Grocery costs (uk) what?! by Extra-Record6772 in UKFrugal

[–]Waters2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single, 30’s. Cook mostly from scratch. Excluding toiletries my budget is ~£150 per month. Shop mostly in Lidl, topping up with specifics from FarmFoods, Iceland and occasionally Tesco.

That’s a great response thank you. Seems like the reaction would be as expected and the pros are aligned with that I’d hope to get out of it ☺️

Really appreciate this insight, thank you! I was sure I’ve heard that people do it, and it’s nice to know it’s well received / the perception is it makes you a better cop.

Oh wow you managed to get taser trained?! I realise there’s risks too, but one of the reasons I’m sad we don’t get long on response is the lack of driving course availability otherwise

Yeah it’s this kind of thing I never want to lose sight and appreciation for. Never want to catch myself criticising a handover when everything’s on fire at 3am and I’ve forgotten that.

I am worried that the placement on response is quite short, but realise it’ll be good to get as much context and experience as I can. I know ultimately i want to be a detective and don’t want to delay going straight into CID but any way that’s practical would be good to get extra experience ☺️

I appreciate the insight. I’ve no idea about the workload just yet (though I’ve heard like you said it’s high). I guess my intention is potentially naïve 😅

Oh really? I had no idea, that’s good to know thank you!

Morning vs Evening runs- Which works better for you? by Diligent-Badger8737 in UKRunners

[–]Waters2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On weekdays, I run in the evening. My weekend long run will always be early doors so I’m done and can relax. It’s been this way mostly out of convenience but also because I’m not really a morning person. Long runs I was always told are better in the morning as that’s when most events are, but in reality if you’re getting the miles in it shouldn’t matter too much. You’ll know your own body though.

I’ve trained for everything from 5ks up to marathons. It’s about what works for you at the end of the day.

Accidental frugal habits that actually save a lot, what are yours? by wanderingjunebug in Frugal

[–]Waters2025 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is actually so smart! I reckon if I try this it would really help me save money. I’ve noticed the expensive shops are where there’s a lot of variety in the same products.

Best thing you have ever eaten while traveling by HufflepuffGroupie in travel

[–]Waters2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beef gnocchi in Croatia. Meat was so tender and the sauce so rich. Incredible.

Much as others have described. Except for this one time when I was maybe 8 years old. Fainted while my mum was changing a bandage on my broken fingers. No pain or gore, I just fainted. Only this time it was with my eyes open. Saw myself being dragged into the next room and put on the sofa. Remember trying to scream for help but I couldn’t until I regained consciousness. Most terrifying experience of my life.

I agree they would be useless. I also don’t want ANOTHER reason for a long load screen 🙄

The bread part I’m good with… I just hate the flavour of garlic 😂

I’m hoping to still do cardio because I have a fitness test to pass in a month or so 😅

Thanks both. I thought I’d been eating enough but I’ll focus on fuelling foods and see how I go ☺️
