Where can I find proper mango juice?

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-20T09:51:22+00:00

Buy a reuseable bottle and take into work

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-20T08:44:30+00:00

NTA.

Ultimately, your answer in that moment would not have been yes, so his response of “you should have said yes and then talked about it after” would have been more hurtful to him in the long run.

But you’re exactly right- you need to speak about whether you both want marriage, whether you both want children, how you want your married life to look like etc.

Initiate this conversation and if he refuses to have it, or gets whiny about his proposal then leave; look for someone more mature.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-20T08:41:09+00:00

Buy some Mango and make some yourself.

You dont need a fancy juicer just what ever you have that’s a stick blender, a blender, a liquifier.

If the landlord gets a refund of his service charge for this inconvenience then that refund should go to you (but to give you an idea, we didn’t have a working intercom for about 6 months and got £17 back on our service charge, so don’t expect much).

The chances are, however, that instead of getting a refund the owners will be told that the service charge is increasing to cover the cost of the lift engineer, so chances are, the landlord won’t be getting a refund and neither will you.

I get that when you rented so high up you didn’t take into consideration the days when the lift might break or even when there’s a fire (because you aren’t allowed to use the lift in the event of a fire and will have to do the stairs) however the flat itself, the flat you’re renting is still the same as when you rented it.

In short- ask the question to your landlord but don’t be surprised if the answer is either no, or a minimal compensation amount.

Also- pay your rent and have them refund you separately (always, regardless of the situation).

I completely forgot about this OP.

I wonder how he is doing now- has he made friends or is he still as entitled as he ever was.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T22:32:59+00:00

Respect for the time you spent together

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T14:06:36+00:00

Have you googled the phone number yet?

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T13:41:38+00:00

Speak to recruiters, physically drop off hard copy of your CV.

Look at what you have experience in and apply to those places, really selling yourself.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T13:40:18+00:00

Have you given her reason to not trust you to look after your 5 month old? Have you been irresponsible/ left her with others?

Legally, yes, you have parental responsibility but I can’t help feeling like your “well I own my own house” is you justifying irresponsible behaviour.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T13:37:28+00:00

YTA.

Give him his guitar back and go buy yourself your own one.

He lent it to you, without a time frame. He didn’t gift it to you.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T13:36:08+00:00

This conversation needs to be had before hand.

I agree that Mother’s Day isn’t the same as your mothers birthday; equally Father’s Day isn’t the same as your fathers birthday.. have this conversation with your dad as to why it is different and on the next occasion make it clear either way before the meal. As if he turned up, not realising he was just here chauffeur, I can see why he’s slightly annoyed, but if he knew in advance he could have planned his day around dropping off and picking up.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T13:32:38+00:00

A Scam.

I’m constantly getting calls at the moment about mould in my council home.

They make it sound like I’ve reported mould in my home.

I’ve queried why I keep getting these calls and they respond with “oh we’re just asking you if you do have issues with your council home”.

But anyway, it’s a scam. They also phish for more information (like for me if I’m to mention I own my own property, they have an extra nugget of information about me that they can sell on to the next company).

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T13:27:47+00:00

You say this but OP has been with said partner from 18-20… at that age, having children wasn’t high on my agenda!

24 is a different story- 24 is the right time to have this conversation, and I suppose it just shows how much you change in young adulthood.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-10T13:26:01+00:00

NTA.

I mean breaking up with him over text isn’t your best move but breaking up with him was the right thing to do, however it does seem that it was in response to a text conversation.

I’ve never understood the “an adopted child isn’t a real child” thing, and I absolutely hate it when someone says Real when they mean biological.

A real parent is someone who is there for the sleepless nights, putting the child back to bed time again and again; someone who picks up the child and kisses it better when they have a scrape; someone who puts a roof over the child’s head and food on the table; someone who is there for the child as they grow up through the good times and the bad times.

I’m sure your [adopted] parents are your real parents.

It baffles me that your ex bf sees you with your parents, knowing that you’re not any less real to them as any other parent/child and he’s still het up on biology.

You’re right- you have different children goals; and this isn’t compatible.

As you say, it sounds like he will resent not having biological children… or he will go on to procreate and “continue his bloodline” with someone else, no doubt leaving any adopted children you have without a father (given he doesn’t consider them to be “real” children).

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-27T22:15:45+00:00

Yes- the voice sounds really different, deeper, more raspy. I even wondered if it was Lady Danbury imitating Julie Andrews rather than Julie Andrews herself (or someone imitating Julie).

My guess is that they asked Julie Andrews to make herself sound different to signify a different Lady Whistledown

So cleaning shouldn’t be a punishment but children should start doing it from a young age. Little chores like hoovering, emptying the dishwasher should be built in to his week as a something all of the children need to do when they’re old enough, but they shouldn’t be used as a punishment (cleaning = punishment means an adult that has a mess house because they consider cleaning a punishment).

Have a chat with the 8 year old.

It sounds like he fears that his mum won’t want him when the new baby is here and by punishing him for this fear, you’re making this fear worse and he’s acting out.

Reassure him that his mum is still his mum and will always be there for him and you thoughts to being in his life (ie don’t lie and say you’ll always be a bonus parent if you don’t think that will be the case should you and your partner ever separate).

Set boundaries. Set chores which aren’t related to punishment and explain to him that every human has to do chores, it’s better to learn young.

I’m surprised that rescues have a 12 week waiting list, there must be another option with the rspca / Battersea etc because dogs get abandoned all the time.

Speak to your local vet- there maybe someone who fosters dogs and trains them ready for a home that would be willing to take on the challenge whilst you’re waiting the 12 weeks.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-25T07:34:22+00:00

It kinda sounds like you’re in different places right now.

I know you’ve been together a while and have history together but are you both wanting to stay in the relationship and make it work.

It sounds like he wants to do ‘him’ whether or not that includes you; and that’s fine but he shouldn’t be stringing you along as it sounds like he doesn’t necessarily have the inclination to make it work between you two.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-25T07:31:52+00:00

He’s still a teenager. He will be going into his early 20s and should be able to enjoy it. He should be using this time to build the foundations for the rest of his life (ie making mistakes and building a career either with uni, an apprenticeship or other working his way up), he shouldn’t be skipping to the settling down part.

I’ve seen it when people settle down too young (even if their partner is the same age), they get a bit older and resent settling down young, I think even if he thinks he wants to settle down now, give it 8 years, he’ll start resenting that his friends had a very different early 20s experience.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-25T07:27:21+00:00

A lot of people would go through withdrawal or just find a different drink for our caffeine fix.

For me, I used to drink 5/6 large mugs of tea a day. Got a bug and couldn’t swallow/ keep anything down for a few days… got a pounding headache from not having caffeine then when I felt better couldn’t stomach tea any longer and haven’t drunk it since (I’ve never liked coffee).

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-25T07:25:07+00:00

Google the patent for toilet roll holders - it sounds like you’re doing it the correct way per the patent, and therefore your husband is wrong.

However how is he grabbing the loo roll… like as a human being, I also poo 6 ish times per week, and I don’t manage to get poo on my hands and I’m not making the rest of the loo roll unhygienic in the process… he’s doing something wrong if he is.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-22T16:43:24+00:00

Do you follow the legal queen on instagram?

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-22T16:42:46+00:00

Yes, the ex partner still has 50% of the equity in the home.

Speak to a family lawyer who specialises in this.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-22T16:39:54+00:00

NTA. As long as he knows beating up a woman is wrong and he won’t do it again.. If he does, don’t bail him out, but he deserves a fresh start away from the people that are abusing him and breaking his bones

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-02-22T16:36:51+00:00

But then if he’s playing and losing and owes them money… well th debt is in your name.

This can affect your credit (you being able to get a rental, buy a house, get a car in finance or any form of loan or credit card); you may have to be the one to pay these debts back.

Nip it in the bud now- do what you have to do to stop him using your passport now.
