From someone who did walk down the aisle with my dad, it was important to him and to me because we have always been close. I wanted him to walk with me because I love him and he’s guided me through life and we’ve had our ups and downs but he’s still my dad and he inspires huge confidence in me - I’m so glad he was…

Find out what you should be paid then say that’s the salary you want? And when you start your career, talk to someone who knows the industry about what reasonable starting salaries are and put a cap on how low you are willing to go? When I started working I had a minimum I knew I wanted and would bid above that when…

Trump is UK slang for fart.

This! How many people now don’t live together before they are married? I can honestly only think of one person, but she lives in the States and maybe it’s different in the US? Everyone I know who is getting married (including myself) has a) been with their partner for >4 years and b) lived with them for at least 3…

Honestly, I just wear cheap underpants because I like basic bikini briefs haha but for bras, number 1 on the list is MAKE SURE IT FITS. so many women are wearing the wrong bra size - normally the band is too big and the cup is too small (my friend was wearing a band 2 sizes too big and a cup three sizes too small so…

Is this not normal?! If someone close to me ever texts me “I need to talk to you about something”I go into a super panic spiral - hot/cold sweats, prickly skin, shaking, feeling dizzy and sick - because I assume I’ve done something horrid without realising or maybe they have just realised I’m really not worth the…

I buy most stuff either at a) TK Maxx (kind of sells “seconds” of brand name clothes - you can get Levis for £20 instead of £100, and there is one near my house) or b) online, mainly Amazon (oh Prime is so good), eBay or LindyBop (which is like a funky 50s/60s style website). Sometimes I’ll pick something up in Asda…

I live in the arse end of no where. I have to order shit online, or else I am very limited to standard “high street” stores where everything is boring and expensive. So I just measure, and deal with the stuff that doesn’t fit by returning it (most places do collection here, or I can just send it back from work - we…

As far as I know, no. The UK is, for the most part, much less worried about abortions than the US. But there is a bit of a moral fuss around being more restrictive on abortions for women from Indian/Pakistani communities (and by moral fuss I mean excuse for people to be racist fools) because of the potential for the…

Sex selective abortions are definitely still a thing in certain communities in the UK, according to my mum’s friend who is a gynecologist and also of Indian descent and perform abortions (or did, until some idiot American teenager tried to sue her on behalf of dead fetuses and she had to go to court >.>). However,…

This is why my fiance and I have said we just want people to come to the wedding (we live far from most people who are coming) and don’t need anything (although I wanted to register for stupid things, like a trampoline and a snowcone maker...was not allowed *grumblegrumble*). However, ive told my mum that if people…

Not really? BB cream (I use one that has a green undertone to counteract redness) and some mascara. Done. Maybe a bit of chap stick? But then, I don’t do the whole “natural not natural” look that seems to be in with 100 billion products just for contouring. Also my brows are...thick as hell, they don’t need any…

It’s a set piece. It looks like she’s breastfeeding too. I have nothing against women breastfeeding in public (like dude my bikinis show off more boob, you do you), but I can’t help but feel this is being used as some sort of smug political statement thing. It pisses me off more than makes me feel…

I personally don’t find long term relationships hard. I want to be in a relationship with someone. I want to be with my best friend. But then, I get that some people keep their lives almost “separate” from their spouses - separate finances, separate hobbies, don’t see each other as friends - which is fine, but not…

If I had more money, I’d totally wear wigs all the time. I’ve grown out my hair (I had lengths between pixie cut and shaggy bob for years, and now it’s below my shoulders), which I quite like for different awesome hairstyles, but it’s a pain in the ass for certain activities (motorbiking - bloody fringe in my eye,…

Yeah, Cornwall NHS is badly underfunded. Doesn’t help that they have one hospital for the whole region that can do csection/epidural (the rest is done in birthing centres). I think perhaps most people I’ve talked to have been in poorer areas. And the hospital in Truro is well known to be shit. But two of my friends…

That would be hospital in Truro, Cornwall. Where do you live in the UK? Normally the NHS is such a postcode lottery. As I said, I only know four ppl who have told me about their births, but all have sounded horrific and something to avoid. I’ve had great doctors and not so great doctors, so I’m guessing it’s luck of…

Oh, I always forget the US doesn’t have maternity/parental leave. Also, yes, the NHS is great in some ways, but birth does not seem to be one of them. Of the four people I know who have had kids, all four have needed emergency c sections that could have been planned c sections. All four were dismissed early from…

In the UK, you share a ward with other new mums and their babies. You can’t send your baby anywhere. Also, they are super against c sections (even if they would be in the interest of the mother unless you push like mad they make you try naturally, which means that nearly all c sections are emergency ones and much more…

Urgh, but then you have to go to Paris :/ Which smells of wee. Much better to save your money and go to the coast in France instead. Nice is gorgeous, as is Saint Tropez. Maybe they could move it there? See famous picture, go get icecream.
