Food & Drink #3

[BananaSmith]

Gammon, chicken wings, chips and corn on the cob for tea tonight - a bit of a mix due to use by dates. And maybe a homemade chocolate brownie for afters if there's room.

Is only 23 here so not unbearably hot.

Just debating Chinese for tea, feeling lazy and now tuning into the mother thread with bated breath to see if Jackies about to mount the sideboard in her red bikini. I have mixed feelings about this.

My boobs are so big I still have boob sweat even with a bloody bra on

Same, without a bra theyre way too saggy and it gives me the ick when theyre sweaty

Underboob sweat is the worst thing, ugh! I make sure I’m wearing a nice (loose but stretchy) LONG vest, so that I can tuck it up under them when they are roaming to help stop the slick #sexy

Yep! The sweat patches arent a good look but

Have kebabs on the way here too! It's about the only takeaway we can get delivered on a weekend out here nowadays. Salad and green chillies for me, garlic sauce and a hot sauce from an assortment I bought the other day. (Haven't worn a bra for days, no fucks given )

I am always so intrigued by where you might live! Feel like we might be Tattle neighbours.

I would love to ditch the bra but am breastfeeding and have gigantic boobs anyway so it's not really an option when I'm "dressed"

Omg @BilboSaggins I was going to ask earlier if you were ovulating! I am too, God isn't it just the worst? I get the ovulation crushes SO BAD.

ALERT ALERT ALERT

I have finally ordered an anti hair wrap cordless Shark vacuum!

I’m slightly saddened by how excited I am over it

I feel a bit like I am being triangulated with some of the posts on this thread this afternoon - I’ve the Shark anti hair wrap. Not cordless though. Bought to help with all the fur bunnies released by my ever moulting mutts. It’s the one that bends in the middle so you can go under the sofa etc.

The sofa is too low

I also own about 5 tape measures. FML.

So now I need a new sofa to go with my vacuum

Or I may just buy some taller feet for the sofa... seems the less extreme/costly option

I hate not wearing a bra. I cant deal with the boob sweat!

At the best of times I only need to tuck my Ladybird vest into my knickers :-(

Do you mean that you have smaller boobs? I do sometimes have daydreams about what it would be like. I would wear tshirts with writing on them. #bigboobdreams

Same same, though I do love not having to wear a bra. Absolutely hated myself until I hit my 30’s and I made peace with it.

loved my pregnancy/breastfeeding boobs though.

Is everyone that was on the dkl thread practically sexually harassing Matt now going to use ovulation as an excuse ?

Isn't it just bleeping horrible how we are all trained to hate our bodies?
I feel so sad for my daughters that soon they will look at themselves and not like what they see. They are all so beautiful, so perfect and yet I know that they'll see only the things they dislike.

Can you let us know, I can’t bear to check

Sure, It’s just some Bikini pics at the moment. X

It’s also extra sad that it’s worse now than before the feminist movement of the 60s/70s of which my mum was a member. At that time they thought this body image/appearance obsession for women would end.., yet here we are.. and it’s becoming bad for men as well (not that I have that much sympathy tbh...I am aware that is very mean ...)

I always imagined having big norks and wearing cleavage-revealing tops. I loved the words of the late, great Victoria Wood about hers, something about seeing if you could hold a pencil underneath and she said she could fit a small branch of WH Smiths.

Babe, same @Saint_clemmie, mine did a magnificent job feeding three babies and the silver lines are my badges of honour.

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you sad. It’s just one of those insecurities, you know.

I do think that these days there’s such a wider representation of body types now. In the 90’s/00’s it felt like there was 1 ideal body, big boobs included. I feel that breast implants are not as trendy as they once were but I suppose it all goes to the lips instead.

no in all seriousness I think we know better nowadays. X

I’m pretty short and big boobed and a little round in the tummy area and my husband is super tall and skinny (naturally) and my daughter is very much taking after him and it really gets my goat how many people comment TO HER (she’s 7) about how skinny and tall she is.

 

[peperomia]

I had a tuna sweetcorn sandwich for lunch (addicted) and about to have one of my @Pocahontas ice lollies to cool down.

I’ve been getting weird twinges downstairs so I’m trying to eat little but often and drinks loads of water so if it starts I’m at least well nourished. I’m not sure if I’ve done the twinges to myself I was cleaning the windows internally as workmen have all left so possibly stretching too much?

It’s meant to get up to 35 though fuuuck that!

OMG exciting! My deepest sympathies to you in this heat. This time next year you can tell your husband it's his turn to hold the hot baby

I grew up hearing "youre a fine young woman". From Irish paddies, it meant I was big Im broad and tall, i grew to like that about me (not the layers of fat now sitting on me!) but it bugs me that it gets described as that!

 

[GrunkaLunka]

No need to apologise @Saint_clemmie, but thank you. I always feel a bit crappy about body stuff tbh.

I've always felt like I have to swamp myself and cover up because of my shape. On a hot day, I would love to wear less but after spending my teens being objectified and leered at, I became ashamed of myself for looking 'too sexy' . I realise that these are my issues, but society's acceptance of this behaviour has been so damaging. It wasn't even only men, I feel so let down by all the older women who made comments about me because of the way my body grew?!

urgh. I just wish people wouldn’t comment at all. I feel like my daughter is either gonna get a complex about being tall and skinny or grow up thinking tall and skinny is the ‘best’ way
