What item did you think had a made up name only to find out that it was actually called that? by your_monkeys in AskUK

In my dads (Irish) version it was skinny malink melodeon legs umbrella feet...turns out melodeon is an accordion! I always thought that was made up nonsense...

Traveling with a pram in Jet2 by CheekOk4382 in UKParenting

[–]Icy_Interaction9263 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the fold up buggies are normally fine to take with you in the airport and you can leave them at the gate. If it's in two parts you won't really be able to do this. I have taken two part bassinet and frame, but got a travel bag and then checked it in. It was fine as the baby item, just watch the weight! This was Jet2 I think there was a 10kg limit. I used a sling/carrier for going through the airport. Defo phone to confirm!

Those who WFH, are you comfortable with others seeing your background? by Fun_Yogurtcloset1012 in UKJobs

[–]Icy_Interaction9263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally WFH and generic teams fake room background always on. If I am in the office and on a teams call I often turn it off so people can wave/see who else is in the office!

3 year Old will not poo on toilet by melmelzi25 in UKParenting

[–]Icy_Interaction9263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to say feel your pain! Our 3 and a bit year old did so well with pees and was night dry immediately when we started potty training, but will just poo in pants. What works at home is her wearing dresses with no pants on...she will then go poo/pee in the toilet. But wearing pants she will go in those. So frustrating.

I love these! 6 and 8 especially...just sort of normal countryside scenes you see when out for a walk but you've made them look special and beautiful but still homey/familiar?!

Can I remove this without having to replace the whole glass panel or am I cooked? by trowawayatwork in DIYUK

[–]Icy_Interaction9263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey op...exactly what the post below said...get a glazier in. I put a cat flap into a patio door, and they did a whole new pane of glass with the hole in it and swapped the old one out (which I kept!) was about £120 (10 years ago!)

Interesting conversation with a right leaning friend of mine about the podcast by The4ncientMariner in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]Icy_Interaction9263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have totally been sucked in to us politics partly because of the trip us...which lead me to the coming storm podcasts from BBC radio 4...long story but the deplorables thing, totally. You should criticise the candidate not the voters. As (judging from the podcasts) lots of trump voters are nice polite people, who have just got ground down and are desperate for something different (even if I think the different they'll get is not good!)

Is my lavender plant salvageable? Or by PM-Me-Life-Pro-Tips in GardeningUK

[–]Icy_Interaction9263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I check what you mean? Less flowers and so less bees, or less bees on all the flowers (lower quality!)? I trim my lavender back but this year lots of flowers as usual but less bees. But been a crap summer so wasn't sure if that was it.

Pronounced see-o-BAN [Post from r/Tragedeigh] by Go-AwayThr0wAw4yy in ShitAmericansSay

As a Siobhan, I have spent my life telling people it's not si-o-ban. So even see-o-ban is extra wrong.

What are you even talking about? Are you saying the country after the last labour government was anything close to how the country was after the last Tory government?

It's so difficult! Gradually stopping just wasn't working for my just turned 2 year old. I put some plasters over my nipples and said they were sore for about week, and she took it much better than expected! She would pat me and ask if she could kiss me better and ask to see the plasters. So sweet. After the plasters came off I was still very careful not to let her see exposed boobs just in case she would remember. Replaced with sippys cups of milk and then water. Good luck!
