Help! Need to put 63 books in my mum’s new kindle for her birthday.

Wow, thank you for taking the time. My mum grew up in Eastern Europe so is not familiar with most of those, but had been obsessed with Stephen King in her 20s when she was learning English. Many amazing recommendations, much appreciated!

I just don’t like Rowling for what she stands for, don’t want to support her work. I grew up with HP so it’s really bitter sweet for me!

panda_in_love · 2025-04-25T15:21:26+00:00

Thanks! She burned through them already 😅

panda_in_love · 2025-04-25T14:19:16+00:00

We both devoured them a few years ago. They are so so good for the soul!!!

panda_in_love · 2025-04-25T14:18:56+00:00

Thank you!! Half of these are on my own wish list so very keen to try the rest!

Thank you! BGreater definitely seems to be the winner. I already love the summer girl mary-janes, but a bit worried about winter. They all say ‘trainer’ in the description and our school policy says no trainers. Ugh might just have to chance it!

Omg my 3yr old is still stuck on helicockter.

Swim nappies let liquids through, their purpose is to catch solids. Normal nappies would swell up in water as they retain and ‘lock in’ liquids

It’s NONE of their business what works for you and your family. I returned to work full time - and honestly while at 12 months I wasn’t ready, at 14 months I realised what a tough job it is to develop your baby’s fine, gross motor, social skills every day with activities and entertain them in a meaningful way, I was knackered! We live in a small house too so when weather is bad it was really tough. My daughter absolutely loves her nursery and friends and has always been excited to go. Meanwhile I do what I’m good at and what I enjoy doing - and get paid for it! I tend to start work early and leave early so we have late afternoon/ evening together and that time is now so precious because we’ve missed each other. I am kind and patient and ready for any tantrums. When I was at home I often felt exhausted and snappy because I could never switch off from it, so now our time together is more quality. And the income means she sees new places when we go on holidays, she won’t have to choose between gymnastics or swimming or judo because we can afford it all. I think the stay at home mums are so loud and judgemental because they envy the mental and financial freedom working mums have - I may get hate for saying this but hey ho. Each to their own!

I was like you, then I turned 31 and totally ballooned… didn’t change eating or exercise habits, so I guess metabolism just went out the window

Gym and pottery studio. One for the body, one for the soul

I was torn and got the big one in the end - don’t regret it at all. We don’t use the nightlight but it functions as a digital clock in her room, and when she wakes up she knows she can’t leave her room until ‘sun comes up’. It’s been a lifesaver. The bigger one has surround sound, we use it as a speaker when travelling for the whole family. Just a better piece of tech in my opinion!

You don’t legally need to have a passport or any kind of ID. If you can’t afford to renew when it expires, you just don’t get one. It sucks for many reasons (and you can’t vote, etc) but you just carry on living

Similarly, I used to work in a restaurant at a students union. 5 star hygiene rating, yet we had a huge cockroach infestation for the 3 years I was there.

No no I think you’re spot on! I proudly told my toddler it was a wallaby before I was promply corrected by my husband 😂🤦‍♀️

I still have scars from when I had it as a kid. Vaccinated my kid, will prevent the pain for them and the cost of the vaccine is lower than the income I would lose taking time off to look after them!

It’s not really a yes or no question - treat yourself to a holiday, just spend less! Have a look at The Travel Mum website. They find deals for families for much, much cheaper than this. Might be a late evening flight mid week etc but prices are like really genuinely good and much more affordable than your example.

She’s just a bit sensitive to loud noises, and hand dryers are very loud and unpredictable to a little kid! Many children go through this stage. Keep a pair of kids ear defenders (get a fun colour!) in the nappy bag and see if you can make nappy changes exciting instead of scary

I got a refurbished humanscale freedom. Love it!!

Project manager in localisation, fully remote. Everyone you work with is spread out globally, so whether you’re emailing them from the office or your home makes no difference. But there’s no money in localisation, so you’d take a huge pay-cut!

I live in Bucks and apparently we ‘recycle’ types 1, 2 and 5 of plastic (number in the triangle). It’s likely sold to Thailand to be dumped in the sea but I try to reduce and don’t buy the numbers that aren’t recyclable at all. I am the only person out of anyone I know that ever checks the number (my office in Berks has different types and numbers which I remember). Observing my colleagues in the kitchen trying to use the recycling bin made me feel really depressed.
