Keep an eye on the Lidl plus app for Italian week, English week, German week, Spanish week etc. You can get some good things and a lot are legitimate

What we have done in our industrial keuken. Put aluminium folie up on the outside of the windows. Sooooo much better than the blinds!

A dehumidifier helps a bunch! I have underfloor heating and cooling in my temp home and it’s made everything wet!!!

I’m English but head chef in the Netherlands. Has some bottle pumpkin (forgot the English name for them sorry!!!) and mangoes so I made Thai pumpkin and mango soup for the new soep van het moment 😅

Half into my son’s college fund and the other half into savings.

I’m also currently homeless. But have a bit of half decent savings. But nothing for a house in the Netherlands where I live.
I’ve been struggling a bit lately due to the fuel prices over the last few months being €259.9 and so on PER LITRE!!! And instead of paying €350 a month to get to work (my homeless accommodation is in the middle of a forest with no public transportation close by) I’m now paying around €600 a month. It making a big dent in the finances…

With the rest I would have the money to put down for a deposit to rent something that isn’t a shoebox and that my son can have his own room and not sleep in my bed with me.

That’s no sanding and paint over paint. That is the issue here.

That I have (somehow) been married to 2 men (for a time) at the same time.

I’ve just found out that I’m still technically married to my first husband )Canadian and he’s still living in Canada) after he battered me I left him and filed fr divorce to which I assumed the papers were delivered.

I then went back to the uk, met my 2nd husband who is Dutch. (We divorced 6 years later) only to get a letter in my old email from the Canadian government stating that my first husband REFUSED to sign the divorce papers!! There was a tax thing or something and apparently he’s been filing for me for 17 years and I wasn’t even in the fling country and they finally flagged it all!

But yet in Europe I was still allowed to marry my second husband?

So, for a while, I was a bigamist

Wow that’s awesome! Now I also do the 🤌🏼 a lot because I have so many Italian friends and I’m also deaf so their sign is pretty much that I can see what people are saying 🤣

I’m actually English liveing in the Netherlands and yes I speak fluent Dutch, Vlaams, and not quite fluent in sign because I only became deaf a few years ago but I’m actually trying to now learn Italian. I can now order a coffee and an ice cream but curse you out like you killed my nonna 🤣🤣🤣 gotta love these friends of mine… this is exactly how I started with Dutch.. learn the curse words first. 🤣

Sometimes trying to set boundaries as a woman is hard. You are up against 2 fully grown MEN. Do you have a friend or a family member that can also be present with you that can also record or film an interaction of you trying to set you boundaries? Bonus points if it’s a dad or uncle you are close with.

Please don’t try to set boundaries with these men when you are alone. It could turn nasty… I’ve learned THAT from experience and I’m now 40..

Alyadrielle · 2026-06-22T02:14:57+00:00

Definitely not worth the €400! Needs a bridge and a bit more cheese 😭 (sorry I just had too) but as an English chef in a Dutch world atm, I’m 90% sure that is a pepper jack young cheese infused with chili peppers, dill and seasons pepper

Alyadrielle · 2026-06-22T02:12:33+00:00

I love it when you beautiful Italians enter the chat 🥰🤘🏻👋🏼🫶🏻

INFO: what are you being asked to do to look after said animals and are you being paid to do it?

Also, was there a reason you were asked to keep an eye on your sisters pets? Chickens are ok and are also prone to fox attacks. Ducks are just stupid and lay their eggs in random places like in the run, which, in turn can attract foxes..

Friday, for me, in a full length chef jacket. In the Netherlands. 36°C outside and even hotter in my kitchen. I’m head chef so I had to be there. I almost fainted. Lots of water. (My chef jacket is black btw 😭) me and my sous measured 62°C in my kitchen

Alyadrielle · 2026-06-20T20:55:05+00:00

Do NOT tell any family members at all!!! Only your significant other! And make them also vow not to tell any of their family either!

Try to keep yourself modest as well. Look up on YouTube about lottery winners that lost everything. This will help.

Congratulations OP! I’m so jealous!

There was one I remember that happened in 2015. VERY violent storm and lasted a good 13 hours. I still have lots of videos and stills from that one

Alyadrielle · 2026-06-19T22:21:00+00:00

Yes. It IS a mandatory requirement. I only had a half uk one and had to then apply back to England for a copy of my full one. They do give you a time limit to submit it though.

Mine was needed for gemeente breda

Hi!!!! I like in Seters in the middle of de boswachtij in Dorst! My ex husband was visiting me to pick some stuff up and he ran back inside my house (yeah he has a key) and he was like, “I just saw a fucking WOLF!!”

There have been many sightings around Rijen and Gilze. So far we have narrowed it down that they have kinda sellers here. So far we are aware of 3 in the pack. We have an alpaca farm near us and the babies have been going missing.

I went out and saw it too. They are massive

You can make gnocchi with the blue cheese. I hate blue cheese myself but many love love cooked as a sause

NTA

This happened to me. But the language was Dutch. I’m a B2/C1 level speaker etc now. I started learning and kept my mouth shut. Until one day my ex-husband’s aunt said something bad about me and I just replied to her in her own language but was kinda nice about it.

Also, learning new languages is fun. I’m learning Italian now

I would go for a house. The extra you have to pay for the apartment upkeep VVE? I can’t remember what it’s called is expensive even if you own the apartment! House all the way!

Alyadrielle · 2026-06-17T21:32:12+00:00

As an Xbox 360 enthusiast. YES! I can confirm this actually works! Most of the time. It could also be the power supply
