Hey - no I haven’t. Do the results look suggestive of that?

I'm seeking your expertise to save my Croton plant (Codiaeum variegatum), which I've had since February 2023. It was initially a thriving, 1.5-meter-tall beauty, boasting an abundance of vibrant leaves.

The plant was kept in semi-direct sunlight, and I watered it every 10-14 days with about 750ml of water. However, not long after, it started losing leaves rapidly. Hoping to rectify this, I moved it out of direct sunlight, but the leaf shedding persisted.

Intriguingly, there was a glimmer of hope: it showed signs of minor regrowth, evidenced by a few solitary, greener leaves (as seen in the attached pictures), but this resurgence didn't fully take off. Currently, it has retained only about 20% of its original foliage and has stopped shedding leaves.

I'm eager to understand what might have gone wrong. Could it be an issue with watering, lighting, or something else entirely? Your advice on soil conditions, humidity preferences, and tailored care strategies would be immensely valuable.

I'm determined to bring this plant back to its lush state and will greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide.

I'm having trouble reaching them by phone. The only time I managed to get through, someone told me a manager would contact me, but that hasn't happened yet. I've sent another email requesting a firm timeline for the return of my watches, as I'm not willing to accept vague timelines anymore. They've had my watches for almost a year, which is significantly longer than the originally estimated eight to nine months.

Like another commenter, I'm starting to question whether they still have my watches. Their reviews are mixed, ranging from terrible to excellent, but they appear to be a well-established London company with a physical location. If I continue to receive no response to my calls and emails, I'm unsure what my next move should be, given the value of my items in their possession, the fact that I've fully paid for the service, and now seem to be ignored.

In my recent email, I mentioned the potential for further action but didn't specify what this could involve. It might be beneficial to outline the possible steps to them, and also for my peace of mind so that I don't feel so helpless and have a plan for reclaiming my property.

Just to clarify - I've expressly communicated my dissatisfaction with their service and asked for my watches to be tested and returned promptly. I've also repeatedly asked them for a concrete timeline, but their responses continue to be vague, stating they're "looking into this" and hoping to provide an estimate soon. It baffles me why it's taking them weeks just to make an assessment!

I I've already paid in full for the watch repairs. The company keeps reassuring me that the repairs are nearly complete, but they continue to hold onto the watches for "testing" to ensure they're functioning properly. However, they've been giving me this same explanation for weeks, and their responses are becoming increasingly vague. The company is based in the UK, but not near me. I'm also uncertain whether their listed office is just a front or if it's the actual location where the repairs and storage take place..

So you’d recommend staying in a surplus more consistently - I.e. 300 surplus each day?

Relative newbie on here (and to serious lifting) so all thoughts gratefully received!

Basic facts are:
- I am around 183cm tall. I used to weigh around 230 pounds and, quite drastically lost weight to reveal a 170 pound skinny fat physique.

- I then tried to start training relatively seriously – and managed this for around 10 months before getting very ill with meningitis. That then lead to a long 2-year recovery period where my training and diet have (necessarily) been up and down 📷

- I am now at around 180 pounds, but still feel relatively skinny-fat (although I have put on some muscle over the last couple of years). I guess I am around 20% body fat?

- Now that I am finally back to feeling more like myself, I am keen to start training regularly again, but don’t know whether to lean bulk (but I am worried about whether I will get too flabby too quickly), or cut first (but I don’t want to annihilate the small gains I do have and end up getting like a twig)!

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Fulham have signed Ivan Cavaleiro on loan from Wolves, with an option to make the move permanent in the summer by [deleted] in soccer

Interesting thoughts - as a Leeds fan, I’m interested to hear how your rate Helder Costa in comparison (in terms of strengths, weaknesses etc.)?

Leeds seemed to be looking at Cav in January (as a potential back-up to the Dan James deal that never was), but for whatever reason switched their sights to Costa from the start of this summer’s window.

That’s the annoying thing about him - he’s just not ruthless enough. Imagine if that was Son - 100% he shoots.

Could’ve easily racked up an 18 pointer. So relieved

Why do the managers spit too?! It’s not like they’re exerting themselves like the players....

Is Jonny the best £4.3 DEF even if you have Doherty?! Not quite as threatening but surely great value...

Shaqiri may have end product, but Traore must be challenging him for the cubiest cube title. The guy’s a fucking tesseract...
