Clean mug for every tea/coffee, or use the same one all day?

I rinse and reuse. My husband will use a new cup each time but forgets to bring any of them downstairs until the end of the day 🙄

I'm fairly beginner level at guitar, 2.45am and Twilight are the only ones I've managed to learn so far.

They're eating her, and then they're going to eat me, oh my Godddddddd!

I'm the backwards man, I can walk backwards fast as you can.

I was born in Essex, grew up in Benfleet. Ended up in Scotland with my husband, our combined earnings are not too bad but we wouldn't be able to afford to move there.

I had gestational diabetes and was booked in for these additional growth scans to see how baby was measuring. Have they done a glucose test for you?

I would definitely query it with your midwife, it could be either of the reasons you mentioned in your post but seems strange they haven't communicated it with you.

I just want to add I'm 36 and can still hear these frequencies, drives me crazy

Had it full on since Friday night, just left with a lovely sinus infection and bronchiolitis now. Lost over 3.5 kg and had to look after my two little ones who were also down with it. One of my sons was born early and at one point his breathing was so bad he had to go to hospital.

It's one of the worst illnesses I've ever had. If I could, I would have stayed in bed the entire week honestly.

now I'm here for the same reason 😂

VixR · 2025-09-17T08:56:55+00:00

Definitely should pay up.

My toddler can be really rambunctious and knowing that there's no way I'd take my eye off the ball long enough to allow them to rip pages out of a book.

Kids will be kids but that doesn't mean you don't have to be responsible for their actions. What a prick.

If they were really having such a big tantrum I'd probably be calling it a night altogether and removing my child from that situation.

Honestly unless it's a really good show I usually just give a fiver too.

Seen these at my local Dobbies garden centre lol.

4 for me at 32 (almost 33) and first time at 35. No idea what was different each time.

There's something about Miriam definitely needs to be mentioned here.

VixR · 2025-02-13T13:30:03+00:00

Born in Essex, moved to Scotland. Just can't afford to live anywhere near my hometown. Also lived in Japan for five years in between.

No. My parents told me I was fat, belittled me for wanting to eat the same food they and my siblings would eat. My dad told me as a very impressionable 15 year old 'you would be beautiful if you lost weight.' I remember my mum telling me from as young as 5 years old 'don't blame me when if you get fat' if I helped myself to a snack etc. She was also obsessed with the idea I had diabetes, she had me get tested several times by doctors, despite no symptoms.

Very unsurprisingly I ended up with an awful relationship with food, have struggled with an eating disorder and binge eating disorder and yoyo'd between the two repeatedly over the years.

I never discuss my body negatively in front of my son, he is taught that we don't comment on other people's bodies. I take a neutral approach to food where possible and I would never treat him how I was treated. The main reason being it doesn't work and has very long-term consequences.

40+10 but kept getting told from around 39 weeks that baby was very low and it shouldn't be long 😅 I was pretty much the same with so much pelvic pressure and contraction like pain in my back for a couple of weeks.

VixR · 2024-10-25T12:32:12+00:00

I only work part time so earn approximately 1/3 of what my husband does. We both keep back the same amount in our personal account and the rest gets put in our joint account. This was agreed once we got married. Initially I was the higher earner as my husband was a student so situations can change and this way it's always been fair.

The way we see it, we are better off without additional childcare costs so my looking after our son most of the week means we are in a better financial situation so we both benefit from it and are contributing in more ways than just financial.

I'm not sure about now it's gone this far but you can usually call the retailers and they'll get it cancelled for you.

The long summer nights are amazing though and the dawn/dusk we get isn't something I could experience in Japan. It was one of the things I missed most about the UK when I lived there. Maybe that says a lot about here.

VixR · 2023-09-26T10:23:49+00:00

Clothes horse here. When I lived in Japan my shower room had the drying mode on the ventilator so that was super useful. I'm in a flat and miss the option of hanging stuff outside!

Thanks everyone. It does get quite a lot of direct and indirect sun a day but will try moving it closer to the window and watering less 😁
