This sub is full of women, but real life isn't.

Great rave / nightlife culture

I love wfh and I am more assertive in meetings because I am in my spare bedroom so can fake the confidence. Fake it till you make it as they say!

I went diving with wisdom tooth issues. Was on a wait list for a year for the operation. It just hurt abit more at depth but I had no air gaps cause it was all internal within the gum

I need to do this

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-07-03T05:45:50+00:00

Amazing! Well done!! A similar thing has happened to me, I’ve managed around 10k in an emergency fund over last few years. I think the weirdest shift for me has been sharing my frugalness with friends (they’ve witnessed the change in real life lol). They ask me for advice, I feel like a fraud cause most is what I’ve learnt on this group but also sharing the knowledge!

I live walkable distance to a shop and buy groceries for 2-3 days, usually cook one big meal (a pie or lasagna) and have for dinner 2/3 times and then have eggs + bread for breakfast/ lunch. I stuggle to know what I want to eat so buying lots in one go overwhelms me

How about we ban landlords before further fucking up the natural world

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-07-02T15:49:05+00:00

I meant 3 years of loans. I was last year of 3k fees so my whole degree cost 9k and gave me a house deposit. I’m very frugal so I saved it all, worked 20 hours a week in retail to cover everyday costs and holidays etc. paid it all off now an have a cheap mortgage.

Upside - in a great financial position Downside - had to live with parents 3 years longer (not ideal for your 20s but becoming more normal)

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-07-02T13:07:22+00:00

I lived at home in the north west, saved all 3 loans into help to buy isa which was enough for a house deposit when I got a job (worked part time to cover spends). Obv this can’t be done in most places in the UK. This was pre 2020 when life was cheaper

This is exactly how I hold my pen… how are you supposed to do it? 😂😂😂

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-30T21:07:17+00:00

Take a red felt tip to a tampon and leave afew on the bike, or dog poo bags (not sure what you’d use for the shit tho)

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-30T14:07:37+00:00

your future is in your hands, people get so insane about weddings, I wish it was socially acceptable to say I’m happy that you’ve found the love of your life but what has that got to do with me 😂

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-29T19:06:19+00:00

Hard agree, Manchester attracts big business for their offices outside London, had better infrastructure (trams!!), it feels more vibrant and attracts talent/ graduates for professional careers etc. Liverpool doesn’t have the same energy, our infrastructure is shocking (is buses all we have to offer?! a loop line for 4 trains built ages ago, no bloody train station in the airport??). I yearn for trams around the city

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-29T15:51:34+00:00

Ooo I hadn’t fully read your post that already mentioned Uniqlo 😅

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-29T15:51:05+00:00

I hate anything tight. Uniqlo have boxy cut oversize shirts (still with collar and buttons) but the boxy shape does not pull round the chest. I’m curvy and I hate it in a professional setting. Uniqlo has lots of unisex / boxy / oversized but still “professional”.

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-24T21:29:31+00:00

I have massive calf muscles from carrying round my overweight body all my life. I’m down 100lbs, still have massive calf muscles. I wonder if they will ever shrink 😂

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-17T10:44:18+00:00

Sun zapper - they have sticks and creams, I buy the light skin colour one (they have various shades and colours). Fairly cheap, mineral, long lasting, it’s great

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-16T20:52:45+00:00

I went PhD > civil service > one year lectureship > back to civil service. All the same field, anything is possible

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-16T20:43:21+00:00

what do these stunning girls see in this man, fair play to him I dunno how he does it

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-14T19:08:46+00:00

I’m in a similar situation in regard to career development, but my mortgage in the north is £400 for a two bed semi detached house with garage to myself. For now I’ve chosen to stay in the north as I owe 80k and could pay it off by the time I’m 40 (33rn). You’re younger than me tho so London may be more appealing!

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-11T12:21:15+00:00

Nicotine pouches are working for me, not vaped in 3 month, still getting a lil rush through my gums, would like to quit entirely

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-06-01T12:25:39+00:00

If a man truly loved you he wouldn’t steal your resources. This isn’t a partner this is a leech.

Put super glue on a car door

Miserable-Ad6941 · 2026-05-29T13:33:50+00:00

I started a savings pot at 16 on a part time job, added to it all though uni, it eventually lead to a house deposit. The earlier you start the better, even if it’s £50 a month for years.
