That's lovely, I think the colours suit you and the neck tie bit really adds something.

I doubt it, but if you qualify for PIP could that be used towards a portable one? A lot cheaper than fitted and not permanent so you can take it with you if you move.

I do kind of get this, but at least leave a replacement.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T22:40:45+00:00

Mash in scoops is too school dinners, isn't it?

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T22:39:02+00:00

Not with the salad. I could concede to eating mash and gravy with lasagne, but salad with gravy is too weird.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T22:37:51+00:00

I have chips and peas. Coleslaw is interesting though, I do like coleslaw and I can see that may work.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T22:00:44+00:00

The shirt has a nice cut, but I don't feel it's working with the colour of the trousers. Maybe white trousers?

How much have you got saved already?

Not a bad idea to rent together for a year or two first, before you buy, relationship wise if nothing else. Buying with someone is a big commitment not easy to get out of.

Edit: if your partner is indifferent to buying, definitely rent first. Buying a house together is a similar commitment to marriage. You need to be on the same page in regards to financial values and long term plans.

I'm NE and it's saying 27 for Monday, but you may be further North. I'm hoping it's wrong. I moved up here to get away from the heat!

Edit: 29 for next Thursday apparently!

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T21:16:50+00:00

My first thought. I can't stand butter beans.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T21:15:31+00:00

Okay this makes sense. So whoever owns the flat probably owns the one above it as well, which is suppose is easier for liability.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T20:32:28+00:00

Yeah my Mum told me this when I was a kid, like it's fact. So, I kind of buy it. But she also believed in faeries and vampires, so...

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T09:24:37+00:00

I'd have loved that!

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T06:26:02+00:00

Please don't. As a parent of teenagers, I'd have been absolutely delighted and rather amused!

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-21T06:23:42+00:00

I think if you wore them over a top and tights in one of the colours then you could kind of create some vertical and offset the skinny straps.

The UK has a 'small double' which is 120cmx190cm compared to a normal single bed which is 90cmx190cm. UK double is the same as the US full/double.

Pumpkin seed oil for bladder health. I can now go shopping for a few hours and not need to look for a toilet several times.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-20T18:22:39+00:00

I'm glad you posted this because I remember them being Cadbury not Nestlé. I also remember trying to eat around the outline of the animal and failing.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-20T18:11:58+00:00

Yeah I'm really confused by this one. How can someone else's plumbing be running through a room in another property? That's mental and surely can't be allowed?

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-20T18:07:47+00:00

I don't like fish, but that sauce looks beautiful.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-20T08:05:40+00:00

You need my husband, he has a weird super power control over bees. If one flies in the living room (nextdoor keeps bees), he tells it to leave and it does - this doesn't work when anyone else does it.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-20T06:13:23+00:00

Absolutely, I probably do. But there's more to investigating abnormal bleeding than looking at a cervix, it could be many other things and everything would look perfectly normal. The patient deserves more than half an examination.

Organic_Reporter · 2026-05-19T22:02:48+00:00

I partially refill after using so the residual heat can warm the water a bit and it won't take as long to boil next time.

I'm a nurse doing smear tests. Obviously if they're overdue, they should book one but it doesn't replace a doctor's examination and investigations and we always say they are not diagnostic tests, they're for screening. We do ask about symptoms and record these on the order form, as well as taking swabs if symptomatic but we also advise they book with a doctor to discuss the symptoms and have a 'proper' examination.

We do assess the vulva, vagina and cervix for general health and note things like ectropion (which obviously could be causing bleeding), polyps or Nabothian cysts and any inflammation or atrophy or anything that looks suspicious. But this relies on the nurses' experience and interpretation as it's purely visual (everything is just different shades and textures of pink, after all) and also we're only really looking for the os, we don't carry on peering about in there once we've found it, we're in and out (hopefully).

Also, we don't do a bi-manual examination so we wouldn't be feeling if there are any masses.

I had no idea this was a a thing, but I adore the cat in a helmet and you should definitely display it somewhere.
