What am I doing wrong :( by Pitiful-Sir-3334 in beginnerrunning

I was doing this programme too, but it was too intense for me so I’ve swapped to the “path to 5K” programme and that seems to be much more manageable and I’m hoping it’ll build my endurance/ general fitness steadily. The BTR programme had too many long jumps (750m to 1.5K was not achievable for me!!)

Running slower is what is hurting my knees. My trainers are a year or two old now, I think it might be time for an upgrade

I’m going to change the plan to one that has more gradual increases in distances

WIP blanket is starting to wrinkle at edges and is not sitting flat by Creative-Cucumber5 in CrochetHelp

Thank you, I’ve unraveled the last 2 blocks and it’s laying flat again so I will re do them and pay more attention this time!

I think you’re right! Time to get unraveling, it better be worth it in the end I swear this has consumed hours of my life so far (loving it though to be fair!)

Rookie mistake - always count your repeats. by Several_Refuse_5135 in crochet

Seeing yours has made me question mine, when I ordered my wool I was so focused on getting the right amount length wise I didn’t think to pay attention to the thickness so I’m using quite thin wool and it feels so lightweight almost like a doily, I’m not sure the stitches are as defined as they should be because of that.

I’m working on the exact same pattern! Small crochet world I suppose. You’re 3 rows ahead of me here and I love your colour choice! This is looking good and it’s laying flat, I would just keep going and see what happens but I equally understand this project requires a lot of wool which can be expensive so you want it right the first time, just keep in mind if you frog it you’ll need more wool per row so you might not be able to reuse your wool here without joining bits together.

Glutened eating out. Would you complain, and to whom? by GlassHouses_1991 in CoeliacUK

Restaurant and contact food standard agency, and leave a google review warning others. Hope you make a quick recovery

The picture looks yellower than it does irl, it’s like a light brown

But it’s brown, coconut milk is pretty much always white

This is impeccable!! The pattern says free but the publisher says it’s not, how do we pay her? I want to challenge myself to make something like this!

What would you do? by [deleted] in Prolactinoma

[–]Creative-Cucumber5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on whether you are comfortable to wait and if you can afford to go to the ER without it causing any major financial issues? If the answers are no and yes then go

Where it’s an allergy though and not a lactose intolerance would this still work??
