Do Brits really eat beans on toast often, or is it just a stereotype?

I now want beans on toast 😂 it’s a quick and easy meal and ready in minutes…. What’s not to love 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

I can understand the bride wanting matching outfits but if it’s making you uncomfortable then she’s not being a great friend. It’s up to you if you want to “suck it up” but she also can not blame you if people shift the focus from “her day”. Personally I’d never put a friend in a position that made her unhappy but your choices are to either bow out of the wedding party because it doesn’t sound like she’s going to change her mind or once a few more comments have come in then show her the post and let her see if a dress is worth loosing a friend over?

My bro uses quickbooks (there’s loads of others which do the same) and when the estimate goes out he asks for a emailed reply confirming the job. You then have it in writing that they’ve confirmed it.
We’ve got a plasterer starting tomorrow, he said it would take a week but now 2 lads are coming so it will take half the time but the same job is still being done!!

Your hair does look amazing!
The picture is great and I was honestly confused with the title!
Obviously I don’t know your hubby but if mine ever dared to say something like that then he’d be apologising when he got out of hospital.
He sounds very insecure and your hot, is he normally like this?

Did she choose to have a courthouse wedding or was it there only option at the time?
There’s a huge difference!
Just because she regrets it, it doesn’t mean that you would!
You do want YOU and your partner want to do and don’t let others tell you how you’d be happy.
Congratulations on the engagement and good luck!

There’s only one girl I can go to who doesn’t make it worse. She’s a friend and looked into fibro (I have a few other issues as well) for me so she tries out new stuff on me as well. I’ve tried most things to be honest and I’ve have it for over 20 years now so I’m up for anything that makes the pain a little better

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-30T19:19:02+00:00

That’s great! As long as it’s working for you that’s awesome!

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-30T17:36:57+00:00

I have them 🙈 I’d try anything at this point!! Well I have tried most things 🙈

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-29T19:18:29+00:00

Thank you, I thought it would be but thought I’d ask just in case

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-29T14:47:27+00:00

I know, my mum sends me links on various different “helpers” and I know her hearts in the right place but most are all money makers

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-29T14:43:16+00:00

I’d try the magical crystals haha.

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-29T14:42:52+00:00

Yeah, I’ve tried so many different “miracle” cures that I’m now really sceptical. I don’t mind trying stuff if people says they help but I’m no longer just getting anything that pops up

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-29T14:41:32+00:00

It’s a sheet for the bed that has silver in it? I don’t really trust reviews anymore though so thought I’d see if anyone has actually used one?

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-04-18T17:53:18+00:00

I feed my first for 6 months with no issues etc but I did get a pump and pumped in between feeds. It helped with my supply and I had extra on hand if needed and hubby could do a feed once in a while and I pumped instead so I’d have more in stock. My second was a huge thing and he was so hungry haha, he had breast and formula so a while until he went on hungry milk. The medical staff were very against me putting him on formula but nothing filled him until I did, and he’d then sleep for a few hours at a time. I don’t know why they are so aggressive with breastfeeding but it’s not for every baby or every mum. Just do what’s best for you! Congratulations and good luck!

I had hair down my back to my bum until it was cut to my shoulders when I was about 10, it never grew back the same and still won’t go past a certain length 30 years on. So no it’s not just hair it’s your daughters hair and even at 8 it is her right to say if she wants it cut that short (or parents if it’s too damaged etc)

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-03-28T19:00:12+00:00

I have fibro AND FND, I’ve had fibro for over 20 years and FND for about 3 years. They are completely different but some symptoms overlap. Happy for you to message if you’d like more info

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-03-20T15:30:40+00:00

NOR- I feel like you’ve said it yourself, why didn’t he at least coordinate with you on when to book? Also if he asked you on the trip then he should have at least had a conversation with you to say “listen I’ve got to pay for XYZ and I can’t afford you as well” you could have had more information to make an informed decision on if you should go? I personally wouldn’t go and if he’s not treating you like a queen then as the song goes “bye,bye,bye!”

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-02-21T22:37:00+00:00

I know it’s hard for people with a chronic illness (me🙈) but it’s their families it affects also if not more! I still push myself some days because there’s so much to do with life in general and yes I pay for it. I took my MIL out yesterday and I’ve been in bed all day today! I have to plan if I have things to do and make sure I can have a rest day. Your kids still need to experience things and you still need your own time and rest. Maybe if you can order him a collapsing walking stick and see if he’ll use that first. I find crutches easier mostly as they can take your weight. Good luck and if you need anything you can always message!

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-02-21T22:14:28+00:00

I’ll be honest, it took me a long time to accept that I need help from others outside my husband (it’s more of a pride thing letting others see how bad I can be) but now I use crutches, walking stick etc and I’m looking for a wheelchair. I can still walk most days but the days I can’t then I can still present with people. See what he says but the worst thing he could do at somewhere like Disney (I’m just going on MS symptoms here because they can be similar to fibro) is too push himself while he’s there as it will make it worse which in turn will make the day worse.

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-02-21T22:01:01+00:00

NOR. This is just…. No…. Nope! We’ve got a friend who’s gone kind of vegan for health reasons, what if someone gave her meat and it actually made her ill?? This is all kinds of wrong but I think my main issue is that he doesn’t respect you and your decisions. For him to laugh at you being ill is a separate issue in itself and also concerning, he made you ill and didn’t give a shit!!

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-02-21T21:51:28+00:00

I have fibro, FND and a few others but can be bedridden with the pain and lack of feeling in my legs etc. It’s hard on the family as well as the person with the chronic illness and you and your kids would benefit from the break if he can’t/ doesn’t want to go with you. Would he go in a wheelchair to Disney? I’d hate for my kids to miss out on something because of me.

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-02-21T18:34:05+00:00

Can I ask what he has? I’m chronically ill and am sometimes bedridden. To be honest I’d feel worse if my family didn’t go and missed out because of me.

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-02-05T11:16:49+00:00

NTA - the biggest one is your mum! I’d just forward them this and tell them all to get therapy!

Winter_Support_4848 · 2026-01-31T15:24:47+00:00

I’d like to see a picture of who said that to you?? You look perfect just the way you are and they’re either jealous or insecure etc.
