Yeah, def a shout out to the make up range too!
The fake under eye concealer is just as good as the pricey named one, and love their mascaras. They are so bloody cheap for cruelty free products too!

@colouredlines I hate the oft peddled notion that everyone who tries running loves it. I've never liked it, I avoid it at all costs and maintain that it's actually not that great for you.
@Into_the_tunnel have you tried Pilates? Ok it's not quite yoga but it's fantastic for your back and might enable you to do yoga. I've got a book called "Pilates for fragile backs" I've recommended to people but tbh any beginner mat work should help strengthen and stabilise.
I'm very happy to dispense actually asked for advice as a PT if anyone needs any but I'll sit down now!

@MaineCoonMama NikNaks are a lot like Twisties only they come in flavours like BBQ rib, and scampi, not cheese.

I have Richard E Grant and Bob Odenkirk’s books on my wish list at the moment so I’m contemplating buying one of those to cheer myself up. I haven’t read anything from Felicity Cloake but the cover of One More Croissant For The Road looks lovely so that may have to go in my basket too!

I'm currently obsessed with JP Delaney and working my way through his novels - just finished The Perfect Wife.
I'm not normally a Goodwood person, but it was the debut for my friend's dad's electric car so was keeping half an eye on it this year. Delighted that they've managed to knock 2 seconds off the all-time hill climb record today.

@Jay-cloth Cow congratulations! Enjoy the engagement as much as you can amongst the wedding planning, it's such a special time! 
Also a Laura and C&TQ fan over here, my son put me onto both! Trying to convince my husband to come to see Laura with me in Glasgow in August. Currently unsuccessful
Sorry you're feeling rotten dear heart - feel better soon!

Not exactly a fairy tale as such, but Breaking The Surface which is a feminist imagining of the Little Mermaid is really good

Third wave feminism (approx Gen X era) eschewed such things as sewing. We saw our mother's *not* having it all, and turned away from skills, arts and crafts traditionally of women to take on a "man's world" and glass ceilings.

I used to be in the habit of doing this regularly (I think following very clear and simple instructions from Anna Jones in the Guardian) and it was simple and delicious, and made me feel organised, and then one time it just went disastrously wrong resulting in a horrible lingering stench and I felt like an idiot, so have not done it for ages - plus good fresh garlic is one of the things that I've found it difficult to get hold of over the past few years, even the veg bag bulbs seem old and tough?
When will you find out about it?Interview done, thank you everyone for your wise words and kindness, you lovely canal.
You were all there in the interview room, I ~ think ~ it was only me who could see you all. Everyone looks exactly like their avatars!
It's one of those where i really have no idea if it will lead to a second stage interview, i reckon i said 90% good stuff.
Keep doing big 'ahhhhhh' breaths now.
Thank you

Free garmins?! God I'm glad I don't follow any running threads here, I love my garmin but it was expensive as fuck (and I destroyed its battery life on a long-distance hike and had to buy a new one far sooner than anticipated). Influencers getting free ones might lead me to spontaneously combust in this heat.Thank you so much for saying this. When we finally made the decision about Tunnel cat, it was him lying like this that tipped us over. It was though he said “now is the time”. I know I am anthropomorphising horribly here and I hate doing it, but our animals are so precious.
Hoping everyone is holding up. I dipped into the MT, decided it was better over here and on the other threads moaning on about the runners getting free garmins
Stay cool everyone apart from our Aussie friends who need to stay dry and warm.

Loving the abundance of different sheep photos and Grunty!
@Into_the_tunnel about the same at the moment annoyingly. Thank you for asking

I think this might be something I need to consider, it would be great to know (if you feel comfortable sharing) if you find it useful. (Although just looking up my local group and it seems very religiousI think I've written before about losing weight, varying success of diets etc. but recently I've really come to realise that I'm stuck in a cycle of compulsive food behaviours. Thanks to reading about various fraus' experiences with NA/GA/AA etc. I reached out this week to a local meeting of Overeaters Anonymous. I just had a really nice chat on the phone with the contact person (? I don't even know what to call her) and have been given the details for a couple of Zoom meetings.
Thank (space) you to those fraus who speak about their experiences with 12 step programmes.
