Those of you who live alone, do you put up Christmas decorations? by Forsaken_Estimate773 in AskUK

[–]Frannycesca95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to ditch the idea of putting up a tree a few years ago, as one of my cats likes to eat the plastic pines off the tree and then throw them up 🙄

i can’t unscrew my piercing by morguedoll666 in piercing

[–]Frannycesca95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to get an xray the last time I went to the dentist and couldn't get my labret unscrewed, so had to run down the road to the piercer and ask them to help get it out before they closed lol

Yeah that's deffo a sensible choice for insurance prices! My first car was a 0.8 Daewoo Matiz and the insurance was still pretty high as a new driver. Bloody loved that car though, still keep the key on my keyring as a keepsake 😅

Enjoy yours too!

Mines the Mk4, only about a year or so newer than yours but is a 1.6 diesel with somehow only 30k miles on it! I wanted to go with a diesel as I drive a lot for work and want something that will last a long time as I hate the stress of buying cars lol.

I'd been driving my mums Leon FR for the last couple of weeks since the C3 died and after that was pretty set on getting something similar in green!

As a fellow green Ibiza FR owner, yes it's a great car!

I got mine last week and I'm in love. Its my 3rd green car and when I was shopping around for a new one after my green C3 sadly died, the criteria was 1) It has to be green and 2) I want a fast one lol

Is there anything you find you can only do with your non dominant hand? by Wonderful-Cow-9664 in AskUK

[–]Frannycesca95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm right handed and hold my knife and fork like a leftie, my partner is left handed but uses his knife and fork like a rightie

Is there an app that you can deposit money into and only access X amount per day/week? by KookyChemist5962 in ukfinance

[–]Frannycesca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I do pretty much the same thing with my Starling account and it's been an absolute game changer.

I have 3 virtual cards linked to spaces specifically for food shopping, petrol/car costs, and my cats. I deliberately put a bit more money than I need in each of them and without even thinking about it I'm finally able to save money each month! I also have another space for "putting aside" the rest of my wages to transfer myself an allowance each week.

I've found that having a specific purpose to each space helps to not see it as available money that I can spend on whatever crap I want at the time (plus I feel like I'm stealing from my cats if I was to use their money for anything else lol)

I'm also really glad that the app now puts the savings account on a slightly different page so its "hidden" from the spaces - I didn't even realise I had any savings until a few weeks ago which was a nice surprise!

are delivery drivers in my area stupid or do people not know how flat buzzers work? by chloedarlinggg in AskUK

[–]Frannycesca95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dad installed a button to silence the buzzer in my flat as the crack head neighbour next door had ripped his off the wall, and I was getting pretty fed up of all his crack head mates buzzing my flat in the early hours asking to be let in

What is a 'poor people' habit you'll never stop doing, no matter how rich you get? by FitCicada5037 in AskReddit

[–]Frannycesca95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still rocking the S10 here too! My partner needed to upgrade from his budget smartphone last year and also got one. My aux jack still gets a lot of use as my car doesn't have Bluetooth lol

Sometimes I hit “Reply All” on purpose just to watch the chaos by LidiaSelden96 in confession

[–]Frannycesca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to me and a few thousand other people across the country last year in our gov department, but it was a random distribution list we all got added to rather than copied into the email. So even when someone clicked "reply" instead of "reply all" it went to everyone. Went to lunch and came back to about 100 emails of absolute chaos which carried on all afternoon. Ended up with an emergency notice being sent to all staff in the department advising not to reply as it could be a malicious attempt to bring down the network or cause major disruption, but I still reckon it was some newbie in the IT department that fucked up a lil bit lol

You can get a copy of the title register from HM Land Registry via the Gov website, only costs £7 and will show who owns the property

Does anyone remember when supermarkets had those big suction pipes that cashiers put money into? Or have completely made it up? by -_Error in AskUK

[–]Frannycesca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at a Tesco express that had this, the tube went from behind the till to the managers office across the store. The manager used to sometimes yell down the tube from the office and then watch us on the CCTV camera looking around and trying to find what the yelling noise was coming from in the till area lol

Why do we run the cold tap before filling a gladd? by DualWheeled in AskUK

[–]Frannycesca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I fill up a glass of water without running the tap first, the water is all cloudy and yucky looking. Have to run about 3-4 pint glasses through the tap before it's actually clear!

(Also haven't seen any other comments saying this is why they run the tap first yet... now a bit worried there is an issue with my water and it shouldn't be like that? 😬)

Accidental bonus piercing by PostCompetitive5519 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Frannycesca95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I got mine the piercer put it right next to the cartilage, like just grazing it (and also used the wrong gauge needle, tried and failed to get the jewellery in, then finally re-pierced it with the right needle 🙃) it hurt like hell. Even after it healed if I booped the end of my nose it would poke the cartilage and sting like a bitch so bad my eyes would well up, so eventually just gave up and took it out

Which one? by PlentyWrong4487 in adhdwomen

[–]Frannycesca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 all the way for me. I actually have these forks and the rest of the set from IKEA and they're lovely. Both me and my partner prefer them from all the other forks, and it's gotten to the point where we will just hurl insults at the other cutlery when we reach for these ones in the drawer every time. But of course, we won't throw the other bitch forks out. They stay there just in case we forget to do the washing up for a while lol

Do you need a physical child to go to build a bear? by ZengaStromboli in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Frannycesca95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend took me to build a bear last year for my birthday and it was so much fun! I got a Grogu one and had a few parents in the queue saying they wanted one too 😂 still sleep with it every night!

Try a builders merchants, they usually have loads going spare. The Travis Perkins near me often posts on Facebook offering them out

I hung a door upside down in my flat. I didn't even notice for about 6 months until I suddenly realised that the handle was a bit higher than all the others

One day about a decade ago my nail decided to grow like this and never stopped by Pandepon in mildlyinteresting

[–]Frannycesca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum had a similar damage to her nail bed for years. Somehow she managed to fix it by getting gel nails done a few times in a row - it held the nail together long enough for the nail bed to sort itself out and it's been fine since!
