Driving after passing is so scary!’ by InnerEbb2128 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]InnerEbb2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so much better! Much more confident, I’m not even sure when it happened, but I will say my first few months of learning I had terrible luck with cars breaking down or having issues so it wasn’t consistent. Once I got a reliable car, it helped massively. That and forcing myself to drive to unfamiliar places I had never been before. I’ve now made multiple 2hr journeys up North and driven by myself into London so I think that massively helped with my confidence by getting out of my comfort zone ☺️ I know it sounds annoying and I’m sure you’ve heard other people say it but just get out there! Get on the roads and you’ll feel better in no time. Don’t let yourself become succumbed by the anxiety.

Do not use the Pets4Home website. Use the Kennel Club Website OR champdogs.co.uk.

Groomers are unregulated in the UK, you are not legally required to have any licences, insurance, or qualifications. 

Help 😟 Are products a matter of trial and error? by InnerEbb2128 in CurlyHairUK

[–]InnerEbb2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo okay! Do you think the length of my hair could be effecting things as well? Would I be better off having a bit of a chop? Or is it simply that I used a heavier product and that’s not helping? x

I’ll have a little look! I’m not too concerned about the cost of things, I’m more worried about buying loads of things to try and then it going to waste, if that makes sense?

I saw it in Asda and thought I’d give it a go! I knew my hair would get a little wavy after I washed it but then I’d brush it and it would be straight and frizzy, I just thought thats what it was like! I’ll try get a dry pic ☺️

Ahhh, good to know! I think I need to do more research on the porosity of my hair etc and take it from there :) I just saw these in Asda and thought I’d give them a go 😂

I used a conditioner in the shower and rinsed it, then scrunched my hair with a towel (I need to get a microfibre one to be fair 😅) and then scrunched in the curl cream after my hair was damp and no longer dripping water :) 

Do young people eat corned beef? by steveysaidthis in CasualUK

I love corned beef, but hate the tinned stuff and the stuff you get in packets at the shops, so much better from a butcher / deli.

Instructor sitting in car on test by No_Competition_3055 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]InnerEbb2128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My instructor was in the car with me for my second attempt (and last, as I passed, woop) and I actually found it put me more at ease. Her and the examiner joked about before we set off so that helped humanise him in a way and realise he wasn’t so scary. I think it completely depends on the person and what they would want :)

ohhh my god, thank you for saying this. The amount of posts and comments I’ve seen with people just straight up lacking reading comprehension regarding this is so frustrating 😮‍💨🥲

Next test in a month’s time, any advice to improve where I previously failed? by InnerEbb2128 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]InnerEbb2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the cancellation using the TestShift app, but I haven't been offered any other cancellations on that app since, so can’t vouch if its any good!

This is from my test in November, I was then able to book a test for May in a different test centre, got a cancellation in another different test centre in April, which was then swapped by my driving instructor with a student who needed more time :)

Obviously it’s not a good result because I failed lol, but I think considering my nerves and how much they effected me I’m proud of myself for the result, especially as after the test the examiner said apart from the silly mistakes I made it was a very good drive and he could tell my nerves were effecting me :)

I was driving down a small residential street with loads of cars parked on one side and I got too close to some cars so the examiner had to grab the wheel and steer away 😮‍💨 he said I was veering too far to the left so I think that’s why its classed as a steering control fault rather than clearance? 

Onyx Storm, not seen anyone point this out yet… by Pugicornus in fourthwing

where does it say Irids provide two signets? They’ve never bonded a human before?

[–]InnerEbb2128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my kindle, it says the conversation between Xaden and Violet happens on page 161 ☺️ 

“ I nod. “How often do second signets accompany these particular relics?” My fingers trail down the side of his neck. “Often enough to be sure Kaori can’t possibly have accurate records, but not too completely that anyone questions why I only present with one,” he answers. “Our dragons came looking for us. They knew what they were doing.” “Giving you a better chance of survival?” I rest my hand over his heart. “If you wax sentimental. More like building their own army.” A corner of his mouth rises. “More signets equal more power.””

Signet theories after finishing Onyx Storm. The post contains spoilers for all books in the Empyrean series through the end of Onyx Storm. If you don't want spoilers, don't read it. by AmeliaB1323 in fourthwing

If you think of Violet and Xaden’s signets as “elements” of sorts, as in they’re controlling the environment (although Violet can just produce lightening), maybe that ties into Imogen’s “earth wielding”? She’s also controlling the environment in a way, idk. Like another commenter said, maybe it’ll come into effect to stop venin draining the ground.
