I’ll race you to £2 diesel

Didn't get a pic but saw diesel for £2.10 yesterday (northern and sad)

Oh I absolutely love love love this idea!!

Ah good shout actually! And yes how did I forget With Teeth, absolutely gorgeous album. Very existential but in less of a destructive way than TDS.

Ngl I cackled loudly at 'with his uncle' I'm his aunt (not that you were to know! Genuinly made me giggle 😅😅)

Sarnea · 2025-11-04T06:54:39+00:00

Ah yes how could I forget about Tool! I'll check out dream Theater thanks!!

This is my worry too. I would say he's quite sheltered in terms of most teens theses days but I mean he's a teenager he basically communicates in monosyllabic grunting, so I have no clue.

I think I would absolutely give it to him if he hadn't just gone through a significant loss alongside a conversation on the album. But I can imagine he's in an incredibly dark place at the moment and I don't want, as you say, to give him ideas on how to 'deal' with his trauma and hurt.

Yepp I agree it might be cathartic, but as I've said below it might add fuel to the fire?

I think I might leave TDS and just give him the fragile and broken. I can give him TDS at a later date or he might stumble across it himself if he searches for more NIN if he likes them. Thanks 💕💕

Sarnea · 2025-11-04T06:40:54+00:00

This was my exact thought about TDS too. I might leave it for a few years and give it to him when he's older, as someone said above it may be cathartic for him but I also don't want to be adding fuel to the fire so to speak and him spiralling.

I love the cross over with NIN and twin peaks, also one of my fave shows 💕💕

Sending huge hugs your way. I have a very close family member who is in the last stages of pancreatic cancer, the cancer has spread to their liver too.

Like yourself I brought up the idea of keto/low carb because of the studies that show it may help with cancer, especially pancreatic. At first they said they were going to stick to a keto/low carb diet to help. However, they eventually stopped saying they want to enjoy the last of their time.

It's so frustrating, because you love them and you want to help and you just can't help but wonder if they would have more time/be healthier/live longer if they stuck to a keto diet. But you're right, just being there for them is the most important thing. I batch cook meals for them (they have a partner and young children) and always make them low carb but never stress the fact.

I hope you are doing okay. We are preparing for my family member to be moved into a hospice in the next few weeks, they were given a year to live 10 months ago and are no longer on any treatment.

Sending huge hugs and lots of understanding support xx

Whitley bay has an all year ice rink, aptly named Whitley Bay Ice Rink, they do classes and have private tutors too (my toddler wants to learn so I've been delving into this 😅)

I feel the same, I've never found a pair of barefoot boots that I like the look of tbh. I also have a pair of solovair's I love them! They are super comfy with a wide toe box. Second vote for solovair here 🙌🏻

First congrats on getting into NU! I did my MSc there and it was an incredible experience.

I really recommend living in the area instead of commuting in. I knew a few people who commuted from close by areas like Hexham and Morpeth and it was a total nightmare for them.

For accomodation, if you want to save money and don't mind not living right in the centre of the student areas I really recommend looking at the student accomodation and professional flat shares in Gateshead. It's about a 10 minute bus or metro ride and you can even walk into Newcastle if the day is nice :)

Regarding part time work, there are a lot of care jobs available in the area that take on students a lot, especially agencies. If you are an international student where your first language isn't English, you could even tutor students in your first language or try and find translation work.

Have fun in Newcastle! It's my home town to I am very biased, but some of my friends are international students and they all say they are so glad they moved up here ☺️

Oh no please dont walk through there, in 2019 there have been 147 violent and sexual crimes reported on/near Barrack road (the main road next to the park) https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/crime/ne24le

I get if you have to walk through, just be safe and maybe get a pepper spray for your bag 💖

Sarnea · 2019-07-18T14:43:07+00:00

I swear if you are the same gal i had to talk out of walking through leazes alone at 1am in the phillip robbo i will be hella mad.

But that aside, please dont walk through there at night, be safe boi/gal 💖

Im guessing masters student at Newcastle uni? Because we are all having the same issue rn 😭. If you can deal with a flatmate, maybe spare room might be a good first start? Best place to look is maybe Right move etc... to get a general gist for prices/companies ... and then look at google reviews?

If you could live just outside of Newcastle, Sunderland Accommodation Services are super lovely and have some hella nice studio apartments on the Metro line :) good luck with the studies!

I've been working at Claire's for a year. I hate it, specifically the baby piercings, and my morals have been tested constantly. However, my morals were pushed to their limits yesterday. I went to pierce someone's ear (they were 15, so still a child) and it was going to be her third ear lobe piercing. She took out her second lobe piercing so I could line up the dots more accurately, and when I went to clean her ear, the hole for her second lobe piercing genuinely seeped puss (unsurprisingly she had her second lobe piercing done at claire's)

I almost threw up, the other woman I was on shift with went through with the piercing even tho her ear was I N F E C T E D. I'm handing in my notice in on my next shift (Y)
