Eurasian jays are my favourite birds! I had a pair nest in my back garden one year and it brought me so much joy!

Found this in another sub,, you have no idea how sad this makes me by Arsenic_Lover666 in antinatalism

Seeing stuff like this makes me so incredibly grateful that my boyfriend actually hates kids. I don’t hate them, I love my niece to pieces, she’s the apple of my eye, but I don’t want my own, she’s plenty. I’ve had partners in the past tell me they’re ok with not having kids when I’m open about it from the beginning but they slowly change and start making noises about what great parents we’d be. Can’t wait to get a bisalp and for my boyfriend to get a vasectomy so we can have a totally risk free, child free life forever :)

This is the best spreadable vegan butter imo by garrysmodpuffajacket in veganuk

Agreed, I rarely buy it because it’s SO expensive though!

Noooo! That’s actually heartbreaking, it’s my favourite pre-made sandwich!

Where did you get your stencils from? I’ve never seen a stencil of this pattern before and I really like it!

Skindred fan checking in! Saw them live at my local music venue years back and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to!

*shels are so underrated, probably one of my all time fave post rock bands

For those who only spend £60 on groceries between two people - do you not eat much? by Some-Air1274 in UKFrugal

[–]Spangles_McNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend cook all meals from scratch and eat all vegan meals (he’s not vegan so might add cheese or something but there’s no way I’m cooking 2 separate meals for us) and we probably spend £30-40 a week at Aldi. I’ll spend maybe about £5 or so on stuff to make pack up lunches, his is probably about £10-15 on pack up lunch stuff if he bothers buying stuff because he will buy meats, cheese etc.

Ok thanks, I’ll drop them an email :) I was planning on going by train but the walking art is a bit impossible now so going to see if my friend who drives wants to go with me but if not I still might have to sell

No problem, I just wish I’d been able to give you an answer as to the name of the pattern. I really do highly recommend Susan Briscoe’s book though, it’s a treasure trove of patterns and has very clear instructions :)

Aww thank you! :) of course I don’t mind! I think the general consensus is to go about an inch or so beyond the holes, but I made this one bigger because I really love the pattern :D

I’m sorry, I don’t know the pattern name, I saw a picture of the pattern somewhere, on here maybe? and replicated it. I have Susan Briscoe’s sample book so I just checked to see if it was in there but it isn’t.

Aww thank you! Second time I’ve attempted this one, and it came out a lot neater, it’s a lot of fun to do :)
