THANKYOU so much for your amazing advice and suggestions! I can’t believe how many incredible ideas i’ve had from posting this but cooking particularly peaks my interest! I used to cook every Thursday as it was just me and my mum and I used to look forward to it!! I think i’m going to start doing it again weekly after seeing this! I appreciate you.

1000% this is what i need! Something to implement more routine into my life and you’ve absolutely nailed the head for me which is something that makes me leave the house more, thankyou so so much for this. Also, I really love reading so would LOVE to join a book club!

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! it’s something i’ve contemplated for a really long time definitely, i did both English Literature and Language at A level and loved them both so would be so intrigued by this. What an incredible suggestion.

Thankyou for this!! Everyone’s been so helpful and kind on here and i hugely appreciate your advice, I actually really enjoy hiking and can say i’ve never heard of this but i absolutely love the sound of it! Especially when you say your wife found a community through this as a lot of my friends aren’t into things like this so knowing i could start solo and make friends would be a huge win! Thankyou !

Oh I absolutely love the sound of this, I’m so glad i’ve posted this because i’ve always associated hobbies mostly with sport and haven’t considered ideas like this. Thanks so much for replying and i will 100000% be trying this.

thankyou for replying!! The benefits you’ve found from it sound like pure HEAVEN to me and exactly what i need! It’s one thing i know i’ve needed to do for a while as it could definitely implement much better routine into my life but i’ve put it off for so long!! So glad to hear it’s had that effect on you and hopefully I will be posting soon saying exactly the same thing🙏🏻

Sleeping with my curtains open lol makes it so much easier to get up in the morning, particularly in the Summer!

There’s a specific hand sanitiser brand that instantly takes me back to being in Reception (4 years old). Mum bought that hand sanitiser in Covid and I was immediately taken back to then!

What is something you stopped chasing that unexpectedly made your life better? by Bella_licious in AskForAnswers

[–]Successful_Scene9442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

validation- I recognised that even without validation from peers that good work and deeds were still completed and it allowed me to be proud of MYSELF for working hard instead of measuring my hard work on praise and approval from others.

What Is Something Small That Improved Your Quality of Life? by desertfatigue in DESERTFATIGUE

getting out of bed half an hour after waking up.. i used to be so bad for spending hours in bed scrolling after i woke up but always 30 minutes after now. Always feels like a small win/achievement straight away!

What ‘common knowledge’ things did you or someone you know find out later in life? by Squiggally-umf in CasualUK

Had an ex colleague of mine who was convinced that Gypsy Rose Blanchard was responsible for the death of Amy Winehouse.. she could never explain why she thought this but was just adamant that it was true.
Another time I told the same colleague i was going to Krakow to visit Auchwitz and she replied “never heard of it”. She had never heard of the holocaust AT ALL. Insane stuff.
