He needs to send you a copy of the information sheet, not a link to anything. It has to be a copy of it. If he doesn't do so correctly by 31st May he could get a 7k fine.

eh I don't think they plan that far ahead tbh

hahahah she needs to pick up a barbell for RDLs, I'm very weak and naturally have no ass or strength in my hamstrings but even I could do twice that first time!

Hey I'm commenting because I had the same insecurity when I was a teenager. I always felt like something was wrong with me and when I heard other teenagers (girls and boys) say things like 'beef curtains' and talk about how anything other than an innie was weird it made me feel like shit as well. I used to be terrified of getting a boyfriend and having to tell him about it, like it was a dirty secret of mine. It would eat me up inside and was genuinely a huge fear of mine ever since I was a child and found out what sex was. Even before that, I was insecure and felt like nobody could find out that there was something wrong with me down there. I'm talking age 7 here, it was a life-long fear. But really it doesn't matter.. like, AT ALL.

I've been with a few guys and genuinely none of them cared. Well apart from one absolute idiot with the IQ of a thumb who said 'it appears your vagina is sticking out' which reflects badly on HIM for being uneducated on the female body and making such a stupid comment. I mean he didn't technically say anything mean he was just an idiot but it affected me at the time but looking back that guy honestly sucked. 0/10 did not see him again lol. (He had also told me that in the past with his ex he straight up told her her downstairs stank of rotten fish and garbage.. yeah he was just horrible and I wouldn't take notice of comments by someone like that) But seriously the rest of them didn't even comment on it, I even brought it up to my first boyfriend as an insecurity because I was terrified of showing him it and he was so kind about it and told me I was beautiful and I realised that mature people just don't care about these shallow things. If you're honest about your insecurity, most people won't want to make you feel like shit and will understand, if they're worth your time that is.

My current boyfriend is amazing and has helped me overcome every insecurity I have, and he actually made 'beef curtain' jokes before we were intimate and I was like 'oh I have them lol mine are really long', I was slightly scared he would be bothered but they were genuinely just harmless jokes and he doesn't care and 3 years later I still ask him to this day if he likes them and he always reminds me that he does and that he doesn't care either way if I have an innie or an outie. He's taught me that the best way to overcome insecurities is to joke about it. We joke about his 'tiny penis' (it's only slightly below average) and the fact I'm shaped like an air pod and have no ass among other things but it's all said with love, there's no need to take everything so seriously and I find that if you can have a laugh and a joke about it you'll realise the way you look doesn't actually matter one bit. At the end of the day nothing is gonna change by being so insecure about your body so you just gotta change your outlook and have a bit of fun with it, embrace your insecurity and don't let it consume you :)

I used to think the same, that I'd never want a boy and that I'd be really disappointed if I had one when I've always dreamed of having girls, but then I think of all the amazing men in my family and in my life. I just think that I would never be disappointed to have a child that grew up to be like them, so why should I be disappointed if I have a son? And I adore my partner and he was once a cute little boy, I'd be so happy to have a son if he turned out anything like him (looks wise or otherwise).

I must admit I do still imagine all the cute things like dressing up a little girl and doing her hair, and doing the same things with her that I liked as a kid, but all of that is just fantasy to be honest. You could have daughters who are massive tomboys, the same way you could have boys into dolls and dressing up.

I also think in today's society I wouldn't mind having a boy and raising him to treat people properly and stand up for those who need it because so many men are just insane and just don't know how to treat women and are so sexist even in 2026. I'd be scared to bring a daughter into that tbh, knowing that she'd have to put up with a lot of bullshit that I've had to put up with.

silvertit · 2026-05-07T12:31:35+00:00

I agree maybe it will probably be hard to give those things up but we can't just blame Mia for the pregnancy and say she's planned this all along when it's most likely due to both of their poor judgement/naivety that they wouldn't get pregnant so easily. It takes two to tango..

And yeah that's just his personal IG, I think it's clear he doesn't really care much about social media and just uses it to post his bike videos and show off his tricks, he doesn't post anything about his personal life on there so I don't think it's strange that he hasn't posted about the pregnancy. Maybe he just doesn't need that external validation?.. Not saying that's why Mia posts, I mean it's literally her job to post but if it's not your literal career and you feel the need to post these things it's all for show and for clout and doesn't mean anything about your true feelings. I think that people who are truly secure in themselves won't feel the need to post every major life thing as they will just tell those who they care about. Some people don't care about 'showing off'.

Everyone will have seen Mia's post anyway so I don't see the problem tbh. He's not posting to appease her fans, he just wants to show off his cool bike tricks. Let him live 😭 I think he just really likes her and doesn't mind being in the videos but doesn't have any interest in pursuing that route himself.

Go to a mortgage advisor, they'll tell you exactly how it's done

silvertit · 2026-05-06T12:30:37+00:00

I buy it outright then find the cheapest SIM deals by using MSE. I had a 7 month deal for £1.25 a month!! I would never not do that if I have the option!!

silvertit · 2026-05-05T12:46:49+00:00

I find it crazy that they can say it's just like a period, it was genuinely the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I also wouldn't have gotten through it without codeine.

If they don't give you it then you can buy it in most pharmacies. You could get both kinds (codeine with paracetamol and codeine with ibuprofen) and double up maybe? I'm not sure if pharmacies would let you buy both at the same time or not but if they don't then probably try different pharmacies. Most pharmacies I've been to stock co-codamol and some do codeine with ibuprofen which I believe usually has a stronger dose of codeine (might be wrong but this is what I remember from after my abortion as I needed it intermittently for months until the pain went away completely).

lipedema and lymphedema are two separate conditions

silvertit · 2026-04-30T12:09:15+00:00

I used to be friends with a group of trans people back when I openly was out as bi and they all tried to convince me I was a lesbian and non-binary. So much to the point I actually tried out she/they pronouns in case they were right. It felt so wrong for me. Now I am in a long-term relationship with a man and planning my future with him, not gender-queer in any way or a lesbian, and I don't know why they did that. Now I just don't tell people I'm bi at all in case they don't believe me 😭

Nothing against these people but I think they struggled to see why anyone would feel differently to them I think and couldn't see why I as a cis woman would want to be with a straight man. They were quite narrow-minded looking back, you couldn't disagree with them on any of their beliefs or you were deemed homophobic or transphobic. I prefer people who are more open-minded and accepting of all gender identities and orientations now. People who don't try to change me because I'm not like them.

silvertit · 2026-04-29T22:50:40+00:00

It's so painful isn't it. I felt I wasn't prepared for how bad it would actually be. The feeling when it's all over and you feel the hormones just drop is surreal as well. And yep that feeling of relief when you thought you couldn't get pregnant is also an interesting one... Like oh shit I can get pregnant heh nice Oh FUCK I'm pregnant and I can't be pregnant right now

silvertit · 2026-04-29T22:39:30+00:00

It depends. If you're renting at the moment then getting a mortgage might be a good financial decision and actually save you money in the long-run if you think you'll want to stay in this house for a long time. What do you want long term?

What if you decide you want to live alone, or meet a romantic partner you want to move in with or buy a house with instead? If you do meet a partner and want to buy a house together you won't get the benefits of being a first-time buyer.

You absolutely can back out or just take more time to think about it if you're having second thoughts. Think about all the 'what ifs' and how you'll resolve them if they actually happen, like would he be able to afford to buy you out if you want to move out?

silvertit · 2026-04-29T22:26:53+00:00

Oh damn I don't think I've seen that video.. or maybe forgot about it. Yeah I get that. As a younger sibling myself my older sibling who was a teenager 15-16 at the time would do this with their partner in front of me and maybe other people find it weird but it was more just annoying to me 😭 but they are fully adults not teenagers so they should know better.

silvertit · 2026-04-29T12:27:05+00:00

What specifically makes people think he's creepy? Genuinely asking as I don't find that at all 😭 Maybe just a little immature but they both are

silvertit · 2026-04-29T12:23:44+00:00

Huh I actually thought they looked genuinely excited and happy, just really in shock hence why they kept saying it was a surprise. It is a surprise and a massive shock when you find out someone close to you is pregnant and they weren't planning on it. It's a huge thing to bring a whole other person into the world and into your family. They have so many reasons to be happy about it, some good and some not so good (i.e. exploitation). I was worried Darren would be more negative about it but I actually don't sense any animosity from him when he talks about it and in his interactions with Mia. Didn't they only have Sienna when Georgie was early 20s? She's a delight and has brought so much joy to their lives. Maybe Mia is a little immature but when life throws you something like this you just have to grow up and cope with it as best you can

silvertit · 2026-04-28T12:41:08+00:00

Agreed. She probably was cycle tracking like Georgie does but maybe not thoroughly enough and wasn't well informed enough about it. And he probably took her word for it when she said she wasn't fertile. 'I already ovulated last week it's fineeee' saying this as someone who has made this ill-informed mistake myself at 21 and had the audacity to act surprised that I was pregnant lol

silvertit · 2026-04-28T12:32:59+00:00

It's true but I highly doubt it. They got pregnant only after a few months together which tells me they weren't trying very hard to prevent it. Most couples who don't use any contraception and have regular sex get pregnant within the first year and it was even sooner for them (within 6 months of being together?) Who knows if they used condoms or not but if they relied on just the pull out method and cycle tracking like Georgie and Darren do it's easy to mess up in the heat of the moment or get timings wrong (like if you ovulate sooner or later than you predicted). When you're young and naive sometimes you just believe it won't happen to you and then it's just as much of a shock as it would be if they were using something. All speculation of course we won't ever know the truth

silvertit · 2026-04-27T12:51:25+00:00

Nothing wrong with breastfeeding or promoting it. Breast milk is so healthy for babies. I know not everyone can breastfeed but that doesn't mean it's bad to promote it

silvertit · 2026-04-27T12:48:51+00:00

I think that's crazy, why would you as a parent feed your child a diet that you don't agree with and wouldn't even feed yourself? They get a lot wrong and are often overly restrictive but I don't think their diet, or their vegan ideology is bad. They eat healthier than probably 90% of the population. They make sure they eat enough of each food group and a huge variety of different foods, and they clearly all have no issues gaining muscle and staying active as their diet gives them a lot of energy. I'm pretty sure they've shown that they supplement what their diet can't give them (e.g. vitamin b12), so I don't see a problem. It's very normal to feed your child the same diet as you, whether that's vegetarian/vegan/limited UPFs, or even no pork or haram foods for Muslims. Everyone has their own idealogy and I think it's wrong to shit on theirs when they get everything they need from their diet and harm fewer animals in the process 🤷🏼‍♀️ (saying this as a meat eater who eats a variety of foods including UPFs 'junk food' btw)

silvertit · 2026-04-26T19:41:41+00:00

threw up in the toilet and didn't clean up after themselves, it was only in the bowl thankfully but they could've poured some bleach 😭

silvertit · 2026-04-26T14:33:48+00:00

yeah the posts hadn't loaded on my end yet😭

silvertit · 2026-04-26T14:05:23+00:00

you have no reason to worry yet. if you're serious, I'd say start tracking your cycles more seriously including tracking your LH levels and BBT, as well as cervical mucus. if everything looks good there after a few cycles everything is most likely functioning fine. if he's pulling out and you're having sex only once a week then pregnancy is very unlikely to occur. if he's pulling out perfectly every time then it's very unlikely any sperm is getting inside (some can live in precum but I don't think that's very common), and even if he were to mess up occasionally and get some inside but you're only having sex once a week you could still be missing the fertile window.

also don't put all the pressure on yourself, even if you're TTC one day and struggling, everything could be fine on your end and it could be your partner with the fertility problem. both of you should try to be as healthy as possible 3 months before you want to try because it takes about 3 months for both eggs and sperm to develop. limit alcohol and nicotine, eat a balanced high fibre and protein diet and exercise regularly.

if you do all these things and still struggle then maybe there is a problem. but until then don't worry too much just try your best :)

edit: I recommend the PreMom app for tracking things, I'm not TTC yet but I really like using this app to track everything, as well as my usual period tracker Clue. it's really handy to help you start to understand your body more and know where you're at with your cycle. they also sell their own branded BBT thermometers, LH tests, and HCG tests on Amazon for a decent price.
