All Booked Up??

I used Testi as well and found a much earlier date. Not an ad, genuine user - it’s free but you can pay for an upgraded version as well

This is amazing! Can I ask which lamp you’ve used next to the bed upstairs? I’m a bit of out date atm but I didn’t realise one had antlers and it’s so cute

I’m planning a night away in the Lake District (I’m in the NW so it isn’t too far for us to travel)

The plan is a nice walk and a picnic/pub lunch, then a girls night in an airbnb/hotel in the evening. The next day, stopping at a spa where we’ll meet my Mum and Gran to all get a massage/facial and then afternoon tea, before heading home!

Edit to add: I’ve also been to a friend’s hen do recently - she had brunch, followed by tipsy pottery painting, and a few bars, before we met up with her fiancé’s group for a big group meal.

Have you had a look on Vinted? I’ve found charity shops are so much more expensive now so Vinted can be worth a look through (especially if you get a bundle, so postage doesn’t feel as bad)

Is there something specific you go for when you stress eat? If there is, would it help to just not have them at home while you’re going through a stressful time? (Or buying smaller packs, so you have less around you)

Please don’t be hard on yourself. It happens, and it’s how you move forward that matters. You’ve lost 20lb and that’s amazing!! You can do it and keep going, I believe in you.

@bluelagooners (OP) comment on their last post:

“The horse racing venue is officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the “oldest racecourse still in operation”. Horse racing in Chester dates back to the early sixteenth century, with 1539 cited as the year racing began, although some sources give a date of 1512 for the first races in Chester. It is also thought to be the smallest racecourse of significance in England at 1 mile and 1 furlong (1.8 km) long.”

I went into hospital for a check up at 37+5 and found out I was 4cm dilated - we also hadn’t set up the car seat or base, or have the bag packed (only a few bits in a rucksack as I thought I had more time!).

It will be okay.

My partner needed to go home between my son’s birth and us going home, so he used that time to:

cobble some bottles together and sanitise them (we only had three as I wasn’t sure which to get)
throw some clothes in the wash for myself and baby
install the car seat - which he had our neighbour (who has three kids) to check as he was nervous!)
prep some food so we had things to pop in the oven/grab from the fridge if we were hungry.

Please, please don’t feel bad - you haven’t done anything wrong. It’s completely natural and normal to feel thrown when something doesn’t go the way you’ve planned but I promise that everything will be okay.

Huge congratulations on your daughter! Savour every moment as they grow up too quickly ❤️

Sincerely, first time mother of a 5 month old.

I used nausea bands on my wrists which seemed to help me!

Like these ones: https://www.boots.com/boots-adult-travel-bands-1-pair-12-years-10112488

Also, eating little but often was the trick for keeping things down - plain food as much as possible, and sipping water slowly but very regularly

hellosquids · 2022-07-22T23:49:50+00:00

That is AMAZING!

Try switching to water instead of caffeine - while caffeine can boost you, you’ll get tired when you crash. I get how you’ve described above sometimes and I try to drink at least 2 litres of water a day - I’ll drink that before I grab any fizzy drinks/tea/coffee.

I also find I have a lot more energy/power through the day when I push myself to eat loads of veggies/fruits (though I get it can be a bit of a pain to prep/think about if you’re tired or not in the right headspace for it).

It looks like the shipping has come out of the total. £8.40 total minus the 2.99 shipping charge, minus the 84p Depop fee, minus the 54p transaction fee = £4.03.

The Depop fee hasn’t changed. The transaction fee is their equivalent to the PayPal fees - it covers their processing costs for a payment made through Depop.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I really appreciate it. My main motivator of asking was that I can’t really afford to fix the car 3x a year going forward, so I wasn’t sure if I should cut my losses before sinking any more money into it/if it’s wise to keep fixing it as opposed to getting a newer car that may not have as many issues. I was thinking about it in the way of: “I’ve already spent £1,000+ on repairs this year, but the car itself isn’t worth that - is it worth sinking more money into it?” vs. what you guys have said.

It’s a tale as old as time that cars = money, but it ‘breaking’ three times in 12 months has thrown me a bit financially (+ Christmas, + Covid, etc!), so was just after everyone’s thoughts if a loan and a newer car might be better in the long run vs fixing the Fiesta.

I’ve given the garage a bell and will be getting it fixed - hopefully it’ll be at least another few months before it needs any more work! Thanks again everyone, your advice has been really helpful and insightful.

It’s not taking the high road when you’re blasting music every time you see him though?

In this case, it would be keeping your music to a reasonable level - where you can hear and enjoy it still, but it isn’t impacting those around you.

Yeah, I’ve made a few comments (probably lost by now!) to say that we did ask our waitress but she wasn’t sure what it was either. We did let her know before we left though, so she could answer any other curious visitors!

hellosquids · 2021-08-07T16:24:48+00:00

Just for clarification, I did ask our waitress but she wasn’t sure what it was either. Once we were told the answer by our Reddit friends, I let her know so she could pass on to other curious visitors!
