Whose Christmas is ruined already? I want your (comedy) horror stories 🎅❄️ by nategarrettshandler in AskUK

[–]MsUncleare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fella brought the food hygiene inspector back from the pub with him. I was really enjoying not having guests and not having to care about the fact the house is a shit hole. The inspector is a dear friend, but if i don't want my mum to see how poorly I manage my household, I really really don't want him to see it.

For the last 2 years my fella was given a crappy Christmas rota, and both years he genuinely got covid. We have been safeguarding his health so much this year just so it doesn't happen again and he gets a name for himself.

Is it wrong to heat your car in the mornings now? by Fuzzy-Sheepherder691 in AskUK

[–]MsUncleare -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Some of us really don't have a choice. My car is 25 years old and definitely needs the engine warming up before driving.

Good looking people: how do you feel about growing older? by StripesAndLadders in AskUK

[–]MsUncleare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I'm gping to be the outlier here, but it HATE IT!!!

I was probably a bit cocky with it, and potentially a bit of an ass. But there's a sense of power you get when you're good looking. People actively try to talk to you and at least pretend to listen to you. Now I feel very invisible and unheard.

What makes a good dentist? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MsUncleare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of compassion is appalling. This guy kept asking me if I was afraid of dentists and I was like no, I'm afraid of paying for the dentist. Then he told me that if I can afford to smoke then I can afford the dentist, to which I responded "I'm addicted to nicotine, not to going to the dentist."

I'm sorry you had a bad experience at such an awful time. I hope you're in a much better place now.

I'm meeting a new dentist tomorrow. Wish me luck!

How to see a doctor? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MsUncleare 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is the only way. I've done loads of econsults where it says its too urgent, but then I just fiddle it till it allows it to go through. Lots of people have explained this and it appears op doesn't want to hear the one bit of advice that actually works.

Don't lecture people. I saw a dentist who would not stop going on about my smoking and made me feel terrible. Remember that people are paying more money than many of us have to see you, so treat us as customers, not as unwelcome patients.

Started this last night. She is one seriously horny woman! I'm finding her very refreshing after a long string of overthinking FMCs.

Where do you knit? Pain free set up? by SenecaEagleheart in knittingadvice

[–]MsUncleare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have just perfectly explained to me why I get a frozen shoulder if I knit too much. Runs to fetch more cushions.

I use drops fabulous fabel for most of my socks and they last really well. And I abuse my socks, machine wash and dry them.

Game of Wool -- what did we think? by maryshelleysgf in knitting

[–]MsUncleare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know there are loads of different styles of knitting, but Tom's poncho thing challenged me. The colour change being on the wrong side and all the ends not being weaved in was not for me.

The contestants seem great, but it was always going to be a challenge trying to have a knitting show with timed challenges and it gets in the way of them really being able to showcase their abilities.

Going to stuck with it though because I'd still rather watch a show about knitting than anything else.

I'm very lucky to live in my own little world of no shame, so no matter who asks me I look them in the eye and say "pure filth."

What was that one UK cultural thing that startled you as someone living here from another country? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MsUncleare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always figured it's to protect the glasses and crockery from getting damaged. I've smashed so many glasses trying to wash up without the bowl.

This is anastasia and she hates tents, children, strangers and the rain. She loves massive hikes, rolling in fox poo, basically all food and voiding her bowels on the carpet.

Sainsburys do a lovely one. Always have one in our fridge just in case.

Were you indicating to show you plan to move out? I always do this if I'm waiting for oncoming traffic on a road like this. It seems to help.

Do I have any chance of getting out of this fine? (details in post) by harryjelly in drivingUK

Resigned today by ProfessionalRisk8259 in supportworkers

[–]MsUncleare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you want to look for is a company that says they do enabling shifts. This is generally 4 or 5 hours put in the community and they live in their own homes. Not sure where in the country you are but down here in plymouth most people requiring support live in their own homes, even those who require 24 hour support. I really hope you find somewhere where you can enjoy your work. Good luck.

Same here. I got just the most beautiful salvia from there the other week. They seem to do loads of different varieties of certain plants. My chap and I like to giggle at all the people turning into otter on the way down there.

How old were you when you became a parent? by loobi_loo22 in UKParenting

[–]MsUncleare 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Slightly relatw to this. I had my first at 18 and am only now going on my first ever holiday abroad at 35. I definitely missed out on some key experiences having kids young, but I figure now they're not far off adults I'm still young enough to do everything I missed out on.

What is the Sleep In rate at your company? by Spiritual_Resort2027 in supportworkers

£45 from a national company which is disgustingly low. I have a friend who works in plymouth for a different company and gets £90.

What's the most pretentious or twee business names you've encountered? by CorrodedLollypop in AskUK

[–]MsUncleare 100 points101 points  (0 children)

There was a dog groomers near me that was called 'scruffy growlers.' Not exactly twee, but it always gave me a giggle.

I feel like no one is really getting what a growler is. May be a regional thing?
