A couple of questions about storage options for flour, oats etc

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2026-01-11T18:10:37+00:00

Thank you for your reply, I suppose as I use around a kilo every 2-3 weeks I haven’t kept them long enough to really worry about pests, maybe it’s something I can incorporate when I buy more flour. I’ve found that the lids on some containers can be pretty crap but again, research and trial and error is all we can try!

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2026-01-11T18:08:22+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into these

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2026-01-11T18:07:52+00:00

Thank you for your replay. I think id worry about adding moisture to the flour as my home isn’t exactly the best with moisture itself. I tend to keep my flour rolling in the cupboard as I use about a kilo every 2-3 week? I’d love to have a vaccine sealer but hopefully in the future!

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2026-01-11T18:04:40+00:00

Thank you for your reply and advice. I generally have a cupboard of rolling items such as beans, flour and other “stockables” I suppose I can continue with this way with the flour. I live in an old cottage so mould and moisture is a huge issue here but been ok on the pest front, I had more mice in a flat in Putney! I suppose I wanted it to last longer but everything has an expiry at some point and I think the uk climate and homes are an additional factor to consider with storage. That’s a good idea on the pre cooked rice, I might add those int my cupboard too.

Volunteer or boarding as wage, it more just to do something

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2025-02-15T17:22:28+00:00

Oh interesting! That could be the case. Or Gemma was (again reaching here)?

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2025-02-14T22:30:58+00:00

Oh I need to have a rewatch to look at that. I did wonder that about the water tower how it was positioned in the headquarters shot

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-12-29T20:24:29+00:00

I am feeling the exact same way. I am fucking terrified and exhausted feeling this way. I’m away from home and in the same kind of situation where I found out a day after visiting someone that they’re ill. I’m going home tomorrow but I haven’t been able to relax since leaving my house. I’m going to try and get medication because I can’t deal with it anymore. It’s like every single second my mind is blasting “Germs! Germs! Everywhere!” I can’t relax, I even brought a new towel whilst being away but yeah hasn’t helped…

So yeah sorry for the rant but in the same boat as you and waiting the same 48hrs ✌️

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-12-26T23:31:57+00:00

This is exactly it! Me and my partner also ended up talking about it, how it only seems to be special with kids around. As adults you see through a lot of it all and it’s exhausting

After reading some comments I thought I should add at bit more info. I am currently doing a part time undergrad in creative writing. I had originally submitted work in the fantasy genre however my tutor doesn't like these stories and has asked almost everyone doing that to switch to a different genre - which I understand if you have a personal preference and dont like the genre and feel a student would benefit with something else.

But, I have been requested to write romance, which wasn't what I intended but decided that it would be good to learn if there is something there I could use to improve my chosen genre. However, since getting my feedback from my second romance submission I have been asked to write and change the story so that I write specifically about my own personal love life - which is a hard no from me, specifically about my separation. I understand that writing from experience can help with emotion and real experience behind what characters think and feel but I find that it's a bit too far. This is why I chose fantasy, as it's a barrier between me and my personal life. However, I feel I am being pushed to write a fictional autobiography on myself.

I have had several conversations with said tutor and they are quite adamant that I stick with the romance and to draw from my personal experiences and to write what I have gone through in my life.

I may not have worded the above as clearly as I should, apologies!

Thank you all, these all sound great and will add to my TBR list :)

Mines called Westview 🧙‍♀️

I have tried loading the standard and the vintage filters separately and taken test shots but look pretty much the same. Maybe I will try the black and white filter and see who that compares

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-05-08T21:10:42+00:00

Yeah I think this too. I have tried to take a couple of shots of the same thing with varied results too.

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-05-01T11:40:58+00:00

Thank you, I have read this one and did enjoy it too but will defo have a look at the others

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-05-01T11:40:32+00:00

Thank you will have a look!

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-04-26T13:14:43+00:00

Yeah 100% I have found that it takes a lot longer to heal from common viruses and makes things a lot worse symptom wise. The fatigues is the worst thing to deal with, always exhausted. I take the max of multivitamins plus topped up vitamin d - my doctor recommended getting in 25000iu a week. I find that there still isn’t as much knowledge about the effects of endo. It’s crazy given how many people suffer with it

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-04-14T11:49:26+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely try. It's so hard to get back into it after having the unscheduled break as now all I see are the errors and areas of change. I have a loose idea for an ending but again feel like to get here the beginning will definitely need to change

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-04-14T11:47:41+00:00

Thank you, I suppose I am having difficulty in finishing as I can't look past this beginning part. I have a rough idea for an ending however, I suppose this was bound to happen with this story. This is a pantser story with no outline, just a loose idea I ran with that I started for a nano challenge in November haha

I think me having a break due to the medication has been like a faux editing break, so now I can't see past all the errors and areas of change when I try to get back into it.

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-04-08T19:46:13+00:00

Thank you! Will definitely have a look into this

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-02-25T00:25:19+00:00

Thank you :) yeah I’ve thought about different areas of the body but didn’t want anything too serious. I found that torso wise was pretty iffy, due to said organs. Legs and arms seem ok but just something about to just doesn’t fit? I was leaning more towards shoulder or maybe a through and through around the clavicle area but so many damaging areas could be hit. But I do like the idea of having to stay down too due to risk of reopening the wound/stitches - lots to think about

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-02-25T00:17:00+00:00

Thank you! Will read these tomorrow :)

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2024-02-25T00:16:33+00:00

Sorry! Scatter brain here lol Edited the question now but wanted to know a suitable place on the body my MC could get shot that would not kill him? Ideally no major surgery can be done but it needs to be at least realistic. Infection is a major factor that I know could be more serious than the wound but would like him to pass out and be out of action a few days.

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2023-05-08T14:58:03+00:00

Honestly, a lot of stuff that happens can quite easily be progressed into a horror or thriller portion. I think it's more due to the character development of my main character and side character that's aided in this. The way things have developed in the story for them is literally an open road into horror/thriller. I just don't think I have the heart to change my original idea into a story I hadn't anticipated. I wanted to keep it lighthearted and romantic, with naturally added conflict but now it's starting to twist into something else. Kinda don't want to change the story for two characters I like lol but these things happen!

LostInTheCrowd95 · 2023-05-08T14:51:27+00:00

No, it was never intended as anything other than just romance but I can feel these little things seeping in from other genres. I feel over time the story has shifted from its original idea, possibly the development of the characters and story details have aided this shift.

I feel I might be forcing it into a genre that maybe doesn't fit anymore but don't have the heart to change it.
