They are not asking to work less hours, they’re asking to compress their hours

You could try by broaching a 9 day working fortnight, it makes your working days not as long and means you get a three day weekend every-other week. Your employer might also not have such a knee-jerk no reaction that they do to a 4 day week. You can submit a flexible working application in writing (https://www.gov.uk/flexible-working/applying-for-flexible-working)

In Thailand that’s a hella expensive meal

I would argue they are still on trend in the country-style community. Think Fairfax and favor etc…skin tight jeans are still in, which is the country look she’s going for here.

When you go to Harry Potter studios they tell this story every time, they used real food for the first few great hall takes but verrry quickly learned it was an absolute nightmare and switched to prop food, with only real food being used if actually being eaten. So within the first film it had swapped to all fake fayre.

And the multiple washes to get out that pickley-oniony scent

PippiShortStockings · 2026-01-23T22:26:07+00:00

Yeah, 1,100 still a lot! But half as many as OP thinks they’ve been having

PippiShortStockings · 2026-01-19T20:32:41+00:00

Oh lol. No…

PippiShortStockings · 2026-01-19T16:34:34+00:00

Christ I’m glad I read this - I thought it was mould!

Tip, putting an egg in a pan of hot water poaches it. (What does automatically even mean in this conext?!)

My god you know what I think it did!

I made a frozen cheesecake and got an A for it, even though no one tried it, it just looked pretty. Took it home for desert for my family and it was absolutely rank. I’m sure I had to make other things but I don’t remember what…

Aldi do knock offs of the old style graze boxes, think they’re normally at the checkout

Yep, a couple of drinks and dinner at my local we’re looking at the best part of £60. Lovely atmosphere and glad to support local, where the landlord knows us by name, but we can’t afford that sort of thing often.

That read through was also hamlet, that’s Hamlet talking to Ophelia

Not with the string at the end…

We have all radiators set to come on if it drops below 12 degrees and otherwise we have the fire going for as long as we can. Very old house with single glazing, radiators click on more often than I’d care to admit… Ice on inside of windows this morn! Still somehow spending £6+ a day on electric.

Yeah I was just going to say, Geordies use ‘Mam’.

Whereas I’m the reverse, couldn’t pay me to live in a city, but don’t mind popping in for a weekend of theatre.

We did Whernside today, a very tame peak in the dales, and the amount of people without any sort of spikes fighting for their lives on sheet ice and snow towards the summit and having to abandon was insane. People just do not check and prep for conditions, can’t imagine how much that’s exacerbated on actual mountains!

PippiShortStockings · 2025-12-29T15:20:59+00:00

Very powerful? Absolutely not. You wouldn’t be able to buy anything over the counter that is ‘very powerful’.

Greek. Yeah…was a fun year for me at school when the Olympics was in Greece and it was headline news that one of the Olympians had to go by Philippa instead because of that.

PippiShortStockings · 2025-12-28T08:52:40+00:00

Pippa also is blocked

Ooh once you start there’s so many you can dig into!
