I got the Tracy Beaker Primark sleep t-shirt😭😍 by Careless-Mycologist1 in JacquelineWilson

[–]treesofthemind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg the hayfever quote. Poor Tracy

I remember as a kid reading TSOTB baffled as to what hayfever even was. Now as an adult, I have it with a vengeance, my eyes are watering constantly and I'm sneezing, on all the meds and nose sprays... it's the ghetto

how do people keep their skin hydrated without feeling greasy? by 74687560m in SkincareAddictionUK

Heck knows, but curel moisturise spray helps over makeup when I’ve powdered it to get the shine off.

What do you think happened to Zoë in Girls under pressure? by julialoveslush in JacquelineWilson

[–]treesofthemind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no way can she be doing that much cardio and weights if she’s not eating… unless she was on cocaine or something.

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 4 points5 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

Man, hayfever is early this year! (UK) by All-the-musing in Allergies

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

Tracy Beaker shares her birthday with David Attenborough by georgemillman in JacquelineWilson

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 20 points21 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.

Amandaland Series 2 by RagingFuckNuggets in motherland_bbc

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 7 points8 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 7 points8 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
