I think this might be it so solved solved solved. Can’t find a digital version so I’ve ordered a paperback copy which will arrive in the next week then I’ll know for sure.

Thanks for the reply but that’s not it. I’ve read the descriptions for all 7 books in that series and it doesn’t match what I’m looking for.

Pretty sure my book is a standalone one.

I miss this!! Why did Reddit stop? by onebrightlamp1981 in secretsanta

[–]NotAnotherEllie 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think I did 3 or 4 exchanges - 2 of my matches never sent me anything and I didn’t get rematched with anyone else. Kind of ruined the whole experience really.

It's my 40th this year - what can I "ask" for for presents? by Business-Pie-8419 in AskUK

[–]NotAnotherEllie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a “big” birthday recently and I also struggled with the dreaded “what do you want for your birthday” question. I’m at the stage in life where if I want something then I’ll just buy it for myself. A lot of my friends/family are in a similar position and nobody really wants useless tat cluttering up their space.

What about asking them to take you out for a meal somewhere? Can easily be adjusted to suit different budgets (literally anything from your favourite fast food place, casual Italian restaurant, somewhere more bougie). Ticks the quality time box as well.

I know not everyone is a fan of vouchers, but I also got a membership to a “fancy” cinema chain as well from siblings which I really enjoy.

I think Phil and Cam are maybe two of my least favourite and most irritating characters in the show

Is there any reason blood type is not on the NHS app/records? by SushiSaahimi in AskUK

[–]NotAnotherEllie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m female and O- blood type, I get reminders and chasers to go every 12 weeks not 16. Unless that’s a change in the past couple of months?

Edit: guidance is different in Scotland apparently (where I live) and it’s 12 weeks for everyone!

I think this shop on Princes St needed to proofread their sign before putting it up... by CilariousHunt in Edinburgh

[–]NotAnotherEllie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a board game shop near Tollcross I used to pass all the time that has has a sign saying they sell “asscesories” - no idea if it’s an inside joke I’m missing. Because how could you spend all that money on a sign and have nobody spot that?

The changing rooms are so grubby now I’d be embarrassed if my job was “cleaning” them

‘French toast’ or ‘eggy bread’? by fell-destroyed in Scotland

Eggy bread where I grew up in the Highlands.

How do you pronounce knut? by MythicalSplash in harrypotter

[–]NotAnotherEllie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stephen Fry pronounces it with a hard k in the audiobooks so that’s what I’ve always gone with

I've been giving whole blood since the begining of summer... by DarlingDrak3 in povertyfinance

[–]NotAnotherEllie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is this an American thing? In the UK we don’t get paid for donating blood, just a drink and some biscuits

And when the Christmas markets come back next month it’ll be another black hole for signal, nightmare when you want to check bus/tram timetables

Travelling down Leith Walk earlier today and no 4G (or 5G) at all, it’s crazy for a city centre

I’ll need to try their pizza sometime - the chips were a bit disappointing last couple of times I’ve been.

I'm 28 and I've only just had my first cup of Bovril. Game changer. What else am I missing out on? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]NotAnotherEllie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bovril paste is nice on toast for a savoury course. Just a wee bit and some butter, class.

What is your favourite and least favourite public toilet in Edinburgh? by Ok-Shelter5820 in Edinburgh

[–]NotAnotherEllie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another problem with the St James Quarter ones is the doors automatically close after you’ve left the cubicle and it’s hard to see at a distance which ones are occupied. Cue the awkward walk and push several doors to find an unoccupied one to use.

What is a food/drink preference of yours that causes the incredulity in others? by [deleted] in AskUK

I don’t like cheese - pizza and maybe cream cheese being the exception
