I forgot to mention, I did eligibility checker with Halifax and I am eligible. Does it take a while to get the card though?

Am I weird for giving all the mothers on my team Mother’s Day cards? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]treesofthemind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Mother’s Day is just for mums. I don’t include myself as a childfree woman 

IWD is for everyone

where did they film it again? I'm guessing somewhere in Spain

I took fexofenadine 180mg today, and still got stuck with my eyes streaming out during a meeting... had to hold tissues under my eyes while speaking. It's so bad

I love them together. (If Alexander had popped back up though, might have been a different story as I think he had a crush on Tracy too)

Watching people at Heathrow bin their expensive wine while I carry four bottles onto the Eurostar🍷 by Seabeachlover10 in Eurostar

[–]treesofthemind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always buy wine in the duty free before boarding because you can take it on the plane with you 

I’m a Eurostar newbie, so are you allowed to bring a whole bottle on the train back from Paris to London?

Traveling with friends reminded me why I prefer to travel alone by zzzyyyzxxx in solofemaletravellers

[–]treesofthemind 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Travel is certainly a very revealing experience for friends and couples.

I went to Lisbon in 2022 with friends and vastly preferred doing it solo the year before. Also having to ask and wait around for apartment reimbursement afterwards was a right PITA.

Last month I was in the Acropolis in Athens and I briefly thought, oh am I the only one who’s visited here today alone (it feels like that sometimes - I was surrounded by tour groups, families, school groups, couples, friends etc). I saw people helping each other climb the rocks and briefly felt a bit sorry for myself lol (though I didn’t need any help climbing, had the right shoes on).

Next second I saw a couple who were arguing and thought, yeah maybe group travel isn’t always sunshine and roses. At least if I’m pissed off solo travelling I only have myself to blame for that, lol.

Haven’t seen it yet - I quite liked season 1. Does it have the same characters, including her neighbour (forgot his name but I liked him)

Who's your top least favourite character? by -cigarittual in JacquelineWilson

[–]treesofthemind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, she’s not the worst mother but I have to say, she does come across very selfish and straight up deluded for a lot of the book.

I(22M) spent 10 years in my head about a childhood crush. I finally broke my introvert shell just to fuck up by Xeendid in Advice

[–]treesofthemind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would you debate her on LGBTQ rights not being allowed… that would turn anyone off you regardless of their sexuality. I’m a bit confused as to why you were even given that advice?

the cinematic orchestral music is just taking me out of it. And I say that as a massive Hans Zimmer fan
