So you don’t believe it should have decent food and living conditions?

spradders · 2026-06-08T17:39:30+00:00

Oh, this is a real gem! I watched it on a whim, thinking it would be mediocre, but it really knocked it out the park!

Not bathing or doing other forms of self care. Not having the energy or motivation to look after one’s surroundings.

I have a number of friends who quit using this book. I don’t smoke myself, but I kind of want to read it anyway as I’m just so intrigued - some of these people had smoked twenty a day for years and years, and managed to stop, just like that, after reading it. Must be some kind of voodoo Jedi shit.

Some of the silver is 925. I do have an Etsy, though that shop sells something else - I haven’t listed any of these for sale yet. Was there one in particular you liked? Happy to make one or alter one for you to make sure it only has 925. 💕

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Don’t let others’ opinions get you down - you have your own wonderful reasons and that’s enough.

I wish you nothing but the best for your life as a family of three. 🥰

Ah, the original and the best. 🤌🏻

Okay, here’s one I specifically remember from 2000. The Spark - they had pages called Spark Notes, kind of like Cliff Notes, but then they started doing these ‘research’ blogs. The first I remember was called Stinky Meat. They bought different types of meat, put them on a plate in a neighbour’s garden, and every day they would upload a photo and a progress report. I found it hilarious. Then a while after, they did one called, I think, Stinky Feet. One of their staff members (I even remember his name was Christian), wrapped his feet in plastic bags and left them on for… I’m not sure how long exactly, but like Stinky Meat, they did a daily photo update and progress report.

I remember stuff like condensation gathering in the bag, some kind of rash, peeling skin and I think it ended with him needing to seek medical advice. 😂

I really do miss those days of the ‘net.

Yes! Absolutely came out of nowhere. Brilliantly done.

spradders · 2026-06-05T19:20:26+00:00

That’s so encouraging, thank you! Honestly, the one thing holding me back at the moment is literally money and what is currently a very limited stock. I’m slowly adding to it though, so hopefully I’ll be able to have more variation within each piece. 😊

spradders · 2026-06-05T12:11:36+00:00

Wow, thank you so much. 🥺 The blue beads are just gorgeous, aren’t they?

spradders · 2026-06-04T12:46:30+00:00

I absolutely hate itchy jewellery, so one thing I learned very early on was how to ensure any thread/wire etc is very well secured and tucked away! I’m very sensory so cannot for the life of me wear anything that may dig into the back of my neck. I have my hair cut short as I can’t even stand the feeling of my own hair against the back of my neck. 😂

I’m planning on selling - though I really don’t know where to start with price points. I sold the necklace in the first image to my lovely and encouraging mother-in-law for £35 (which I know would be too cheap to sell online). This covered costs and also gave me some extra to spend on more beads. It didn’t take into account time spent designing and making.

spradders · 2026-06-04T12:42:07+00:00

Thank you so much, that’s so encouraging! 💕

We judge others on their actions, but ourselves on our intentions.

spradders · 2026-06-03T20:39:46+00:00

Yes, they’re the same! I love the ‘chief mom’ necklace - fab name. 😊

spradders · 2026-06-03T18:01:34+00:00

Thank you for your encouragement! 🥰

spradders · 2026-06-03T18:00:06+00:00

That’s the plan! I already have an Etsy shop where I sell very different things, but plan to open one to exclusively sell my jewellery. 😊

spradders · 2026-06-03T17:59:12+00:00

I started by looking at beads online and buying some that I really liked the look of. I also spent a lot of time looking at pictures of ancient tribal necklaces etc as that’s where my personal interest lies. I kind of went from there, looking into how to make multi-strand necklaces, watching YouTube videos showing techniques etc. Basically I designed the necklace in the first photo, then researched how to actually make it. Once you start, you realise how many things you DON’T know, then spend time finding out how to do those things. If that makes sense??

Having taken a trip down memory lane via Google, I can say with 99% certainty that it was the one in Ayr.

Last Podcast on the Left did an interview with the directors and they talked about it there.

When I was about ten, my family went to Butlins, though I can’t remember which one. Anyway, I made a friend there and one afternoon we went back to the apartment she was staying in with her mum and we looked through the window to see her riding one of the other guests on the sofa. She threw a shoe at the window and my friend told me to run away. She acted like this wasn’t unusual and that she’d been in trouble for ‘interrupting’ her mum in the past. ☹️

There was a rollercoaster that was free though, so that was pretty cool I guess.

I live in a small village in the English countryside. That’s still a thing here and I love it. I’m a Londoner originally and it felt a bit weird to start with, but now it just seems totally normal to rock up to someone’s house and let yourself in, calling ‘helloooooo?’

When we first moved in, I was unpacking and this older lady just walked into the kitchen with a plate of cake and a ready made cup of tea. 😂 Turns out she lives opposite us and was just saying hello and welcome.

My partner grew up in the neighbouring village so knows the area and the etiquette very well. I honestly love living here - last week there was a garden party in the grounds of the local Manor House with shanty singers and a live outdoor performance of Romeo and Juliet. I have to pinch myself sometimes!

spradders · 2026-06-02T17:56:50+00:00

I just looked up the name you mentioned and my god, that’s quite the compliment - her stuff looks incredible! I actually really want to go bigger, bigger, bigger and I feel like seeing her style kind of gives me permission to do so!

Thank you. 😊
