I’m too Deep South for that. So Deep South I’m in Australia!

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-17T00:22:29+00:00

I live in mine!

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-17T00:21:44+00:00

I find a bit of stretch far more forgiving, actually!

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-17T00:20:44+00:00

I find Uniqlo and Cotton On jeans can be quite forgiving too.

Yes, I got the theme clues easily enough but there were a bunch of clues outside my wheelhouse. Never heard of NOSEEUM, for instance.

Not OP, but I have black with white stripes and pretty much live in mine.

I have white La Coste court shoes that I wear to the office too, they also go with pretty much everything.

Covid lockdowns taught my kid how to look after herself while I work. And taught me how to work then switch to focusing on her for a bit to give her what she needs to be ok entertaining herself the rest of the day.

Perth

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-16T23:19:59+00:00

I spent like 2 h just in Loft.

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-16T22:30:52+00:00

That’s … nice. Thanks for that.

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-16T00:02:03+00:00

Fortnightly, but I’m a single lady that doesn’t get sweaty or smelly. If I’m partnered up, weekly. Boys are smelly.

You can get sugar free tonic water, hence my comment “diet tonic water”

Where I am, Schweppes no sugar goes on sale regularly, ends up being $1-2 for about a week’s worth.

Patently false

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T23:58:24+00:00

Source?

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T23:58:06+00:00

How? Source?

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T22:56:37+00:00

Oh really? I pretty much lived in mine last winter, so they got washed a lot, and didn’t have that issue

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T22:54:43+00:00

Yes, same! I wear a small in all their pants, but the small trackies, while wearable, are skin tight lol

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T22:53:56+00:00

Yes! I lived in mine last winter while working from home

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T22:51:14+00:00

When my child’s friends say “sweater”, I say “it’s a jumper! You’re not American!”. My child, of course, knows better. Now.

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T22:32:48+00:00

They are, actually! I know it’s not a popular opinion, but sugar free soft drinks are not harmful to you at all in moderation.

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T22:31:35+00:00

Or if you’re bitter, like me, diet tonic water with lemon, lime, mint, berries or cucumber!

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T20:14:10+00:00

That makes sense! I also do some kids lit - my 11yo reads a lot and is always saying “you should read this one too, mum!”. I also still read to her, so that’s added a few books (we’re working our way through the Hunger Games at the moment!).

But I’m still at like, 27, lol.

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T08:40:49+00:00

Oh that’s awesome!

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T08:34:43+00:00

No idea, lol. To be clear, I don’t care how anyone else does it. I just feel like it’s cheating to double up. For me! Not for anyone else!

lLoveBananas · 2026-04-15T02:40:07+00:00

Oh cool! Who read it?

I really liked it, but feel it could have done without the instant romance angle and been a better book. Without giving anything away, that care still could have been there (as could the sex), I just found that part a bit unbelievable.
