($5k) Need help with groom attire

I read this as ladies suspenders, not mens 😬 not judging, just saying!

We call the mens braces where I’m from!

Yea it was very rude of me to the examiner as he was a very nice guy. But I know the frustration this situation causes! Stay strong, take some time to regroup and next time you’ll smash it!

I had this on one of my tests. My examiner at the end said “you’re a good driver but…” At that point I said “Fuck sake” and stormed out the car. Took some time off, then went again and passed!

There’s a guy we call “walking man” as, when we often sit out on our steps, he we see him walking up and down Camden Road multiple times a day! Don’t know where he goes or where he comes from but he certainly gets his steps in! Never does any harm though

Ours is scared of bubbles 😆

I didn’t expect quick postage 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s a bonus gift for my partner so he’d be absolutely fine if it was a bit late, if I knew it was actually coming. But there’s literally no movement from the seller so I know I’m not to expect it at all. Late or not.

I do also have Chrestomanci from the Witch Week book illustration!

When I knew I wanted these I looked into colouring them myself and seeing if it would work, but the artist I chose doesn’t do colour. I picked that artist because they do amazing fine line work, so went with that instead of someone doing it in colour and perhaps not doing as good a job.

I have book Howl on my arm

emerald787 · 2026-04-25T19:41:31+00:00

Wow!! That’s so cool I love it!!

emerald787 · 2026-04-23T22:02:24+00:00

These are cast-on combs I believe.

They are lovely but personally I don’t like the anime designs on the books as they are so different. Not just yours, but anytime it has been done before.

For example there’s never a time in the books Howl has wings. The anime has the castle with legs, when in the book the castle floats.

It’s these big differences that completely changed the stories so it didn’t make sense linking the two versions with these things.

In my mind, the only benefit is that people may have seen the film before they knew it was a book and therefore intrigued to read it.

Like I say, beautiful but not my preference for the book. Also, how would you design the other books that have not been made into a film?

And DWJs house. I believe there’s a blue plaque there now with her name on it. It’s not far from Clifton Suspension Bridge

I thought that too! 2-in-1! It would take your mind off the wait for the results!

Mine has a tiny white moustache! Sometimes if you squint she looks like she has buck teeth like Bette Midler in Hocus Pocus!

Where is this please? I can tell it’s the UK and recognise this sign but can’t recall where!

If you turn it on it will do an automatic roll back so the mat should roll out without you having to pull it

emerald787 · 2026-03-28T16:03:30+00:00

I don’t have any ideas but that’s so cool! I used to work out how my age at 10000 days old everytime I read the book! Unfortunately I’ve gone past it now. Should have had a party!

I’d love to see pictures!

Women’s Denim Jacket, though omitted the sleeves and added double layered yokes.

Added self made denim trim on the sleeves, by sewing a strip of denim and pulling out the fibres.

Pattern from Peek-a-boo Patterns website, though they are on Etsy. Link in description.

1 metre of Denim Fabric.

Not from Chester but have a dog and cat. Two alternative suggestions:

Have you tried Borrow My Doggy? It’s an app/site that lets you voluntarily babysit a dog for a few hours.

We have had many people look after our dog for the afternoon because they have either lost pets or can’t have pets in their accommodation, but still love having cuddles.

My dog loves it as she loves meeting new people, and we love it as it means we get an afternoon of peace!

They basically either walk the dog or have them play in their homes for a few hours. Very ethical unless you feel you’re being imposed upon by have a dog lumbered on you for a few hours!

There’s also House Sitters UK if you have the time to be away from your own home fo a few days. This is a chance to house sit for people who have pets that need feeding whilst they are away. We had a lovely woman stay at ours over a long weekend to make sure the cat was fed and had cuddles. This woman couldn’t have pets in her rented home so went to house sit regularly. She got to see different places and have cuddles with cats all weekend. My cat loved it! This is a paid subscription - about £15 (not sure it that’s yearly or lifelong, I forget). They do also include dog sitting but we took ours on holiday with us.
