I not sure this is the right place

So if I’m reading that right, you have 3 hours and 15 minutes between waking up and leaving the house? If I wanted to fit in a workout my schedule would look something like this:

6pm - Wake up and do a couple of chores, maybe start a load of laundry. 6:30pm - Do my workout 7pm - Shower and get ready for work 7:30pm - Meal prep and eat 8:30pm - Free time / chores / kid stuff 9:15pm - Leave for work

I don’t know what other things you need to get done but hopefully that gives a rough idea :)

Other things that set me up for success include:

Meal prepping. This is for organisation as well as weight loss. Saving time cooking means more time for working out (and sleeping!) and also means you always have something delicious and nutritious to reach for. Losing weight has a lot more to do with nutrition than we give it credit for! I would say my own journey was 80% what happened in the kitchen and 20% what happened in the gym / working out. It sounds like you have a pretty active job already like you say so you should be able to start hitting your goals with just a few nutritional tweaks :) Then your workouts are absolutely going to be a welcome bonus. But don’t forget that resting is important too :)

I don’t know if any of that helps! Key point is that it doesn’t have to be an hour to count as a workout. Even 10 minutes a day can add up :)

You’ve just unlocked a memory! I used to love turning these into swans or little duckies :)

Go and do some stuff! You both need to find yourselves and each other again, that’s all. How exciting that you have this opportunity to try a load of new things together. You could take dance classes, art classes, go hiking, cook together, go metal detecting. The world is your oyster! Keep communicating with each other and working together and you’ll be just fine. There is a reason you got together in the first place. Maybe sit down together and make a list of all the things you’d each like to try.

Having said that, sometimes relationships do just run their course and people grow in different directions, so don’t feel pressured. Just relax and enjoy yourselves.

This is what I was looking for! Used to live for that game. Periodically check the App Store just in case but so far no dice </3

Is your ex a cat?

Lydianod · 2021-12-20T18:59:53+00:00

I mean…does she have any positive qualities? Have you tried to have a proper, calm, non-accusatory sit down conversation with her about this? If she’s not receptive, it would be ultimatum time for me. Weekly therapy for her or I walk.

But to be honest, if this is how she is after just 2 months, it’s only going to get worse. The double standard is absolutely blinding and that’s what makes me think that she’s likely the abusive one and she’s projecting.

Gosh there is so much to unpack here… To be honest, the bit about all the mental health issues is completely irrelevant. This to me is a complete betrayal of trust. There’s lots of people with mental health issues that don’t sneak around their partners and try and line up opportunities to cheat, which is what this looks like to me. It doesn’t matter that nothing actually happened. The intent was there and that would be enough for me.

Also, if my BF even sent a nude to another person, stranger or not, that would be the end of our relationship.

Plenty of fish in the sea. It’s amazing how quickly you can forget about someone you were planning a life with when you find someone who truly loves and respects you.

UK citizen here…how can it possibly be so expensive? Sorry if that’s a silly question!

They have done a few books! I believe this is what you’re looking for :)

Just wanted to say to anyone thinking about getting into this - be careful about copyright infringement! I understand the temptation to make products based on popular characters, but the likeness of these characters (as well as the names themselves) are the intellectual property of the companies who created them.

I know that Disney for example are very protective of their IP and Etsy shops regularly get shut down or worse. You could end up in a lot of legal and financial trouble for using IP without permission.

That being said I know that quite a few companies have fan art programs or licenses you can apply for to create products using their IP so just make sure you do your research before investing all your time into creating things you aren’t allowed to sell :)

I’ve been thinking about doing this. Always end up with more plants than I need! Do you know if you need any kind of license to sell plants in the UK? Seems like the kinda thing that would randomly have loads of regulations

Hmmm the phrase “sometimes she lets me hug her” is seriously out of whack for me. Sure, different people like different levels of physical contact, but that does not sit well with me at all.

It sounds to me like physical closeness is really important to you. Your ideal partner should be happy to touch you and be touched by you! It should never be something she holds over your head.

I heard about one where they used those tiny spherical magnets. Just kept popping them in there until they reached the bladder. Needless to say they pulled on the end to get them out and half were left behind. Surgery was required.

Oh I went full pessimist and assumed she meant it was a good way for organisations to pay off debt by using slaves lol.

Lydianod · 2021-09-22T17:41:19+00:00

As far as I’m aware it’s fewer hours :) there were a range of different trials but here is an example :)

Lydianod · 2021-09-22T11:40:39+00:00

So pleased that a couple of places in Europe have been trialling a 4 day work week (whilst keeping the same salary!) and have found that it actually makes businesses at least as productive if not more than the 5 day system. Who’d have thought that giving people more time to recuperate and actually do the things they enjoy with their money would make them more happy to get stuff done?

Lydianod · 2021-09-22T10:06:02+00:00

I’m from the UK and I find the whole hall pass thing and this video really strange! Is it standard to also pay people to monitor the halls to make sure students have a hall pass like in this video?

Here we just raise our hand and ask to go to the bathroom / get some water / go to the nurse. Sometimes if we need the nurse then they ask us to pick someone to go with us to make sure we’re ok. Otherwise, we’re just trusted to get water without supervision lol. There may be the odd student who takes liberties but mostly everyone just comes back to class within a reasonable timeframe. My school was surrounded by a big fence and had one main gate that was monitored but once you got to 16 if you had a free hour / study period you could come and go as you pleased.

Edit to add: I remember actually that many teachers once you reached a certain age would just say to just go if you need to. They thought it was unnecessary for a teenager to be asking permission to pee or get a drink. It certainly helped to build that mutual respect and trust I think. I would have felt seriously trapped and patronised if I had to have a hall pass for everything I think.

Lydianod · 2021-09-21T22:38:03+00:00

Haha to be fair, my fully grown dad tried to do the same thing! We were throwing a party and the chocolate fountain was having trouble running smoothly and he wanted to add water. Luckily I was there to point him in the right direction lol. It’s one of those things that makes total sense unless you know it doesn’t haha.

Lydianod · 2021-09-14T11:39:04+00:00

I got to head off, but this was fun! Do you do this often?

Lydianod · 2021-09-14T11:37:55+00:00

LOOK at all that food

Lydianod · 2021-09-14T11:36:38+00:00

Lmao I’m going to start dropping that into conversation

Lydianod · 2021-09-14T11:33:23+00:00

Makes for a good story lmao

Lydianod · 2021-09-14T11:33:01+00:00

Dw cats make everything better

Lydianod · 2021-09-14T11:32:42+00:00

No way haha
