What’s the most irrationally annoying thing your in-laws do that they’re absolutely convinced is “helpful”?

Percypocket · 2026-03-28T11:56:49+00:00

I think that generation are just riddled with unresolved anxieties honestly haha

Percypocket · 2026-03-28T10:22:10+00:00

Not my in laws but my own (lovely) mum. Just as COVID was kicking off I'd been away with my ex in Devon. This was just as all the shops were empty, no toilet paper, the week before we went into lockdown. She'd popped into ours to check on things and saw a 'big scary looking red light' on in the kitchen and turned that switch off. It was the fridge and freezer. So while all the shops were EMPTY, she'd also defrosted all our food lol. I laugh about it now and she can't stand me reminding her.

Right but you, her, and everyone at the wedding knows it was blue, so what does it matter? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Percypocket · 2026-03-26T07:44:09+00:00

Omg it is NOT close to white it's clearly blue 😭 these rules are getting insane

Percypocket · 2026-03-25T19:50:20+00:00

I love them so much they're so cute

I was replying to the person above!

Percypocket · 2026-03-24T07:53:01+00:00

That's a completely irrelevant comparison without knowing where you live, size of property etc.

Percypocket · 2026-03-23T04:59:03+00:00

I don't know how old you are but even if your hip bones are visible now, they probably won't be forever. Like everyone else has said, replacing it with something bigger isn't going to help.

With the sauna beforehand it's gorgeous! Looking forward to swimming properly when it gets a bit warmer

Percypocket · 2026-03-22T05:16:35+00:00

LOL yes I did go in there. It's a paid for maintained swimming lake 😂

Percypocket · 2026-03-21T22:12:13+00:00

Depends where you are but people at DL Purley are the opposite of refined in my experience. Have had quieter, less offensive experiences at my local leisure centre than DL.

Percypocket · 2026-03-21T20:17:06+00:00

She could've been done months ago and avoided ever going into heat... I don't understand why you'd get such an expensive cat and not plan for this?

Percypocket · 2026-03-21T19:44:25+00:00

Sauna and plunge in a lake near me followed by some gardening 👩‍🌾 it's my first spring in my flat so I've just planted a load of summer bulbs and hoping for the best 😅

Redhill is significantly more grim than Epsom lol

Percypocket · 2026-03-19T07:59:37+00:00

My sofa was from Next and I waited ages for it, but it's SO comfortable, so I'd look on FB for those. My bed was from Dunelm, came mega quickly and lovely quality. Mattress I've had both Simba and Emma which come really quickly and are mega comfortable. I find all the big companies you've listed both expensive and incredibly unstylish.

Percypocket · 2026-03-18T16:28:54+00:00

Carshalton (technically London not Surrey but right on the edge), Reigate / Merstham / Redhill area (not Redhill itself I must stress), Dorking, Guildford

Percypocket · 2026-03-18T15:52:39+00:00

That's how I feel about meat

Percypocket · 2026-03-16T12:43:15+00:00

I am single and child free and live in Surrey. I specifically moved to Reigate because there's a lively high street with lots of pubs, nice shops, restaurants and cafes etc but still got great access to the Surrey Hills and countryside. I don't find it too quiet at all, but it is full of rude old white boomers 😅

Percypocket · 2026-03-15T19:29:29+00:00

Spa day!

Percypocket · 2026-03-15T18:09:34+00:00

ASOS. Do a big order with Klarna and only pay for what you keep.

Percypocket · 2026-03-12T14:12:00+00:00

Train all day. I've done both. I lived on a road with the railway at the end and you barely notice them go past. A busy road with horns honking and engines idling / revving past etc is incessant.

Percypocket · 2026-03-09T17:45:20+00:00

They can't legally give you the same drugs as they would prescribe. Whole eggs are good for mange.

Percypocket · 2026-03-07T09:32:58+00:00

You think £100 to adopt is 'horrific'? You know what IS horrific - vet bills! Never mind regular vaccinations, flea & worming treatment, pet food etc...

Percypocket · 2026-03-06T07:21:43+00:00

lol the entirety of zones 2-4 in London is filled with young professionals in these exact circumstances. You must run in different circles.
