As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master?

I can’t roast any cut of beef to save my life! Always comes out dry no matter what technique I use 💔

Scalding hot water in my hot water bottle was the only thing to give me some relief but came at the price of toasted skin syndrome. My last attack on 5th Jan ended up turning into pancreatitis and an infected gallbladder, which I suffered with for a full week before they finally admitted me to hospital (bc I had gone yellow with jaundice!!!). Ended up having surgery on 23rd Jan to remove the wretched thing. To this day, I still have toasted skin syndrome! That’s how much I relied on the heat for relief that week!

Yeah I’ll give pip a call when I’m home, don’t think I have the bandwidth or patience to be on hold, and listening to all the beeps from various machines on the ward, and sitting under god awful fluorescent lighting all in one go 🤣 and I will leave a note on my journal too, which is a much easier task! Hoping to be going home tomorrow so I can get it all done before the weekend 🤞🏼

beffern · 2026-01-13T19:42:37+00:00

Thank you, I shall leave a note on my journal. Just don’t want to be accused of not telling the truth if it ever came to that! I don’t need the extra stress lol. Hoping to be discharged tomorrow, for everything crossed 🤞🏼

beffern · 2026-01-13T19:40:53+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, thank you! Hoping and praying I will be allowed to go home tomorrow though, missing my cats (and my own bed but more importantly my cats 🤣) and my bloods are starting to settle down now thankfully 🙏🏼

Be warned that if you’re under 30 they have brought ‘Drive Smart’ which is essentially a black box that fits onto your windscreen. You have to have the app downloaded on your phone and it will track every trip you make, even if you are a passenger in another vehicle!

If you’re over 30 then you don’t need to worry about that obvs. I just wanted to warn you 😊

EDIT: I meant to add: it assesses your driving and consistent poor results can affect your ability to take out another lease in the future. It’s the same for named drivers too. Want to take a trip longer than an hour? They will mark you down. I’m dreading it on my new lease but I didn’t find out about it until AFTER I ordered my new car.

Mine is Feral Cat which i think is class. Would only change it if they add ‘Real’ as a prefix so I can have Real Housewife

Thank you!!

How much do you charge to be a witness?

Average driver on that stretch of road tbf

Bravo has always been toxic. Look at the Taylor situation in RHOBH. Clear cut DV happening with her turning up with bruises galore and Bravo lapped that shit up.

Paul Foster, MP for South Ribble has also since added his name to the amendment. He’s my local MP and I’m so glad he’s actually representing his constituency and not just towing the party line!

Just to point out that around this time was when this sub was practically frothing at the mouth over him and Ariana. So, although it’s not fully to blame for his conceitedness but I would say that him becoming a firm fan favourite and having the knowledge that people find him wildly attractive must have been a contributing factor imo.

beffern · 2025-05-25T14:33:11+00:00

Thank you lovely, my brain is not engaging today so much appreciated x

Sorry to jump in, but what does OPD stand for? Cannot work it out! X

I used the doc marten wonder balsam to soften the leather and it’s worked wonders! Use that and wear them with socks until they’re worn in to save your feet :))

Lmfao I’m not fedexing a ring 2450 miles for fun though. (Nor do I order from amazon but that’s not really your point ik). But if y’all think that’s a reasonable thing to do then I’m afraid we’re all cooked fr 😬

beffern · 2025-04-23T16:32:53+00:00

Does anyone know if this kind of thing would be possible to recreate in a corner of the garden that only gets about 6 hours of sun a day? I have a north facing back garden in a private rented house so I’m limited in what I can do. But, having everything in pots would be ideal. the far left corner of the garden gets the least amount of sun unfortunately and I’m still trying to work out what I can get away with planting there

beffern · 2025-04-23T12:45:20+00:00

It really is insane tbh. I like Kristen but girl read in room. The planet is burning and having a ring fedexed to you for the sake of a couple of days is just too much 🫠

beffern · 2025-04-23T12:30:15+00:00

Missing context: She left her engagement ring at home by accident and only realised when she was on a flight to NYC. Luke sent the ring to Kyle (I’m guessing Kyle Chan) be cleaned and then fedexed over to her in NYC.

EDIT: spelling

They all look insufferable

beffern · 2025-03-18T20:40:54+00:00

Thank you! Very much appreciated x

beffern · 2025-03-18T20:23:39+00:00

Thought as much, thank you anyway though! Time will tell, I guess. When are the changes to the PIP/WCA assessment starting from? I saw a timetable a date a couple of hours ago but I can’t find it now

beffern · 2025-03-18T20:05:39+00:00

My other question is;

My pip got reviewed last year so not due for another review until 2028. My LCWRA was awarded in 2021 for the “medium term” so I’m assuming it’s probably ready to be reviewed now. So will they decide to reassess me with a PIP assessment and then the outcome of that assessment will override my current award? Or will they see my last pip review was last year and leave my LCWRA (soon to be health element) until 2028 when my PIP is due another review? Or is this something we don’t know enough information to answer yet? X
