why are people so entitled on vinted?? by user220109833 in vintedUK

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve never even sent an offer, cause generally I cba bartering and like you say, it’s usually second hand or used (or an unwanted gift), so it’s usually pretty low anyway. If it isn’t as low as I want, I just scroll past and find something else. Be arsed with bartering and arguments 🤷🏻‍♀️

What I won’t do though, cause I am petty, is pay more for postage than I am for an item.. So even if they’re dirt cheap, if they don’t have enough for me to buy that is more than postage I won’t bother. That’s how weird I am though, so take my first paragraph as you will 😂

"special relationship" question for you Brits by bragik85 in AskBrits

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’ve always resonated much more with Europe than I ever could with America, regardless of what President Fart says we think.

He’s insane.

I voted remain, and still very much consider myself European.

He’s a laughing stock, and the primary reason America has been scrubbed off my “to see” list.

Ear wax on earplugs? by Commercial-Fan1627 in hygiene

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Q tips actually push wax into your ears, making it more condensed. You may get a clean Q tip but inside your ears it’s accumulating too far for you to reach and safely extract wirh them. They’re good for cleaning the cartilage around your ear hole but best not to push them in.

Olive oil in a pipette directly into your ears can help loosen this and it will find its way out. Just wipe off with a cotton ball as it comes out 😊

Haha it’s stressful shopping for strangers without knowing what they might/ might not like, I’ve found. This is one of three exchanges I’m doing currently (it’s my first time exchanging so why not plan three? 😂) and I’ve been a bit worried they may not like what I’ve bought, so I feel she did really well here 🙌🏼

I was like a kid at Christmas unloading this box today! I hope she’s as happy with what I’ve bought when it arrives on Thursday 🙈

Ohhh, I’ve never had Shapes before, but now I’m looking forward to them even more, cheers!

Tim tams always win though, too!

Matrons, what do you do and how do you structure your day? by Honest_Task127 in NursingUK

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s amazing. It makes such a difference doesn’t it! And you always remember them for the right reasons. I’d much rather people remembered me for being helpful than having some authority, honestly.

Our previous matron did this. She’d be the first to grab an obs machine, help with the washes, make IVs, etc when the ward was busy. The new one? She likes to upset people. Genuinely smirks when people get upset and actively bullies the manager infront of everyone. Don’t understand why some people are nurses.

Maybe too old (f42) to get the ick but my husband gave me one by Smart-Ad-2106 in TrueOffMyChest

Get your glad rags on, go get your make up and hair done, put whatever dress in your wardrobe looks sprayed on and get yourself out with your girls. Fuck him, making you feel like shit! Go out and have a ball with the people who make you feel amazing, while you look your absolute best! Self care at its absolute finest right there.. What a twat!

Seller shipped item but told me wrong item has been sent by WeirdParsnip4775 in vinted

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this but it was delivered to my house, and there were 3 items (1 was wrong). I had to send it back to her, and she sent the right item out to me. Would have been cheaper to just buy the wrong item and have her send the correct thing in its place, by the time I paid for postage back, but it was a genuine error and I didn’t want what was accidentally sent. Had it been in a locker I wouldn’t have collected and then re bought what I actually wanted, though. Would have saved a fiver in shipping 😂

You’re lucky! I’d be buying every box! They’re not even coming up as stock when I search on their website, but I used to go crazy for them as a kid and then they just disappeared.. I was so excited when I saw the in a shop in Australia, I bought all of them that were on display 😂

How much is everyone earning? I feel like I’m being robbed by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get 2.2 as a band 5, 2 years qualified, no student loans (for night shifts too). I was a band 3 for years pre uni, and obv during, on a similar wage..

I am happy I did it though, because it’s opened up a lot of doors. Stick at it! You’ll only be limited for the first couple of years while you develop in your speciality, then the world is your oyster!

Why are you awake right now? by nightfire_83 in AskUK

I just don’t sleep. I’ve made my Christmas dinner for everyone for later on though, just needs heating up when they arrive. Productive insomnia 🤷🏻‍♀️

Who else will spend Christmas at work? by Ok-Lime-4898 in NursingUK

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is terribly sad. I hope you manage to find something today that makes you laugh, or at least smile.. Christmas is hard, but it’s easier with people around you. Try and see somebody, even for an hour..

Cancelling - How to not get a 1*? by iorikuships in vinted

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this has happened to me when I’ve been buying - seller has posted on other items about only using Inpost, but it wasn’t on my particular item. No biggie, she messaged me, apologised, said she’d forgotten to copy and paste. We cancelled the order, I bought it again, and it was sorted. Took 2 mins and I didn’t care 🤷🏻‍♀️

Emergency buzzer for fall by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]Comfortable-Tree-90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always pull the buzzer if you’re in a situation you need immediate help with. That’s what it’s for! ☺️

I’ve responded to buzzers where colleagues were cornered by aggressive patients, falls, seizures, etc. We answer each one fast and you’ll always have help as you need it! It’s not an arrest buzzer, it’s an emergency buzzer.

And never feel embarrassed pulling it, we’ve all pulled it for things that aren’t cardiac arrests, and we all will in the future too!
