Anyone know what type of flowers I can get that deer won't eat? Preferable small colourful ones

Someone said to get geraniums cause they won't eat them, but they definitely will eat them seeing as they have had a feast of everyone of them in the garden, another was marigolds but they attract slugs like crazy, also don't want lavender because the cats go for them, so is there anything I could try? it will be for little plant pots so nothing too big

Congratulations only thing that helped me was eating really strong mints. Ginger biscuits and all that didn’t do a thing for me

I had nausea with my last pregnancy till 22wks, never sick but was sick in previous pregnancies & don’t know which was worse, I used to have ice lollies mainly the fruit pastille ones they seemed to help me a lot.

B vitamins help, orange juice, eggs for protein. Stress makes it worse . I’ve had four children. I used sleep hypnosis with number two and slept the whole night through. My first pregnancy was hell, felt nauseous all the time, except when I felt hungry enough to eat eggs and bacon and oranges.

Please can anyone help with a passport issue that we have?

Basically we need new passports as ours have expired but we also need to get passports for our children. They will be first passports and the passport website is telling us we need to send off both paternal and maternal birth certificates, along with both marriage certificates for each set of grandparents, as well as our birth certificates and our marriage certificate.

We’d need to send them off twice if we order online wouldn’t we? One for each child as they would have different order numbers so to speak?

Would it be easier for us to go down to our nearest passport office and do it all in one appointment? Can we even do that??

General kid thread - all ages have their challenges!

Thought I’d start a thread for general parenting advice/venting as there doesn’t appear to be one! I have 1 child, 8 year old and at the moment she is driving me round the bend with her smart mouth/attitude! I know it’s a phase/hormonal but man it’s tough! Feel like she just wants to fight/ be...

There's this one.
I'm sure there is a toddler thread and a teenage one too. How old are your children?

I need to plan a party for my husband. Would you do it at home? - Cheaper, less formal (but home is tiny with 1 not great bathroom that I would be a bit embarrassed for people to see till we can afford to do it up) or...host a meal in a restaurant -EXPENSIVE but comfortable for guests etc....in an ideal world I would do it at home but just feel our house is a lot smaller than our friends etc and it might be a bit cringy

Do it at home. Real friends won't judge you and your house.

What's the issue with your "not so nice" bathroom? Is it something you can camouflage with a bit of paint and decor? Maybe a new toilet seat?

Would depend on how your friends would feel, we have a large family an usually do a meal out instead of holding a party, but it's a pay your own meal, we obviously pick places that have good deals like 2 courses for X amount or 3 courses for X amount an everyone's happy with that, would your friends be fine with that? Sometimes even a party at home isn't necessary cheap by the time you buy all the food, decorations etc

But if you feel better at home, a true friend like @OnlyHereForTheLolz says isn't going to mind what your house is like, if they do then they are probably the type to bitch regardless of what it's like
