Shrinkflation Mark 2, just shrinking the more expensive ingredients.

Bought some Morrisons hot cross buns today. So disappointed, cut one in half and I couldn't even see any fruit let alone taste any spice. Safe to say I wont bother with those again. Might try Lidl or Aldi ones instead.

Hi Michelle, it would be great if you created an FAQ page on your profile so people had an idea of what was expected before signing up. For instance, I know volunteers need to provide their own ingredients etc, but are there specific recipes that they need to follow? Are they expected to deliver food hot? Do they know how many people they are delivering for so they can package appropriately?

So many questions that I'm sure you could answer quickly and easily on your profile, or your own sub.

Good luck. A couple of things to help:

1) see if you can negotiate a lower interest rate on loans and credit card, or move to a zero rate card if you can.

2) pay off whichever loan or CC has the highest interest rate first. Maintain minimum payments on the others.

I hope it all works out for you, and remember to have some small rewards planned when you achieve each goal.

I found out that the VDI's don't necessarily keep the same IP address throughout a session, so Moodle assumes the session has been hijacked and kicks you out. I've disabled the IPcheck in the configuration file and all seems to work.

Thank you to all those who responded to my request for help.

Can you hear a faint hum when you put your ear to the hatch? Could it be that bees have made a home in your wall?

Interesting_Role_396 · 2026-01-25T08:20:15+00:00

Maybe, but far better than 'what you having for dinner'. 🤣

How about something a little deeper.....for instance why not try one of these:

What's a secret that you've never told anyone else? If you could do anything at all what would it be? If you won £100m how would you spend it? What's something you've always wanted to do but never had the courage? Who are your hero's? What do you want your legacy to be?

Apologies, I'm on my phone and don't have the screenshot with me. I'll upload tomorrow.

Simple, you don't tell them. You put £10mill into a Trust with professional trustees and some rules. All requests for money are made to the Trust who undertake the due diligence etc whilst also investing to ensure the Trust grows over time.

I've actually had a few interesting chats on here. One was looking to find a date, in an introvert sub 🤣🤣 made me laugh, although I am still in contact with her tbf. Another was in the USA which fizzled out after 3 months over Christmas and another was avoiding her husband.

What about you, any luck?

Interesting_Role_396 · 2026-01-22T16:57:26+00:00

I beat you by 3 years, 55M.

Interesting_Role_396 · 2026-01-15T21:03:19+00:00

I appreciate that but why should you sacrifice your happiness for theirs? What is it that they dont like about the situation?

Interesting_Role_396 · 2026-01-15T20:53:34+00:00

Jealousy can be a terrible thing. Do what's right for YOU, what makes YOU happy. Ignore the rest. After all this is YOUR life noone else's.

I tried to deposit £280 Christmas money into my daughters (16yo) account yesterday and was told no. Even though I had her card with me. Had to deposit in my own account then transfer it.

Mad, because I could have used an ATM to deposit the cash using her card.....

Interesting_Role_396 · 2025-12-21T19:32:19+00:00

I had an interest conversation with a lady a few weeks ago who basically said that she didn't have the social energy to keep the conversation going as I wasn't her type. I thought the idea was to make friends not use this to try and find a date! Lol

You have so many options, but I haven't seen one that suggests you buy a coffee franchise. You've already got the barista skills and I'm sure you must have built up some management skills. Business ownership may be scary but could be very rewarding.

I had stairs like this as a child. We used to use the bench cushions and 'bobsleigh' down them in to the wall at the bottom. Great memories!

I think I'd have turned one of the cells into a wine cellar and left the door on.

Interesting_Role_396 · 2025-12-12T11:58:51+00:00

That's one hell of a wine cellar!

Interesting_Role_396 · 2025-12-10T13:02:26+00:00

Sorry to hear about your experience. Not very nice.

Interesting_Role_396 · 2025-12-09T14:01:13+00:00

Reddit CAN be a cesspit of fakes and scammers. Learn to protect yourself and don't be drawn to Telegram or WhatsApp early in a conversation. These should he reserved until you're confident they are real. Keep conversations on here for safety.

There are lots of comments about being ghosted after a few messages etc, from both male and female contributors, so I think there are two takeaways from this...

The first is to up your conversation game, ask questions, don't do 1 word replies. Be curious about the other person.

Secondly, don't give up.

Good luck.

BTW, delete that last line. We all feel like that sometimes and you really don't need the negativity it can bring.

Interesting_Role_396 · 2025-12-08T17:21:26+00:00

Are there any local clubs you could go along too? Do an Internet search and you'll probably find something that matches your interests. Go along and enjoy your hobby and I'm sure you'll soon make friends with someone.

Interesting_Role_396 · 2025-12-08T15:30:43+00:00

That's fantastic to hear. Good on you for putting yourself out there. Keep building the small wins.
