I've had Fanta cake before, it was surprisingly nice if a bit too sugary.

So it does. Thanks for that...

Ha ha, thanks, that's a favourite word of mine & The Mr's :D - I've actually been lucky, they've mostly been pretty sane, but ya know, there's the occasional one where circumstances have gotten on top of her. It's more usually the mother of the bride who is the demented one.

Oh yeah, if you've only seen bad make up from the locals then you're better off doing it yourself. I've seen badly done, allegedly professional, make up done and it's WAY worse than self-done would have been.

As a wedding photographer I cannot recommend highly enough getting a professional to do your make up. But, if you really want to do it yourself then as others have said allow LOTS of time. Typically when I'm photographing the prep stage of things the make up part takes a good 2 hours (for bride + 1 or 2 maids). If…

No meeting is ever not a waste of time. Even so called productive ones have moments when you're like "why am I here?" or "will he stop introducing the agenda, there's only 3 of us here, we all KNOW the fucking agenda, just get on with the part where I get to put in my 2 cents only to be ignored".

I have never used Gchat either, but I still voted for that because there are basically no scenarios in which I will read an email that has been reply all'd.

I told my boss last week that only people who are dicks reply all... this came up because he was confused as to why I hadn't read an email that he had sent to me by including me in a reply all. I wasn't part of the original conversation and when I opened it I saw "Hi [some other person's name, blah de blah boring work…

I would be all over this if it (or something like it) was anywhere near where I lived.

Ugh, my internet at work keeps flaking out. How am I supposed to procrastinate sans internets???!!!

That sounds awful :( I hope you've got a good supportive (and vaccinated) friend network keeping you above water!

You're 100% right to be irritated. Actually given the gravity of your situation you should be telling your step mum (& any similar crackpots) that she's not allowed to visit you because you're immunocompromised and people that aren't vaccinated could very well kill you with just their presence alone. Are you on…

Wow the hiding in a cupboard thing is very Prudely hilarious! I was not that bad, so perhaps that's how come he's managed to wear me down. Sometimes I wonder if we've gone too far the other way now. Like, him barging in to the bathroom and happily chatting away while I wee is one thing, but he'll also do that while…

I was the uncomfortable about talking about poop person in our house. He was open about farting from day one, and only 2 months in to our relationship had farted on my foot (I put them under his bum to warm up while snuggling on the sofa so probably should have seen that one coming).

I've had Lasik. Best money I ever spent. I've never had a glasses prescription that made things so sharp and clear like the Lasik did. I walked around for the first couple of weeks saying things like "hey Mr. there's a fence on top of that hill! did you know there was a fence on top of that hill over there?" or "oh my…

My boyfriend is a scream-sneezer as well. It has led to many near accidents. He now waves desperately at me and then points at his nose if he feels one coming (why he can't just stifle it/reduce the volume I don't know) so that I don't stab myself/drive off the road/jump and scream FUCK at him.

My mother is a quiet eater, and we were taught to eat with our mouths shut (well, taught = dad yelled at us "you're not an animal, don't eat like one!!!!") and one night recently after dinner we put out some chocolate. She had like 2 squares, ate them super quietly and then sat loudly sucking the chocolate out of her…

I'm going to name my next cat Superfluous Buckles :D

He sang "Cry Me A River", so while Willy Moon may or may not have sung it at some point (I couldn't find any evidence of that), it's definitely not Willy's song originally.

The best way I found to file evenly was to lay the hand flat on a table top so you can see them all, and don't get too vigorous with your filing, the more your hand moves the more the angles will change and you'll end up with wonky nails. Go gently and just work them bit by bit. Also, as I'm right handed and super…
