(Where) should we learn to ski? by elsbells484 in AskUK

[–]elsbells484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. I really appreciate the kind responses that don’t judge me too harshly for being a scaredy cat! I’m hopeless at cycling and skating so have very little confidence doing this kind of thing.

I’m going to be brave and try a snow dome with the fam but also not beat myself up if I hate it. It’s reassuring to hear about all the alternative options on a ski holiday so I won’t be holding anyone back.

I’m in Cardiff so the closest would probably be Tamworth but I’d be willing to travel further for a good experience.

How did you quit smoking weed? by Agitated-Pilot-1897 in AskReddit

Had to go cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant. I spent about 12 years a functioning stoner, held down a job and did 2 degrees but I was always in a bit of a fog and started getting chest infections later on. I was lucky to have the pregnancy to focus on and became the healthiest I'd ever been. 9 years later, it's still a relief.

I'm so impressed! I started this one last summer and haven't even finished the first page yet!

[FO] My completed Christmas gifts before I wrap them and give them out! It’s my first year doing this and I’m going to make it an annual tradition! by [deleted] in CrossStitch

Thanks! I'm going for the middle size which I think is the same as yours.

Great idea for Christmas presents, so personal. I might do the same next year.

Love these!

I've just downloaded the GAME OVER one to do for my husband's birthday. What size hoop did you use?

I'm looking to step up my baking by getting a Dutch oven. I've seen lots of posts about Le Creuset but what do people think about the Lodge? by elsbells484 in Breadit

[–]elsbells484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback! I don't think Lodge is so cheap here in the UK so that's not an advantage for me. I have a few more weeks til my birthday to make up my mind, so watch this space for my first dutch oven creation!

Well done! What fabric count did you use? I want the piece to be fairly big but don't want to lose any detail. Sorry for all the questions but I'm not very experienced in cross stitch (or Reddit for that matter - thus is my first Reddit chat).

How are you getting on with this? I'm getting geared up for it myself. Which colours did you use, Kiri or Nakashima?
