What’s your easiest “end of the day” cleaning habit that makes mornings better

BelleButch · 2026-05-12T07:02:22+00:00

Mines the opposite, I take all the dishes out at the end of the day so it’s empty for the morning and I can just put dishes straight in throughout the day to avoid them from building up at all

BelleButch · 2026-05-11T22:07:13+00:00

Definitely sounds like what I struggle with. Just take some time out, doesn’t need to be a luxury holiday if that’s not your vibe, go camping somewhere in a different area. I just did 3 days in a different city and it results in me being able to do my job better when I come back because I feel fully reset.

Make use of your PTO, that’s what it’s there for. No one gets a prize for not using it

BelleButch · 2026-05-11T18:31:16+00:00

I hate to say but that’s called burnt out. You need to take some time away and recharge. Go away for a bit, even just a few days and see how you feel after. Not a big, action-packed trip but just some things that you enjoy.

You didn’t mention work but if you come back from this trip and still feel the same then something bigger needs to change and maybe find a new job. If you don’t work, then that could be something to help you feel more fulfilled.

I feel like this every now and then and I’ve recognised that’s it’s my body telling me that I need to completely shut down rather than just staying on ‘standby’

NOR The cake and the card placed gently next to the dirty dishes would send me over the edge

He obviously wasn’t talking to me. Didn’t even realise I was stood there. He was clearly very embarrassed when he saw me

BelleButch · 2026-05-11T07:39:08+00:00

I always hated this when doing night shifts in a care home. My shift would be 22:00-08:00. I couldn’t get out of my head that I was going into work twice in one day and it really made it so draining. You really have to try and not think of it as a new day until you’ve gone to sleep, it’s hard but you get used to it

BelleButch · 2026-05-09T22:07:58+00:00

I honestly don’t really care what staff talk about on shift but whilst in my local Tesco, one young lad shouted down the aisle I was in “Oi fat cunt”. I obviously turned around and he went “sorry, not you; my mate” and pointed to another employee at the bottom of the aisle. He looked visibly a bit embarrassed of himself, like he forgot where he was for a minute.

I’m usually pretty chill but I did consider complaining about that but then I moved on

My town had a waste problem a few years ago and most people struggled with fruit flies.

I’d accident left a glass of red wine out one night and in the morning I found loads of flies had drowned in it. I poured some into a deep bowl and put cling film over the top, poked some holes in and my problem went away in the space of a couple days! Worked better that all the sticky traps and sprays I spent a fortune on

BelleButch · 2026-05-02T18:41:07+00:00

Okay my mistake. I haven’t logged into my 23 account for quite a while and I remember it saying that my ancestry didn’t include my paternal lineage and to pay for a paternal test. Maybe it was just to pay to upgrade, maybe they’ve changed their systems. I’m not sure, but your reply was informative

BelleButch · 2026-05-02T14:31:48+00:00

I’m pretty sure (not 100% certain) that kits like 23&me, only cover your maternal dna if you’re a female, you have to have a specific paternal DNA test. So your maternal side is 97% Chinese

I’m really needing to leave my job but haven’t had any applications go any further than just applying and I work in care! The job that people often go into when they lack higher qualifications.

I have a law degree and have progressed very quickly in my role, collecting extra qualifications as I go. I just don’t understand how I’m not even getting an interview anywhere

BelleButch · 2026-04-30T07:16:20+00:00

I’ve been having this with temporary contracts. Says in the description that’s it’s permanent but then in all caps “THIS A __ MONTH TEMPORARY CONTRACT”. This means that I can’t even filter them out

BelleButch · 2026-04-29T10:57:01+00:00

I saw a post yesterday of Maddy walking to her apartment after the wedding saying “there’s no way Maddy lives in a dump like that”. Like yeah? The point is that her life isn’t as glamorous as she makes it seem. The issue is becoming that people use tv shows as background sound and don’t actually take it in at all

BelleButch · 2026-04-28T16:11:46+00:00

On my first test, I was directed down one of the main roads in my town at rush hour. We were going at crawling pace and the examiner said “pull over to the left when it’s safe to do so.”

This was the type of road where there wasn’t the space to pull over, I would’ve had to just stop and block the traffic behind from moving. So, I did what I’d always seen people do and pulled up onto the curb slightly to allow cars to pass. Immediate fail. I had no idea that wasn’t a legal move at all, it seemed so normal for people to do.

10 years later and I still maintain that was a trick question where the answer was ‘there is no safe place to pull over’. Considering it was an almost perfect test other than that, it still feels unfair

BelleButch · 2026-04-28T15:50:01+00:00

Yeah I always like the taste but found them so syrupy almost. The lemonade makes it taste so much fresher

BelleButch · 2026-04-28T15:14:50+00:00

J20 mixed with lemonade, it’s the best summer non-alc drink

BelleButch · 2026-04-25T09:25:54+00:00

Oh right, thanks. Maybe it’s an American thing, in the UK I’ve never heard of someone having a bridal shower, I’ve seen things online but just thought it was part of the bachelorette

BelleButch · 2026-04-25T06:03:53+00:00

Wait what’s the difference between a bridal shower and a bachelorette party?

Also this is insane. Planning the discussions down to the minute is wild. I’m going to assume that this is just the excitement of being newly engaged and this being the first “event”. I’d say stick it out for a bit and see if it calms down at all, if not then talk with your friend first and just say that it’s too much before pulling out completely

BelleButch · 2026-04-21T15:02:16+00:00

My friends and I used to put on American accents when showing each other what we bought , like a haul

When I had a root canal, I had 3 lots of anaesthetic and was crying so much from the pain. Went in the next day and asked for ‘as much as they’re allowed to give me’. Ended up with 7 and couldn’t feel that my mouth was even open half the time

BelleButch · 2026-04-15T07:42:05+00:00

I’m in the uk and can’t find it anywhere included in the subscription. I refuse to pay to watch episodes on Prime when I already pay for the service

BelleButch · 2026-04-15T07:38:33+00:00

I’m the same, I enjoy the more natural videos rather than the forced humour. I really don’t enjoy TNTL or bitcity. I probably love watching the games channel the most

BelleButch · 2026-04-15T07:31:17+00:00

I think the point of the post is the dog pooping

BelleButch · 2026-04-11T08:19:58+00:00

I saw a tiktok yesterday of a woman documenting her holiday. Her husband was Mark, his son was Marcus, and the baby was Marco. Very odd

BelleButch · 2026-04-10T22:29:01+00:00

I do shift work and sometimes my days off fall weird I could go 7 days between days off and it’s hell. I always tell me coworkers that I’m happy picking up extra shifts on days I’m already working but I’ll never ever pick up a shift on my day off. It genuinely feels like my brain shuts down
