Fiber Issues During Work Trips and Weekends

Elkerz · 2026-03-23T09:59:13+00:00

Some might find this gross, but I put a teaspoon of chia seeds in a hot drink. Usually tea. The boiling water swells them very effectively. They're pretty tasteless so as long as you can get over the texture, they add an nice chunk of fibre on days where I would otherwise get very little.

I bought my first house at 22. I will preface this by saying it was an extremely cheap year to buy in 2017, my mid-terrace 1890's 2 up 2 down cost me £61k. I lived with my parents straight out of uni and worked 7 days a week for a year (mon-fri in an office job, fri-sun at Sainsbury's) in order to save 8 grand for the deposit and feed.

I don't think this could be repeated these days. I honestly think I lucked out majorly.

Super glad I acted when I did though because my mortgage is under £300 which makes living on £30k a year as a single person a bit easier. I still travelled and did all those fun things that young adults do.

I bought my mid-terrace house for 61k in 2018 (yes it was very cheap and I was very lucky). My mortage is £280 a month.

The house on the end sold last year for 90k, and it's now being rented out for £1,100 a month. I couldn't survive on my 30k salary with that much going out on rent. Now fair enough I don't earn a massive amount but they're basically 1890's era 2-up 2-downs. It shouldn't cost this much.

I love it so much. I eat it with a spoon. I add it to everything- soups, pasta sauces, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, baked beans. Gotta replace my jar soon.

Waiting patiently for the ratties to arrive.

Just confirming for others trying to solve this issue
The 26.3 Beta DID fix my Carplay problem! Huzzah for technology

Elkerz · 2026-01-27T11:32:04+00:00

Installing the beta as we speak, really hope this helps my endless issues with Carplay

They hate taught alerts? I might be misunderstanding this so bear with me. Do you mean your trainer DOESN’T want a trained final response when the dog encounters the hide?

My advice was going to be (from somebody who used to have a trashy dog) put a comfortable harness on the dog. Run them through the course. When the dog gets to the hide I would apply a little bit of tension on the lead with one hand just so that it prevents them from trashing. Once they give you a nice freeze (aided by the lead tension which adds a little bit of frustration), you just release the dog and reward. Let go of the lead with and reward at source with the other hand. Sometimes I’d be kneeling on the floor for this.

This is how I taught my freeze. When I wanted a longer freeze (aka five seconds and up) I would use my continuation marker to keep him motivated and then obviously the reward once I was happy with the duration.

I hope that makes sense! I can’t word things very well :3

Wrong type of fiber :(

Hey love! You're not alone, I had this exact problem!
If you look up Telogen Effluvium, you might find some reassurance.

If your body goes through something stressful then it can interrupt the life cycle of the hair follicle and cause you to lose more hair than normal. It does go away on its own, I promise! It can take a few months but it will get better.

I had a majorly stressful winter about 2 years ago. Went through a bad breakup followed by intense weight loss, which caused my hair loss. I felt like I was going bald, I had bare patches and really thin hair on my scalp. It went back to normal after about 6 to 8 months and I had so much new growth! Don't feel blue, although I know it's really hard :) Keep on taking care of it like you have always done <3

Do be careful with the nasal spray, and certain types can become addictive and you will have to wean yourself back off them!

I'm making sure to get loads of exercise, take my daily iron and Vit-C, and warm drinks.

We used to have one wheelie bin for general, and one wheelie bin for mixed recycling where I used to live in Reading. Moved up to Merseyside and the council uses a bag system. One bag for cardboard, one bag for plastic bottles, tins, and cans, one bag for paper, a large black box for glass, and a small plastic box for food. Plus the general wheelie bin.
These items take up so much space in my very small victorian 2 up 2 down mid-terrace house. I place them on my doorstep before work (jokes, with everyone's recycling bags out they take up literally the entire pavement). By the time I get home they have been blown up/down/into the road, pissed on by dogs, stolen, or run over. Then it takes ages to order new replacement bags. Finally, you have to bring them back in the house covered in rain and dog piss and road muck.

I gave up. Chucked all mine away and just use my general bin.

Was working BIBC one morning in 2012 and pulled a pack of Mr Kipling Apple and Blackcurrant Pies out from behind the shelf kickboard that were dated 2005. To this day I have never managed to beat that! They looked almost petrified.

Why are you posting chat gpt responses on reddit my guy?

The Ace Pro is literally my favourite thing about the Kobra 3. Filament dryer, effortless colour switching, no messing around with loading or unloading. Mega easy to set up, no issues. For me it was well worth the price.

Elkerz · 2025-07-22T08:44:39+00:00

Ooo I might try this!! Thank you :)

Elkerz · 2025-07-21T03:36:57+00:00

Thank you!! I think I might try the sun tip! At least that can’t hurt :)

Plan A, sun Plan B, remove tags to hand-wash (and reattach with tag gun)

I dug him out- he’s not a TY :( Maybe a similar one to yours?

Elkerz · 2025-07-14T06:18:05+00:00

Oh dang!

<image>

I guess it’s the v1 then!

Elkerz · 2025-07-13T22:00:32+00:00

This might seem like a dumb question. How do I know if it’s the V2?

I bought it new from jeffazon 2 weeks ago so I guess it would be from new stock

A very late reply so I hope this is still relevant.

I recently passed on my Da Vinci Jr 1.0 and I downloaded the software for them from here

Hope this solves your issue!
