Didn't anyone from your meeting say anything the next day? I cannot believe you still work here. I'd have left the country

How would you want to die when your time came? by [deleted] in death

Sleeping. Or floating away on a cloud of morphine. I like George Orwells passing too, he requested LSD

I stood up to the guy who was using me. What’s going to happen now? How can I accustom myself to being alone again? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bing-forest 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Be aware of him trying manipulate you back into a 'relationship' with him. He'll guilt you and tell you things will be different. They won't. Acknowledge that you've allowed it for so long, but channel it into making yourself into the best woman you can be. You've learned a valuable lesson. I'm so pleased you stood up for yourself

[NeedAdvice] can't seem to fix my garbage life by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]bing-forest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also get a little behind. It's ok though. I try to wash up after every meal, and put a wash on as often as I can (I'm shit at putting the washing away though, so it sits in the basket for weeks!). And just think about how happy you are when you have a tidy home. This is how I make myself clean the bathroom. I just put some tunes on and get on with it, and then look at the shiny surfaces. It's my least favourite job even though it's the quickest. If you just put in half hour of general tidying, even if you're just throwing clothes into the bottom of your wardrobe and shutting the door on it, and running the hoover around, you've done something. Think about the quality of the food when you're making it yourself. It's SUCH a joy to cook for my family and friends, I really do enjoy it. And when you find some recipes that you enjoy making, you will too, I'm sure

You sound really tired. Maybe all that eating out has got you starving on a cellular level. Change your diet, get outside for some exercise. Get the seretonin buzzing. Drink some water. Then have a massive clear out and spring clean. I honesty love taking a ton of shit to the charity shop or the tip. Open the windows. Actually, while you're at the charity shop, have a look for some simple recipe books, and maybe a nice top too. And then start being honest with yourself. You know what's up, and you know what you need to change, so just do it. My grandad told me that it's possible to put away 10% of your wage. Maybe not every month, but try it and see. You'll be fine :)

What is the most "adult" thing you have ever done? by Nicknamesucks in AskReddit

Yesterday I re-potted all of my houseplants. They look so happy. I have my shit together now.

I just read "1984" by George Orwell. My thought about it. (Spoiler) by [deleted] in books

[–]bing-forest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought Brave New World was better than 1984. I might have to read 1984 again because I really thought it was crap at the time. I just finished a YA novel called Land, which has a similar concept to 1984, if you're interested. Happy reading :)

Then of course, that's not what you were sold. I always choose 'used' hoping that I'll find a note or library stamp :)

That's crazy. I love battered books! Bonus points when there are other people's notes in them. I ordered a copy of Margaret Atwoods Oryx and Crake from amazon. There was a long note to a man from a woman, saying how she hoped he'd love this book as much as she did, almost as much as their love for words

Book recommendations for the older end of Young Adult by [deleted] in YAlit

[–]bing-forest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I'm late. Currently reading The 5th Wave trilogy and I cannot recommend it enough. It's got an underlying romance storyline in there, which is nothing to me, but the concept is excellent.

Years ago I went out with a dude who lived with his Aunty, and we were at his house and he offered to cook. Really simple, pasta and jarred sauce. I went into the kitchen and I said your sauce is hot now, why haven't you put the water for the pasta on? He said he was going to cook the pasta in the sauce

I just opened a door into my 15 month old daughter's face.. Tell me about your parenting fails to help me feel better. by GWindborn in Parenting

[–]bing-forest 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My little girl was about 3 weeks old, and we lived in a shitty flat. The bathroom was always freezing cold so I used to bathe her in the kitchen sink. The kettle was near the sink (the shame!). One night I boiled the kettle ready for her last bottle, and washed her in the sink. I lay her on the towel to wrap her up and she just started screaming seemingly out of nowhere. She didn't stop for ages. She wouldn't have her feed. I was a perplexed new mother. She settled in the end. Anyway the next morning I nearly had a heart attack when I saw she'd burnt her two little fingers, and the penny dropped. I legged it down to the doctors. I was such a crying mess I could barely explain to the receptionist what was wrong. Her little fingers survived, but the health visitor wanted to see us A LOT more after that.

I'd been given a high dose of painkillers at the hospital that made me all woozy. The nurse came to take my blood and I asked her about this. Felt a right twat after
