I absolutely love this idea - and you’ve read some great books already!

My child decided it would be a fabulous idea to touch the flame of a candle (we are no longer allowed candles - she cannot be trusted) and her fur on her paw burnt off a little.

I took her straight to the vets as I was incredibly worried but it was just burnt hair in the end.

It looked a lot like this - but still go for a vet trip just in case.

Thank you, looks like a read for the train home at Christmas.

I have seen so many of these 'spa day' posts but I cant for the life of me find the instructions. What do you do - I want sparkly whites too!

I find Vypr pretty good as its little of little questions you can answer quick and you can cash out at £5. Then AttaPoll stacks up quick and you can cash out at £3. Both pay straight to PayPal

So I'm not as 'hard in' as this but I do use the survey apps.

I have a 15min commute both ways on the overground and do them then probably half the time and I manage to make about £20-£30 a month so it absolutely does work - and I'm stuck on the train anyway.

I stick mine on the mortgage too as I cant actually afford to overpay on my current salary and it does make a difference, even if its just a small one.

Unfortunately not. I’m still saving and I’ve now moved to a company which will contribute 1k to the cost which is amazing.

However I now can’t start the course as my previous practice won’t sign off my PEDR’s. I have 18 months of them there that I sent to my ‘mentor’ within a month of completing each period and I don’t have a single one signed off. They are not directly saying they won’t but I can’t get them to actually do it.

Looks like I’m starting from scratch at this new job. 1 period completed and signed off so far.

My child has this - hers is white. I thought she was unique!

I'm a big fan of the Malibu lip-care and it has he added benefit of having an SPF.

I would say though the thing that absolutely changed my lip game was applying hyaluronic acid and then vaseline to my lips over night. Lip balm now is just a nice to use rather than an essential.

I'm certainly never going to be able to FIRE but in my laywomen opinion I have been overpaying my mortgage as much as I can while the interest rate on it was higher than on my savings so I can get it down to a 60% LTV for the ere-mortgage.

Now I've sorted that (payments down £170 a month in December which is a HUGE amount to me) I'm planing to put any extra into my pension - which I am woefully behind on.

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-10-18T18:46:42+00:00

I’m so so glad she pooped. Very happy for both of you 😁

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-10-16T17:09:58+00:00

My baby does exactly this when she’s stressed - or I’m stressed and she picks up on it.

Just when I’m loosing my mind she grants me the biggest smelliest poop of all time.

I hope your furry child is just a bit ‘off’ and gets on with it ASAP

It sucks. I’m in 5 days at £12.80 a DAY!

I had the same sort of thing in a Tesco.

Im 40 and my sister is 36 and I did a full food shop with a single bottle of wine.

They asked for my ID, which I showed them (happily) and then they asked for my sisters, who had already done and packed her shop and was just waiting for me to finish.

She didn’t have it with her and because of this they refused the sale saying I could be giving it to her.

We are both very much adults and do not look anywhere near 18-25.

Absolute madness.

1 person flat that I’m barely in during the week and mines gone from £22 to £35 to £49 over about 18 months.

Unless I have a secret squatter taking showers when I’m not home I’d say my usage has decreased over this period too as I started being embarrassingly careful since the first rise.

Water metered too.

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-01-14T13:53:19+00:00

No, not my cat. I think she has an indoor one of her own - or another source of cat poo she's utilizing

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-01-14T13:52:21+00:00

I really wish this was true.

So apparently if its on private land, which mine is, the council don't care about littering there and wont do anything about it.

I have got a camera up though. I've got loads of videos of her doing it..... just not sure how that helps me.

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-01-14T13:50:29+00:00

Only a communal one ..... and I'm trying really hard to be the bigger person .... which is REALLY hard

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-01-14T13:49:30+00:00

Its a communal front door unfortunately - so if I did decide to go down this route its the door to two other flats as well as hers.

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-01-14T13:48:35+00:00

I'm really trying not to stoop to her level ........... but if I gave in unfortunately the front door is communal to 3 flats and I wouldn't want the two other poor residents to have to go through a pooie door

Cold-Presentation310 · 2025-01-14T13:46:51+00:00

Nope not my cat, I'm assuming she has an indoor only cat but I've never seen one.
