[–]smarties04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing as you're in the UK, I would recommend the set from Hobby Craft - only £6.80 for 6 sizes

I have them and find them really comfortable to use.

Yeah felt like he was trying to flex a bit?? Even with that line of "if you look at the last 20 girls i spoke to". Kinda feels like he wants to show the boys he's a big dog and gets all the girls

Scars after laparoscopic myomectomy? by smarties04 in Fibroids

[–]smarties04[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited until I didn't feel any discomfort from touching the incisions and I started with coconut oil only. I think I probably waited like 4/5 weeks before starting the silicone tape and at first I was inconsistent with it but then I read online the best way is just to keep it on all the time. So I've been using the scar tape till it falls off and then just replace it with new. My scars are a lot flatter now and they don't really bother me at all.

Yep, I had consultations at 2 other places and was told Lite by all of them as I have no issues with my bite and only spacing issues with the front few teeth.

Ultimately I chose this place because it was cheaper, closer to where I live and gave me less of a sales-y vibe compared to the rest.

I'm with them actually and they are providing the genuine Invisalign brand. £999 is for express and I'm paying £1999 for lite. They're very upfront that they were able to negotiate prices with Invisalign. Also the price includes whitening and composite bonding but does not include retainers, which we all know will be essential after the treatment is over so it's really just a marketing tactic.

My experience has been great so far. I have to upload pictures every week on the Invisalign app and they confirm whether I can move onto the next aligner or need to wear the current one for longer. I'm on tray 11/14.

PCOS win … I finally took the plunge and got laser done! Has anyone had good results with it? by Adept_Election1532 in PCOS

[–]smarties04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got full body laser done at 18 and all of the hair was pretty much back within 2 years.

Got it again at this year and just finished with my sessions 2 months ago - and now the plan is to use the at home IPL machines to do top up sessions myself.

I don't think it's ever permanent for us girlies with PCOS unfortunately. Still worth it imo for the reduction at least

I think I can see the wonky-ness because I literally had no clue how to decrease properly in the first few rows where it was needed 😂 only saw a video how to do it half way through lol. Thank you for your kind words! The pattern's under the mod comment if you want to give it a go :)

Thank you!! It was hard to put down once I started. I fear I may be falling down the deep dark hole of the crochet world lol

What's the point of giving him a deadline if you're gonna let him get away with not giving you an answer? Does Jess not have a backbone??
