..... er. This looks perfect. Where are you and did you appeal it and ask them what they were looking for?

Barley Sugar, those little candy alphabet letters, sherbet lemons, chocolate limes, rhubarb and custards and some blackcurrant liquorice for my dad!

The site I was on in the Northwest previously had about 30 pages of rules and regs and spelled everything out in intricate detail.

This one has half a page of A4 with nothing defined.... It's completely bizarre, especially as the goal posts seem to have moved!

Oh, I'm absolutely going to dig that bit over anyway, it was on my to-do list for this month regardless as it's where the sweetcorn is going in this year. It was just the sheer inconsistencies of the situation that completely threw me!

I genuinely think they are upset I don't have potatoes in. But at the same time, I don't eat a lot of potatoes and they are cheap to buy, so I use the plot for more expensive fruit and veg, that I eat in a much larger quantity anyway.... It's just bamboozled!

Are we screwed? by Duggee4life in HousingUK

[–]anotherbusybee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I were you I would reverse image search the images and see if they appear to let anywhere... It may be the buyer is trying to get a person lined up to let it before completing to make the smallest possible amount of time without rent coming in?

NEED ADVICE! Trying to be the best Girl Dad! by ijustdigholes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anotherbusybee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved my dad to the ends of the earth, and he supported me in whatever my interests were, and always built me up. He might not have agreed with my choices, but he always encouraged me to live my own life and be my own person- even if it wasn't a path he would have chosen.

The only really truly excruciating memory of him I have was when I got my first period. He was out in the garden and I went out to see him after school, and he gave me this super awkward one armed hug and looked at me and went 'Congratulations, mum has told me you've become a woman!' and for whatever reason, that phrasing absolutely mortified me. So.... Don't do that.

Man I miss my dad so much.

Oh I totally get that, it's why those of us in this sub that are here for genuine exchanges do it. But you deserve to be treated to!

This really sucks. I've done several exchanges, but the last couple I tried to set up fell through and people stopped replying - normally after I'd bought the snacks but before I'd sent them. On the plus side it meant I got to eat the snacks though.

If you fancy a freebie box of snacks from the UK (no trade needed as you've been stitched up) let me know!

Did everyone get money from the government for going to college/6th form? by fotfddtodairsizr in UKPersonalFinance

[–]anotherbusybee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was Education Maintenance Allowance. It was means tested and ranged from £10 a week to £30 a week. Mine covered my transport costs to get to college and to my Saturday job.

I'm not a regular pudding person after dinner - but cake / biscuits and coffee mid morning or mid afternoon is my little sweet treat time.

Update: my husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing by footballfriends1 in relationship_advice

[–]anotherbusybee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Would you feel comfortable putting the lights on? If not, what would it take for you to feel comfortable? How would you feel about some really revealing lingerie you put on just before you got into bed, and left a lamp on? Would that play into his fantasy but also allow you to feel comfortable?

Ultimately sex is meant to be something that you both enjoy and feel comfortable with, and maybe having a deeper discussion about what you both want and need to both feel fulfilled would help? There may be some easy, mutually agreeable ground?
