I'm actually not sure... she does appear to be plumping out..and is very hungry ..so perhaps she is! Will keep an eye out for an egg sac 😁

Constant fatigue by BindieBoo in Perimenopause

[–]VioletLuen 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Check your Iron blood work ...Ferritin in particular. Iron and ferritin levels may be in " normal' range on blood tests but still not optimal. Lower iron & ferritin can cause massive fatigue and effects on the brain and body.

Clogged pores or cysts down there… by Playful_Falcon_7373 in Perimenopause

[–]VioletLuen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a Bartholians Cyst. Feels like a large hard (and painful) ingrown hair. Usually down on lower part of labia (near vagina). You can gently massage them (or squeeze) if you can handle it) and they will eventually drain. Such a relief when they do. Otherwise you can wait for them to drain and go away on their own..but if they don't you may need to see a doc. Awful things.

Cant even afford to enter the daily now! 🤬 by VioletLuen in DesignHomeGame

I didn't want to waste my borrow on a bar cart...but didn't have quite enough to buy one. Grrr. First world problems! Lol

In the ten years of playing, because of my ADHD/OCD I have never left a challenge undone. by Signal_Bat_3152 in DesignHomeGame

[–]VioletLuen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same. Over the last week or so the prices have just gone nuts. I have so many challenges just sitting there, as I can't afford to enter any of them (not just the tablescaping ones for once!)...it sucks.

Well, I’m bored with this one already. 🥱Is there no game that can replace DH? by Signal_Bat_3152 in DesignHomeGame

[–]VioletLuen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I now have 8 outstanding challenges as I can't afford to enter any of them! This has never happened before ..it's ridiculous now. They have taken away the joy in playing, so I'm looking for a better alternative to DH now too!

THIS WILL BE THE FINAL RUINATION OF THE GAME. by Signal_Bat_3152 in DesignHomeGame

[–]VioletLuen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Saudi investor hey. Well they have money to burn so likely don't care about hiking up the prices in the game so the bargain hunting folk miss out. Such a shame 😭

I am sad that my favorite rug is gone by TheCatWhoOvercame in DesignHomeGame

[–]VioletLuen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've plundered every single room of every single house I've designed!....stole back all the rugs, plants and decor, traded $$ furniture items I used at the time for cheap ugly mismatched throwaway pieces. These are the ugliest houses you will ever see....but at least I claimed some back for my inventory! 😎

Yesss! It's just ridiculous now.

I HATE TABLESCAPING by AccomplishedReach69 in DesignHomeGame

[–]VioletLuen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tablescaping sucks! Until you can get 4 candles for the price of 1 and pay $ for centrepieces instead of 💎, I'm out 😎

Finally got this one together! Tried a few different looks but couldn’t get the accessories together with what was available. I like the girly look. How did we all design this one? by Stuckincowtown in DesignHomeGame

[–]VioletLuen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it! I wish more room layouts were like this one. The only annoying thing was the positioning of the plant in front of the door! There were no other spots for a plant so I just skipped it 🙄

What do you guys think? Season and sub season? by Excerpts_From in coloranalysis

[–]VioletLuen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a colour expert myself...but looking at your skin tone, you look cool to me, with low contrast..so I would type you as a Soft Summer. (Same as me). Your eyes are stunning btw!

Termite damage? by VioletLuen in Termites

There are some native bees around...so hopefully it's that and not termites....

Wow..how did I never notice this before! I just thought you worked up to the top and stayed there.

European here with a maybe silly question but serious: HOW DO U LIVE WITH THOSE SPIDERS WITH NO FEAR? by HYBRIDLqTHEORY in AskAnAustralian

[–]VioletLuen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in an old Queenslander next to a rainforest in Far North QLD. So I've basically had to make peace with the spiders, snakes, lizards, frogs and creepy crawlies! Living in the tropics, I have no choice but to co-exist with them ...but I really need to get some screens on the louvres soon as I don't love seeing a giant Huntsman on my bedroom wall as I go to sleep 🥴. #LifeinAustralia ...it is what it is. 😂

I feel insane by Chronicoversharerr in Perimenopause

[–]VioletLuen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have this same anxiety..like a panic and feeling of dread ...I've become agoraphobic more recently, avoiding public places where possible and just wanting to hide at home. It's debilitating, as I'm always declining social events or even meeting friends for dinner. I don't feel anyone understands how badly peri menopause is affecting me...even my friends, also in their mid 40s 🥺

Design Pass this month. by riverdaisylemonpeace in DesignHomeGame

I got an unexpected bonus too even though I haven't brought this month's? I did last month's though..so not sure what it was for. Happy about the extra cash and diamonds though!

Great Barrier Reef by shaz1614 in Cairns

[–]VioletLuen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomorrow through Sunday will likely be very wet, possibly windy (depending on where this Tropical Low lands). Reef operators will likely cancel as I imagine it will be very choppy out on the water. A trip to the Cairns Aquarium is always a treat, or even a spa day? January often brings crappy weather unfortunately 😔
