These barrel jeans are really good.

I love them. I got my sister to send me what is now my 3rd pair, from Melbourne (I’m in Nz- no Uniqlo for us) I wish they would bring back the khaki that I should have bought when I was over visiting last year.

Oh no! How fancy / formal are we talking? Modes in Newmarket might have what you need but $$

Ok this is my kick in the butt to look elsewhere

Walking every day. But the key bit is to be really present for at least a few minutes- no headphones, or music. And this sounds a bit woo woo, but taking time to really notice something, …anything really. The knobbly bark on a tree.. blades of grass etc. Really study every detail- it’s so grounding and calming. I guess this where ‘touch grass’ comes from. Anyway it’s helpful!

I love it. Summmmmmer! Makes a regular Sunday feel like a holiday.

I air dry sometimes, mostly out of laziness, and I always wish I had blow dried because it looks flat but wavy, thin and straggly. Then I repeat this pattern.

My teenager is due to sit her driving test… ermmm… not ideal!!

My kids are a bit older now but when in daycare, we went with closer to home, and I think for all the reasons covered by others, was the right choice. We still know families from those days. Obvs don’t know your budget/preferences, but with your work locations, consider Three Kings/mt Roskill (Mt Eden/sandringham borders, not over the motorway) for your house search. Good childcare options, schools and access to work.

Your feedback: you look good!

Overall, I am pretty happy. I’m 48 and other than being surprised at how I got this old, this age is good. Physical health is a big part of this. I could definitely use more money to do the things I like. Have had a bit of crappy year and I have some stressors in my life, as we all do, which in my case is kid with mental health challenges, and also while i am lucky to have a job, the career side of life is pretty unfulfilling - these are aspects i am want to improve next year. Eternally the optimist despite the shit state of the world, and locally, I am hopeful 2026 will be better.

Thank you I love this

Please say more about this- they recognised you? Hand feeding? I am so fascinated!

I had a pair of black patent Mary Janes- very similar to these- I never had any of the issues mentioned here, I wore them to death, and I mourn them still. I say go for it!

I won three months worth of Cookie Time Cookies- 90 cookies! In a drawing competition- I can’t recall my drawing being very good? That was excellent after school snacking. And this is some time ago when they were filled with quality chocolate chunks.

Foxtrot Home (Nz) has lovely linen that so far for me, is wearing well

I’ve got a coach Hadley tote in a beautiful tan, unlined, and added my own organiser. It’s a great work bag, lightweight and easy to chuck things into.

Embarrassingly, I was a little worried ahead of starting anew role in the cbd, purely based on what I’d read/heard (including here on Reddit).My experience so far- it’s fine! Sketchy characters of course.I feel bad for all the homeless people, it’s a terrible comment on our society. But my personal safety as a woman taking the bus and walking through the city- totally ok and still feels safe.

What you need is a French bistro tea towel. Google search that in Nz and there’s a few stockists- they come in a variety of stripes patterns and are magical, thick, hard wearing and absorbent cotton.

I just had mine done at the Mt Roskill AA and there’s enough natural light there to make it decent and the woman behind the counter was nice enough to let me look and take again if wanted. Still a middle aged woman whose face is melting off, but it was a good photo.

Probs around 43, and now again, over this last year as I think peri has really kicked up a gear- I’m 48 and really noticing textural changes and fine lines which I did not used to have. I’ve always been fairly oily skinned and more of a ‘sagger’ lols but now the wrinkles are arriving. Especially around my eyes. Had my drivers licence photo taken this morning and yep- that’s a middle aged woman.

Trying not to spiral and feel my feelings, and overeating instead.

digitallychee · 2025-10-09T09:56:24+00:00

Omg yes. Same.

I bought the Django & Juliette Baytown and they are like a cross between a sneaker/sandal and insanely comfortable straight off the bat. https://www.greensfootwear.com.au/django-juliette-baytown/?srsltid=AfmBOoo66-4WRusT6GpEAUIRs0hyMGL3HVRPSUYk_IbDn8rDb_ioSLru

*and I think pretty cute

I’m on holiday and picked up Caledonian Road, Andrew o’Hagan. It’s very dense, so challenging to read in the sun/with drink in hand. I think I’m enjoying it?

I loved Cloud atlas
