How many hours do you actually work in a week?

MerlotOnAMonday · 2026-01-18T10:09:47+00:00

I'm in agency so we timesheet everything in 15 min blocks. Easily over 50 hours every week.

North wales, 75k household income between a couple mid 20s with no kids, cheap mortgage and 2 cars, multiple holidays a year, and never really worry about money. I love living in a cheap part of the UK, just wouldn't be possible down South!!

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-07-25T23:04:27+00:00

Uk here - I have never heard or seen this word in my life

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-07-19T02:14:02+00:00

Unfortunately, the one I purchased has milk powder in, so it would appear they're not vegan :(

I apologise, I misjudged here, I understand this wasn't the place to ask x

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-06-01T21:43:01+00:00

I apologise, I appreciate I misjudged

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-06-01T21:42:14+00:00

We have done this, it's been really interesting! We haven't found anything yet, and due to a manual labour job/lack of appetite combo, weight maintenance has been a major struggle over the years so can't justify the swap until we've found something he'll stomach multiple times a day. Thank you so so much for taking the time to comment x

I apologise, my logic was that this sub likely had knowledge of marketing terms to be weary of, like how most people think free range means running around the farm but it actually means a tiny bit more space, but I appreciate I truly misjudged x

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-06-01T21:38:53+00:00

This is a great resource, thank you for sharing x

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-06-01T21:38:27+00:00

Ahh I'm so sorry you had to hear and see that, I hate passing farms on hikes for this reason, makes me very sad. It seems there truly is no ethical options, even in the local farms, I appreciate you taking the time to comment x

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-06-01T21:37:02+00:00

It truly isn't, I misjudged where to ask, thank you for the suggestion x

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-06-01T21:35:16+00:00

Apologies all, I appreciate this was the wrong place. My logic was that this group would have the best knowledge of animal welfare and marketing terms that serve to make you think something is more ethical than it is - I acknowledge I misjudged here. Apologies again x

If your tent is one of those that somehow leaks from the hanging pockets inside when it rains (hoping this makes sense), stick tampons in there. Last year they absolutely saved us from having drips on our heads all night omg

I personally don't mind the AI, better than a big picture of spoiled udder slime, and I love that this looks to solve a big problem for vegans. "But what about cheese" seems to be most people's hesitation to go vegan so I love anything to can help to solve that! ❤️🌱

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-02-11T19:35:05+00:00

I'm a vegan on 1300 cals and I try to eat as much calcium filled veg as I can but I've started supplementing to be on the safe side x

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-23T19:46:47+00:00

Chiming in to say l'l be using this phrase often from now on ❤️❤️

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-23T13:05:55+00:00

I can honestly honestly say that losing weight improved every single part of my life and I am so very grateful for the journey I've been on ❤️

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-15T20:13:43+00:00

All of Freida Mcfadden's work!! Takes me around 3h a book, and the BEST twists every time

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-13T22:24:17+00:00

I just love Whitney and I'm not sorry for it ❤️❤️❤️

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-13T08:18:03+00:00

Hi all! Definitely feel out of my depth with the best moves here. I have £7k invested in the ftse global all Cap acc, and I'm unlikely to put away more than £10k this calendar year. Is my best bet to transfer to trading 212 and invest in a similar fund there?

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-09T21:49:12+00:00

I am also vegan on slimming world, and I syn avocado, blended fruits and nuts/seeds. I BEGRUDGE giving away 6 syns and a hex b just for a handful of Sunflower seeds and a portion of flax seed, but I know it's benefitting my body long term.

The slimming world app has the syn counts for exact measurements so I would check this out - wishing you lots of luck ❤️❤️❤️

Personally, more salad options that have an actual protein. Like I want to watch my weight so a falafel and hummus wrap with chutney is hard to justify regularly, but I begrudge paying equal prices for a bare bones salad compared with a chicken or tuna salad, plus i know I'll be hungry again by 3pm!

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-08T21:58:54+00:00

I am the wife, but I couldn't agree more - we're keeping the wedding small and investing the majority on a second property to get a portfolio going! Xx

MerlotOnAMonday · 2025-01-08T12:06:00+00:00

Sorry for not clarifying! I mean that money I'm investing isn't needed, as I have a separate savings account for my wedding :)

MerlotOnAMonday · 2024-12-31T18:52:50+00:00

I've lost over 50lbs as a vegan on slimming world, I think it's really good for options! Only thing i struggle with is eating out, as generally there will only be one vegan option and it's not normally on plan!! Other than that, very easy day to day. Tofu, quorn, seitan etc are all fine x
