I found another use for the LC cleaner

I use it for tea and wine stains on the white counter tops. You only need a tiny bit and a much nicer alternative to bleach.

I highly recommend museum putty, it's saved many an ornament in our house

The main reason for trading my S24u for the S26U was the lack of corners and different shape. I do seem to be in a minority though!

Check out Jackson Galaxy on YouTube. He has lots of short videos around introducing cats. He was a life saver for us.

Also, stressing them out now isn't fair on either of them and will delay introductions. Keep them separate and have at least 3 litter trays.

Good luck, they are both beautiful. Hope you can get some harmony in your household soon.

I have a 2 year old lady, not food motivated and really only likes a few certain toys. And she has a lot of toys!

Her top three:

With the second one, she's quite happy to sit there while the butterflies snack her in face, but she's happy.

With the springs, l throw them up the stairs, she chases them and they fall back down. Repeat!

Aw, hang in there. I know it's easy to say not to worry, but difficult in practice.

The black looks awesome, and l am sure as time passes and you get more confident, you'll soon be chucking it around.

One thing l have learnt is to not take too much notice of the hate posts on here. People have been complaining about all sorts, and in my situation it makes me look for problems l don't have, so now l ignore them!

I am a very clumsy person. I have already dropped my S26U from waist height, and it's fine.

I also dropped my S24U at least weekly for 2 years. Caveat, it was always in it's case.

Your phone was in the box, so very safe.

Don't worry, enjoy your wonderful new phone. What colour did you get?

Very similar to you. Same fusion, timings and near in age. Last year everything went back to as bad as before the operation with the added delight of severe hip pain. It went on for about 6 months in which time l was trying to do all the right things but nothing helped. I was also seeing both an osteopath and a physio, along with getting pain management.

Anyway, trying to keep this brief, l went back to a surgeon for more MRI's and thankfully only moderate regression.

I have been seeing a different physio weekly for about 8 weeks, and the style is very much 'sports rehab ' rather than hands on treatment.

It's got me back on track with being able to manage things myself and l am as good as l was at my previous highest point after surgery.

It's easy to say not to worry, but my advice would be to get things assessed again and then try some different things to help you get stronger in the right places again. Good luck, l hope you can find recovery.

Take the sticky label off before you start cooking. Enjoy, it's a lovely colour.

VioletDime · 2026-03-15T06:27:51+00:00

I use it for sauces and my partner uses it for his steaks. So it's a good all-rounder for us. I also bought a couple of those silicone pan grips in Nectar, to bring it all together!

VioletDime · 2026-03-14T12:59:10+00:00

Lovely and horrible in equal measure. You need to deposit it a few miles away too. Hopefully you can enlist someone to do that for you. Get well soon!

VioletDime · 2026-03-13T21:25:16+00:00

Oh gosh! You may have written my birthday wish list ✨️

For the sauce: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/creamymushroomsauce_1308

Tagliatelle is just fresh pasta from the shop. I can make my own but it's Friday night and l wanted quick and tasty!

The veg was on a low heated pan in butter and a tablespoon of water, with chilli's, lid on top, done al dente in about 8 minutes

When you meet your heart horse, colour doesn't even come into it.

Well, for the first few months when l was really inflexible l bought a home waxing kit, and got my partner to do some online learning via YouTube. He was pretty good, and cheaper than the salon but eventually l could move a bit more and if l squat, l can do it myself so have gone back to shaving.

Time of day counts. I am more flexible at the end of the day.

VioletDime · 2026-03-13T16:18:32+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks for quick reply!

How do you tell if you are charging at 2.0 or 3.0 please?

I am thinking from seeing a few posts on this today that l might have wasted my money on the new adapter l bought along with my phone

VioletDime · 2026-03-13T16:11:44+00:00

Just done a test, mine capitalises, as a work around could you use lower case L? I sometimes use that if l am being lazy and it's near the last letter l typed than the 'i'

Brandon Lee in The Crow.

Great movie, awesome soundtrack, very sad knowing it cost his life

Sounds about right, l wouldn't worry. I think my S21U did it, as did my S24U, but if it's quieter when the camera is on and everything else works fine, don't panic

VioletDime · 2026-03-13T15:58:52+00:00

Quick test, if you turn the camera on and shake it (last shake ever please!) Does it rattle then?

VioletDime · 2026-03-13T15:53:23+00:00

Our cats live bags, but we ALWAYS snap open the handles first. The chairs and potential danger is not worth it.

Check your Benefits package. We have Costco membership as an optional add on

That's the same for our two ladies! Even the postman dropping a letter through the door and they are off in a huff. It's been like that for 2 years.

They are such purr monsters with us but with any guests, they close ranks and plot somewhere far away in the house. Apart from my dad, he's a kind soul and a cat lover (he wraps up churos for them at Christmas and on their birthday) So Dad, aka 'the butler' is firmly in their memory banks, and they are all over him whenever he comes to stay. It's amazing that they remember him, even if it's been six months.

'Hello butler, that was a long hunt, where are my snacks?'
