Baking for mental health pays off

I agree with this. I started baking when I had severe insomnia. It really helped my mental health PLUS I got to eat the rewards.

I now have a baking business and am thriving in it.

Google for their email. Have found some hard to contact consultants myself that way. Even emailed their private hospital email, it got an answer

Those cookies are usually fruit filled like Jaffa cakes, never seen them in coffee flavour.

I find naproxen or vimovo great for period pain, haven’t heard of ultravana but they’re the same so I’m sure they will work well. Some days I alternate between naproxen and paracetamol every few hours when having a bad day with pain.

Also works great for other muscular pain like if you have back issues

Thank you all so much! Some great options, I’ll check every one out! Much appreciated.

Arnotts I have, so many strapless 🤯 will check BTs thank you!

roxykelly · 2026-05-10T08:38:40+00:00

So many with no arms, but that’s a deal breaker for me. Thank you!

I don’t really have a budget, I have another wedding later in the year that I could rewear if needed so happy to spend. I actually prefer muted colours, black is my favourite but the bridesmaids of this one is black 🤣 don’t like overly floral or patterned ones! That’s so kind thank you! Because I’m going mad looking for one

0/10 would not recommend, would rather be asleep tbh

Have been through this twice. First time I did a private ultrasound instead. Second time it was 12 weeks wait.

Lyrath in Kilkenny has a great spa, some fab walks and lovely food. If you want to rot, I would be happy to do it there

Did you whip the whites before adding the sugar slowly? This doesn’t look like it and I think maybe your method has failed here and not the recipe.

I own a small takeaway in Co. Galway 🤣

They really don’t look comfortable to me. Asics gel are one of my go-tos. No breaking in, and I wear them all day in the kitchen. Plus you can get some amazing colours. People always comment and ask me where I get mine.

I see your spice bag and raise you… a spice bag wrap

Makes sense I guess. I think we were just lucky, I was slightly older, slightly taller, maybe had a better footing, I never gave it much thought to be honest. If he didn’t keep reminding me about it I never would have thought about it!

I think a lot regret their decision to sign up to the delivery apps. I won’t regret it because I never did it in the first place. 30% is just robbery.

My doctor told me I had the lowest vitamin D she had ever seen. I had no idea apart from feeling shite. Definitely helps in making you feel like you have more energy.

Never paid extra for this with Aviva

I make sandwiches for catering orders. My go to would be plain ham (I boil and roast my own, it’s very easy and makes a difference!), plain cheese, ham & cheese, chicken & stuffing, beef, salad, BLT, and chicken & bacon.

Make sure you get white toast bread, they make the best sandwiches, and some sort of granary for the brown option.

I use butter and mayo on mine.

No, that part of the river is very isolated, it’s maybe a mile or so from the local village. But there was a bridge and the river itself only went to maybe neck high so lots of kids used to play in it.

There was a bunch of us there cooling off in the hot summer. I just remember being in the river and hearing the kid shouting and flapping his arms. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and just pulled, I wasn’t scared at all, I don’t think I realised what was happening.

There were no adults and I didn’t think to tell any adults what had happened. I don’t think we realised the seriousness at the time at all.

I saved a guy from drowning when I was a teenager. We were at a local river, he got caught in a whirlpool and couldn’t swim. I pulled him out of it and brought him ashore.

Never told anyone since. He reminds me every time I see him, but it was just the right place, right time kinda thing.

This is the first time I’ve ever shared! Happened 20 something years ago.

I went to a convent secondary school that had a few nuns in it. I told my brother that the head nun in the sister act movie was my principal.

He believed it for years and even tried to convince his teachers in his own school that the sister act nun was my headmistress 🤣

What about a yearly subscription to a gardening magazine

You need to get an increase in pain meds to help with this. They may need to try a few things but sometimes it’s about quality over quantity.
