I tried Tescos gluten free pasta and it was horrid!! I couldn’t even find any branded ones in Tescos just the Tescos own one! I will have to try shopping around to see if I can get that brand or the Waitrose own one! Yeah I think a whole new diet is going to be best option and re learn all different gluten free foods, I’ve been struggling so much to find good good foods and gluten free I just don’t have a clue where to start and what’s gluten free or not! It’s been a struggle! I’m super poorly atm as well because I’ve got some severe vitamin deficiencies as well as some other problems, I’ve only just found all of this out in the same week as finding out I’m coeliac so it’s been a very hard draining week! But glad I’m finally starting to get answers!🤣

yes I have been referred to the dietitian so hoping that appointment comes through soon! I’m struggling because I’m not actually sure what ingredients to look for to avoid obviously some things have a gluten warning but I’m just not 100% what ingredients I need to look for! It definitely is hard at first I just can’t wait till I’m further down the line and I’ve found things and I have more knowledge! And WOW! You’re absolutely beautiful you do not look 42 AT ALL!! I will have a look for some gluten free supplements too! Do you have any recommendations? And oh I had no idea about that so I’ll have to look into that too! Thankyou for your help honestly appreciate it more than you could understand 🥹xx

When we cut the gluten out. There is more space for healthy options now.
You gonna find your way 💕

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.

I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!

Looking for more same age friends!!

Hi! I’m 23 and a stay at home (soon to be) mom. I have been having a tough time finding friends/women in similar circumstances to mine and would love to make some if possible! If you feel the same, let me know

BJ’s

Am I the only one that thinks blowjobs are boring?

My relationship is failing I feel so alone.. I need a girlfriend to talk to :(

I'm a sahm and I feel so stuck... anyone going through the same thing? I could really use someone to relate to and talk through this with. Feeling so vulnerable but if I don't I won't be able to pull myself out of this
