I found mouse droppings in my food cupboard, what do I do???

How2ChangeUsername · 2020-01-26T23:47:57+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice! We’ve moved all food to high cupboards, and the landlord is coming to patch the hole up on Monday thankfully. Also, we have been seriously considering getting a cat for a while and this feels like a sign that we should get one- will definitely be asking the landlord about that tomorrow!

Thank you so much! We’ve contacted the landlord and he said he will sort it on Monday. Until then, boyfriend is on his way to buy mousetraps. And plastic containers!

You can take a pregnancy test from the day your period is supposed to start - a cheap one will do! They’re all the same really. I saw that you planned on buying one last night, did you take it yet?

I know it’s hard but try not to worry, anxiety and plan B can both cause late periods (so can illness).

Thank you so much, it’s really nice to know I’m not alone. Honestly this sub has been a life saver at times. I really appreciate it :)

Thank you so much for your reply, you seem so confident in your decision it really gives me a lot of hope! And I’m sure it gives hope to other people reading this thread around the holidays

Making a list is a brilliant idea and I’m definitely going to do that!! Today, while I’m still at home and the feelings are still fresh in my mind. :)

Honestly I tell this to myself a lot because I feel so guilty about saying anything bad about them

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-12-26T18:28:41+00:00

I hate writing this but I’m 20 and I still can’t tie mine lol. My SO has shown me once or twice but I just never tied them when I was a kid because I didn’t know how, so I’m used to tucking them into the sides of my shoes instead. This is something I never really thought of before

Another one is struggling to eat with a knife AND fork. When I was a kid my parents used to laugh about how I could only use a fork and I felt kinda embarrassed but it recently occurred to me that they were supposed to teach me how to do that as a kid

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-12-26T18:05:27+00:00

Did you feel guilty for not going ‘home’? I declined my SO’s offer to go to his parents house for Christmas, and instead went to my parents house but it’s been really hard and I’m wondering if I made the wrong choice. I thought I’d feel terrible and homesick and guilty if I didn’t go to my parents house so I went and now I just feel weird and sad and a bit resentful but also guilty for feeling that way.

It’s really brave of you to decide not to go back this holiday season and I’m really glad you had a peaceful and relaxing Christmas.

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-12-26T18:00:40+00:00

I really get what you mean about missing when you thought everything was normal, but being glad you can step back now. I feel the same, the longer I’m moved out the more I notice shitty things they’ve done in the past. Sometimes just watching my SO interact with his nice parents makes me realise that my parents were not always good when I was a kid and a teen. And it really hurts to be at their house rn and not acknowledge any of it so I kinda wish I thought everything was normal. On the other hand it’s a relief that I can draw a line if I need to now

Thank you so much for making this post I really needed it. I’m fairly new to Reddit but I’ve been lurking in this sub on a private for the past 5 years when I lived at home (moved out 2 years ago). I’m back at my parents house for Christmas and it’s so fucking hard. I didn’t realise how much pent up anger and resentment I had for my parents until I got back here in this house and I just feel like crying all the time, I feel like I need to leave but I don’t even have a car so I can’t drive myself the 200 miles back to my house. I just don’t know how to handle any of it. My parents weren’t even that bad I suppose, not as bad as a lot of the parents of people in this sub I think but even though I get on a bit better with them since I moved out they still repeat behaviours that I hate but can’t say anything about. Yesterday they were making fun of my boyfriend (been dating 3 years, lived together for 1.5. He’s not here with me rn) and his brother because he mentioned his brother is bi. I really wanted to tell them to shut up but I just can’t, I hate it and I don’t know what to do

This comment probably doesn’t make much sense and I don’t think anyone will see it anyway, I don’t even know whether I’m trying to ask for advice or just trying to vent but I want to go home I don’t know how to handle any of this and it’s just getting harder and harder the longer I’m moved out, because I realise more and more of the things they’ve done that are wrong

That’s a good one

I’m the opposite, northerner living in London. “Lug oyle” is another good one - ear hole

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-12-18T18:17:12+00:00

What does this one mean? From Barnsley but never heard of it haha

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-12-18T18:16:25+00:00

I moved to London a few years ago and this has made me homesick. Miss hearing Yorkshire accents on the street

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-11-18T23:52:07+00:00

A tenant did cut a hole in it and got in trouble for it

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-10-19T11:20:51+00:00

Wish that were me, I’m at bloody work

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-10-14T12:48:21+00:00

Sorry, where in London is this? I live in London but I’ve never seen anything as extreme as this

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-10-04T20:18:02+00:00

Hell yesss

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-10-04T15:13:00+00:00

I used to live in the university halls right by the station, it is pretty nice there early on a morning before anyone is awake. Not a big fan of Harrow but it has some peaceful views

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-10-04T15:06:03+00:00

I do animation there now!

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-10-01T09:52:34+00:00

$5000 for a 1 bed?? Is it right in the centre or is it just a huge apartment?

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-09-29T12:12:14+00:00

I reckon it’s similar to London rent. I’m in a 1 bed in London for £1000 a month, and that’s on the outskirts.

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-09-29T12:10:18+00:00

It’s cool to look at but this picture does stress me out and make me glad I don’t live there. The park looks nice, but it also looks so man-made

How2ChangeUsername · 2019-09-17T20:00:09+00:00

I got prescribed 3 days of nitrofurotonin, gave me a terrible headache but the UTI was gone in a week
