It definitely does- all “filler” is is a substance that behaves like fat under the skin. When I get too thin I look so haggard and my face goes v long like a horse. It’s why so many women in their 40s and 50s either get thin and simultaneously mad for the filler, or embrace their cuddlier side as their faces look fab and well (I suppose hormones and menopause have a lot to answer for too). I remember when I was a trainee solicitor I idolised a female partner at the firm I trained with, but she said to me “after your fortieth birthday you have to choose between your face and your arse” and I never truly believed her, until… :rofl: :sob:

I might try this when my cleanser needs replacing. I’m on zineryt for my zits just now but actually I’m about to restart the combined pill because without some oestrogen my skin is just a fucking riot right now.

Since having M my bum is simultaneously huge and also completely flat. Why does having a baby change your bum?! Used to take the piss out of my mum saying she had an arse like an oven bottom barmcake…and now it’s my turn :sob:

Really wish I hadn’t got smart lightbulbs for the living room after getting them for my room, because 'er indoors now has the control app and she’s been trying to communicate with me in Morse fucking Code.

Really wish I was joking.

(Are there other ways to get oestrogen? I need it for sure but I dont want to go on the pill)

It’s my rib cage that seems to have expanded and won’t go back down (I carried very high and transverse towards the end). I’m lighter than I was pre-pregnancy but I can’t zip up certain favourite old dresses under my boobs.

I’ve always had a useless flat bum that even devout squatting won’t pad out :joy:

What’s the tv show or song or whatever where the theme tune is actually morse code for something. This is so vague.

Also, Mrs Eps is my new icon

Casualty?

Soya is main one that springs to mind! I had my bloods done ten days ago as I’ve been suffering from bad memory loss (not able to think of the right word for things in meetings, leaving car keys in fridge, finding a letter that I definitely posted in my bag days later and thinking WTAF did I put in that letterbox). Also had bad sads that I’ve been tracking and defo happen post ovulation and pre period. Spots from hell. Convinced I’m peri as my mum has peri from my age (even though she didn’t get menopause till 50). Blood tests say no chance BUT I know my body and what’s not right and this all points to my oestrogen levels starting to dip. So I’m going to try to pill for a couple of months and see how that goes. Need to do weekly blood pressure monitoring at home and I expect my milk supply might finally dry up too but I’ll live with that. If it’s not working out then I’ll be researching natural oestrogen alternatives for sure!

Google tells me, predictably, Inspector Morse but also Some Mothers Do Have 'em? But they’re not what I was thinking of

Match of the Day?

Could be. Just going to assume all theme tunes are morse code from now on

Lola the cat is feeling poorly so we’re watching her tonight. Pippin the kitten is running around the kitchen like a cat possessed so we’re trying to keep them separate. Being a car owner is fun!
