I know this sounds odd, but I spent the morning crying at the thought I've leaving the UK.

I'll be spending 3 or 4 months away from the UK as of next Friday, but OMG it feels like I'll be away for a lifetime.

I spent last night with my g/f getting drunk and getting high, and generally having fun while I still can. And she'll be here for the rest of the week. And I shall miss her when I fly out on Friday (PCR test permitting)

I love the UK and the people in it, and I shall miss it come the day when I leave here for good.

I'm an alcoholic, suffer from SAD and smoke weed. And I cry a lot. I think I need to a fresh start,, but it's equally upsetting to having to leave things behind.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm just rambling as usual
It all probably seems very daunting right now because you have your girlfriend over here and practically your whole life too. You very well may love it soon as you go over

Remember us Tattlers are always here for a chat and are here for you. Like someone else said, your second home!

Its a perfectly natural reaction because you are grieving. It is a loss. I felt exactly the same when my sister split with her husband. It felt like a death almost. We didn't even know there were problems so it came as a shock. He'd been part if our family since he was 22. I felt like I'd been dumped.The only saving grace is that it was all amicable and he didn't distance. They have kids so he still gets invited to family do's. Have you contacted her or maybe suggest meeting up, if your tier allows?
Thanks for reply, it was a shock as well which made it worse, we’ve spoke since and I feel better she knows how I feel and she also feels the same, Now I just worry about my brother hoping he will be ok, I really wish I didn’t have overwhelming empathy 😔 xx

Those sound right up my street. Do you take milk in your coffee? I used to have the Tassimo machine and found buying the Americano pods and a seperate milk frother works really well and works out cheaper than buying the latte/cappuccino pods that come with the milk pods.
Oooh thank you! I'll have to have a look!

I wish there was an Aldi near me! The nearest one is about 20 miles away:(
I dont leave near one either. Its miles away! I live near a Lidl but Lidl is rubbish

I feel the same about the little tattle fam I’ve found on various threads, it’s always nice when you find like minded people and find yourselves liking each other’s posts all the time!

have you guys got your Christmas decorations up yet? I had been thinking I’ll do it tomorrow but completely cba still.
Not yet, I usually put mine up around the 14th but I'm tempted to put them up next Sunday now I'm seeing everyone else with them up.

At least you can get the visit to her out of the way early and enjoy the rest of the day with your own family.

I have no idea what we're doing this year, but I've told my husband that I'm NOT going to his mother's for the day. His spoilt sister will be there as well, looking for attention from everyone and turning on the tears if she doesn't get it fast enough.

She's 46 .....
Your sister in law sounds a lot like mine!!!
She’s already had about £800 worth of stuff from their mum in the last couple of months.

shes 40.

Nice 😆 I'm still made up with my coffee machine, got a few Costa pods when I went to Asda even though it's supposed to be a Christmas present
I wanted to see if there were any camera baby monitors in the Black Friday sale but couldn't find any
I don’t need a baby monitor as my 4 week old is loud enough without one 😜

which coffee machine did you get? We used to have an espresso but my OH sold it and bought a dolce gusto which is good. I do miss some of them nespresso flavours though.

I hate Fridays, its always my busiest day as I work with numpties who save up problems all week then send them to me on Fridays to sort out. (usually at 4 o'clock) :mad:

I am determined to do NOTHING this weekend; my plan is PJs, sofa, remote control and nothing much else

I did spend a small fortune on a candle from the White Company but got 20% off. Merry Christmas to me 🎄🎅

Is he your first baby? That’s so tough. I have a 5 year old as well as a 5 week old so I knew what to expect but it’s still tough not being able to plan things and it did feel like there was less support during pregnancy. The school run is quite handy for giving my day some structure though I don’t appreciate the early starts on no sleep 😂 I’ve booked a baby class starting in Jan so hopefully that will go ahead 🤞🏻
Yeah he is! I've booked a baby class for January too! God I hope it goes ahead. He's so shy. He is a little cling on with me 🤣 I try and go for a walk with him everyday but it'll be nice to do something different with him and get him socialising with other babies

Yeah but me and my fella are a pair of fucking idiots and didn't realise you get the espresso and milk pods separate so we made it and was like 'wtf where is the milk!?' Neither of us realised the milk pods were in the box, so we just added our own milk 🤣 so I googled it went and checked and seen the milk pods 🤣 so we're gonna try them again in a bit so we're not off our heads on coffee
Haaaa thats funny, don’t know why I’m laughing it’s sounds like the sort of thing I’d do!

So much for heading off to South Africa next month

Fuckity Fuck Fuck :mad:

White wine drinkers, can you recommend a nice white to me please? Budget around £10-£15.

I need to get a bottle for a friend of mine for Christmas and she only drinks white. Problem is I only drink red, so don't have a clue what to go for. I know Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are probably the most popular, but don't know if there's an preferred brand?

She's quite easy going so I'm sure she'll be happy enough anyway, but would love to hear any recommendations that anyone might have :)

Send Abi a message ;)

Haha no seriously. This is really nice, https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/the-ned-pinot-grigio-37169

Can't go wrong with a nice Gavi either, which you can get most places. M&S Gavi is lovely.
Not sure if she likes Rosé but this is delicious too https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/silver-ghost-rose-8294

I want one, but I’m a bit anal with things on the worktops so I’d probably shove it in a cupboard and forget about it, my hubs thinks I’m mad! have you tried it yet?

Oh I love a general chit chat thread!
I’ve been doing housework all day and I’ve even started on the upstairs yet but I did clean my oven and do a 6.5k run! I’ve got to go and pick the other child up in an hour too so there’s no point in trying to start upstairs!

I did get a bargain in the Black Friday sales for my daughter for Christmas though. One present to tick off. I just don’t know what to get my kids for Christmas it’s stressing me

I wish I could start a thread but still new so cant, My brother split with his fiancé they have been together for 15years and have kids, My sister in law is like a sister to me we are so close, it was her that left my brother (I understand why as he wasn’t the best at putting her first) and now with someone new within a matter of weeks, she is distancing herself from me and I feel really hurt (I know I sound weird and selfish) it’s like I’m grieving but can’t explain 😔
