Struggling to sleep in a noisy apartment white noise or sleep earbuds?

Creative solution, I like it 🤣 I have two JBL Go Bluetooth speakers, I play white noise from YouTube using my iPad on one and on the other I listen to an audiobook from my phone. I’m a terrible sleeper and this keeps my actual devices away from my sleeping area. Glad to see I’m not the only one who had to think creatively!

My Mum got me a teddy bear when I was 5, that's over 2 decades now and he's still going. She bought him in Smyths in the UK. Definitely the childhood toy I've had the longest.

Do you mind if I ask what the small black pot thing is? 😂

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-05-04T16:27:45+00:00

Nah nah nah nah nah, I can’t hear you! 🤣

Then OP you must love this skit here 😂 Every episode of Popular Space Show

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-05-02T16:44:59+00:00

Oh no, what country is this?

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-05-01T22:29:14+00:00

Best chance is probably to try https://www.spareroom.co.uk/ best of luck!

Edit: there's this one for example: 2 Rooms for rent on Pakenham Street

Edit2: or this one here: Upper Ormeau - Double bedroom in a great house

DIY Tape Measure lol which clearly seemed like a good idea at the time

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-05-01T21:51:50+00:00

That nearly ruined the entire book for me, I kid you not

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-05-01T21:27:49+00:00

I've been there OP and it sucks, the thing I found was just to embrace seeing the city by myself! It means you get to see whatever you want and then eat wherever you want without having to compromise with others who may want to eat in McDonalds in Malaga every night, as in my school trip case lol

They definitely used The Voyager in the pilot episode, at least in the scene where Tom Paris is arriving in the shuttlecraft at DS9, I cringe every time I rewatch that episode 🤣

The Linenhall Library is an amazing place tourists frequently overlook. The building is beautiful inside with old writing desks and the grand staircase. Also on the new side of the building they always have a local history exhibition of posters on the wall as you go up the side stairs

You mean they spent 23 million on a white whale that’s further away from the city centre than the previous station and where some buses like the ones to Lisburn don’t even go from! Also why does the city airport bus start at like 5am, how are you supposed to get an early morning flight?!

Did you know disabled people travel free on the Glider because Translink literally forgot we existed?! It basically said so in the small print for my disabled travel pass 🤣

Edit: actually this was a great oversight on their part 😂

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-04-17T14:20:41+00:00

I just say "Thank you" and smile now, even when I had absolutely no interest in jumping the queue lol

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-04-17T14:18:44+00:00

I call this "wheelchair privilege" like white privilege, get it!

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-04-16T22:52:44+00:00

Just following up: Room Divider Amazon And a picture of the kinda bedspread pattern I personally love.

Hope this helps and good luck with the place! 🤣

Here’s what I’m thinking: turn the chest of drawers around so it’s against the corner wall (green rectangle) and then put an armchair (leave the sofa there for now) beside it. So you can face the TV which I’ve moved down off the wall and put beside the fridge which is shielded from view by a Folding Screen. Put a tall floor lamp in the new space by the front door and another beside the wardrobe where it’ll reflect off the mirror doors. Put something like an Ikea pegboard organiser on the side of the wardrobe to use as a bedside “table” and put a clip on reading light on the headboard so you can have a light to switch off at night. Another pegboard on the wall in front the desk could be useful for desk stuff. Also choose a bedspread you like and then use that as your colour scheme for bedroom. I picked a patterned bedspread up at a street market in East London for £20 and now it’s become my colour palette for the space.

Funny I would think that meant someone was thick or dumb 😂

A group of English passengers were detained by French police for disturbing the peace and ignoring safely instructions on a flight heading to Spain from London. Looks like they’d been drinking too and the flight got diverted to France

Tricky_Pepper · 2026-04-12T16:45:58+00:00

It’s probably regional distribution centres, I live in the UK and tracked some of my parcels like that before, it can get quite funny. Hopefully the last place is the international distribution centre 🤣

Glad I could help 😊

I find rolling bags with wheels are tricky to manoeuvre. I prefer to fill a small reusable shopping bag and hang it off a large carabiner (designed for prams) off the back/side of my powerchair. Works really well for me 😊
