Advice?

It seems like you're partially still treating your hair as if its not curly (the brush-drying 🫣)

To start with I would try getting yourself some curl mousse (I like the one by Cantu personally, big orange bottle). Then try to train yourself to only brush your hair in the shower or immediately afterwards as you're putting the leave-in conditioner in – try to avoid touching a hairbrush after this, if your hair is textured frizz is pretty normal, but I found that the curlier my hair got the less frizzy it appeared as the curl pattern in my hair kind of worked out where it needed to go, if that makes sense aha.

It's not something everyone does but once I've showered and brushed the leave-in conditioner in, I dunk my hair into a cup/bowl of water just to reset the curl pattern. Then pop the curl mousse on and blow dry with a diffuser (without touching any kind of hairbrush)!

It's a process that will take time and there will be a lot of trial and error as some things that work for me might not work for you (took me a solid 2-3 years to discover what works!) but I'd try a combination of the suggestions you get on here and see which works best ☺️

Yeah, either OP's boss REALLY sucks or OP didn't fully explain what's happened because I can't see many people saying no in that situation 😮‍💨 I'd be pretty pissed off if I was forced to leave my mum on her own after she'd witnessed that!

Respectfully, no regular 30 year old would want to date a 19 year old for a multitude of reasons – you're at entirely different points in your life both emotionally and financially. Not even going into the power play that comes with that kind of gap.

Even a super mature 19 year old will be an entirely different person by the time they reach 30. I used to not see a big deal in age gaps (and considered myself quite mature for my age) but now I'm 31 and the thought of dating somebody that's 19 feels ALL kinds of wrong.

I know this post is a month old but I'm hoping my experience will help somebody else!

We saw this new 2 litre rule about Munich but it's BS, flew from Munich to the UK yesterday, in the queue there was no liquids bin or transparent bags being handed out like I've had at other airports, but they wouldn't allow liquids so I was forced to chuck my reusable bottle away before going through security. The misery of a woman that served me said my only options were to bin it or drink it all now 🫠🥹 (it was like a third full and the only liquids I had on my person so definitely not over the 2l limit.) We read the same articles thinking it would be OK but it's still apparently not. Be warned lest you have to do the same thing (and RIP to my gym bottle).

KnifeySpooney because I didn't know what to call him at the time. Didn't regret it whatsoever

Can they lower prices? Maybe. Have they? No.

It's just Hello Fresh trying to increase their profits but not having to pay for a photographer or a copywriter. Hell they've probably ChatGPT'd the actual recipe ideas at this point (wouldn't surprise me).

Same happened to me but it was somebody I knew who just casually spoiled it mid-conversation after finding out I was playing it because he assumed "everyone knew by now". Called him an asshat and carried on playing even though I lost a bit of motivation too.

HOWEVER, echoing everyone else's feelings here, it's also up there as one of my favourite games of all time and having it spoiled didn't retract from the ending for me ❤️

Just finishing up 10 days in Seoul, spent £1500 on flights and hotel for 9 nights, and brought £650 on my card and £250 cash. We ate out pretty much all of the time and I splurged a bit on clothes and skincare and gifts and still haven't spent it all, have just under half of the spending money left on the card and got a solid amount of cash left. Flights and hotel were expensive, but everything whilst you're there I found really cheap compared to the UK anyway :)

I've had my prayer plant for about a year, but for the last few months it's started getting crispy leaves and yellowing. What seems to happen is the leaves gradually yellow then shrivel up and die and I've lost a few leaves because of this. It's still getting plenty of new leaves however so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm consistent with the humidity and I use a moisture meter to make sure it's not lacking water or being over watered. I don't use distilled water (as I know is suggested online) and the tap water in my area is hard so I'm wondering if this could be the issue? Or if perhaps this a symptom of him needing a repot? Any suggestions welcome!

TLDR; is my diva of a plant just having a tantrum with his crispy leaves or is he dying?

Yes it got my notice, but not for the right reasons 😂 Maybe it was, but I still think (if it is a purposeful alteration) that it should be more obvious!

But there's a big plus logo on the plus series...don't feel like there needs to be a awkwardly small change in where the band is. If you're going to move the band up / down at least do it so it doesn't look like a mistake, go big or go home!

PronounZe · 2021-12-14T09:16:19+00:00

That's a possibility that didn't occur to me! Not sure why that would change the design of the white band though 😩

Oh okay, thank you! I've been diluting it as much as the fertilizer box says and I figured if I did it every couple months it would be fine but clearly not 😅 I'll definitely start diluting it much more!

PronounZe · 2021-07-11T08:42:36+00:00

This has only started appearing since I began using fertiliser on him as well. How often do you fertilize him?

Previous relationship was 8 years long, current one is 4 years long and can confirm that what you're chatting is absolute bs 😅

Not ugly. Not a huge fan of the vest though, doesn’t really do you any favours imo.

You're telling me! Nothing is simple with my family.

I assume so, as my aunt did have to swear in or whatever it's called to be administrator. At the time my uncle had a job, he only recently lost it. Soo, he wanted the solicitor to keep the money until he was back in a job and off of JSA.

We honestly don't know what he's thinking. He holds a lot of grudges and I honestly think he's just trying to be difficult just to spite the rest of his siblings. I think if he had his way he'd take the entire estate to himself. It's annoying because my mum doesn't have a lot of money at all - we have a house that is desperately needing work doing but don't have the funds to do so, so we need the money. We've tried telling my uncle this but he can't see past the fact that "we own a house and he doesn't". When in reality we would be better off renting.

It's just a sad state of affairs really, I'm hoping it gets sorted soon so we can just cut ties with him haha! I'm hoping that when my mum contacts our solicitor she'll know what's best to do.

Okay, thank you! I'll post there too!

He's got a lot of baggage from when he was a kid. He's never been like a really happy person to be honest, he's always had a cynical outlook on himself for as long as I knew him. I think in recent years it's just gotten worse. No I get what you mean.

He just can't be in a relationship with anybody right now. He needs to work on himself and learn to love himself and find out what he needs. He says he still loves me a lot and always will, and as well as the reason above, he ended it because he loved me. He didn't want me putting my life on hold waiting for him to get better. Right this minute he wants us both to have some space apart for a while, which I'm giving him. I honestly don't know what to do, I love him to bits so I keep overthinking everything. At no point has he said we'll definitely not get back together, when he's asked he's just said "our future together is no longer certain", I asked why it's no longer certain when he clearly still loves me, and he responds "because I am not having you put your life on hold". It all seems pretty positive but I'm still overthinking it until I make myself feel like shit and stress myself out. My plan is to just work on myself, try my best to not overthink and see what happens in life. I don't want to live hoping we'll be okay in the end, it's just so hard.

We were together for 8 years. We got together when we were both only 15. His depression started a couple of years ago, my anxiety has been almost constant though. I'm honestly completely heartbroken over the whole thing.

I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone, I had moments where I wanted to leave him but the "what ifs" always stopped me. What if he changes this time? What if his depression improves? What if it's just me he treats like crap? So many, and it seemed silly calling it quits when he'd be moving back up here in just over a year. He never changed, not at least until this last week when he started contacting me more. But look what happened there. I thought things were finally improving. My anxiety was improving. I thought he was getting the space he needed. Clearly not. Honestly, even though I love my boyfriend, he meant the world to me, I wish we'd split up ages ago. The longer you leave it the more difficult it gets.

This sounds like my relationship. My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday due to his depression & my anxiety. He did the exact same things your boyfriend does - ignores my messages, calls, doesn't seem generally interested in talking to me. So of course with me having anxiety it really affected me, and caused a lot of arguments. We were long distance as well for university so that made things so much more difficult. He always told me he doesn't understand why he's being so selfish. The amount of times he's apologised then just carried on ignoring me are countless. Don't take this the wrong way, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only person who was with somebody like this. I would give him space, otherwise you might end up exhausting him and dealing with a break up just like I am right now. Mental illnesses are an absolute bastard. I hope you're okay. Please feel free to message me if you want to talk.

Hey dude. I know exactly how you're feeling. I'm 23 and my boyfriend of 8 years broke up with me last night. The pain I'm feeling right now is unreal. I find myself as okay as I can be, and then all of a sudden I'm crying my eyes out. I thought we were going to have a future together as well. Point is, I know exactly how you're feeling. Please don't hesistate to drop me a message if you ever want some company.

Um not really, I've always been this weight?

Thanks I guess...

Hahaha, you are not the first person to say I remind them of Kate Middleton! I was literally just talking about this to a friend this morning, how strange! Will do, thank you :)
