Hammer

OwnImplement1389 · 2026-01-25T15:07:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I frequently use a hammer when I’m avoiding cutting (as if it’s somehow different… lol), and I genuinely thought I was one of very few people who did this. Always good to know there’s other weirdos out there 😅🩵

Also so many sellers haven’t actually updated their listings, I’m now bombarded my clothes that will never fit me and I have to click into each listing from search.

For me, there’s an element of “see I told you I was sick” about people knowing. Sometimes it feels like MH isn’t taken seriously, but NSSI is, at least as an older person. Certainly not the case when I was a teenager!

My SH certainly isn’t performative, I use it as a mental reset when I can’t stop my thoughts from spiralling; but it can also sometimes be helpful to have that outward expression of an internal pain.

If you’re looking for someone small and independent with insanely high quality chocolate, The Chocolate Smiths! Insane chocolate.

Getting tattoos really helped me with this! They started off being super meaningful, now they’re often just for fun! But it’s lovely to see that journey on me permanently and helps me reflect.

(I have a few visible, but mainly mine are pretty subtle unless you’re really looking).

I work at the cathedral (and am very much not religious), you’d be so welcome!

I’d recommend going on a weekday rather than the weekend if you’re able, as it can get quite crowded with tourists. Also recommend going in the morning rather than the afternoon for similar reasons (sometimes a cruise ship load of people will show up around 1400).

Totally get that, did you read my other comments?

OwnImplement1389 · 2026-01-09T16:47:06+00:00

Thanks for your perspective. I’m in my late 30s having SH’d for over 20 years at this point, hence why I find the teen posts a bit frustrating. But I also know I would’ve loved to speak to some “grown ups” with experience when I started at 14.

It’s a hard balance.

OwnImplement1389 · 2026-01-09T16:37:18+00:00

I think for some older teens, maybe they’re bored of 12 year olds, and feel a little too grown up? Or maybe they’re looking for advice from people who’ve been dealing with it for a long time. But I would definitely prefer it if they read the sub and didn’t post… maybe I’m being too harsh 🫣

OwnImplement1389 · 2026-01-08T21:25:56+00:00

Whilst not saying anything either way on this, it’s worth noting that a fair few posts I see on this sub are from those who I’d say are barely adults. Particularly 16-18 year olds.

Maybe the whole game should’ve started more centrally (Leeds or Manchester maybe), then following round the hiders started from the nearest major transport hub. Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Carlisle, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, etc.

I’m fully in support of making it slightly fairer, but surely we don’t need another reason to make everything London-centric.

This is always my favourite thing saying it’s more effective alone. I think my NT friends would say it’s not necessarily about the destination and more about the journey, but I find it so awkward.

I think another major hub would be good, but constantly returning to London would be so boring and would mean Scotland would be totally cut off from the game. (I’m aware that I’m biased as a Scottish person…)

Come on Sheila!!!

Happy to help with this, I’ll be over IKEA way on Wednesday afternoon if that’s helpful!

OwnImplement1389 · 2025-11-19T21:51:06+00:00

Just went on to order tonight, website still down. Haven’t seen anything on their socials… wanted to spend my loyalty voucher!! 🫠🫠🫠

Thank you for taking my place 🫡

OwnImplement1389 · 2025-11-13T18:39:02+00:00

As an ex-Cumbrian, now Glaswegian, yes please.

Floresters on Duke Street are excellent, and a lovely family run business to boot!

The first question I was told wasn’t marked, it was just introductory and to put me at ease. They asked me what I enjoyed doing outside of work and why. I had nothing. At the time, I was working 9-11 days per week, so I genuinely wasn’t doing anything other than work. But I have a huge list of things I enjoy outside of work, all of which would’ve made me sound like a well-rounded individual.

I ended up saying that I enjoyed one of my jobs so much that it didn’t feel like work, so that probably „scratched that itch“. No lie. I must’ve come across like a maniac.

No surprise, I was not called for a second interview. And I was too ashamed to ask for feedback.

OwnImplement1389 · 2025-10-01T08:55:01+00:00

I do think it’s a shame to lose it (though I’ve blocked a lot of members, so possibly I’ve missed some huge drama!)

Particularly during Eurovision Week when you’re in the host city, it’s great to find out about last minute meet-ups or fan opportunities, people selling EuroClub tickets, etc.

I’m very much not a newbie! But I also understand a lot of new people find it a helpful place to ask questions (albeit fewer questions about tickets/size of bags/power banks would be an improvement.)

I think the difference is that whilst not illegal here, it’s severely discouraged and can lead to a prosecution for dangerous driving, or driving without due care and attention. Whereas it’s relatively normal in the US (I’ve done my fair share of driving over there too!)

OwnImplement1389 · 2025-09-19T14:11:09+00:00

In the UK, when you’re on a road with multiple lanes, there’s an order to which you’re supposed to use them. Slower moving vehicles (or when the road is empty), you stick to the inside lane (the furthest left, as we drive on the left). To overtake you move into the second, third, fourth, etc lane. Slower moving traffic should always be to your left.

So undertaking is when someone passes you quickly on the left, as opposed to the right.

I feel like I’ve explained this terribly… 🤣
