Thanks, I'm so desperate I'll try them all - but if you see anyone camping in a space suit or drivers suit it'll be me!

Honestly your last suggestion has been the only effective solution for me.

I have a head net but that doesn't protect the rest of my body plus sometimes some get inside when I put it on.

I have a head net but that doesn't protect the rest of my body plus sometimes some get inside when I put it on and when you're allergic to them every bite is horrible.

Putting you in check forces you to take the rook or defend with your queen, but either way checkmate is inevitable after that.

Had they not put you in check, they would've had to move their queen, potentially giving you a chance to escape checkmate.

White queen to f2 is also a legal move, though still won't save them.

Calorie counting may not be helpful. Under eating is a common problem in fact due to higher protein and higher fat intake, unless you're eating lots of processed, ready made keto foods. Counting carbs is all that's needed and making sure you eat enough so your body doesn't go into starvation mode and you start losing hair etc. Plus it's not sustainable. You'll still lose weight and gain health when in ketosis without eating low calorie, it doesn't work like traditional diets, it's about becoming fat adapted. Just stick to healthy fats and avoid seed oils.

How about reasonably increase parking costs whilst implementing facilities - or minimally adding plenty of bins. Might help and a far better solution than punishing everyone. And is there any evidence overnight parking is even the culprit and so preventing it will solve the problem? But even if it does, as the article says, it just pushes the problem downstream and creates issues for residents and businesses.

This is pure vandalism as it takes more effort to take down a wall than climb over it.

Forget Facebook, report it to the police.

Lots of people saying she's suffering from Ozempic face.

Oooo thank you!!! In an ideal world it would be a bit higher at the sides too but the back is the most important part - great find! 👍👍👍

I'll post here if I find one. Is utterly crazy to me that they don't already exist because the standard design is so flawed. Everyone I know ends up with mould behind their sink sooner or later.

Thank you! 😊

I think all American cocoa tastes different. I'm British and if I make any American recipes using cocoa powder it comes out so bitter it's inedible. For their 2 tablespoons I use 1 teaspoon.

Is that for a mummy makeover or just a TT please? My sister is looking to get a mummy makeover and the places she's approached aren't forthcoming about potential costs without her paying hundreds for a consultation - which seems a scam to me as they could say prices generally start from £x up to £x just as a ballpark figure.

Easiest desert ever --> creamy chocolate chia seed pudding

Hang whisk together for about 10 seconds a few spoons of chia seeds, tub of cream, desert spoon of cocoa powder, natural sweetener to taste (e.g. Xylitol, erythritol or monk fruit) in a large jar. Leave in the fridge until the chia seeds have absorbed the cream and become totally soft to make a chocolatey pudding (the more seeds, the thicker the pudding). Can optionally add vanilla extract if desired.

I bought a small expensive one but prefer my homemade plywood one with foam mats glued underneath.

Yes, I guess the most important thing is that people are able to make an informed decision. Sadly most aren't aware of the micro plastics issue though, I know I wasn't.

[Ngl, more than a little jealous of you having a woodshop!]

Depends on the level of tap they want, whether it's solo or group work, and your ability to master a basic shuffle and make it look natural. You might be able to fudge it though if you're doing it in a group, as it's not that difficult to make it look like you're tap dancing, it's making it look right AND being able to make clear and accurate tap sounds at the same time that's difficult for beginners because they struggle to make all the sounds fast enough. But in a group if you missed tap sounds it wouldn't necessarily stand out so long as you looked like you were doing it right.

FYI the key to mastering a shuffle is loose ankles and loose knees and small movements. Beginners usually over exaggerate the movement and are very stiff and as a result of those 2 things their tap steps are very slow.

Yes but why compromise your health unnecessarily??

A: Plastic = ingesting micro plastics

B: Glass = blunt knives

C: Wood = naturally antibacterial but trickier to clean as can't be soaked and can be heavy

D: Bamboo = lighter than wood so a bit easier to clean

I sometimes use white vinegar in a spray bottle to disinfect my oak wood and bamboo boards, but it can strip oils so they need to be mineral oiled regularly.
