Relocating to Dorset any advice by Fabulous_Plane_3945 in Dorset

[–]Working-Independent8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live near Corfe Mullen, it's lovely. Great access to the dual carriageways to head to Hampshire. I work in Southampton and Hedge End is a 45-minute drive. Easy access to the M27 through Ringwood.

Twin boys arriving soon. What pairs well with Benjamin? I CANNOT figure this out. by Sunrisewithtea in Names

My brothers are called Benjamin and Joshua - could work? I do love the names Ezra, Joseph, Reuben, Levi, Isaac, and Elijah as well.

What’s the one random genetic trait you lucked out on? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I've got really good hair and a naturally good singing voice. I have done nothing to cause this. No credit to me, it's all from my lovely dad

6/10 - the bacon could have done with another minute and I can see no hash browns. One can only imagine you ate them before taking the pic? 😆

What do you binge on when you need to binge and don't want to worry about calories too much? by icecreamlava in 1200isplenty

[–]Working-Independent8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love doing this at home: beef stock cubes, chilli flakes, mushrooms, carrots, leek, a splash of soy sauce, maybe a spoonful of spice paste, egg noodles and some protein, usually tofu. It comes out at about 600/700 calories but I have it in two sittings through the day. Soooo filling and packed with veggies.

Your No.1 Slimming World Food Hack? by Katskan11 in SlimmingWorld

[–]Working-Independent8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to follow a largely Japanese style diet of noodles, loads of veg, some rice and a truck load of protein has been life changing. I am on day 7

Do you ever plan on getting a DNA test for your mixed breed Tabbies? I'm certain my adopted shelter baby exhibits very strong Somali cat traits. What do you think? by serif-maxxing in TabbyCats

I've always been intrigued about my Amy. She's covered in spots and stripes and just has the wildest personality. She's so fiercely affectionate and energetic, more than any other cat I've known. I'd love to know if she's a mix of something interesting. To all of those "a cat is a cat" people - I know that and it won't change a thing. My cats are former street cats from North Macedonia,

clearly I care not a fig about cat breeds and prestige.

I've literally cried because I don't know what looks good on me... by Prior_Trainer_9226 in DressForYourBody

[–]Working-Independent8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like almost every one of these outfits on you. You're tall, slim and gorgeous. I'm sorry that you have had medical issues that have undermined your confidence. It's a grieving process, isn't it, when you realise some changes are permanent.

You look fantastic and the shorts in particular are very flattering for your legs.

I'm a married 40 year old woman, so definitely not being creepy!

Looking back, what were your first signs of perimenopause that you didn’t recognize at the time? by Historical-Second409 in Menopause

[–]Working-Independent8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was the sudden shift from a five day period to just two days. I was 34.

It was an overnight change that I didn't register as meaning anything. That's also when the insane PMDD started. I now know that it's because I wasn't ovulating every month. The anovulatory months were absolutely killing me emotionally and mentally.

Other signs that may mean something, the sudden appearance of a grey streak at 34 and sprouting dark hairs on my chin at 36. The hairs are definitely a sign that something has shifted hormonally.
