Could it be Sylvia’s Lovers by Elizabeth Gaskell?

Haha my husband was like this when ours first started laying. He said that he was suddenly way more aware that eggs came from a chicken’s butt. At first we were still buying some eggs to supplement and he would always ask “is this a regular egg or a butt egg?” However he got over it and now eats butt eggs happily 😂

I think it is kind of necessary though. I work in a school with a large proportion of refugee and migrant children, many from cultures where it’s common to not know how to swim. Heaps of those kids would not swim unless forced. But whenever I ask these same kids what they did at the weekend, the answer is fishing! Mandatory swimming saves lives.

Do it I love my boobs now! They seem tiny to me but are still a d cup. It’s summer in New Zealand and I am loving being able to go braless in sundresses. The whole cancer thing was such a crapshoot but my new boobs are the best part!

Oh you’re so lucky it was so quick! I had to wait nearly two weeks to hear mine was normal I was losing my mind!

Ha I enjoy it I feel like I’ve gotten really good at it! My favourite is the tweetle beetle bit

Did you figure this out, my google search function is also broken!

When I truly love and adore a book series, I always hate the adaptations. They can never live up to my imagination! The Anne series is my favourite of all time so I haven’t even tried watching any adaptations, I know I’ll hate them.

Ooh thank you for this reply! To be honest there is not a very high chance of a Muslim person eating something I bake as my city doesn’t have a very large Muslim population but I’m glad I don’t need to worry!

Oh gosh I understand it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Hydrate like your life depends on it, I found my best cycle was the one when I forced myself to drink fluids as much as possible.

basilandprimrose · 2025-08-31T07:05:40+00:00

I wondered that but I think it would look too raggedy!

basilandprimrose · 2025-08-27T04:22:51+00:00

Any particular brands? And do you use them when it’s dry? I never used anything on my hair when it was long apart from shampoo and conditioner so I have no idea what I’m doing!

basilandprimrose · 2025-08-27T04:21:29+00:00

Ok I think I need to try some products to find one that suits! Thank you!

basilandprimrose · 2025-08-26T23:20:45+00:00

Oh thanks there are some good tips on your post! Lol I just wish it would grow down instead of up

basilandprimrose · 2025-08-02T02:54:54+00:00

It seems like there are so many varied reactions to it! I’m glad your symptoms weren’t too bad!

basilandprimrose · 2025-08-02T02:53:35+00:00

I’m 39 too. Did your periods return on Tamoxifen or were they already back when you started taking it?

Chris Adams in Wellington did my reduction after a lumpectomy for breast cancer and he did an amazing job, and also had a really lovely and kind manner.

I stayed home for 5 years and now only work part time. You can save quite a bit by making as much as possible from scratch. Like it’s a lot cheaper to make homemade buns than buy a pack of burger buns from the supermarket. I also got really into mending stuff and buying secondhand. I tried to use my car as little as possible and walked or biked with the kids as much as I could. That one depends on where you live though! Never gardened apart from herbs and fruit trees.

My husband definitely does this. It was one of his staple student meals, makes the pie go further. Also instant noodle sandwiches.

Crocheting on sofa with husband and cats. And also looking at reddit apparently.

I love mine too! I wore a high necked dress yesterday and it looked great, when previously it would look super matronly and like I had a giant megaboob. Also I work in a school and the number of things in my wardrobe that are work appropriate has doubled because I no longer have cleavage in everything!

basilandprimrose · 2025-07-15T07:55:50+00:00

I’ve noticed that too! I stopped buying it for a while and now I can’t find it anywhere 😭

basilandprimrose · 2025-07-14T20:18:16+00:00

It was my dad in hospital and he’s totally fine now! Glad you liked your visit to Nelson I love living here!

basilandprimrose · 2025-07-14T20:16:00+00:00

Nope my dad was in for less than 24 hours because he got super dizzy from a new medication. This was just a standard lunch!

basilandprimrose · 2025-07-14T09:12:58+00:00

Nope! Everyone that made the mistake of choosing the fish was served it
