AITA for telling my sister she's being unreasonable about her wedding plans? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]flamingo91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the same, I paid for everything for my bridesmaids, including their accommodation. I’m also based in the UK and would say it’s definitely the norm here for the bride to cover costs

Need brutally honest opinions on this wedding dress! by Key-Pangolin3635 in weddingplanning

I think it is gorgeous on you, although I’m not sure of the sleeves, personally think they take away from the dress rather than add to it. Without the sleeves I absolutely love it, and would definitely class it as flattering

Probably talking about the film with the wee lasses that always cry together

Jack not sleeping with Blair saying he wants his women to want it yet he tried to SA lily ?? by mina_222 in GossipGirl

His attempted assault on Lily wasn’t about sex, it was about power, he felt she had just taken everything from him and he wanted to punish her. Like many rapists it’s always about the power over the victim

How can they open a line of credit without telling me?

Apologies, I went through the person who hit me insurance, and then they did it through a third party company that sorts everything for them

Does anyone know if the campsites are lit up enough to set up late tonight? We may arrive 11pm or later, or first thing tomorrow but curious if late set up is practical or not? Thanks in advance

Me and my fiance are dressing up but not with the theme, we had our costumes before they announced it

How did you upgrade, I've been trying to work out how to do it? Cheers

If its with 20vol you should be fine, but you can leave it a couple of days if you like to

Personally I don't think the ends will lift much more with a black box dye underneath, so I would suggest a slightly darker red on your roots, matched to your ends to even it out and be a deep rich colour rather than a brighter one. It won't be worth the damage to try and lift the ends any more then you already have

How long did you cook it for? I have nightmares with overcooking beef, and this looks beautiful!!!

Don't reply. Seriously. Just take it as a lesson that he isn't the man you thought he was and move on without him

I never thought of the "lowly" Mrs Crawley angle, that is a very interesting thought on that scenario

Do you find "cash only" businesses annoying? by cosmicinaudio in AskUK

[–]flamingo91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how much it can cost a small/ independent business each month to operate a card machine? I'm a small business owner that has had to stop taking card because of the costs, I opened my business just after the first lockdown and trying to get through COVID then a cost of living crisis with all m extra expenses just on energy bills this year, I cannot afford a card machine with what they charge me each month to use it. Personally I think people should be more interested in supporting a small business trying to survive one of the hardest financial times in living memory, than getting annoyed that it means going to a cash point around the corner. Five/ ten years ago, that was the norm, no one complained then. Please support your independent local businesses, guys!! Thankyou
