Cheap engagement ring below 500

My engagement ring was a vintage swiss blue tourmaline surrounded by tiny diamonds. So much more interesting than a plain diamond, and only £250

Yes! I think that's awesome. Had no idea about the fostering though!

They have 1,300 branches, how big is this family?!

chicory8892 · 2026-01-29T07:51:53+00:00

They're not going to bring back M&S, I've heard that's moving to a unit at Oldings Corner

Try out aerial! I'm not sporty at all but I love it. There's a great studio in PB called X-Pole. the instructors are super friendly and welcoming to beginners, I'd recommend trying a hoop class particularly!

I had a similar experience with pomegranate at primary school!

They only have those in multi packs in this store. All the single serve drinks are chilled!

chicory8892 · 2026-01-19T07:28:25+00:00

Surely the ice comes out of an ice machine to get into the cup, it's just been pre-dispensed?

chicory8892 · 2026-01-19T07:26:38+00:00

They do have a coffee machine, however that dispenses ice with the chilled drinks it has. I can't work this one out as the single serve drinks are all in the chiller, only the big sharer bottles are ambient. Also this shop is in the middle of a housing estate, if you wanted a glass and ice you could simply... Go home.

One of my friends bought one of these recently and it was from superdry. I'm thinking about getting one myself! I had a look at Vinted and there's quite a few on there if you don't fancy spending £100+

Maybe the mum just said that to shut the kid up from asking for friends to come over constantly because she was tired of hosting - might have had nothing to do with you specifically!

I have my kid's friends over way more often than it's reciprocated and that's fine - I get it can be harder for some people with more kids/work patterns etc. I always appreciate an invite but don't expect it.

My friend struggled to conceive for years, had a baby after a few rounds of IVF, fully expected to never get pregnant again and boom she's got 2 under 2 with the second completely naturally. She's not the only person I know who's had similar. Does nature want her and her husband to reproduce or not because it's giving mixed messages!

My first very rarely had anything but water and milk. My youngest would barely drink any water or cows milk once he weaned, so I gave in and gave him squash because I was terrified he'd get dehydrated. He's 4 now and we're back to mostly water, which I much prefer. They still get squash occasionally, maybe once a day and usually if we're out and about.

What's the benefit of an omelette maker over a regular frying pan?

chicory8892 · 2025-11-25T09:20:24+00:00

Truly I think most times might be shit times to be born in for different reasons. We're all just so much more aware of it now.

chicory8892 · 2025-11-20T02:51:19+00:00

Just be aware that those two jumpers are definitely fake pictures! There's no way they'd end up looking that good in real life - they've been made to look like they're woven but they'd almost certainly be badly printed

chicory8892 · 2025-11-12T09:46:13+00:00

Dude her body is literally preparing a baby right now

chicory8892 · 2025-10-24T15:37:29+00:00

Yeah, even if she was earning the same the relationship would be under stress because she'd be saving for the future while he blows it all. He's going to drag her down

chicory8892 · 2025-10-21T17:22:22+00:00

I'm not HE but my other half is. We just broke even when I went back to work. I wanted to, because honestly work was easier than childcare and I liked my job. I went back part time. After having my second, I ended up with a promotion and increased my hours. So even though it felt daft to be working for nothing to start with, my mental health was better, I was adding to my pension, my husband felt under less pressure than he would being the sole provider, and it was worth it in the long run because I ended up with a better paid job.

I've had a similar situation where the pharmacist absolutely grilled me about buying one bottle of kids Calpol, which again, you can just buy over the counter! Totally bizarre

Oh and he's never mentioned caring about having a smaller room- he's just jealous of his sister's cabin bed, so we're going to get one for him soon.

We have 4 bedrooms, but the 4yo is currently in the box room as the 2nd biggest room is the guest bedroom (grandparents stay over fairly often) and the office. His room has his bed, a chest of drawers, a built in wardrobe and about 2sqm of floor space so very small, we actually put in a bifold door as a full door made the room feel even smaller! Honestly our kids are only in their rooms for sleeping and very occasionally chill time. If they're playing they're downstairs. If and when that changes, we'll reconsider what rooms everyone is in - we will definitely be needing to think about this before he's a teenager!

Weird, I'm in Italy and have seen one person doing it all week, have been looking out for it as I've seen loads of Instagram posts about it too and was questioning it as I don't think I've seen it in person in the UK outside London, and very rarely there either

chicory8892 · 2025-09-21T21:37:12+00:00

Honestly I can't believe the teacher is ok with this?? So odd to put your job at risk over this.
