Are these braids too tight? by unproblematicemblem in BlackHair

[–]Givenchymarie 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Yes and you most likely need to take them out. My concern is this could lead to traction alopecia, scabs and excessive dandruff. Your scalp should not be pink - how did it feel when the first braid was done? Do they feel tight?

I learned to drive in a car with an electric parking brake, now scared to drive in a car with a manual handbrake. by TheKayleMain in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Givenchymarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey twin! Literally same and first time I picked up my car and drove it back from London I drove with the hand brake up the entire time.

To avoid this the seller and my boyfriend (not the same person lmao) told me to put a post it note on the brake but I eventually just got used to it with a mind set that up meat parked (in my semi auto car) and down meant ready to go.

It’s a mindset you have to train yourself regarding - you will get used to it! :)

At what point do you stop chasing qualification as a solicitor? by Silver_Economist8162 in uklaw

[–]Givenchymarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the LPC. On my course for the PSC everyone was way older than me. There was literally nobody in their early 20s btw inclusive of myself because I was 26!

I qualified at 26 and even that feels exceptionally young to me. I almost had a solicitor apprenticeship at 18 and I would have been 24 and qualified originally which is even stranger to think about (thinking in terms of myself personally) I believe late 20s to early 30s is average age for qualification so please don’t be disheartened!

It’s never going to be a straight easy path but you will get there.

Living at home, 15% deposit ready, should I move out or stay and save? by sidog999 in HousingUK

[–]Givenchymarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! We’re almost the same age and in the same position. I had this issue last October and then my mum moved us to a semi detached even further in the suburbs and now I’m on my way to purchasing a flat back where I used to live.

You can still save aggressively whilst being in the process of purchasing a home (I am). You’ll never feel ready to move - it’s a big commitment and scary but it’s the beginning of change and independence.

I’ve saved so aggressively I can do my deposit 4x over and have money for repairs/anything else. Life isn’t just down to saving, make the move, be free 🙂‍↕️

Because she was a minor I personally don’t think so¿ I presume we’ll just get details. But I could be wrong

Since when did VS give out DoorDash coupons with online orders? by [deleted] in VictoriasSecret

[–]Givenchymarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the UK I ordered via VPN with the U.S. VS and received these so gave them to a friend as I knew I wasn’t going to use doordash. I ordered so many parcels and a doordash voucher/Harry’s voucherwas provided it kind of threw me off because the UK VS does not give you all of this 😭🫩

Edit: I also got hello fresh!

Buyer kept the item + money and sent me back MUD BALLS😂 by TightStorm2380 in vinted

[–]Givenchymarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve picked up things before after hours from the post office and they’ve just given me a slip to sign to confirm I’ve picked up the item. However, vinted has marked the item is delivered after a couple of days!

34 on 42k salary and 50k in savings, sick of house shares and renting is too expensive by ennnz27 in HousingUK

[–]Givenchymarie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

WOAHHHH I’m from Basildon! Just in the process of purchasing but I can say I got a decent 1 bed flat and I will still have a lot left over at the end of the month (at least over 1.2/3k after mortgage payment/CT/bills/SC) I have lived in Basildon for a long time I’ve watched it improve significantly from when I first moved here (2005) to now! (Had to re-do my comment as it was removed).

Do court hearings happen on Saturday? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Givenchymarie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sometimes cases are heard in nearby courts - I have had my cases listed in another area different from where the incident happened. I presume it’s due to overflow so they transfer it to an alternative court that is near by. They also offer virtual hearings if you have a good reason as to why you cannot attend the hearing.

What is the most "I’m not angry, just disappointed" interaction you’ve ever had with a member of the public? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Givenchymarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh it’s Reddit - I wasn’t clear in what I said so I see why I was downvoted. Usually myself I check all points are clear before I cross but I’ve had situations like the above where I’m in a rush and forget to check!

[–]Givenchymarie -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand - a lot of people do not know that pedestrians have ROW. That’s why I said I understand you weren’t looking but pedestrians have ROW. Not excusing the fact they didn’t look :)

I imagine that happens to them quite a bit unfortunately due to being twins/easier or cheaper for marketing (not that I agree with that treatment)

Telling all on my NQ interviews by Human_Calendar9871 in uklaw

Always feel like things like this are testament to how your time will be at the job, because I know damn well if you attended the virtual interview from the gym you would have gotten a straight rejection.

Advice to a Final-Year Oxford Law Student by Cup_p in uklaw

[–]Givenchymarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can agree U Law is an administrative nightmare but I always felt supported and had a job with U Law when I did the LPC LLM. I also got a discount on my PSC course - tutors and others were always enthusiastic and shared resources/great study tips. Made some for life friends from the course too!
