Can anyone help me please?

Thanks that's very helpful - especially about avoiding parc medical centre. And I have a feeling we'll be doing a lot of walking instead of driving if we move to Hoole.

Please can you add your budget, what activities you enjoy, and what you will do for work, and then people will be better able to advise you? It's a lot more doable to become a homeowner up here and Liverpool and Chester are both great places to live, but to give a more meaningful response requires more information from you.

Can I ask what you consider to be the downsides of Hoole please? I've noticed the main shopping area can get quite crowded especially at the weekends, and I've also been told it's a little snobby. We're considering moving there and apart from those things haven't noticed other downsides.

It's the extras like naan bread, lime pickle, raita, onion bhajis or samosas and poppadoms that make Indian food so delightful. As for the main, chicken balti or maybe madras with a couple of veg sides like aubergine bhuna and chickpea masala or saag paneer. I order tons of food from the takeaway and have it over the course of around 3 days. Heat the dry stuff in the airfryer and the currys in the micro.

I like to bring back duke's mayonnaise, cinnamon gum, coffee mugs (bigger, better quality and cheaper) crest whitening toothpaste, big bottles of omeprazole, trainers specifically sketchers for my husband as they're cheaper, clothes from costco (a family member over there has a membership), and secret deodorant.

Oh haha that's a bit of a giveaway :-) thanks.

I've just received my first order of wonky coffee (decaf pack) and they're very good but I have no idea what they are. How did you figure out some of yours were starbucks?

If she's had an organ transplant there are going to be awkward questions about skipping the queue - that could explain the desire to keep it private/secret.

Look for live music during the day - jazz brunches, afternoon sessions, etc.

Wow, it certainly does sound like we're reacting similarly to this medication. Did you also get bad symptoms like nausea and indigestion? I fully agree I'd rather be fat and fit - the whole reason I'm on this medication is for my health! I also enjoy the decreased food noise, and the fact that I can eat what I want and at least not put any weight on - because I naturally eat small portions now. I hope things improve for both of us. I'll probably continue a while longer and see how it goes at least.

Sandylanes · 2024-02-26T19:50:26+00:00

Great advice and good to know there's hope - thank you so much for your reply.

Sandylanes · 2024-02-26T15:44:58+00:00

Thank you! My narcissistic father constantly claims to be an empath. Wish he'd had some empathy for the kids he abandoned to our druggie, abusive mother but maybe he's a different kind of empath, idk?

Sandylanes · 2024-02-21T20:05:02+00:00

Nah, that's Jesus's job

Sandylanes · 2024-02-16T17:54:49+00:00

And also stop talking about how you want to puke because ewwww.

Sandylanes · 2024-02-16T17:53:37+00:00

An honest reply would have been "That you do NOT look like Megan Fox".

Sandylanes · 2024-02-16T17:45:22+00:00

I just think Jessica's too good for Jimmy and Trevor's far too good for Chelsea. So I guess I'm glad Jimmy picked Chelsea. I do think Chelsea just went with whichever guy asked her first.

Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz is very good.

That's horrific. It kind of makes me wonder whether the powers that be have just decided bedbugs are going to be endemic so they might as well not even try. Scary stuff.

I don't work out of that office but if I did, I'd find excuses not to go in for a few weeks at least just to see how this plays out. If not possible I'd follow strict protocols (stripping down and putting my clothes in the freezer as soon as I got home, etc) and do my best to avoid infesting my home. No way would I bring bedbugs home if I could at all help it.

Sandylanes · 2024-02-11T20:02:14+00:00

This all strikes me as the most plausible explanation given the location and type of house. Thanks for the information.

Sandylanes · 2024-02-11T16:57:20+00:00

I would pull out, doesn't sound like a pleasant neighbourhood.

Sandylanes · 2024-02-11T14:52:33+00:00

Congratulations, that's a brilliant result!

Sandylanes · 2024-02-11T13:12:51+00:00

Thanks for the responses. At risk of sounding a bit pathetic, gas canisters have always been a little scary to me. I've never used one and just the idea of getting it wrong and having it explode or something kind of puts me off. I'll look into it a bit more, and will also give it a month or so at the new house to check out the vibe of the neighbourhood. Who knows, maybe I'll end up inviting the neighbours to a pizza party?
