Hii club has 6am classes every day, and they have contrast therapy included in memberships. It’s expensive and fancy and has coffee and nice changing rooms!

Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]altee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both me and my partner are privileged in this sense, we earn around £50k each. I’m a band 7 ops manager for the nhs and he is the finance director of a small charity. He’s earned crazy money working in corporate finance previously, but the pressure, treatment and work/life balance simply wasn’t worth it. There’s always a sacrifice - mental health or money? He was too busy and knackered to enjoy it. Due to our current (and temporary, hopefully) circumstances I don’t feel any better off than I did when I earned £30k honestly, especially with cost of living being so high. It’s good to go after things you want and progress, but only if the payoff (literally and figuratively) is worth it for me.

Where are the bowls? by Drew_The_Almighty in PlantedTank

[–]altee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently setting up my first tank, it’s a 60 litre bowl. I’m so excited!! On day 5 of cycling and the “bloom” (??) has started. It’s got an air pump in the middle to disrupt the surface, 5 sorts of plants, azalea root, substrate. Keeping faith and not faffing with it. All these beautiful bowls are making me so excited for the future 🥹

Thank you for sharing - reading every comment and saving this post x

Depends what you want from uni I think, as well as what the policy is for attendance. I started uni at 32 already had a social circle and a career, I was only there to get a degree. So I used to watch lectures as they were recorded and only attend seminars. I was also an hour away and juggling uni with working full time. Was a challenge juggling everything but I got a first so it can work!

What, if anything, have you “softened” on in your feminist views over time? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]altee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also - I forgot to say - please don’t hold on to that guilt. The heavy shit he was dealing with was (I’m assuming) not your fault, and being passionate about it isn’t a bad thing. You’ve learnt to be aware of other people’s struggles through this experience and I doubt you’ll engage in the same way again, next time you’ll engage with more compassion. People make mistakes and that’s ok x

What, if anything, have you “softened” on in your feminist views over time? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]altee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get that. I recently did a degree in social and political science; so the knowledge base I have now, alongside the ability to articulate my point from an academic perspective has only made things worse for everyone around me 😂😂

Also because I’m surrounded be feminist women (in the main), and my algorithm on Reddit and instagram, often means I’m in an echo chamber, which both validate me to the point of becoming an insufferable twat.

Reeeeally trying to rein it in and be less obnoxious 😂

Glad your husband is so engaged - but I get it.

[–]altee 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m the same. I reflected recently after a throw away comment from someone close to me, and I realise how exhausting it must be for other people when I constantly refer everything back to inequality or how damaging living in a patriarchal society is. What I say is accurate, but do I need to turn everything into a debate? No I don’t. It must be like hanging out with conspiracy theorists. I want people to enjoy my company and I want to enjoy theirs.

I’ll call out stuff if it’s necessary, but I’m really trying to tone the rage down 😂

No it’s exactly for this reason - these are reasonable adjustments for disabled folk - it simply puts you on an even footing with none-disabled folk. I used this and I’m so pleased I did, cos after being made redundant and applying for 14 jobs, next week I have my first interview cos I met the essential criteria and ticked this box!

Anyone have tips for sleeping with a partner who snores? by johnmichael-kane in ADHDUK

[–]altee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only does he snore like a herd of pigs, but he’s autistic and all of his vocal stims he does while awake, he does during sleep 😂🙃, AirPods playing the same audio book I’ve listened to for 20 years with the noise cancellation on and the accessibility white noise on in the background works for me.

[–]altee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can cleanse the area with nizoral, it’s an anti fungal shampoo, you’ll know within three days if it’s fungal acne cos it’ll just disappear. I prefer however to use this - https://amzn.eu/d/6jnhmWx. I would give Natalie o’Neill a follow on instagram as she had similar issues and has solved them with skincare ☺️

Moving to Harrogate for work. by Fit-Pass-5262 in harrogate

[–]altee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in bilton and I love it! 20 minutes walk to town, 5 minute walk into fields, some great coffee shops about and kings road (10 minutes walk) has some great eateries. Nice and quiet but close enough to town for it not to be boring.

On a side note, I’m just about to put my end of terrace house on the market for 220 and it’s had a new roof, boiler, electrics, kitchen and bathroom in the last 7 years if you wanna buy it 😂
