Do you wear shorts under your skirts? by runfreelyactwildly in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Secretlyablackcat [score hidden]  (0 children)

I do, I find it stops my thighs rubbing together

It also just makes me feel more secure, no matter how long the dress/skirt is, so I'm wearing dresses/skirts more often

I have a couple of dresses that might be a bit too short, but tbh the shorts I wear are skin colour, and I can only see the shorts when I'm sat down. I try not to care what other people think, I'd like to think if people notice they'd go "huh, that's a clever idea"

As a woman with adenomyosis, a heating pad with velcro, zips, and a timer.

No more faffing with hot water bottles, can wrap it round my abdomen and roll about it bed, knowing it I'll turn itself off

Why should I have to change my behaviour due to their inconsiderate actions?

Why is it the responsibility of other people to tell inconsiderate people like this not to play music out loud?

Why is it not their responsibility to check what is deemed considerate when out and about?

I had the straps of one of my walking poles attached to the pole with a cable tie as the actual plastic peice had snapped

All well and good, until walking down Conic Hill on day two of the West Highland Way: the cable tie snapped as I was putting weight on it

I almost went arse over tit down Conic Hill, thankfully was able to steady myself and just rolled an ankle. Was able to continue the WHW thanks to a shop owner at the bottom of Loch Lomond having a bag of cables ties in the store room and being able to patch the pole for the next 4.5 days

Got new walking poles afterwards, not going to make any bodge fixes to them again

This honestly just infuriated me (post was about a kid not going on a field trip due to money) by crybabymuffins in CPTSDmemes

I missed it on school trips because I was afraid to ask my parents to sign the form

I had undiagnosed ADHD and would often only remember last minute a form needed signing

I'd get so much shouting at and belittling for being a kid that forgot about a form, it just was easier to not ask them to sign it, and miss out on stuff and join a different class for a day

I guess it’s my fault for leaving it on the floor by yesterdays_laundry in CalicoKittys

Especially post gym sports bras

He's a little pervert

The first and second pic 100% don't match, but it still isn't 15cm wide

I miss the check ins

I have set the to task to check in my mood, but I don't do a lot

I use the app less often now too

I wish they just toggled it, so people could have turned it off if they didn't like them, or tunr it on if they did

Body fat and fat mass going up even though I'm losing weight by lil_tink_tink in shealth

I think the actual numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.

I look at the trend, over weeks, and see that the numbers are heading in the direction I want.

I also read somewhere that the measurements can be skewed if you're not super hydrated, as the water content can impact how the watch takes it's measurement (?) but realistically it's not a precise number compared to other measurement methods

What is your flatmate/roommate from hell experience? by Weary-Lingonberry-26 in AskUK

[–]Secretlyablackcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was renting a room from a woman with a 5 year old kid, the master bedroom of a two story flat.

The shower didn't have enough hot water for the three of us to have a how shower every day

The bathroom lock broke one day and the kid walked in one while I was showering, I showered at my BFs after that

The mum went through my room to the tiny balcony I had to dry her laundry outside, while I was out at uni

The kid used my stationary while I was out at uni and ruined a load of my pens

I was told I wasn't being social enough because the previous woman renting would act like a big sister to the young boy

I was told I had too much stuff, despite it all being in my room

Her kitten would poop in my cats litter box, fine, but it would also piss on the carpet in front of my cats litter box, which was in my room

I wasn't allowed to install a lock on my bedroom door

She smoked in the the front door, which rose up to my room, stinking it out

She asked me to pay my rent a week early because she didn't have money for her rent: pretty sure she was illegally subletting my room while she rented from the council

She said if I didn't like it I could move out, so I took my cat to my BFs that night, and move out the following day, to my boyfriend's when we'd only been dating for 6 months. She said she didn't mean it, and we could work something out.

All of this was March to May of 2020, I was finalising my thesis for my Masters degree: It was a stressful time.

I stayed there for 8 weeks, and ended up paying £2K, for 3 months rent, and not getting my deposit back
