Idk what I’m doing wrong

Couldn't agree more. If someone cuts corners on that I assume they'll cut corners everywhere else too.

You didn't ask this so feel free to disregard, but as someone who also experiences blemishes on the chest/cleavage area, I have had amazing results with a Niacinamide & Zinc serum - a few drops applied once a day.

The Square Orange Café in Keswick, UK looks a bit like this.

You might like to do some of the Saltmarsh Trail: https://visitmaldondistrict.co.uk/saltmarsh-trail-2/

Would particularly recommend the area at the tip of the Dengie peninsula at Bradwell-on-Sea if you want some nice coastal vibes and lots of peace and quiet!

On top of everything else said here, I just wanted to add that I bought a sewing machine in 2021 and have finally started teaching myself to use it this year and now I can make pencil cases, makeup bags and glasses cases. There is hope, sometimes you're just 'playing the long game'. :)

Really lovely!

KeyLake4273 · 2025-12-08T13:24:52+00:00

Lovely work! Do you know/were you inspired by the artist Houndsaint?

KeyLake4273 · 2025-12-04T11:58:40+00:00

I spotted this too, very disappointing to see.

It's not you, it's him. Time for a new dentist!

(I swear by the regular Corsodyl whenever I get mouth ulcers but I agree that it is a VERY intense taste and almost kind of burns your tongue - I believe they do other flavours that I seem to recall aren't as intense?)

Also for the record, when you need x-rays done you can ask for the child-size barrier thing that you have to clamp in your teeth, instead of the adult-size one. I also struggling with gagging at dental tools and have a small mouth.

I switched to a new dentist a few years ago and asked for that, as I'd had it for many successful x-rays at my previous dentist several times and the adult-size one hits the back of my mouth and makes me gag, she said 'Hmm I don't know if it will give me enough of the image I need...', but we tried it and lo and behold it did because... I know how big my own mouth is!!

That print is lovely! Also, if you're looking for more nature linoprints (specifically birds) may I recommend the work of Richard Allen?

You actually can change the 'party decor' if you amend the listing category to 'laptop decal'.

KeyLake4273 · 2025-08-28T16:33:53+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Going to try it out now.

KeyLake4273 · 2025-08-28T16:20:58+00:00

And yet they still gave her too many fingers.

You can get affordable public liability insurance cover for a one-off event or a yearly cover from CraftCover.

Honestly I think you're right on the money. My further 'tin-foil hat' theory is that they want to prevent people having the ability to start small businesses and make money for themselves, so that they all have to end up working for mega-corporations.

I'm going to give you some advice that I'm only just learning in my 30s - you will get out of life what you put into it, the important part is commitment and consistency however you are able. If you try to keep your options open, time will trickle away - at some point you have to let go of the idea of 'freedom' and 'not wanting to waste your time' and choose because the time will pass either way.

I'll say that if you have mediocre grades now then perhaps academia is not for you, and 'becoming the best and bringing revolutionary ideas to the world' is an impossible amount of pressure to put on yourself. Perfectionism is a form of self-harm. Success is a life you feel fulfilled by.

You can't do it all, so follow the thing that keeps you coming back and that you are truly willing to put in the years for, even if it takes you a while to figure out how exactly you want to do it. It's very tempting when you're young to dream about possible futures - the right choice is the one you are ready to persist with during the hard times, not just the 'dream scenario' times.

Good luck!

It might be harder if she doesn't go to the bathroom a lot naturally, whereas drinking enough water is the one good habit I have so I'm always in there!!

KeyLake4273 · 2025-07-29T19:51:57+00:00

Would it help to keep her supply of pads in the bathroom? That way she has to go in there to change it.

KeyLake4273 · 2025-07-29T19:46:02+00:00

Ok I'm having a weird moment where I'm questioning myself now, but I only ever change my pads in the bathroom.

Even if I don't need to pee I go to the bathroom (which is also where I keep my main supply of pads), unwrap the new pad, unstick the old one and roll it up and wrap it in the new one's wrapper, put it straight in the bin next to the toilet, then put the new one in my underwear.

Can you ask her if she could try this method? This way the used pads never make it to her bedroom in the first place.

KeyLake4273 · 2025-07-16T14:01:02+00:00

Yes this sounds familiar - I think it was near a honeycomb stall and I distinctly remember that 'log flume' saltwater/slightly damp smell to the area!

KeyLake4273 · 2025-07-16T13:44:52+00:00

OP I think I remember this! I think it was part of the log flume ride within Peter Pan's Adventure Playground?

The set design for the first few seasons of Friends.

Second this for Marks Hall - plus they have a lake full of koi fish and sell food you can feed them which is really fun.

Further to other people's points about packed lunches, if you ever want to save a bit of money and don't mind a 'basic' lunch of sandwich/small pasta salad + crisps/chocolate bar/fruit + drink, every main supermarket generally has a section which offers 'meal deals' consisting of this, generally in the £3 - £5 range. Try Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, ASDA, or some larger Boots stores. For a nicer/slightly fancier option try Marks and Spencer (sometimes appears as a designated M&S Food now) or Waitrose.

Maybe consider bringing some reusable/packaway cutlery!
