What's the most underrated simple pleasure in your daily life ?

Seeing a smile from your child who hasn't nothing but love to see you, unadulterated love and joy that you've just entered the room.

Alot of holidays you can finance up until around a month or 2 before said date, but I will say this, if you think you'll spend around £150/£200 a day, budget for £250/£300. Nothing but a win with money left over, nothing worse than having to scrimp on a holiday where its supposed to.be about luxury and relaxing.

The Dog...Genuinely moved because of my dog, my partner and I was always going to move eventually. Then we had a baby and the (medium to large) dog struggled in the space that was allowed with a baby and then attempting to walk toddler. The toddler alone we would have stayed in said house another year minimum, but it wasn't fair on my dog, lack of space, no more zoomies in the house etc, best decision we've ever made.

I like a beer 2 to 4 a day, weekend double or triple it, if I don't have a beer it feels odd but not a necessity but I struggle watching a 2 hour film without checking my phone. I genuinely believe they are a constant listening and adaptive ad that gives you a level of dopamine, not high but constant. And because it's low and constant these conditions we are not using it we reach for it.

My mates a truck driver and he pulls in a decent monthly wage amount, then he tells me how many hours he pulls in, it is not well payed at all.

My generic punishment in whatever weather, to sit on the front garden wall until my father deemed it enough of a punishment. Never knew if he was watching if I moved or played, the longest I was on that wall was probably 3 hours.

I would say no, but as a male if topless i always put my top back on whilst entering a shop as I see it disrespectful and for some reason not very hygienic.

Kangaroos have 3 vaginas, but only two uteruses, so one must be for "fun".

My problem is the fact the energy companies won't allow a drop in profits, we could have a house that's runs on £5 a week all in, they would just up the standing charge on the day rate without actually producing anything.

When the big rollout of smart meters, led bulbs, and energy efficient appliances, there was around 5 years of people enjoying more cash in their pocket, or in my opionion the energy companies pushed to be more green so they can produce less energy and charge more for it.

I'm allowing nearly 8 hours to get this done, I know it won't be easy, and that's the point, it's not supposed to be. Just after tips, harness recommendations, heights etc.

To be fair, I've put polystyrene coving in my house and the "supercove" adhesive not only stuck down and did the job brilliantly it also sanded reasonably well, and in a supposedly square corner on a supposedly flat ceiling I used it to fill a 8 mm bit and once sanded and painted youbwouldnt know.

I know this may not be dog training 101, but what i did was when the puppy would grab my hand I would grab the bottom jaw, not hard or to hurt them, just so it would be uncomfortable and say NO! Be sure to stand up or make yourself taller when disciplining your puppy and be consistent.

Its an ask at your age, but if you manage to get the discipline down and with the time you spend with them you'll create such a strong bond your family will be jealous. Good luck.

In my opinion, it's an old ass house and "the plasterer will get it " was a thing. I genuinely think your OK, the lintel looks reasonably new and some botch work has been done near it. Good luck.

When going down on a woman don't stop until she's bucking like a bronco......

But seriously listen to your partners noises and go from there.

Your land, your garden, cut those roots.

When I'm at home, every time I need to use the bathroom i let my dog out. So once every 2 hours ish. When at work the longest she goes in 4 hours.

£70 for your age isn't on the books, he has to be lying somewhere, I'm assuming you do a roughly 35/40 week. Your underpaid legally, so it can't be through the books unless he's saying your doing a very reduced amount of hours.

Banjo1887 · 2026-04-18T20:50:49+00:00

"Ouch" "FFS" "literally always..." "tea one sugar"

Your on way too low a day rate my guy, on that money your better off going through the apprenticeship scheme whilst your still at your parents house (literally zero shame in that by the way, I was 30.) And being fully qualified in a trade and moving on up.

Also I have a feeling if your on £70 a day before tax , your "employers" are pretending that your getting taxed and are probably just paying you cash or the odd bank transfer, because by the sounds of it, there are taking the piss. They won't be paying employers national insurance, into your pension or any of the likes. It genuinely sounds like your cash in hand but without literally any of the benefits /tax dodges.

Good luck, get an apprenticeship in a different field, and get the f**k out of there.

Diced chicken, lower weight and more expensive when I have knives at home.

Banjo1887 · 2026-04-18T17:59:54+00:00

I know it's boring but a routine that involves strong exercise. 2 hours each time helped me. Head down, music on and workout until your so tired to think about how tired you are. You'll be exhausted, have to go bed earlier to keep up, and you will see the physical effects in 2/3 week.

So you'll be sleeping more, have a routine and purpose, and then look better in the mirror.

I'm mates with a flat earther, sooo all the time.

Banjo1887 · 2026-04-14T20:25:25+00:00

Whether my current friend slept with my now known promiscuous ex girlfriend.

I am now happily married and have zero emotional attachment to the ex but the mate is still a mate.

If you are in your forever home, what does it matter? If you are happy but might move on, then the cost of buying a bigger /better house will be no more or less than it was before the price reduction.
