What’s acceptable to use as a parcel for vinted?

New to vinted and have sold an item that’s literally £4. I don’t have parcel bags and to buy them it’s like £3! So there’s really no point. Can I use a plastic shopping bag (clean) and wrap it up like a parcel in that or is that not acceptable?

I have read that if you don't post your items in boxes and the buyers dispute for some reason, vinted won't side with you. Do you have Amazon boxes, postage letter boxes saved somewhere? I normally put tems in al plastic bag inside the box and take careful photos especially if your items cost more than 20 for example.

I’ve used shopping bags too- especially for bundles of stuff that are too big for the postage bags that I do have, never had a problem.

I've had one come in a double layered bin bag and was fine with that I've had others come in old Amazon boxes and even a cereal box and didn't care if it's all you got on hand that's fine by me! I have seen people send things in old food wrappers and that I would be annoyed about 😂

I buy parcel bags from Amazon. They’re super cheap! I just think it look nicer personally.
But I’ve received parcels in old parcel bags being re used, carrier back and black bin bags.
As long as the parcel doesn’t get damaged, I’m not bothered ☺️

I reuse parcel wrapping I’ve had from online shopping. Often when I’ve bought things on Vinted it’s been a bag for life or taped up bin bag!

I buy parcel bags off Amazon, I get Im buying second hand but it annoys me when I receive something in a bin bag that a sheet of paper is thicker than

As long as it is packed appropriately there shouldn't be any problem. If it arrives damaged then they'll look at whether or not it was packed appropriately & to meet the nature of the item.

I've used bags for life and even bin bags before, just make sure to use lots of parcel tape so it's secure.
I mostly recycle parcel packaging though.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
