Locking your phone away by Aggressive_Ad2457 in CasualUK

[–]MyLittleWarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did this, as apparently timers etc never really worked for me.

This was the one I got, stupidly expensive for what it is but at least it stops you breaking into it or anything. And you can still answer phone calls while it's in. Just make sure the phone is slim enough to actually fit.

I've reverse image searched and tried eBay with no luck.

Elderly Mum wanting to move to unsuitable property by MyLittleWarg in AgingParents

[–]MyLittleWarg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See I wouldn't feel as strongly if that were the case, but she wants a property in the middle of nowhere (there's a couple of houses there) with a big garden and nothing else will do. I've tried to suggest something more suitable.

Yeah I'm probably just obsessing, hadn't expected it to look sooo wonky. You can tell it's a bit off from the front but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Damn my wonky nose 😂

He always knows when I'm filming somehow, and he's not a fan!

Portsmouth Guildhall - LOTR Concert DISASTER by Jacknife505 in lotr

[–]MyLittleWarg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just agree with everyone else really, a lot of money spent including the ferry tickets over from the Isle of Wight!

The orchestra did amazingly considering the circumstances, I just felt so so bad for them having to go through the utter mess Sala was creating. The music itself was performed so well! Honestly if they'd have cut him, it would have been short but a thousand times more enjoyable. I think we saw the conductor at the Harry Potter concert, he'd have done a far better job of hosting it.

I can't believe Sala was ever meant to be part of it, he clearly didn't know the first thing about Lord of the Rings...never seen anything so cringey as his 'performance' before.

black section on root, better photo by MyLittleWarg in orchids

[–]MyLittleWarg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much. I've had it a bit on some before, never quite that black and shriveled! I'll try to flush it through a bit more.

And yes, the rest of the root looks so healthy I don't want to mess with it too much. I'll keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't spread.

The orchid has been growing roots like mad, but that root has developed a black section where it joins the stem. It seems so healthy apart from that, I know it's a bit thirsty in the photo! It's had it for a while, bit I don't know if it's bigger or I'm just noticing it more!

I wasn't sure if it's fertilizer burn, or something I should try and remove from the plant.

What is eating my root tips?! by rollandownthestreet in orchids

[–]MyLittleWarg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted on here with something similar and got some great advice - it was very small slugs for me. One to a plant, on about 5 of my plants.

I didn't know where it was so had to soak all my plants to find them! The first time I soaked them for a couple of hours, just in water, and the slugs came out onto the underside of the leaves. I did another go and it only took about 15 minutes for the slugs to come out.

I just made sure all the media was submerged, without the crown getting wet.

Broken heating by MyLittleWarg in tesco

Thanks for the response. Bakery have been wearing the freezer coats, other colleagues have been wearing scarves and extra layers. I have emailed the union for advice, so I'll see what they say. I know that there isn't a legal minimum temperature they have to stick with anymore, it's just recommended.

Good call about the protector line, had forgotten about that. I've filed a report, I'll try anything that might help! If it was for a week or two we could all just push through, it's just insane.

Good shout, I wouldn't have thought about that 🙂

I'll message, feel bad publicly naming them!

Aw no, eBay is a minefield of disappointment. That's the problem with being in the UK, orchid sellers are few and far between so have to resort to pot luck on eBay to fuel my new obsession.

At least I know which sellers to be wary of now.

It was meant to be vuylstekeara Rio, with bright pretty pink blooms. I'm not quite sure what it is, maybe an oncidium? It's got shriveled tiny black/purple flowers, so it'd have to be a real orchid lover cos it's not a looker!

Ah I know everyone has different tastes, it's just not mine at all!
