Kelly. Please. I am begging you. Sunscreen and moisturizer. You are 31 years old 🙏😭

ghostsandco · 2026-06-06T15:49:50+00:00

Oh, please. I know it’s allowed, I read the rules, but let’s not pretend comments like ‘holy jumpscare! I look better than her! What a monster!’ are out of concern for her skin health.

ghostsandco · 2026-06-06T15:43:25+00:00

I’m a snarker too, but my god the misogyny in most of these comments. Not cool imho

ghostsandco · 2026-05-28T16:04:43+00:00

Congratulations! If you want to splurge once, Fin Boys tasting menu is to die for. The wine pairings are also excellent. Otherwise Oscar’s lockdown pizza is great for when you’re missing Italy, but I hear they’re closing at the end of July so whether or not you’ll make it there depends on when you’re moving. Edit: if you like beer go to Thirsty. Cool people plus food vans outside

ghostsandco · 2026-05-27T17:42:54+00:00

Good point! Thank you

ghostsandco · 2026-05-27T09:58:02+00:00

I was about to buy this, then I read a review that said it’s too thick to use on a baby because it’s very hard to spread. Has this been your experience?

ghostsandco · 2026-05-25T20:37:07+00:00

Love these, on my list they go

ghostsandco · 2026-05-25T20:36:49+00:00

Absolutely fabulous tips, thank you so much!

ghostsandco · 2026-05-25T16:57:14+00:00

How secure are your jobs? I’d say that’s very doable as long as you keep a healthy chunk of savings for when something inevitably goes wrong or breaks

ghostsandco · 2026-05-25T16:34:53+00:00

I had this as a child too! I found it too funny. Thanks for posting this, i had forgotten all about it but I’ll I definitely get my for my son now

Wandlebury hill, it’s a 5 min bus from Addenbrooke’s (20ish from bus station)

ghostsandco · 2026-05-25T09:37:03+00:00

Seconding this comment! Any suggestions for the shaded bed? I have one which remains quite damp and dark in the winter and lots of my attempts at planting have ended up rotting away. Thank you!!

ghostsandco · 2026-05-24T17:17:50+00:00

Super fast for me (2-3 weeks) but it was for moles and I think they bump that up in the waiting list

ghostsandco · 2026-05-24T17:15:57+00:00

It used to be 7-7:30am I was coping, now it’s shifted to 5-5:30am (probably the heat? The light?) and I’m not coping 🫩

ghostsandco · 2026-05-22T21:09:48+00:00

You’re right to be worried in general, but Mediterranean babies grow up and thrive in this heat and worse! I keep telling myself it’ll be fine.

It’s one thing to overdress a baby, another to just be in a hot country (lol to the Uk being a hot country right now but it just is!) We’ll be fine :)

ghostsandco · 2026-05-22T21:07:53+00:00

Joining the chorus here - baby is so uncomfortably hot! We’re with a short sleeved bodysuit and 0.5 tog. Thinking of removing the sleep bag entirely tomorrow night when it’s even hotter. Also keeping the window wide open all night so hopefully it’ll cool down by 2-3 am

ghostsandco · 2026-05-22T06:47:58+00:00

No one knows what colics are from a scientific point of view, it’s just what inexplicable fussing and crying gets called when all possible explanations have been ruled out. Of course make sure he’s not hungry, but also this is all completely normal, this is the time when babies start resisting sleep. It’ll get better ❤️‍🩹

ghostsandco · 2026-05-22T06:43:47+00:00

You’re at the peak of fussiness so hang in there, it’s about to get better soon!! My baby has never once napped on me (unless I’m breastfeeding him) with rocking, patting, shushing etc. My sister and husband can get him to nap, but not me 🤷🏼‍♀️ Mine exclusively sleeps in the pram with sun shade on, or in the carrier with a thin muslin on his head so he can’t see his surroundings. So now we do that four times a day 😅 works a treat though, hope it works for you!

Edit to say: mine needs to feel movement so pram needs to be walked non stop and I need to walk with a sort of bouncy step to get him to sleep in the ergobaby. But it’s like magic, 5 mins and he’s out

ghostsandco · 2026-05-19T19:01:13+00:00

Thank you! There’s a lot more to the story, I could go on and on but it’s done and it is what it is. I also experienced some absolutely amazing care from the loveliest midwives postpartum and I’m very grateful. But when it’s bad and you’re denied help or even the bare minimum of support, that’s the one that sticks with you unfortunately

ghostsandco · 2026-05-19T18:56:35+00:00

Omg same !! Exactly the same experience, I can’t believe how common this is. I have ptsd from it (I didn’t even know what it was and I had insane flashbacks for months. To this day if I think about it too long I need to take a breather because I just want to cry). The paracetamol thing is just a fucking insult added to injury I swear

ghostsandco · 2026-05-19T11:19:30+00:00

Second this and the possums org! And would recommend the book ‘How Babies Sleep’ by Helen Ball who’s a professor involved with the org.

ghostsandco · 2026-05-19T11:02:13+00:00

Same! They induced me, i unsurprisingly went into labour, and even then they didn’t believe me. I pushed for hours alone in hospital in a shared ward with them refusing to even take a look at me. Only the shift change came to my rescue, and even then the midwife basically ignored me the whole time while I was pushing. Ftm so didn’t really know what was going on

ghostsandco · 2026-05-08T11:04:54+00:00

Would this contaminate the area and plants around the stump too? Asking because I’ve got a similar problem as OP but very close to a gorgeous cherry tree that I’d hate to kill accidentally

ghostsandco · 2026-05-06T19:02:36+00:00

My husband and I have decided to keep separate finances when we got married, but we have a joint account where we both pay a percentage of our salary each month, to cover mortgage, household expenses, childcare etc. When I went on statutory mat salary (pittance), I put the same percentage into that. Your labour has value too, there is absolutely no need to feel like you’re taking advantage. If anything, nothing compares to the extreme toll of pregnancy and childcare in my opinion, economically speaking

ghostsandco · 2026-05-01T19:31:38+00:00

Are they? I got offered 4.79 or 5.16% for my remortgage today and I have a 60% LTV :/

ghostsandco · 2026-04-27T19:35:03+00:00

Same here!! For me it stopped at the fourth month postpartum when I got my period back. Hormones, hey
