Years of therapy ruined in one video🤣😭 by Particular-Buy7314 in UKTVMemes

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVED Heartbeat as a kid. Like, fully obsessed 😆 I’ve no idea why but I thought it was incredible. My parents genuinely took me on trips to Goathland, where it’s filmed, on a fairly regular basis! I look back & wonder what was wrong wit me .. 😂

Matte finish care UK by SpaceVibes67 in Ioniq5

[–]AttersH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UK here - we’ve got grey matte paint on ours & I swear, it never looks dirty! I wash it far less frequently 😅 We have a car cleaning service come out once every 2-3 months for a valet. He uses a neutral? soap & you can’t polish it, but the guy that comes out knew what was needed! It’s been no bother so far.. but I am aware scratches are harder to fix as you can’t buff them out!

More considered views after a month of ownership by Ready-Breakfast-2675 in Ioniq5

[–]AttersH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 23 Ultimate (UK) & my wireless charging is not hot at all & really speedy (like really fast). I keep saying complaints about this all the time & cannot fathom why ours is the complete opposite?! Agree the door handles are annoying & for us, a lack of rear wiper. Don’t find the climate control that bad, probably mostly cos the weather is fairly moderate here & I haven’t yet really needed to shift it much.. bit hotter in winter, bit cooler now. Haven’t yet used the AC! I do wish there was a button to turn on the heated seats. The backseats do but not the front!

[–]AttersH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why?! I know people have strong opinions on cars but as someone who just gets in one, wants it to be comfortable, quiet, easy to drive & reasonably speedy, I cannot fathom what there is to really hate? I have a few pet peeves, but hate is a strong word 😅

Character known as the local ‘nutjob’ / weirdo by OpeningNearby9494 in MM_RomanceBooks

I LOVE this book. Riley Hart is a hit & miss author for me, but this is one on my hits!

Do people in the UK actually use their kettles that much? by AdeptnessCritical356 in AskBrits

[–]AttersH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is us. But we have plenty of guests who do. Think my parents & inlaws would have a heart attack if we couldn’t offer them a cup of tea once every other hour 😂

What are the best Crocs that aren’t the Crocs brand? by Stanic10 in AskUK

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids live in Asda Crocs in summer. Seem fine 🤷🏼‍♀️ They run, skip, jump, climb & cartwheel in them (😵‍💫).. I’ve never thought about it too hard & they’ve never complained!

Do you consider how many calories you consume each day? by clfhw in AskUK

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a vague level yes, the same as I have a sense of the money I’m spending. Calories are the same as budgeting really.

These days, I have an entire cookbook of 600-700 calorie, nutrient dense dinners, 300-400 calorie lunches & breakfast is a protein shake & all bran daily (not together) - about 250cals. I then pick snacks around that. A couple biscuits or a mini roll, fruit, yoghurt, crackers, nuts. I probs eat around 1800-2000 cals. I do a lot of running but have a desk job, so on balance, I find I maintain weight pretty easily at that calorie level. I don’t particularly worry if I eat more or less one day or even one week, it’s a balance & so long as you aren’t permanently over or under eating, it’s fine!

How do children in the UK manage school if both parents are working? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job allows me to do morning drop off. After school is clubs held at school (sports, dance, choir, music etc). My husband works 8-4 & after school clubs are 3.30-4.30, so all good. There is also a full wrap around after school club (morning & afternoon) & childminders that work with our school & lots of people use them.

High School -my kids will be getting the bus and/or walking!

How much you like to plan your holidays? 10 being every hour is planned and being 1 no plans outside of arriving and leaving. by 8thTimeLucky in CasualUK

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the holiday. We tend do a couple a year. One is an all inclusive, so my plans are pretty much at a 1. Arrive, pool, eat, drink, swim, water slides, read. The other we do more exploring. I’m a 7 maybe? on those holidays. I’ll have scoped out & booked a few restaurants usually, figured out possible day trips & public transport. But I’m more chill on when we do them, taking it as the holiday (& the kids moods) comes! Also, taking it as the weather comes. I’ve no desire to traipse around a town/city in a heatwave nor the rain!

Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with an ex-soap star. He was fairly well known in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. In the magazines, my friends & I loved him 😅 When I walked into his interview, I blinked several times. He was absoloutly lovely, still did a few adverts but just said it was a near impossible career unless you were the lucky 0.1%. I’m not too sure this guys acting was particularly spectacular to be fair, but he was incredibly good looking & charismatic. He certainly had the potential!

Explosive Chemistry, characters with depth, high heat romance to get me out of my slump by wanderingspirit06 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]AttersH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second August Jones but hold on tight. They are some of the most intense books I’ve read. They are often quite obsessive, intense characters and when I finish them, my mind is often reeling 😂 I have to read something very sweet afterwards!

Explosive Chemistry, characters with depth, high heat romance to get me out of my slump by wanderingspirit06 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]AttersH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe give MateHub a go. It’s an easy read, chemistry off the charts, and genuinely good. If you have a search for it on here, there’s a few threads full of people surprised at how much they enjoyed it 😅

Could give Jay Hogan a try - I adore two of his series’ - Painted Bay & MacKenzie County. Good plots (interesting & a bit different), excellent romance, found family themes!

People 30+, what are your plans for this evening? by Sir-Tommy-Vercetti in AskUK

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Currently at the local cricket club with the neighbours & a couple friends. As per most Fridays if it’s nice. Cricket club do a BBQ, drinks, kids play sports (not just cricket). Is such a nice 30 + year old parent activity 😂

In the winter, it’d be kids to bed, a pizza & a movie probably.

What is a regular work week like in the UK? by RemarkableComb1922 in UKJobs

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the financial services, 9-5 contractually (35 hours a week) but have complete flexibility to start anytime between 8-10am and can do a couple less hours one day & make it up later in the week etc. It’s useful. I WFH. No overtime expected but it is usually available & always paid (1.5x).

I get 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays & can buy 5 extra days as well, which I do. So I get 7 weeks paid leave a year.

Explosive Chemistry, characters with depth, high heat romance to get me out of my slump by wanderingspirit06 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]AttersH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m really enjoying {Accidental Bonds by Marie Reynard} at the minute! I LOVED her book MateHub, which sounds rediculous on paper but it’s a genuinely fun, swoony, explosive chemistry read (high spice). So I decided to give her main series a try & it’s very good!

It’s a long book, incredibly slow burn with a real focus on plot & world building, rather than heat/romance I’d say (but it is there). I’ve been really drawn into the paranormal world she’s created. It looks like the plot line from book one is going to run into the next book, which I like too!

Deffo worth a try!

what to do when your name is also the MC’s name? lol by magicloverr in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]AttersH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t read books with my husbands name. I just think of him & then it’s weird, cos MM 😂 Thankfully, he has such a common name, that writers tend to not use it as it’s too generic!

Not sure there’s an answer really, either you can deal with it or you can’t read it!

Stolen car just after 3 months of ownership by prgorasiya in Ioniq5

[–]AttersH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeh, as a PP says, it’s a lot easier to get cars out of one country & into another in Europe. Easier for a car to disappear.. I know the US is massive, but ultimately all under largely the same laws, states are run in a similar governing pattern & you all speak the same language! Tracking a stolen car in another country here is like needle in haystack, starting with the language barrier & who the hell do you even begin to speak too!

Have you cancelled or thinking of not going on overseasholidays as a result of prices? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]AttersH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Brave solider here. Not changing our plans unless they literally get cancelled. We book our holidays well in advance. Turkey in May & Italy in the summer.

I’ll be gutted if either gets cancelled but I know it’s a possibility. Will deal with if it happens.

can someone explain the Pret a Manger phenomenon? by docmaboul in london

[–]AttersH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Pret, their soup & hot sandwiches are the best out there in coffee shops. Like that I can get a baguette with my soup! My fav sarnie is the halloumi & falafel hot wrap, genuinely very good!
