Shoestring Renovation

[Tess_Tickles]

P.s I spend a lot less than £80 per month (couple in a small 2 bed house) so I don’t think £80 is crazy low.

I pay £60 per month total for elec/gas for a 3 bed house and have never provided a meter reading in 5 years. It’s one of those adult jobs I’ve just never done This has spurred me on to do it though… right now.

Does anyone know where she got that dolls house from?

 

[Whatsallthis]

£9 she paid for something that’s aesthetically pleasing, that she may or may not use. Waste of money in my eyes

But she’s soooo worried about money

Dear god …

I didn’t even know she was on tattle until she said

I didn’t either.

At 37 weeks ?

I have never heard a midwife suggest anything until you go over your dates - certainly not at 37 weeks

My midwife and hypnobirthing class said it was fine from 37 weeks but never before. I had the stuff wafting in my face for weeks - baby was still 10 days overdue!

A charity shop find I think

I know she’s a midwife so she knows best but I always thought clary sage was really dangerous in pregnancy and can cause Labour (which she wants) but too quickly/strongly. I think as a midwife she should be adding some sort of warning on those stories.

Clary Sage is fine to use once you are full term, I was encouraged to use it by my midwife

Surely if he’s been symptomatic then he should have completed a PCR?!

They’ve been unavailable to book. Maybe their lateral flows only showed positive tonight.

 

[I got up at 5am]

I will never understand people who come on Instagram daily to moan whinge and complain. She’d put anyone off having a baby.

She’s a community midwife though, she’s always out and about, it’s the nature of her job. I’d get your point if she was wearing scrubs outside after working on a ward all day but apart from clinics she seems to spend most of her time visiting expectant/new mums in their homes. She can’t not wear her uniform in public.

She isnt in the community anymore . She went back onto the wards

The stories carried on after the pregnancy test pictures, she went on to say that she had a miscarriage on Boxing Day. She was posting highlights from 2020 not a pregnancy reveal

What did they say exactly? Did she mention why she did it that way, was it to raise awareness for miscarriages? If so she should’ve kept them up but understand would be awful to start receiving happy messages as people clicked through - really odd to delete straight away you think you would think long and hard before sharing something so personal. I think she is obviously going through something. I think she also reads here quite often.

Surely so at least had some dog bags seen as they have a dog? They would have totally worked if you really needed to put in a sack first before the normal bin

 

[GossipMongoose]

Why on earth would a baby need them?

I think it’s something to do with his milk allergy? I don’t know whether they help or not, I haven’t read the evidence

I loved those few weeks before I had my baby but Jodie might just be done with being pregnant now.

Isn’t Terry a carpenter? I’m sure he could’ve made something perfect for the size of space.

With price on timber at the moment, the bookcase was probably a cheaper option, but I agree, I’d rather have something made for that space and purpose, than an ikea bookshelf.

Wasnt she saying a few days ago that she was soooo certain this baby would be earlier ? Yet here she is “ giving it her all “ at 37 weeks

May have been the case at one point, but I’m currently on nhs maternity leave and it isn’t now

that’s so frustrating!! Mine was 5 years ago now so they must’ve changed it.

Hold on she's just said Terry was feeling symptomatic yesterday but yet she was at work today? And now she is positive too. I would be raging if she was my midwife!

Esp as she’s in third trimester and your lateral flows can change so quickly
