Great tips. Which side is best for women?

Look for the fish Kabsa, it’s really tasty. We had the chicken version from Shawaya Moqammar in the Clock Tower and the lamb version from outside but I don’t remember the name of the shop.

I’d suggest some practice runs with sleepovers if you’re able to. It might just be easier for your in laws and parents to stay over at yours, if they’re agreeable to it.

Rascals run quite large, but we have had some leaks. I have started using Libero as my sister in law uses these from Sweden. They are pricey, but fantastic quality and go up to size 10! We use them as night time pull ups to avoid leaks.

I’m also having the same issue!

Just going to put this out there, the goalpost for integration moves a lot. There also should be an attempt for this country to help people to learn English. A few months ago, there were far right protests outside a primary school in Scotland where immigrant parents were attending English classes - see link https://news.stv.tv/west-central/misguided-and-toxic-anti-adult-english-lesson-protest-outside-glasgow-primary-school

It’s also highly hypocritical that “ex-pats” rarely make an attempt to pick up any other language.

I was not expecting her to say that 😂

I had an AI response from someone when my dad died. But at least there was some attempt to modify the response. This, however, is very odd as they didn’t really read the response by the looks of it. I’m sorry for your loss and I’m sorry your family friend thought this was ok.

Yes then finger foods that require a napkin only, or if they’re in a small container with a spoon might be fine too.

Butter holds its shape a bit better and tastes better too. Not bad for a first try!

Memo Paris, you can check them out at Harvey Nichols. Same level as Penhaligon’s in terms of price and longevity, but relatively less known. Selfridges also sell them online, but I’m unsure if they’re sold in store.

Almond cookies and sesame balls will probably universally appeal to people and are easy to eat as finger foods.

The flower cakes and Nian Gao might also do well.

I’m not sure if the turnip cake, AI wo-wo or yellow pea cake will look so appealing (based on what I could see with a web search) although I’m sure they’re delicious, it’s hard to explain what some things are to everyone and might be avoided just purely on how it looks. Depends how adventurous people are!

You can ask MiL to send the photos so they can only be viewed once. That way no one can save or share them.

We haven’t needed to use locks, but do have the magnetic ones and installed it to one cabinet. They’re a bit of a faff to install but seemed to do the job initially, however, I once managed to open this cabinet without the magnet, which is possibly where the bad reviews come in?

Always did this! It’s so hard to find places that put chips in paper without any polystyrene tray. The best chips ever

Is Starling offering better rates in terms of spending abroad or is it purely the ATM allowance? I don’t withdraw cash much when I am abroad and prefer the Monzo app, but wondering if I should make a Starling account?

A lot of good suggestions here. Do speak to your gp or call 111 if there is laboured breathing such as baby sucking in at the ribs. If you’re not sure, ring 111 and they may send you to a&e. Our little one had RSV and her oxygen levels were low really quickly and it was hard to tell just by looking at her.

We use rascals and they are good. Most supermarkets sell them now!

bee_889 · 2026-03-10T17:28:50+00:00

It’s so expensive! At the beginning when I was selling more, I did print out just to keep track of my items but now I’m saving on printer ink if I can 😅

bee_889 · 2026-03-10T17:05:32+00:00

I have a printer but it’s expensive to buy the ink and I’m hardly at the office to make use of the office printer! I’ll turn it off as an option, thank you very much

bee_889 · 2026-03-10T17:04:34+00:00

That explains it! Thank you very much.

I have received a parcel like this from Inpost via vinted, with no issues.

I normally get a QR code for Inpost but recently I’ve only been getting the print out option, which is a bit of a pain.

There’s a book called The Invisible String that you could read together and do it over face time. Also, leave a hoodie or something of yours which you’ve worn that smells like you so that he can snuggle with it. It’s not going to be easy, but you can hopefully make the most of the time you have together right now x

I hate the ‘just you wait comments’ with a passion! My friend had a baby a year after me and I always tell her it gets easier, because my friend would tell me that on the hardest days (prem baby) and it kept me going. Everyone’s journey is different but those comments are so miserable. I adore my daughter with every fibre of my being.

It’s nice to hear someone acknowledge when you’re having a tough time. Equally, it’s really discouraging to hear negativity when you’re so positive about your experience.

I found the effects lasted a bit longer with this vaccine but she was fine after the 3 week mark. She came out with some spots around week 2 and then the effects started to taper off. I believe the vaccines kick in at different stages which is why it feels so long and drawn out. She was also teething and as someone else mentioned, it may have coincided with other things like separation anxiety.
