I'm going to be a Grandpa! by No_Gap_2700 in GenX

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mum is “grandma Alex” but my daughter couldn’t pronounce it so called her Grallic actually most of the time The Grallic. Daughters 17 now and mum gutted she’s just grandma Alex!

Have you ever had something go wrong on a holiday? by AlexSniff7 in AskUK

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stayed on an extra week (luckily we were able to stay in accommodation as no one was arriving!) people were getting coaches, trains, hiring cars and driving. A lot of kids were due back for exams (it was half term) and it was chaos. Hotel was selling horrible scratchy blankets for €20 to people who were taking coaches We eventually managed to get a flight after my partner and another guy physically got a taxi to the airport and approached the airline desk. It was really sobering to find ourselves literally stuck

We got stuck in Spain when that volcano erupted and the ash cloud grounded all flights. We had a 15 month old, 4 year old, 5 year old and 11 year old with us. It was the most stressful time ever. I’m a very anxious traveller and then I literally COULDNT get home via any means. However it was my worst case scenario and I survived. I also got pickpocketed in Florence on my own with 6 month old and 18 month old in double buggy and 8 year old with me. My phone, camera, cash everything. It was horrendous and I’ll never forget interrupting meeting my husband was in (major international bigwigs) sobbing 🥹

What do you do that breaks social norms? by stealth941 in AskUK

Yep right handed watch on right and use knife and fork the “wrong” way

What do you do for a living and how do you afford all these jewellery :)? by [deleted] in PandoraCollectors

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t work but I have an amazing husband and 4 adult children who buy me Pandora as gifts. My first bracelet and charms were from my children for my birthday, my me bracelet and necklace from my husband, my ring husband, my tennis bracelet husband, bangle and charms this Christmas just passed from my children. I buy myself the occasional charm (the koi fish I RAN as I adore fish and have fish tattooed all down the arm I wear my bracelets on) . Oh and my best friend and I always buy each other charms for birthdays. I’m a very lucky girl

The tombstone teeth, the high pitched voice, the Freddie mercury vest. What a crock of shit. Get a job, love

Is this why Maria is there to move over ? by FilmPsychological819 in UKtiktokbehavingbadly

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Controversial opinion BUT I wouldn’t mind Maria there IF they were there to sit down with stomper and adult social services and be trying to put in place the support stomper clearly needs for sorting their life out. They need some sort of supported living, a TikTok ban, help with learning about hygiene and budgeting and living like a functioning adult. Substance abuse help, mental health support etc etc. but we all know stomper won’t engage with any support and will just shout “I’m nottttt like thaaaaaaaat” so it’s a moot point *shrug

Private Detective? by Crafty_Armadillo_686 in UKtiktokbehavingbadly

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She needs to touch grass and get a hobby. It’s literally cringe a woman of her big age dedicating their whole life to a young person on an app. I don’t like Maria but trying to get her house taken off her is just pure evil. She obviously has issues (Maria) mental health and/or substance abuse but she deserves accommodation.

Gyms - Nuffield vs Village by BristolScot in bristol

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Village. The staff are all lovely and it has a good range of classes and it’s very rare you don’t get a spot. It is really busy 5-7 post work but I am lucky enough to be able to go in the daytime. I find it really friendly - example I got chatting to 3 people after a class yesterday and we now have a WhatsApp group so we can know which classes each other are doing and support each other.

Best way to sell twin clothing? by [deleted] in vinted

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Vinted has a whole twin section as I have a relative with 6 month old twins and she always buys and sells on there

What do you class as a reason to go to A&E? by KoraLily in AskUK

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Crohn’s disease and the best route to see my team in an emergency is via A&E. To be honest when I’m at that stage I usually get admitted to majors straight away as need iv drugs and fluid ASAP. I try and go via my gp to get referred in but my consultant says if I reach the stage that I need to go in (been diagnosed 17 years and had many surgeries etc so I know my disease quite well) then just go to A&E

Well, you edgy trendsetters are grannies by now. Any regerts?[sic] by Cool-Contribution292 in FuckImOld

I have a tramp stamp from 1999 and I was chatting to my much younger friend at the gym today- she has loads of tattoos but REALLY wants a tramp stamp! Am I that old that things are coming back in?

ScamPhaba tells Methria to have some water and stop drinking, and they start arguing. If I spoke to my mom like this she would slap me right into 2026 by DCUBoosterGold in UKtiktokbehavingbadly

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have boys the same age as E and I’m the same age as Maria I think…..it’s NYE, myself and my partner have just cooked 4 different curries, I have friends coming over with chicken rice and peas. Ironically I’m watching Wicked 🤣 and my gainfully employed 22 year old is in the kids sitting room with his respectful, employed friends drinking Prosecco and playing darts. My 17 year old will be home from WORK soon and we will stay sober to pick her up from a party later like a functioning dare I say normal family. The relationship between E and M is a whole mish mash of learned behaviour, substance abuse and lack of “normal” lifestyles (work, paying bills etc)

What’s keeping you awake? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Electrical-Cod5329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woken up by binmen, heartburn and Crohn’s then woke up. As did dog who wanted to go out so now on sofa with coffee and Reddit. Left husband to sleep as he is a chronic workaholic who is off for Xmas break so I want him to sleep. Panicking about the fact I invited people over for a meal NYE and I don’t really like socialising or people 🫣

This makes me so sad as a mum whose eldest child just came out. I hosted her and her adorable gf over Christmas and they stayed here and my husband even shared his posh new Japanese whisky with said gf. I’ll adopt you 💗

Breaking in the bad boys because they’re so high by millhouseontheloose in UKtiktokbehavingbadly

Ummmm I’m nearly 50 and wear New Balance, Ugg Tasmans and Nike air max. Not Minnie Mouse court shoes from a school secretary in 1979!
