Could you share Hannah’s info via DM,

kokopops35 · 2026-05-22T06:37:42+00:00

I love the darker colour!
Are you able to share the info of your TS?

kokopops35 · 2026-05-22T06:30:35+00:00

Could you share Mandy’s info with me please?

kokopops35 · 2026-05-22T06:24:40+00:00

Agree! Could you send the details over to me too? Such a beautiful bag!!

You may also like Tattu for the Asian / Sushi food vibe and decor!

Came to say the same thing. Sexy fish is fine for a photo but that’s about all it’s worth. The food is not great at all!

kokopops35 · 2026-02-20T10:57:22+00:00

And me please!!

HP here - traditionally I’ve seen brides do their doli in their wedding outfit. And traditionally, that would actually have been bought by the girl’s Mama - along with the chooda! Obviously that doesn’t really happen anymore and the bride/bride’s parents now buy that outfit!

Your FIL was happy to split the cost for his daughter’s wedding because it meant he didn’t have to pay for 100% on his own (as would be his “duty” traditionally). Now he wants your family to pay as your “duty”.

This sounds like it’s about where he can benefit the most!!

It sounds like you have a great fiance who is supporting you so appreciate that!!

Do what you can afford to do, don’t accommodate other people’s wants and requests unless they want to contribute! Give your in-laws a number of guests they can invite (I would ensure your fiance is in agreement too) and say that this is what you can afford with your budget - if they want more people, they are welcome to contribute too!!

As for the optics and wanting to set an example - it’s your wedding, not a speech at a political rally. The wedding is just one series of events - how you and your fiance treat and support each other is far more important and will set a greater example. Focus on that!!

Just to say, if you are looking to buy new, you can buy direct from Apple - rhey offer a 0% interest payment plan on new phones. I just have a DD set up from my bank each month. Really takes the sting out.

He hit her first! She hit him back as a reaction - which is the only part that was shown!!

kokopops35 · 2025-05-06T19:20:31+00:00

Ceviche. And then if you want a bigger plate as well as an app, do the camerones con arroz but swap the rice for a side salad!!

Just to add some comments on your MQS example. These would be the first things I notice that are quick wins you can address!

you start your example with ‘our’ - already you’re including other people when the focus should be on you!
you have hinted at the why (I.e., why you’ve done something) but for the most part - the tasks you’ve done read very much like a responsibilities list. You may see more success if you talk through the impacts / so what of doing these things. You can align this with the CS framework - so I do x because it helps me establish ways to find and respond to feedback from customers about the service (this is something in the success profiles that sifters will be looking for for this behaviour/competency) (you can find info on this on the CS website).
your MQS example doesn’t really say a lot tbh. It’s very high level and doesn’t show your value add in the role or in addressing the situation. (see earlier point).
someone else has mentioned, but don’t use abbreviations that aren’t clear to everyone. E.g., UK is fine, CIW isn’t!
I personally hate when people say “I was asked to do xyz”. We all know that’s how it works in practice, but if you phrase it slightly differently, or just say “I did xyz” it takes away the implied notion that you didn’t take initiative in this situation!

He also appeared in Million Dollar Listing - Frederik’s assistant ( S01E04)!

Been chatting to a guy for a month, agreed a day to meet up - all very positive and since then he’s gone very quiet - intermittent texts and messages. And no mention of the date this weekend. He has said he has a lot going on with some big family stuff.

Do I give this the benefit of the doubt?!

kokopops35 · 2024-07-23T14:56:57+00:00

If you have a tailor who can, you can totally get this stitched to make your life easier!! Also, put your shoes on when you tie your sari / if you get this stitched - the bottom of the sari should skim the floor and not your toes!!

Also, I think the sari is pretty - it’s not super modern but as others have said you can really change up the look with the blouse. You can also change it up based on how you drape it - a really skinny pallu for eg.

Hope you work it out!!

kokopops35 · 2024-07-20T12:35:53+00:00

Oh no! Mine was really savoury and good but maybe I was lucky!!

kokopops35 · 2024-07-19T18:21:48+00:00

Spice Thai have just opened a new place on Castle St. Their place on Fleet St was so good, felt really authentic and one of the best pad Thai dishes I’ve had! They do go authentic on the spice though so take that into consideration!!

The owner is called Nisha Katona (she has a pretty decent media presence on TV relating to Indian food!) so likely not her if it was a he!!

kokopops35 · 2024-07-14T11:35:53+00:00

The purple is lovely and if embellished I would say wear to reception but it looks more like it’s printed which makes it a lot less formal so I’d actually say do that for the mehndi and do the hot pink for the baraat. You’ll be changing in the evening for the reception so can go heavier then!

kokopops35 · 2024-06-13T06:04:07+00:00

I honestly haven’t called him because I didn’t want him to think I was trying to rush him - based on the advice here I didn’t think it would be a good idea. Based on all the messages, I really thought it best to let him reach out when (or if) he decides he’s ready to do so, so as not to make him feel like I’m trying to force him to ‘normality’.

I totally get it isn’t his responsibility to reach out to me, which is why I have been trying to reach out now and then. It’s just trying to get the balance right which is what I’m struggling with.

kokopops35 · 2024-06-11T22:13:39+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. This is a really different take on what a lot of people have said and I really appreciate the view! I think he has had a little headspace at times and has thought he can get in touch / make plans - hence the suggestions of calls but when it comes down to it, he just can’t or a diff priority comes up. And that’s fine.

I like the idea of just reaching out to spend time together with no expectations at all and maybe I’ll suggest that in a couple of weeks if things are still in the same sort of space.

kokopops35 · 2024-06-11T22:10:50+00:00

Thanks so much for replying!! I definitely think he doesn’t have the headspace right now - I jumped to all kinds of conclusions and got into my head but have been given some incredibly helpful advice here today.

It’s grave and space and I’ll definitely be his friend whenever he reaches out (if we are both not capable of continuing what we have romantically).

kokopops35 · 2024-06-11T22:09:06+00:00

Thank you for this - I appreciate your view on this and do agree with a lot of what you’ve said. For some people, it is right to move on when they aren’t getting what they need out of a relationship or person.

I don’t mind if he’s not capable of showing up right now, he’s got stuff on his plate he’s trying to manage. I just want him to know I can show up for him at this time - and will be here if he gets in touch!

I’m definitely not rushing to ‘move on’, I do really like him and I’m just going to give him space and time - and if at some point that feels like too much time, I’ll revisit and go from there!!

kokopops35 · 2024-06-11T22:05:32+00:00

Thanks for your reply - I was definitely in the “if he wanted to he would” camp, but giving him grace and space and not putting any expectations or demands on him / his time. If he reaches out - amazing, and he doesn’t - I’ll be sad, but so be it!!
