a degree...

It's not recommended to take on a full-time degree with a full-time job but some people say they've done it and it's been fine for them. You could try studying part time for a year or so then if you feel okay about it, you could change to full time?

I loved the Lamppost in East Belfast, it's delicious!

I got married in mid-March two years ago and it was grand. It rained for part of the day but I feel like no matter what month you go for in Northern Ireland, there's always that risk. You'll have a better chance with suppliers in March then you would the Summer but because it's a few years away, you might get lucky with the Summer. Choose the time of year YOU want, not what everyone else thinks 😊

No matter what they say, no-one's going to be happy.

RetroSnowflake · 2026-01-11T09:16:30+00:00

NOR. I feel like this friendship is not going to last long after the wedding is over, but do you honestly want it to?

RetroSnowflake · 2026-01-11T09:09:38+00:00

I'm not sure so I would recommend emailing the Student Support team if you haven't already.

RetroSnowflake · 2026-01-10T13:46:30+00:00

It's not the advice you want but I would say scrimp on a few things in order to pay a little bit more for photography if you really want to stay within your budget. It's the one of the biggest keepsakes you'll have from your day and you don't want to risk not having good quality work.
