What does curvy even mean? I always think of quavers personally. Or is it a nicer word for chubby?

it’s sounds like the Daily Mail passive aggressive way of saying “lumpy cow”

similarly from the Mail;
“Flaunts her curves”
*showing too much of her fat bits, put it away love*
“Left her toned arms/legs on show”
*bloody hell they’re some flabby arms love…. Put them away yeah.*

the Mail hate women
(and spell check, and probably deodorant, but not relevant )

Remember the Mail used to always say ‘pours her curves into xxx’

Kids will tell you what's what. one of my grandkids called me fat and the other hugged me and said you are not fat nanny you are chubby and cute.

I thought it could mean one of two things. Either you're quite shapely (have a defined waist and hips etc) or another word for being a bit overweight.

I think you can be curvy or more "straight up and down" at any size, but sometimes people use it for bigger people who don't have any sort of body definition at all.

When people call food “guilt free”
Food is fuel it’s not something to feel guilty for ffs. Sick of seeing “guilt free pizza” “guilt free snack” “guilt free breakfast” if you feel guilty for eating anything you need to re-evaluate your relationship with food. It’s for energy. Calm the duck down.

At least you know which one to leave the good jewellery to in your will give the other one the Pandora crap.

also. Pandora jewellery is basically one step up from Argos jewellery

I have a family member who actually used to be do an amateur panto every Christmas and my mum and I would go purely just to have a laugh and see what would go wrong that year. Think very wobbly sets, cast members forgetting their lines and walking on at the wrong time, the band randomly striking up and playing at the wrong moment, hysterically tit dance routines and shoehorning popular but totally irrelevant songs into the plot which where then always sung badly. One time someone even fell down the stairs head first during the encore at the end. Entertaining but for all the wrong reasons.

Your family member would love The Play That Goes Wrong then! Slapstick, wonky sets, forgotten lines etc

Those stupid wall stickers are tacky and make your house look stupid.

I’m feeling particularly bitter about this one as I spent hours dangling off the banisters of our stairs, peeling off this sticker that the previous owners had stuck on the wall. WHY?!

We knew a rough woman who lived near my gran’s who called her daughters Mercedes and Lexus. So we called the third Toyota as a joke

I used to get laughed at for my lips and guys would say they are perfect blow job lips Now, I get asked where did I have them done as they are so natural. It’s weird how standards change

Three sisters I know called Mercedes, Lexus and Porsche (pronounced Porsha). Their dad drove a work’s van

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Mercedes is an actual name, it was inspired by the daughter of one of the engineers (I think) but the others? I got nothing

Bit scared to post this but here goes:

I don't think IVF or surrogacy should exist, especially not while so many kids are in foster care, children's homes and orphanages around the world.

There was a woman on the news tonight saying she is sharing her story about her fertility struggles because she wants to bring awareness of fertility struggles, the effects on a family and for people to stop saying she's selfish for wanting another baby while she already has a child. They've paid £14,000 for another unsuccessful round of IVF after trying for 8 years. She has a little girl already who's 9/10. She's saying how her kid cries cause she wants a sibling and she drops her kid off at schools and comes home and cries cause she so desperately wants another child and it's like... well with respect, could you not adopt a child? With the money you've spent on IVF you could have given your kid and a child, who will likely spend their whole life in foster care, a fantastic life. I know the adoption process isn't easy but neither is IVF. Maybe I'm harsh idk.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I don't know a lot about IVF but am against surrogacy. It's commodifying womens bodies for cash

Well I don't think people should be allowed to have more than one child period. The Earth is overpopulated as it is.

I will also go further and say I think there also should be control on tit parents having more children. I work in a job where you hear awful stories regarding parenting and children and they just have more and more with the same outcome.

That’s just all kids of tat isn’t it. Thankfully I don’t know anyone who has one , so I can’t take the piss.

 

[maytoseptember]

I don’t think it’s the job of infertile couples to deal with the problem that is neglected and traumatised children in the care system. Adopting children with complex needs (and all adopted children have trauma to deal with, if not conditions like foetal alcohol syndrome, or issues due to drug exposure) is a vocation and you really have to want that life. It isn’t easy.

It isn’t right to say “just adopt”. There are all sorts of reasons for wanting to carry and birth your own child.

Surrogacy is a separate issue.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Yeah I don't know enough about IVF but I don't see the problem with using science if possible. Again I don't know enough about it. But yeah, surrogacy is totally separate

 

[Begborrowsteal]

Curvy isnt a size. Its a body shape. Small waist, bigger hips & a bum. Anything else, chatting tit.

I also don't think IVF should be provided by the NHS at all.

 

[Purrrrrrr]

One of the worst things -for women's mental health- to come onto the market were home pregnancy tests.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Oh I thought IVF was paid for privately. Maybe that's just over here

Friend of mine has had hers by surrogate. It was her best friend who carried them. She had cancer before that left her infertile but had her eggs frozen ahead of the chemo and used her other half’s sperm.

I am so happy for them all (including the best friend) I could burst, I can’t think of a single thing wrong with it.

Rich people who do it to avoid being pregnant, I can see your point.
