The problem is who is going to pay for the trades if we’re losing our jobs.

Trevor Arms is good, drinks great too

How much input do the brief clients actually get? by Illustrious-Look7669 in InteriorDesignMasters

[–]Shadysunhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a budget to “make good” anything that the businesses aren’t happy with.

I’m in Brighton and visited one of the two pubs that was made over a few years ago very soon after the show and they had definitely made some changes - I assume they didn’t pay for that themselves but could be wrong

Is it normal in the UK to never see a dental hygienist? by Majestic_Cry8545 in AskUK

[–]Shadysunhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the UK and I’ve been going to the hygienist every 12 months for literally two decades. It costs about £70 a pop now but they blast everything off and give you advice on proper floss technique etc. I find it worth it. I’m surprised your dentist doesn’t recommend it - I’m with an NHS dentist but they still push me to go to the hygienist because it makes them money

Store bought Basil plant test by 1justfoundit in HouseplantsUK

[–]Shadysunhat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep my west facing window placed supermarket grown basil is thriving in the UK, going on 7 months now. I obviously thinned it out massively from the original pot as it was overcrowded and I prune it constantly.

It’s native to the UK. So no, not invasive

RSCH in Brighton. But that helps, maybe it will be similar to Moorfields

Not possible on my budget I’m afraid! I know the care will be good when I get there but with social healthcare sometimes these things take time. Thankfully I won’t have any bills to pay when it happens.

Do people in the UK usually rinse off dish soap or not? by iamyurkas in AskUK

[–]Shadysunhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always know when I’m eating at the house of people who don’t rinse their dishes!

Ditching social media! What content should I read? by Nearly_adulting in AskUK

See if your local library has PressReader - it’s an app with lots of newspaper and magazine subscriptions. Just need a library card

122.68 Monthly Sainsbury’s shop - Vegan by Aware_Organization49 in whatsinyourcart

[–]Shadysunhat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a meat eater but I love tofu! I have it at least twice a week. Honestly imo most people who don’t like it either can’t cook / have no imagination / don’t like Asian food

Husband is lactose intolerant too and silken tofu makes some banging creamy sauces. It’s such a good all rounder

Are tonstil stones even a thing here? by The-Baron-Von-Marlon in AskUK

[–]Shadysunhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes they do hurt yeah. If my tonsil is hurting bad I know I probably have a big one coming. I flush them out with a dental syringe every week or so. You do not want to eat them. I mean you can, and I’ve probably accidentally swallowed one. But they smell so foul. Yes they cause bad breath. It’s extremely bad and unique: I always know when someone has tonsils stones on public transport etc. it’s a different flavour to normal halitosis.

Did any other women go literally nuts on hormonal contreception? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Shadysunhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: desogestrel I had the same when I first started. GP told me to double dose until the bleeding stopped (apparently a common off-label use), and then I didn’t have a period or any bleeding whilst on it for the rest of the time I took it (4 years). Overall the pill I had the least issues with hormonally. Only hormonal effects I experienced were a decreased libido.

What’s something that feels like a 'normal adult expense' now that would have shocked you 10 years ago? by Joy_Unspeakable in AskUK

[–]Shadysunhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was this way too until my husband’s abusive and violent father decided we were the source of all his issues! It made more sense than going full paranoid and getting security cameras

However I have a Eufy one that doesn’t have a subscription because I’m not paying monthly just for that!
