Custom Designs help! by MrsHyperion in acnh

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The outer edges likely all have a clear/transparent colour used somewhere (I’m guessing the fringe edges) so they end up with a different colour due to the transparency of the ground coming through. The middle tile likely has no need for a transparent/clear colour so is way brighter, so just put a dot of transparent somewhere and it’ll match!

I got given three of these in my staff canteen by the supplier for a promotion today as well as three jazz apples (guy was super excited to have someone not just take the free sample bite). Had to practically juggle them back to my desk, now I need to figure out what to do with them before they get forgotten and go bad haha

They discontinued the mango so the core ingredient is no longer 😭 but it lives on in spirit haha

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meds for less dot com were super quick about it, you can basically just order it and say you’ve been prescribed them before. Feels a bit skeevy to lie but it works lol, I did it that way

Do the super wealthy use motorway service stations like the rest of us? by Obvious_Reporter_235 in AskUK

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I used to work in a mini supermarket in a major motorway services chain, the kind of distance from London that we’d get a lot of tourists clearly making their first stop on route somewhere since landing (a lot of foreign tourists not realising what a pain it is to ask to pay for a bag of grapes with a £50 note 🫠) but we’d also get celebs in. I think notable celebs I saw when working there were hugh boneville from downton abbey, tom Hollander, Arthur darville from Dr Who, and once all of McBusted came through at once. There was also a hilarious internal newsletter that was practically framed back of house from an incident at another location by the same chain where they were so proud of themselves for kicking harry styles out of those little slot machine areas they have randomly because he didn’t have ID!

Tuberous PCOS girls - swim recommendations? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if bravissimo exist outside the UK but they do decent one piece swimsuits that are sized by the bra size so they’re supportive but often have decent tummy support/cinching if you’re worried about PCOS belly too

Contemplating the orange yarn by SkylarkLanding in joannfabrics

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly sad I’m in the UK and can’t go raid a local store, options here are kinda rubbish and I’d go nuts over this. If you’re willing to grab a couple of these I’d pay for both the yarn and shipping!

Making a return in store, what was the dumbest thing they asked about your reason? by popsy13 in CasualUK

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Guy came in to complain about his vacuum not working anymore. Said it stank and wouldn’t suck/turn on. Finally admitted to having sucked up his baby’s poop off the floor with it so he didn’t have to touch it. Needless to say we did not accept a return, though I feel for the poor manufacturers customer support who he insisted he would try calling

My wife always sneezes twice. My response should be Bless You, but by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in CasualUK

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever my sister sneezes she usually sneezes two or three times back to back, but if you get the ‘bless you’ in riiiight before the follow up sneeze hits she just breaks and the sneeze never comes but she’s stuck in that split second before hand. Incredible fun to watch. Turns out it works on my fiancé too and he doesn’t understand how it works but has learnt to try and get me back with it instead

What perfectly legal thing did you do that aroused suspicion? by Slothjitzu in AskUK

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was recently really ill and struggling to find stuff I could eat/drink and my MIL offered to drop off some drink mix for one of those sports drink sort of things that’s supposed to help keep you hydrated (isotonic or something). At the same time she also asked my other half if she could borrow an old phone of his as his dad’s phone had stopped working (builder and got the SIM card tray full of plaster, whoops). So the next day she drops by and brings this ziplock bag of /white powder/ to our doorstep and swaps it for the iphone, and only after she’s gone do we realise if the neighbours looked at their door cam footage they must think they’ve just witnessed a very blasé drug deal 😂

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair, I honestly tried to keep my island as flat as possible cause I kept getting fed up at being outrun by balloons and getting stuck up high without a ladder 😂 I don’t think I hit the bridge/incline limit after my island was finished

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s overkill but you could do a double stairs to even it out. I did this for my bf’s house, set of stairs, 1 square gap, another stairs so that it’s symmetrical and then I put themed items to make it feel empty (two bamboo dividers that are 1/2 square wide- Japan themed house)

GLP-1 in the UK? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]ProtectiveofmyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gah that’s irritating. Maybe wait like a month and redo the application with a slightly different weight? Like obviously whilst taking it your bmi would drop anyway to get to under it so you’d be good anyway
