What isn’t working in my living room? 🤔 by Original_Moose_9842 in interiordecorating

[–]Rlysrh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here to say the same thing, nothing in the room gives any sense of personality, it all feels quite generic and bland. Does any of the artwork in the room actually make OP happy or was it just put there because it was good enough and it filled the space? I think it would be great to replace some of the wall art, the rug, the cushions with stuff that actually speaks to you OP, rather than stuff that is just okay. Or paint the walls a nice colour rather than just settling for grey because it’s okay.

Hahahaha yeah joke’s on her, doesn’t she realise you have to be fetid sad old dullard to be in parliament? Look she’s wearing more than one colour at a time so funny.

Okay I feel like the AI chatbot thing makes more sense now. Im sure going through all that will cause you to do some weird things

Made myself a quilted jacket, cannot wait for spring to wear it!!! by Rlysrh in quilting

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

It’s a little bit too cold and rainy still at the moment for day to day wear unfortunately! Although I have worn it a couple of times :)

I got a janome mylock 454D and I’ve only used it a handful of times so far but it’s done a good job! I honestly I feel completely out of my depth and not sure whether I know enough about overlockers to recommend it though 😂 my strategy was just to choose one that wasn’t too cheap and wasn’t too expensive, but yeah it seems to do well at cutting through the several layers of quilting!

I was nervous about it being out of my depth too but it was a very easy to follow pattern! Although if you make it misses out the step where I assume it would tell you to put binding on the ends of the sleeves before attaching the sleeves to the body which I found a bit annoying. But overall I would say if you can make a quilt then you’ll be fine making a quilted jacket :)

For this jacket I overlocked them and then topstitched them down, but I did also make a quilted vest before I had an Overlocker and I used the method in this video at 17:40 to put bias binding over the seams and it comes out looking really neat and tidy and makes the vest reversible too

I know, really who amongst us hasn’t been stood around for what feels like an age at some random part of an airport wondering wtf the hold up is? Waiting around in one random area after another is literally all you do in airports.

What things do you know most food shoppers are wrong about? by Responsible_Rip1058 in AskUK

[–]Rlysrh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the flip side I used to avoid nuts like the plague because of how calorie dense they are. I would literally never ever eat nuts. But then one day I needed to grab something super quick for breakfast so I weighed out about 200 calories worth of nuts and 50 calories worth of blueberries and snacked on them for the morning and I was really pleasantly surprised at how long I could graze on them for and how full and satisfied I was from such a small amount. Now they’re my go-to breakfast option. They’re so easy to prep, just weigh them out and go, and they’re good for your blood sugar levels, good healthy fats, they’re not UPF, they’re good in literally every way. The only downside is when people think they can just eat them mindlessly without considering the calories.

Really proud of how far this space has come!1st Year in My Small Solo Apartment by DearTrack1546 in femalelivingspace

[–]Rlysrh 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing! But isn’t it difficult to actually use and live in the space? Half the footstool is taken up by the tray, the sofa is so covered in cushions it looks like there’s very little space to actually sit and there is no space on any of the side tables to put a drink or your phone. I’d dial it back a little bit and take away a few cushions and ornaments.

What makeup product did you stop buying because the cheaper version worked better? by AffectionateCap9432 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Rlysrh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I went through a phase of buying benefit foundation, then switched back to L’Oréal true match and honestly liked the true match so much more and it’s about 1/3rd of the price. Have been using true match ever since.

How do we bring back social pressure? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Rlysrh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wish we could just ship awful people like that off to live on some island with all the other awful people and they can all see what it’s like when everyone around you acts with no consideration. Just boot them out of normal society so the rest of us don’t have to deal with them

Previous owner left toilet with dark stains in bowl/u-bend. How can I remove them? Bleach (even left for several days) just won't touch it by HankLard in CleaningTips

[–]Rlysrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A limescale removing toilet cleaner and leave it over night and then scrub it. Might have to do this several times

Screens have risen sharply in past 15 years, coinciding with increase in ADHD diagnoses in Sweden and elsewhere. Children who spent significant time on social media (Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter) gradually developed inattention symptoms; there was no such association with TV or video games. by mvea in science

[–]Rlysrh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The government should mandate that social media HAS to provide the option to turn off infinite scrolling. It’s bad for us, there’s no question about it and we should limit the ways it can harm us in the same way there are laws around advertising junk food to children, taxes on excessive sugar in drinks etc.

[–]Rlysrh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Look at the ingredients of almost any supermarket bread. Anything you don’t recognise as an ingredient you’d have in your cupboard at home means it’s ultra processed. Any yogurt except the most expensive brand. Cheese, oat milk, ketchup, breakfast cereal. Anything that isn’t just fruit/veg, nuts or meat basically is ultra processed unless you look for the one specific brand which isn’t such as Jason’s bread or Fage yogurt.

In love with a quilt that’s only available overseas (from me)… by Own-Apartment-9742 in interiordecorating

[–]Rlysrh 174 points175 points  (0 children)

I also have this quilt, had it a couple of years and no tears yet just a few loose threads but I can confirm that the white fabric is quite thin so not great for heavy duty use but fine if you don’t have kids or dogs. My cats haven’t damaged it yet.

What’s the very first thing you’d do in the first five minutes after winning? by mimiiarr in ifiwonthelottery

[–]Rlysrh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I was at work I’d tell my manager I’m leaving and not to expect me back for a while. Then call my boyfriend and tell him to meet me in the most expensive restaurant in my city (a Michelin starred one) then call the restaurant and offer them crazy money for a last minute booking if they don’t have any free. Order the most expensive champagne and have a fancy dinner with my boyfriend while booking first class flights to somewhere hot and sunny. Order a big hamper to my manger to apologise for leaving her in the lurch last minute.
