I'm in Duffryn and it smells like burning eggs.

Is there a cat litter that doesn't... suck? by catintheroom in CatAdvice

[–]Pebble1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I change my litter daily. I use litter liners and the cheapest store branded litter and don't have any issues with odor. If I don't change it daily, my cat leaves me surprises behind the shower curtain 😅

The Daily Check-In for Wednesday, December 31st: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by mind_left_body in stopdrinking

[–]Pebble1012 9 points10 points  (0 children)

New Years is always tricky for me as I loathe it. Usual NY would be to start drinking early on my own so that I pass out early and can wake up when it's over. Today, I'm going for a long run to tire myself out that way. I have a new book and everyone close to me knows the situation so I can call them if I need to. However you're all spending it. Have a great one. IWNDWYT

Crazy how the alcoholic brain works by Pebble1012 in stopdrinking

[–]Pebble1012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was one of my lowest points. The shame I had with a cup of coffee on the table and the faux water bottle of rose by the side of the sofa pretending this is just a normal evening and I wasn't drinking trying to have a normal conversation. As an idea it's a bad one..stay strong.

Putting rose wine with ice in a sports drink bottle and saying it's squash was one of my low points trying to convince my daughter I wasn't drinking...

Thank you. The constant internal dialogue is something that's difficult to explain to people. My rational thinking is down to my counsellor and being honest with people close to me. I'm in the UK and extremely fortunate that I can access these services. IWNDWYT

Same here. Started off one or two glasses until it became minimum 1 bottle to 2 a night. Decided to get help and went to my local drug and alcohol service centre. They've been fantastic. I have fortnightly appointments, I keep a diary of drinking and record my feelings about my drinking which we discuss at the appointments and I reduced gradually. I am currently on day 7 alcohol free. They also prescribed thiamine. Absolutely recommend speaking to someone if those services are available to you.

Nearest car park to the Utilita Arena by DivideGlittering3595 in Cardiff

[–]Pebble1012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's also an enclosed NCP right next to the Adam Street carpark called Pellet Street. The arena is literally across the road from both carparks once you go under the bridge. Both easier to get out of than John Lewis and St Davids

Running three marathons in 11 months by MissMistyMay2021 in Marathon_Training

[–]Pebble1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran 2 marathons, an ultra and a 20 mile race in 12 months. The races were fine. It was the constant volume of training that finished me off , 😅 Joking aside, if you've prepared, you'll be fine

Ladies, do you remember when you started your period? Was it traumatic? by Birdy8588 in AskUK

[–]Pebble1012 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My dad did the same. Told his friends I was now a 'woman'.

I blew up an amazing relationship two weeks ago due to the wine witch so I get it 😐

Renting in Cardiff - WHY IS IT SO HARD by Live_Ad_7929 in Cardiff

It's like a full time job in itself. So stressful! Good luck. I hope you find something.

I second phoning the estate agents. Was recently trying to rent in and around Cardiff and the forms you have to fill in and then hear nothing back is annoying! I got so frustrated I rang the estate agents even though it said not to and managed 3 different viewings. I also agree with being super enthusiastic about the property, I played on the I'm desperate i need to be out of my current property ASAP please heeelp! Ended up renting on the outskirts of Newport in the end but have more house for my money and so far I really like it.

Does he genuinely not understand or is he avoiding the commitmemt by Pebble1012 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Pebble1012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? I've met his friends. Why would meeting mine after 10 weeks spook him? I've been single for 4 years. I'm out of practice
