I thought I'd ask people for suggestions rather than be a boring prick. I understand how the internet works. Hope that helps :)

Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent

That sounds about right for if I had been allowed 😂 what's even funnier is that my dad is an excellent artist and I have picked up zero ability www.andrewstewartjamieson.co.uk Just me over here with my dino nuggets 😂😂😂😂

There is a reason I was not allowed to take GCSE art

Tried to paint a dinosaur today and my friends all reached the same conclusion 🙃😂

Thank you to the people saying happy birthday but I am in fact only 35 😂 this is for the Boy
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh it's not my birthday it's a card I bought for somebody
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh its not for me. I'm 35
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social)
"I'm not turning 40. I'll be 39 again" Mmhm mmhm sure.

So thankfully it turned up before he came over and I managed to both wrap it and hide it under the bed in that time 😂 so there's no way that he'll be able to ever work out what it is ahaha
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
He turned up after it was delivered hahaha
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
I've only had 3 though!
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social)
I've had so much coffee today that I'm shaking 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Have also immediately wrapped it so that he won't be able to work out what it is 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
We are safe. Mission accomplished.

Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh yeah but I want to spend time with him too 😂 haven't seen him for a week maybe just a quick round the block for guns when I can see the delivery tracker pop up 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Hehehe plan
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Ohhh clever 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Well you see it is not for G dog 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent

I have a parcel being delivered between 1345 and 1445, and I need it to arrive today but I also need to find a way to sneak it into the cupboard so that *somebody* does not see it arriving today in the GIANT BRANDED BOX 📦 (can we pls not brand boxes) 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Heheheh
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
We did! They were absolute loves 😍

I can post this on here because he doesn't use bluesky but is this not the best wrapping paper in the world? I am genuinely obsessed with it 😂

He was telling me about Napoleonic cavalry the other day so I think we are past the point of nerdy no return 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you 🥰 he is in the Army so I need to convert him to the boaty ways but I'm working on it 😂

Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah once I started reframing it to be like my thighs have quite literally helped me climb mountains and win rowing races I decided they were idiots but it's taken me from 16/17 until about three years ago (when I was 32) to get to that point
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
He does! He was a little bit protective in the beginning but now he's fine 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Ahahahaha
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
🥰🥰🥰
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah I mean I was single for nine years before this because I met a lot of awful people, but spent a lot of time working out what I actually wanted, what my boundaries were etc
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Easily done!!
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Ayyyy I see what you did there
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
There is a lot of other *stuff* but I grew a pair on New Year's Eve and asked him for a drink. Went to see him once I was back from Antarctica, and here I am 8 months on from NYE & he makes me very very happy and I am a very happy human. Thanks Taylor Swift I guess 🥰
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social)
1yr go I took my friends spare Taylor Swift ticket because she broke up with her boyfriend. If I hadn't done that I wouldn't have ended up meeting / giving a lift home to an internet friend of mine who lived en route. If I hadn't done that I wouldn't have realised I found this man attractive...
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
This same family member told me that I had fat thighs when I was 17 and I'm now 35 and still absolutely hate my legs and struggle wearing things because of it, I don't think people realise how much it affects you
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh these sound really familiar as well 😂 I don't blame her because clearly it's ingrained in her as much as anyone else and actually that's quite sad but it's just very irritating
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
I just find it genuinely insane because it is the least interesting thing about people
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't think any of these people realise what effects stuff like this have to people who are literal children
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Right?! Absolute legend of a human honestly - I wish I had that level of brain power 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
I actually end up snapping because they were saying some awful things about my wee cousin. She's literally studying at MIT, part funded by NASA. Her weight is literally the least interesting thing about her 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
This is absolutely the right attitude
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh i know that one too. 'Good childbirthing hips' 🙃😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah i can imagine! You can't win! I feel super happy with where I am and I'm not likely to Spiral because I'm aware that the boy likes me as I am and that makes me really happy too, and I'm quite happy with where I am but it just really irritated me 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Anyway I just needed to vent and this is a safe space because no one in my family uses Bluesky 😂 As you were
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social)
Had the realisation this evening that all of my problems with food over the last however many years have basically come from one family member 😂 "You've lost weight Kate!" "Yep, almost 4 stone" "Oh! well done, keep going" I was actually almost done but thanks 🙃😂

Have to say it is a particularly harsh punishment compared to other deserters I came across.
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social)
Anyway, don't desert your ship, I guess is the moral of this one

It's just Biab. I think the brand my nail tech uses is thegelbottle
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh I didn't do these myself 😂 my friend who does my nails did them and it took her less than an hour whereas it would have taken me about five
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
The builder gel is just so hard that my nails couldn't break if I tried 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm obsessed. I saw somebody on Instagram with them and I was like YESSSS
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Loveee those. You can have extensions if you want, but my nails have grown so much, so this is just my natural nail now with the builder gel over the top
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah that's a shame, but completely understandable. I used to peel off shellac whereas I can't do that with Biab. It stays *intact* for 5 weeks even when I batter my hands doing ridiculous sports 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
Literally took her less than an hour as well for BIAB infills and nail art and I'm genuinely amazed because I could never 😂
Kate Jamieson / KJ ⚓️ (@kejamieson.bsky.social) reply parent
So cuteee
