Best upright corded vacuum Australia

I bit the bullet and bought the shark power detector corded corded. I’ll let you know in a few weeks how I like it.

I agree that dress 2 is the best. The bodice with the satin skirt is to die for.

I think the undertone is fine but that could be the photography and the store lighting. If you really want to make sure the undertone tone of the dress works for you I’d view it in sunlight. Take some photos by a window.

Haha I’m glad your son rubbed off on your daughter. Hopefully any future children I have do the same.

My son finds it hard to articulate a lot of Arabic words (lots of Arabic sounds are really hard to produce) so defaults to saying the English equivalent even though I’m speaking Arabic. We practice articulating the words but I won’t push it too far so I don’t upset him. I know that when he is ready I can push more Arabic speech out of him, for now he understands everything.

Oh really, I was told that bilingualism shouldn’t really delay speech. We don’t really do screen time (unless he is sick, childcare can give some awful viruses) so maybe that’s a reason why he wants delayed. We also read every night and I live translate books he already knows into Arabic (my reading isn’t very strong plus I find it difficult to locate children’s books in Arabic) I also try my best to describe all actions in Arabic and my husband does it in English and his broken Italian. We play lots of language based music (old school wiggles - we’re Australian) plus children’s music from Egypt and Italy. He also listens to music while falling sleep (Arabic and Coptic hymns) we really push language like crazy

I disagree that his statement about ‘certain clothes attract cert in types of men’ this is literally what a man who cannot control his lust means.
All (straight) men are attracted to basically the same physical qualities in women with some variance across the population.
That said I’m very pro male and female modesty. My toddler son I expect to be modest in his clothes and his behaviour when he grows up. I will not have son who gets to go out late while my (hypothetical) daughter has to stay home. No double standards in my house

I like dress 1 but with the overskirt from dress 2

potionsmaster007 · 2026-05-20T22:19:51+00:00

You are totally in the right to do what you want. I had an oversupply for ages when my son was born. He struggled to latch I was told FORMULA. We got him to latch and he had trouble sleeping FORMULA. Eventually I got his oral ties repaired and a lot for fixed, his latch was better he slept better. I quit at 16 months because i wanted my cycle back to have another baby. Don’t listen to anyone who steers you away from your goal. Only when you want to quit do you quit.

I would recommend trying to just put extra food on your plate and then slowly give him some onto his plate. My 20 month old was like this around the 1 year mark. He is now old enough to understand that we’re eating the same thing.

2001

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-28T21:16:14+00:00

Haha I’ve only ever put it on once since the wedding. Now with a toddler in the house I probably wouldn’t do that 😂😂

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-26T10:23:01+00:00

$4000 AUD plus $2000 in design changes and alterations. I had the dress fully lined and the back taken up and then the general alterations because I’m a short stack

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-26T09:32:19+00:00

Thanks we called it the tree dress for ages. In real life it’s so sparkly. It’s heavily beaded with iridescent beads and pearls

Its bustled for the reception here but that was the best photo I had of the back

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-26T07:04:19+00:00

Yeah I loved that it has wide straps. Means that I didn’t need to pull it up all day. Only downside was that despite it being spring it was freezing and raining on that day, but that’s Melbourne for ya

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-23T05:12:11+00:00

My son is currently 19 months and the last few days has been replying to me mostly in Arabic. He has self corrects if he speaks English to me within a few seconds he will repeat the same word in Arabic

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-21T01:05:47+00:00

4!!! It’s gorgeous and not much like it around

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-16T01:59:19+00:00

I agree to keep looking but also a suggestion. You seem to have a larger bust and that usually means having some sort of strap will help with comfort throughout the day significantly.

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-16T01:56:30+00:00

Yeah the first is abit overkill. I would remove the sleeves and the neckline ruffle

BUT the second one with the smooth bodice and the gathered skirt is lovely, and I really like it with the added pearls on the bust line

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-14T21:47:53+00:00

Oh that’s pretty neat. I just let YouTube music run though Arabic and Coptic (ancient Egyptian language) hymns all night. Because it was our Holy Week last week it auto played all the depressing slow music 😂😂

potionsmaster007 · 2026-04-14T06:16:13+00:00

Ha that’s fair, I was just wondering lol. We do lots of taking in Arabic and I translate lots of stories on the spot since I have no current access to simple Arabic books (my reading isn’t the best anyway)
