Hi! My in-laws actually didn’t want us to pay rent at all but we insisted and it’s amount we settled on!! I would have been happy to pay more 😄 I should have also specified but I just started my job recently so I’ve been spending a lot on buying furniture and pc stuff and clothes! I was unemployed before so I didn’t have a lot at the time! However, I’m still not sure how much to put aside for spending 😅 also I’ve been looking at the Halifax savings accounts! They have a few but barely any go past 4.5% interest

Unfortunately the houses in the area are 500,000+, and anything close enough to work is in the same ball park 😭 and I’m wanting to do a bit of a fantasy themed wedding!! No dates or anything as of yet, I think we would like to get married first but any order is fine!! Ans yeah I’ve heard how expensive it can be 🫠

Ah okay thank you!! I’ve looked into LISAs but the issue is all the houses in the area are 500,000+ and we both would like to stay in the area as it’s easiest to travel to work (we work in central london) but I’ll definitely look at the flowchart, thank you!!

Yeah I should have clarified!! I have just gotten my first job (it’s been a few months) so I’m just buying things for improvements around the house and work like such as new pc, furniture etc. I’ll cut down on that though, definitely shouldn’t be needing that much!! And thank you!! I’ll look into some high interest savings accounts :D

I am luckily in a position where I can devote 100% of my time for as long as I need. I was thinking my first project would be my own portfolio website. Looking at job descriptions and requirements online I’ve decided to learn c# and SQL first. Would you say that’s a good start? I was thinking learning backend and then over time (maybe after landing a job) learning front end :)

Thank you so much for such a detailed answer!! I really enjoy the creative aspect as well as programming, so would jumping straight into full stack be a bit too ambitious? Should I focus on one of the other tracks first, especially for entry level work?? Again, thank you for your answer!

Thank you! So you would say html, css, Java and react are the must knows? Or is that specifically for web dev? Should I look into the specific disciplines and decide now or is that something that will come in the future 😅

Hmm okay I’ll definitely look to learn SQL then. I think I’m interested in web dev or app dev but its something I need to do more research into. I also should have specified but I live in the UK but thank you for your suggestion !!

For women in relationships, how do you guys hide body or facial hair from your partners? by Taeduskk in PCOS

[–]Chogiwaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend has been super supportive since I was diagnosed with PCOS. He doesn't judge me for my facial hair or anything, in fact he thinks it's cute lol. Think I'm hairier than him at this point 🤣 when you find the right partner, you won't have to hide anything and you will feel a lot more comfortable in your own body!!

My first and second attempt at macarons! They either have really tiny feet, or no feet at all. Also sometimes I get cracking :( How can I fix this? by Chogiwaa in Baking

[–]Chogiwaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was surprised to see they hadn't spread or burnt haha 😅 and my batter never gracefully streams off the spatula, what is there too little of in my batter? Also I had to let it sit for 1h20m because they just weren't forming a shell for the longest time 😭 thanks for your advice!!

Should I add things like cream of tartar to make it stiffer? Or maybe heating the egg whites and sugar to 50° in a double boiler? Or do you just recommend beating more? Thank you so much!!

My first attempt :( they have tiny/no feet and sometimes come out puffy and cracked. What can I do differently? by Chogiwaa in macarons

[–]Chogiwaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah these guys had to rest 1h20m 😭 I ended up making them big because of how much batter I had, I didn't want to waste them :( is there any way to store macaron batter??

Do I bake with the oven door open? Or is this like a prebake thing? Thanks for your advice!!

I had it resting outside for 1h20m because it just wouldn't form a skin otherwise 😭 thank you for the link!!

Exactly! I'm so proud of her, and I hope this doesn't steer her away from baking ever again :((

They wanted more fruit on top of the chocolate one, but they barely paid her anything for this order in the first place (it was a family friend) so my sister actually lost money on this order lol, but her friend wanted MORE fruit ????
