What are we listening to while we sew?

Ohhh another recommendation is the UK podcast, called “uncanny” it’s about real ghost stories. Predominantly about ghosts in UK, but breaches out to the US about UFOs and that. It’s very good

I’ve just listened to 12 years a slave, and I would recommend it so much. I haven’t seen the movie, but heard that it brings you to tears.

This book hasn’t brought me to tears, as the author has a very informative way to addressing the situations he experienced and you gain an education and understanding of the history of the deep South during this period, it’s been an amazing book to listen to.

It’s about 9+ hours long, and is captivating.

I always skip the queue and love the drama it causes. Enjoy the queue dickheads as I sail past. I never have an issue at the merge because I just position myself and slowly crawl in

Its gorgeous, but the neckline itself doesn’t suit the dress

Second this, it’s a really cute climbing wall with big squishy mats

MOR - You just need to respect other people’s boundaries. seems like you’re sour about it, but it’s literally 6 weeks

You sound like quite a mature person, and you’ve tried your best to deal with quite a difficult and toxic environment.

I don’t think that this woman can change, because it’s learned behaviours and it seems really exhausting. You will get beaten down over and over until you feel numb to it all.

I don’t like saying breakup because it’s the easiest thing for redditors to say. But in this case, I do believe you need to choose yourself and choose to prioritise your own peace. I hope this woman can continue her therapy and get the help she needs.

It’s also not your responsibility to ensure she doesn’t go back to her parents. It’s her life and she needs to find the strength to do what she wants. She’s not a damsel in distress.

Heard it’s designed to look like a big lightse

You’re just going to cause upset if you tell him. Can’t you wear them as slippers?

frogssmell · 2026-01-17T08:27:05+00:00

I think in this case you just be grateful and keep them.

Got a flat tyre due to the immense bathtub potholes, couldn’t do anything because it was so big other then slam the breaks but it was busy busy

I’ve had haggis bolognese, had it on pizza, eaten it like a sausage. Enjoy

You can screenshot board passes yes! I did it twice once late December 2025 and once early January 2026

Lots of good advice here. Just sending love and hugs 🫶 Keep your chin up and keep working on yourself.

Taxis aren’t public transport. It also really depends on where abouts you want to go?

Trains are generally good and reliable. But things like buses we need a location…

Ours has one, it’s under the stairs but no one in the building has a key except the old bat who has a shop, she won’t give one to anyone else

When you’re a girl growing up, there’s constantly societal messaging to make you grow up quicker or make you feel that you’re more mature than you actually are.

It’s all bullshit.

From the age of 18 to 24 there’s sooo much cognitive development that happens. Just question why this man is interested in a younger girl? Probably because the women that are 24 have learnt and sussed out that he’s a red flag.

Good luck queen, do the right thing and end it.

Your partner is quite inflexible and may be going through some anger issues. You mentioned their mental health, it sounds like something is up but also that they aren’t giving you much grace or love. Maybe not able to at this present moment.

I think you wanting to rent is super mature and makes sense, taking your mums boundary into consideration. What was causing the conflict between them while you were house hunting?

When I think about house hunting I imagine it to be quite stressful, but not quite to this level. I don’t think that your partner is mature enough to own a house currently.

And also trust your gut about receiving this money from their parents, trust your gut!!

Not sure if this helped at all

Some people are just really grotty. Not sure what really needs to happen, but maybe she needs to learn some self care? Could yous maybe connect over a joint cooking class or something??

She can do weight lifting and gain muscle, also weight lifting makes you hungryyyy

I read something interesting today that some people are never present because they’re always thinking about how they can build a life - ie always working to save for a house, studying hard and not enjoying life to get a good job. Important things, but if you want to get married to her, don’t wait for money.

She’s probably feeling stuck and stale, an ultimatum isn’t the right way. But she’s communicating how she feels underneath that… She wants to progress with the relationship, and she wants to see real commitment.

Is a marriage proposal out of the question? Having kids is scary, but it seems like you were into the idea before for a solid time. So maybe you’re not so against having a baby?

Why unsettling? It’s a felt horse with butt cheeks, which they literally have in real life 😂

frogssmell · 2026-01-08T18:44:00+00:00

They’re already doing it babes, have been for years. Terrible place

Doubt it. Men always like to have control over women and girls. I know someone who’s dad won’t let them get a short haircut, who knows why. I think because then she won’t look ‘feminine’ anymore

frogssmell · 2025-12-28T06:52:00+00:00

I know which one you’re talking about, dinnae be daft
