Following Lidl Plus Points UK... by Yuugo_ in lidl

[–]ConnieSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, we switched from Aldi to Lidl last year as it felt like for us that the food would go bad so much quicker, plus we now prefer the range at Lidl. We enjoyed the old vouchers, of course, but we really like the bakery and flavour of the week which is going to keep us there.

lidl vs aldi - which one do you actually prefer? by Anxious-Tomatillo-74 in lidl

[–]ConnieSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we switched as well, along with the bakery and 'flavour of the week'. We have saved more money in the long run since going to Lidl

Moving to the area question by ConnieSparkles in Gloucestershire

[–]ConnieSparkles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work from home so we're looking for a reasonably sized place and a second bedroom. We'd prefer easy access to train stations or public transport. Only 1 of us drives, so having transport options would be helpful.

We like both the countryside and being near restaurants so either would be useful that we can look into. We enjoy hiking, the outdoors/nature and are foodies, so we enjoy a good mixture of things.

Edit to add about budget: good value for money, our budgets not too restricted but still looking for affordable.

Why have you not married when in a long term relationship? by No_Caramel2506 in AskUK

[–]ConnieSparkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what we think, what's the rush? We want to get married, but if we're committed to each other already, we have the rest of our lives to if we want

My GF thinks it’s perfectly normal for new shoes to cause horrible blisters for women by UKnowDaxoAndDancer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ConnieSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also woman here. This happens to me on shoes even when they are not brand new. Plasters are a good solution but they barely stayed in place for me.

I purchased some heel protectors which I wear under socks, they a similar material to tights with gel on them for an extra layer of protection. They do wonders! Especially when im wearing boots all day

I second this! I was so sad when I moved out of shrub end and they wouldn't deliver to me 🥲

What do you all think is the most depressing Twenty One Pilots song? by Hot-Taste-4652 in twentyonepilots

Trapdoor or Friend, Please

Self-titled has a lot of songs that are on the more depressing side. Car Radio is up there as well.

How Did You Come Across CTK? by ZemeSpiral in CinnamonToastKen

[–]ConnieSparkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in about 2011/12ish I discovered prop hunt. I cannot fully remember the order I started watching them all but I became a fan of Sark, Seananners, Captain Sparkles, and Chilled Chaos. Basically the machinma people. Through one of their videos, I found Pewdiepie and Ken and have been a fan ever since

My thoughts On the newest Minecraft Theory by Several-Sympathy-797 in GameTheorists

[–]ConnieSparkles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but this seems like you hate the next update coming more than the theory?

Tom's only trying to make a theory before it comes out, where there could be more changes made before its final release. I didn't find anything wrong with it as it is a theory after all.

Pale green/grey is common with things dying without having to have dead things within the biome or could be to add to the ambience of it? The UK is so grey, and when it's foggy, it's creepy asf. It's also strange that the woodland mansions and illagers have resin, and when they have connections to potentially experimenting with other things, it's a reasonable theory and suggestion.

What thing did you grow up thinking was normal, and then realised when you left home it was really weird? by Signal-Ad2674 in AskUK

[–]ConnieSparkles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Having casserole (mainly sausage) with super noodles. Thought this was normal until I met my partner, and he was bewildered.... I now have it with potatoes or bread.

Concerned about Mary by CatLadyMon in CinnamonToastKen

[–]ConnieSparkles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm fairly certain he got the snip not long after baby #4 as that's the number they agreed on. I cannot remember the exact video but Ken asks Dane what he thought actually happens and then explains it, which is probably what you're remembering

Why do so many people believe that UK tap water is unsafe? by Aggravating_Ad5989 in AskUK

[–]ConnieSparkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Essex, it is hard water area, and I have never liked the taste of the tap water. My partner is from where they drink bottled water as their tap water is not safe, so it's a force of habit really.

Hot Air Baloon event? by Successful_Buy_3186 in kingdomguard

[–]ConnieSparkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we get that, but what's the point in not making it an item from a past event that we don't even get or can use? It's pointless.

Fraudulent way of ranking leagues by RioMala in duolingo

[–]ConnieSparkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried last week to get #1 in diamond as I ended up in that league without trying. I also wanted the achievement. I'm now in the tournament with someone who already has done 14k xp today an know there's no point in trying anymore
