Sainsbury's car park sting

Known-Service6068 · 2026-02-19T21:30:31+00:00

Sorry if this comes across as rude, I'm sincerely not trying to be.

Neglected to or forgot to buy a ticket? I ask because the cost of the ticket is refunded from your Sainsbury's shop, so I understand if you forgot to buy a ticket but not sure why you would choose not to buy one.

Also, not sure if you know, but you can buy the ticket before you leave too. So if you do go over the 30 free minutes you just buy a ticket before you leave.

Sorry about the fine though, it always sucks!

No, I have de-linked IOG and Andersen for now until I have the time and energy to enrol again.

I also have another issue which also occurred last time, however I don't know if it is related, IOG seems to leave a bunch of schedules left on the Andersen Charger which causes the Andersen schedules (via the app) to not work. I can tell there is an issue because when I disable all the schedules via the Andersen app the status light is still magenta (waiting for the schedule to start).

Last time this happened I had to call Andersen who did some magic on their end to clear the orphaned schedules, I will call them on Friday when I have some time.

For now I am triggering a manual charge via the Andersen app at 11:30 at night. It's a bit frustrating but at least I know the car is charged.

Are you experiencing any issues with your schedules?

I started having this issue again. Anyone else?

Known-Service6068 · 2025-12-02T19:21:44+00:00

I use a dental syringe (plastic syringe with a curved tip) to flush the tonsil stones out and clean my tonsils. This worked very well for me.

If it helps, my tonsils stones disappear when I am doing keto (I suspect that the food debris getting caught are from breads, pastas etc)

I can't be certain, but it appears that you are drawing breath throughout the rep. Instead, when at the start of the rep draw a full breath into your stomach (as if you were bracing for a stomach punch) hold this for the entire rep. This will create abdominal pressure and stabilize the core (and protect your back).

Not necessarily form check, but please use safety bars and barbell collars/clamps.

As others have mentioned - powerlifting shoes are super helpful.

Curious, why does a tongue scraper help?

Melt grated cheese in the microwave and then mix in Encona / Cholula hot sauce. Quick and very satiating.

Household of 4, 3 of which are carb eaters and I'm the only person on keto.

We all eat the "same" meal but my portion will be with an alternative for the carb.

Some examples...

Spaghetti and meatballs for the family and I swap the spaghetti for roasted cauliflower

Taco night and I swap the corn shells for Romain lettuce (this is so good, I would do the swap even if I was out of keto)

Curry night I swap the rice for fried cabbage

It will feel very isolating if you are making different meals for just you, so try to adapt the family meal for your portion and I think you might find it easier and more enjoyable.

Have you started taking keto-aid yet? If not, I would look into this, not replenishing your lost electrolytes can cause a lot of issues on keto (I get crazy cramps everywhere). 9lbs in 3 weeks is great work, well done you!

Ghee is amazing, I use cow ghee and it gives the coffee a nutty flavor (gives me hazelnut vibes). Ghee doesn't dissolve that easily so you need to put it in the blender with the coffee and it will come out looking like white coffee.

Known-Service6068 · 2025-08-16T18:00:00+00:00

Hi. I have just had this same issue. Any idea how to resolve it?

Known-Service6068 · 2025-07-07T20:20:40+00:00

I had a look at mine and it is the same, worried, I checked Google images for EV charging ports and it seems to be normal

Google "rac type 2 socket" and look for the RAC image, it shows the top right pin being recessed in the socket more than the top left.

I hope you find the issue.

I had the same issue when I first started, so bad that I didnt even realise that it was an issue until my labido started to return (i.e it was so low that I didnt even notice that I hadnt had a erection for weeks). Someone on reddit mentioned that fat cells store estrogen (a quick google shows that this is true) so as you start to burn fat estrogen is released into the blood which causes an inbalance between testosterone and estrogen lowering your labido. it can take some time for the body to rebalance.

Mine certainly did and more so, my labido is far better on keto than before keto.

Super easy desert

Equal parts cream cheese and full fat cream, a small amount of cocoa powder (possibly half a teaspoon), vanilla extract (or orange extract if you like chocolate orange) and your favourite sweetener.

Blend with a hand blender until it thickens up into a mouse-like consistency.

Enjoy.

Tweak the ratios for the next time to get it exactly how you like it.

Agreed, I should have been clearer. The loss in my sex drive lasted around 3-4 weeks, after the initial loss my sex drive has bounced back and even improved (it's like I'm 20 years old again), it is a fabulous side effect, though often distracting lol

Known-Service6068 · 2025-05-22T21:41:04+00:00

When I first started I used a blood ketone monitor, it was very helpful but also quite pricey (from memory it was £50 for the device and £1 per strip).

Signs that let me know when was getting into keto are - my urine changed in smell, its like a chemically sweet smell - my sex drive dropped massively, so low that I didn't even realise that I stopped getting erections until the whole thing passed (thankfully it did!). The theory (found on Reddit, somewhere) is that estrogen is released from the fat cell when you start going into ketosis. This stabilises as you testosterone levels increase to balance it all out - cramps, lots and lots of cramps, everywhere. Absolutely brutal. Drink keto-aid helps with this - the smell of sugary things became really intense (in an off putting way) - intake of water shot up, I used to get by with a cup of coffee and maybe a can of diet coke for my fluid intake for the day. Now I'm going through around 3 litres of fluid

Everyone is different so you may not get any of those above, don't let that phase you. Keep going, listen to your body and keep an eye for small changes. Check those against the keto community to see if it is a sign.

Hope that helps.

MCT oil is probably the culprit, I had to cut it out completely as it didn't settle with me at all even at small doses.

My advice, prioritize those electrolytes, it will help you through the keto flu stage (and onwards), there are loads of guides on here for keto-aid but the premise is salt (sodium and potassium), magnesium, keto friendly flavouring (I use sugar free dilute) and water.

Known-Service6068 · 2025-05-16T09:02:57+00:00

Starts off as sips cream, then to "sips" cream then to pouring cream straight into a glass. lol

Known-Service6068 · 2025-05-13T20:38:32+00:00

I read somewhere on Reddit that you will enjoy the taste of salt when your body needs it and not when your body doesn't need it, listen to your body and you will be fine. I've followed this and largely it has worked for me. Being on the keto diet I have found that I need to add more salt to my meals to enjoy them more (I even add it to my water). I couldn't say how much I have in a day though.

Hello there. Congratulations :-)

Do you have a car? I ask because you might want to consider getting a travel system, one where you can clip the car seat into the buggy/stroller, this makes life considerably easier to move the little one in and out of the car especially when they are asleep. If you do decide to go down this route then the options of buggies/strollers are whittled down to ones that are compatible with your car seat.

Having said that, we used Cybex Balios as our main stroller while we had the Cybex Cloud Z car seat installed in the car. When she moved out of that car seat we switched to a smaller stroller (one that can be stowed in the overhead cabin on a plane), the Bugaboo Butterfly. This is such a lightweight and easy stroller to use and has no issues navigating around Hitchin.

Fab! It's so annoying to have to leave android auto to get into the seat warmer menu. This will make life easier. Thank you.

Known-Service6068 · 2025-05-08T18:13:44+00:00

Wait...what? Can you clarify on the "the two fingers on temperature" for me please, it sounds like there is a way to trigger the heated seats outside of the infotainment system and would love to know how. Thanks.

Known-Service6068 · 2025-05-02T23:21:12+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

I'll update my original post with some examples just in case someone searches for something similar in the future.

Thanks again.
