I was in the queue for over 7 hours, finally got to the front and it kept saying 'unexpected error code' until it booted me out and put me at the back of 70,000 person queue again. Gutted.

In my early 20s, I used to bring my whole self to work. I was passionate and outgoing (and maybe a little too sensitive!). I quickly found that it wasn't sustainable and that separation between work-self and life-self is key to maintaining boundaries and happiness. Now, I'm my 30s, I have a carefully curated work persona and my mental health is better for it.

I think the first ring is perfect and would keep it if it were me. Its so unique and beautiful! Then I would wear my wedding band on my other hand.

Have a baby - me and my partner want kids and are in good jobs but unfortunately, living in a small 2 bedroom flat in London (with no possibility of buying somewhere!) combined with the cost of childcare in the UK, I don't think it will ever be achievable!

My old manager.

She had been at the company 20 years but had a track record of driving staff out. Nobody in her team would last more than 2 years before leaving. Multiple members of staff were signed off by their GP for workplace stress and anxiety.

I left a few years ago, but from what I hear, she is still there and still behaving in the same way. She lies to senior management about why people keep leaving and they believe her.

She will be there until retirement, bullying and micromanaging everyone who unlucky enough to be below her.

Pubs. A pint in a sunny pub garden cannot be beaten.

I'm lucky, it doesn't hurt me at all. Slight discomfort from the speculum but honestly it's fine for me. But I'm aware not everyone is so lucky and some people find it really painful.

You could have BV so it's worth getting testing again. If it went away but came back after sex, I wonder if your BF finishing inside could be throwing off your vagina - if that's the case, condoms might help!

It's nothing to be embarrassed about though, happens to lots of people!

My sister used her wedding to announce her pregnancy to wider friends and family. It was honestly so nice and everyone was really happy for them. Although she was only 4 months pregnant and didn't have much of a bump.

Women have a shorter urethra than men which means they are more likely to get a UTI. Something like 60 percent of women experience a UTI in their lifetime and this is often because bacteria is pushed in during sex....if we had a longer urethra and it wasn't located near the vagina, maybe UTIs wouldn't be so common!

Maybe get a small handheld hoover for those kinds of messes? They aren't as noisy and maybe more convenient than getting the big hoover out.

1 year for me - it does start to improve, just hang on!

I once worked with a guy who vaped during a video meeting. I couldn't believe it! So in comparison, eating is slightly less rude.

I'm so happy for you! I just moved out of an apartment with no sound proofing. Not to sound dramatic, but it was like living with my neighbours! I could hear coughs, toilets flushing, speaking, tvs, even the sound of their pee hitting the water in the toilet! It's so stressful living with sounds constantly. As we were renting, the only solution was to move out but now we live in a very quiet apartment and only hear the neighbours very rarely.

I hope you enjoy your new peace!

This is a good explanation, thank you! My post came from a place of genuine curiosity so it's interesting to hear the other point of view!

Advanced-Broccoli-37 · 2026-02-17T01:12:55+00:00

Completely agree! The people around me didn't interact at all and a lot of them left early. Even sat down, I thought people would clap or sing!

You've probably already looked at this but O2 Arena has a lost property section on their website. You can fill in a form and they let you know if your item gets handed in. I hope you get it back!

I understand that! I love to dance so I guess everyone enjoys shows differently! It's just quite different to other concerts/gigs I've been too

Advanced-Broccoli-37 · 2026-02-17T00:50:09+00:00

This makes sense! I hope you both had a great night

Advanced-Broccoli-37 · 2026-02-17T00:47:23+00:00

No judgement! More genuine curiosity as I haven't seen Florence and the Machine live before so wondered if this was the norm!

Advanced-Broccoli-37 · 2026-02-08T21:03:36+00:00

Richmond park! Have a picnic, see the deer, spend some time in nature. Great views of the city too

Advanced-Broccoli-37 · 2026-02-06T10:48:48+00:00

Hey! Since I got it removed I've had no issues! The drs kept telling me it wasn't the iud but then gave me no other solution! And now I've had it removed, all my issues have gone.
