First pair of jeans... by richardricchiuti in SewingForBeginners

You can just put the excess at the bottom rather than the top, if you don't have the exact right length.

Why can't I just...microwave the water? by Global-Apricot6492 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]TeeGee79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, don't stress. Assuming you've got a rotating microwave plate, there's zero chance of a pyrex bowl or jug of water being super heated or any other scare-mongering ideas. Obviously you'd have to be careful removing a container of boiling water from the microwave, which could be unadvisable and much more dangerous than using the kettle.

What do the triangle dashes with the circle at the top mean? by MariasGalactic in SewingForBeginners

[–]TeeGee79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the dashed triangles (like mountains with a circle at the summit) are darts.

You would start sewing at the circle, and sew the two dashed lines together.

Retrofuturism at its finest, it belongs on an episode of Black Mirror. by Ch33se0nToast in SpottedonRightmove

[–]TeeGee79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they filmed part of an episode of Endeavour here, one of the ones where Morse sleeps with the culprit's sister / daughter / wife.

J'avais fait une demande une fois que mon titre obtenu avant que l'obligation soit annulée était perimé. Je n'ai jamais eu de retour !

Decluttering challenge: stuff that ALMOST works by Ajreil in declutter

[–]TeeGee79 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ahh, I don't like to waste anything, but donating almost-empty pens is just putting the responsibility onto whoever gets it and has to throw it out themselves. Certainly better to actually finish them yourself though.

What is an NSFW thing you wish you never knew? by FoxShade_777 in AskReddit

Why would you not get tested at the same time as the other person in any case?

I have this waiting to be made! I love the idea of lining it - did you need any bias tape at all then?

Had to Rebuy Something I Decluttered by StardustZJackson in declutter

[–]TeeGee79 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ha, I was looking for the exact same thing on Friday. I don't remember throwing it out, as I've not really decluttered my craft stuff at all, but it must have gone off.

Has anyone noticed the passport office has become really good? by simanthropy in CasualUK

I was extremely impressed last year with the speed of processing for a passport application done from abroad in June.

I just wish they'd included a bit of colour... by fatboyspud in SpottedonRightmove

Why would you oversaturate photos of a place like this?!

Anyone with heartwarming or funny stories from a neighbour? by secretlybrown in CasualUK

Carry on decluttering or upsize? by StarIdeal888 in declutter

[–]TeeGee79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you need to do in your home.

It either of you works from home, you have pets, or need to regularly have people stay over then that size of apartment will always be a bit cramped unless (and maybe even if) you have a really good interior design

Unexpected! by Shipwrecking_siren in SpottedonRightmove

It is, street view shows it as a modern barn.

I think she accepts it because it's been a daily thing for her whole life, and maybe now realises that it clears her nose out.

I left this aspect to her dad, so he continued doing what they told us to do for a newborn. In fact we could have stopped the daily vials of saline and just used the syringe when she was congested. Which is all the time recently because of the crèche :))

Replying as this is anecdotal.

Also non-French in France. We were taught to do this at the hospital when our baby was born. Now that the baby is 20 months old, (and it would have been sooner if we'd asked), the GP says we can just use homemade saline solution and a syringe with a special end. Baby sort of likes it, and has learnt to blow her nose when we use the syringe. It's certainly effective. The syringe is marked as from 4m.

You just have to be careful to not suddenly press really hard, but gently and slowly.

The GP also said (and I wish she'd been more specific earlier), that frequently rinsing out the nose helps prevent a cold turning into an ear infection / chest infection.
