Fretting about silly DD18 who lost her virginity this week, and didn’t use a condom. She’s so mortified and anguished about the whole thing, that I don’t feel it’s right to get cross with her. Morning after pill taken and STI tests ordered. Also feeling bad that I hadn’t realised her implant had run out - she’s still not having periods. She doesn’t know that part as I can’t handle her panicking more than she already is. So blaming myself as much as anything. She has ASD so organisational skills are poor (as clearly are mine 😞🫤). Feeling utterly shit about the whole thing.

@MaraScottie how do you identify which are the ones that don’t favour the house? Are there any games you’d recommend?

Ishouldbeoutside · 07/04/2023 22:52

Why was she on an implant if she wasn’t having sex? I’d be more concerned about how she ended up having sex without having thought through the implications and it doesn’t sound like she was ready or enjoyed it either.

Swansandcustard · 07/04/2023 22:58

She has the implant for horrific periods. Yes, I am concerned about her having sex without considering the implications - I’m dumbfounded because we’ve always drummed in the need for protection, regardless of her implant. And no, she didn’t enjoy it, that is also why I’m fretting.

thanks for the supportive post.

@isitshe I try not to think about the reality of it, but I'm getting the repairs done literally years quicker than I would be able to otherwise, so I get over it 😁

I want in. Where do you do this 😂

I'm not remotely joking either

I think I have PND or PNA but I daren’t admit this to anyone, particularly any health professional as I don’t want to go on medication. I’m constantly so anxious over the silliest of things and can’t stop crying

Please tell someone. You don't have to take meds, it's your choice. You can still be supported in other ways. I don't know why you're against meds but in case you didn't know there are herbal meds too, available without prescription.

Sorry I can't remember your username but:
I sell my used knickers on the internet. The money goes into a separate account. I save it up and use it for house repairs. The next job I'm saving up for is new gutters, soffits and fascias. Should have enough by the end of June.
There's a market for stinky tatty shoes too if you have any of those, an acquaintance used to do it.

Do you have to put a return address on the items you sell? Or is it anonymous?
Return address is for postal service to return item to you if they can't find delivery address. It's not compulsory. Perhaps you wouldn't be able to claim for a lost/undelivered package? As long as your payment method is anonymous I guess you'd be fine. PayPal?

OP I like this thread thanks for starting it. I'm not doing anything secret so I've nothing to add. Guess that makes me a bit boring!

In a relationship with a man who is living in the Dane house as his wife. They are separated and everyone thinks he. Is divorced because until he met me he loved the life of a single man. None of our many local friends knows hiss living situation. We go out together and socialise as a couple have weekends away /Xmas/New Year etc together.
People would be surprised if they knew.

Reading fanfic! Just started after reading this thread- I had NO idea!

PeapodBurgundy · 08/04/2023 04:29

@halfpasteleven no need for a return address, I ship tracked and obtain proof of delivery (GPS location and photograph) in case of issues. I turn over anywhere between £800 and £2000 a month and have never had an issue which wasn't resolved.

@overthinkersanonnymus I use snifffr, but there are several sites doing the same thing. I spend probably about 6 hours a week keeping my page updated, responding to messages, and packaging up orders, and for that I make about half of my monthly wage from my job over again (FE lecturer on a pittance). Once a month, I do a personal grooming session, photo shoot and re-stock my shop with generic items. There's no obligation to photograph yourself wearing the items, but you get a better response if you do. My face isn't ever visible, I wear a wig I bought from Shein, and edit out my tattoo, so even if you knew me, they wouldn't be identifiable. I started out using just the free features, and the underwear I'd bought which was my ex's preference that I was never going to wear again. I then used the profit from the first few sales to invest in more stock. Now I do a monthly order of generic stuff which keeps sales ticking over, then buy specific items as requested for special orders. The way to get the bigger sales (in my experience) is to get regulars who will pay for special requests (a specific item, increased length of wear, worn during a specific activity etc). It took ages to get going, but it's snowballing quite nicely now. My only initial outlay was tissue paper and ribbon to gift wrap things, then parcel paper to ship them.

@EasterEggBunny I've sold underwear, socks, shoes, sex toys, gym gear, face masks (why!?!) jars of urine (ick!), used sanitary ware (double ick). I have to work very hard not to think about what's happening with these things, but what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is their own business. I use the chat feature to a point; I don't particularly get involved with dirty talk (just enough to create an appealing picture), but it does allow me to meet special requests, which drives up the prices of items, so it's worth it.

Ozempic too! I only had a stone to lose and have lost it. Gone from a size 12 to an 8-10. At age 45 it feels amazing. I pay hundreds each month for it so keep it to myself !

Are there side effects? I need to shift a couple of stone 😬

blinkbonny · 08/04/2023 07:53

Thanks @Hamsterrace and @WildAloofRebel - you've inspired me to dig in deeper. I wasn't sure where to start - what program, language, etc and felt intimidated and confused every time I tried to look into it - but coding is something I've always fancied trying so I think I'll give it a go!

@CurlewKate ahhh, we’ll I’ve been writing it since I was about 14, 20 years ago, so I made that move a long time ago.

@Almostparadise great, isn't it? And, I warn you, addictive.

@SnacksRLife I've tried. I just make myself laugh.

Not the point of the thread but how have you managed to get hold of mini eggs? I went on a marathon search yesterday to 6 different shops to no avail. Nowhere has them. They're like gold dust...

I haven't rtft yet so apologies if you've found some, but I managed to find some yesterday in WHSmiths

Ooo I wish I could say but I absolutely can’t, but I’m involved in a top secret project at work and when it gets announced it’ll make headline news definitely in the UK and hopefully round the world, it’s got a code name and everything 😁

Good or bad?

He doesn't know that I know what he is up to!
At last I can tell somebody!
Sorry if I have brought down the mood!

Well done, enjoy your new lifeFlowers

For those asking about Ozempic , Google Asda Doctor . You can order it on line but have to show a photo of your flabby belly and of you standing on your scales 😂. If your are a lot overweight they can prescribe it for you and deliver it next day . It was about £50 for a syringeful which lasted about a week .
no adverse effects so far.

littleorchard45 · 08/04/2023 14:27

You lot have totally inspired me - not sure what to do, but definitely something secretly! Been in a real rut of late (surgical menopause/ depression/ secondary school place dramas/ house issues) and I’ve kind of let myself be dragged down by it all. I am now going to relish a secret new life! Congratulations to all those secretly growing babies, and those brave enough to start new lives 🙌🏻 and sending love and hugs to those of you struggling with MH issues as I know that place well 🤗

Some great writers out there! And definitely erm, distracting, in some cases - certainly won’t be needing to turn the heating on today😂
