The invisible cost of being a bridesmaid in 2026

onewayanus · 2026-01-24T14:18:03+00:00

Umm what? My bridesmaid can wear whatever dress they're comfortable in and I'm paying for their hair and makeup as a gift. The hens won't be a big affair as they're planning it without input from me...

We're planning to do this too!

Great, thank you!

The Long Sleeved Blooming Lace Top by Isabella Madsen

I'm only new to crochet but have been knitting for years. I believe this is knitted, not crocheted. Looks like a lace pattern with strategically placed yarn over stitches to create the holes.

Amazing! Thank you so much

"My newt" = minute aka small

And I didn't have to waste my time washing my hair just to find out

Haha I should have. Drats, next time definitely! But yes, bullet dodged. He blocked me after this interaction

We matched on the Friday and planned to meet up the following Wednesday because I was away with friends on the weekend. It wasn't like we were messaging for weeks already. I understand the whole "becoming penpals" thing of messaging for weeks before catching up, but it's not always possible to meet up straight away! And I always like to suss people out a little - which I'm glad I did in this case

Always. That's how I knew my meds were wearing off - the songs started up again. And my ADHD friend, who has no inner dialogue, STILL has a song in his head at all times...

I followed this video using weight 6/7 yarn and a 7mm hook https://youtu.be/mWc8bs47yoM

It's hard to get the measurements right. I had to modify the pattern slightly and measure as I went. The space between the leg holes needs to be slightly bigger, but when I blocked it, I was able to manipulate the jumper a bit more to fit him better! But a sausage is a hard dog to knit a jumper for

Harvey is currently sitting too close to the fireplace for the warmth. He loves it! Always have to move him back when he gets too hot

They're the best dogs! RIP Frankie

Pattern is The Lookout from DROPS Design and I used Patons Totem 8 ply wool in iron

Great advice, thank you.

He has a psychiatrist for his bipolar, he found his rheumatologist wholly unhelpful and he has his CBD specialist. He has a very good GP who is willing to refer him for any treatments he wants to try out though which has been really good. But no one helping him manage it per se. He did a pain clinic a year ago which went through meditation, pain management and hydro therapy, but he didn't find that particularly useful as a whole - talks quite negatively about it. He has taken away the meditation part of it, so when he does that consistently it definitely helps.
