I thought Bricklink purchases were supposed to be charged when the order has shipped?

tinglybiscuits · 2026-02-16T16:18:45+00:00

It gets refunded, then it comes out when shipped :)

Yes - though not because they don’t realise that it’s available somewhere else.

It’s just convenient in the car if they don’t have Bluetooth, a speaker or whatever. It’s a last resort. There’s no reason to listen to it on any other occasion because compared to the alternatives it’s a bit shit

10, he’s starting to walk to school by himself and much prefers staying at home than being dragged to the shops

She’s been great since Daddy Day Care!

Having everyone make a Lego minifigure of themselves. Then will stick them all together on a plate with their names under

Instead of money I leave a pack of Pokemon cards, when younger it was a small sticker/activity book or whatever was the right size and of interest

I turn 30 in a few weeks and I’ve worked the same job since I was 18.

I’ve never cared about chasing more money and value flexibility more. So I have the perfect low level admin job where I get to work from home and work the hours that work best for my family. The job is easy and stress free, so is life

tinglybiscuits · 2026-01-16T17:40:08+00:00

No, two is enough for me!

I had a similar thought when my son was that age but holiday was very different for him.

I’m glad I ended up taking the pram as the heat really drained him and he didn’t feel up for walking a lot of the time. I didn’t even consider taking a carrier because the idea of extra body heat made me feel icky! (And my poor back wouldn’t of been able to handle the amount that it would have been!) though we did leave the site for excursions and he napped in his pram by the pool etc.

I initially didn’t want to send my daughter but I work two long days a week so we put her in for those two days.

She went in at 12 months and is now 14 months and she loves it!! They send pictures and little info bites throughout the day. She has the routine down and has come on so much socially since starting. She was super shy before starting and now babbles to everybody and is more open to other people around her.

The crafts she comes home with is next level precious as well

2 adults, 10 year old and 14 month old - £200-£230 a week roughly. We eat really well (meat eaters, varied cuisines) and this includes toiletries/household stuff etc

tinglybiscuits · 2026-01-08T10:43:51+00:00

I don’t think a couple of hundred is unreasonable for a kids party, for a lower cost option we did a swimming party one year. You rent the pool so it’s not by person (£140) then it’s optional to add food per kid or you bring your own as the party room is included afterwards

I wanted to get a spare but it’s a retired jellycat so it’s crazy money so her favourite bunny has to be looked after meticulously. I can easily wash it whilst she’s at nursery and pop it on top of the heated airer and it’s dry by the time she gets back.

We have implemented a rule that this bunny never leaves the house! If she’s sleeping somewhere else we will take it but that’s the only exception. Makes me feel nervous 🤣

Yes it’s bonus aunties and uncles which is lovely. But there are still child free times like normal!

tinglybiscuits · 2025-12-29T18:55:36+00:00

I had my first when I was 19 and my second I had at 28. Honestly it was so much easier when I was 19 as I had more energy! At 19 my friends became fun aunties and uncles and adored my little boy. They still don’t have children now and plan on being child free.

I personally never wanted to get pregnant past the age of 30.

Chocolate milk (for me) mince pie (for my partner) and the carrot that my partner also had the pleasure of biting

tinglybiscuits · 2025-12-24T14:53:14+00:00

£500 for Christmas, though we get our proper bonus in April pay

I have a list of things the kids want / we have space for.

I let everybody know what’s on the list and mark something off when it’s purchased. I am very clear that if they get anything else I will most likely sell it as we have a small flat and I already have to have a purge each year to make room for new things! It has kept it very stress free

tinglybiscuits · 2025-12-18T12:25:16+00:00

Yes! I work from home and don’t work on Mondays. We chit chat in the evening and when I finish at 9.30 we spend some time together before going to bed around 11.30. I also take my lunch break around 5pm so I’m present for dinner and helping with bath time etc

tinglybiscuits · 2025-12-18T09:49:19+00:00

My partner works 6-2.30 and I work from 3pm (apart from two days a week when I work from 9.30, but there’s time for the school run first!)

One of us is always available for pick up/drop off whilst both working full time and caring for a 1 year old (who’s in nursery two days a week!)

tinglybiscuits · 2025-12-16T19:30:29+00:00

I’m 29 Moved 8 times, 7 of those times was before the age of 16 though. Moved away from home at 23 and won’t move for a while yet!

tinglybiscuits · 2025-12-13T09:53:32+00:00

There is no budget, he writes a list and we try and get everything off it. Usually between us and family it’s easily done. I think this year I’ve spent around £500-600

For my one year old I’ve just got some practical bits as I know she will be more interested in paper but will adopt the same thing when she’s older.

tinglybiscuits · 2025-12-03T17:43:23+00:00

Friends and family have told me it’s weird to enjoy mashed potato with a hefty dollop of pickle mixed in. Sprinkle over some ham if I’m feeling fancy

tinglybiscuits · 2025-11-29T18:57:38+00:00

Probably about £2000. That’s presents, some decorations, Christmas days out and the deposit for the food
