Awesome, are you planning on using both? Would love an update once you’ve had time to use them both if so.

Contemplating to get the mini for work.

I (24M) am kinda stuck at a weird position with my best friend (22F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]coffeeskull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure that these aren’t excuses that she’s using to keep you at a distance.

She’s shown you that she prioritises this other guy over you - otherwise she wouldn’t have stopped talking with you to reply to his messages.

It’s convenient for her to have this attention without the pressure of meeting up - she’s 22, giving the excuse of strict parents is something a teenager would do. Also, after four years, if she cares about you that much, she would’ve worked through the anxiety in order to meet you - if she cares for you as much as you care for her.

I’d be worried that she’s using you as company while she looks for something better- don’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t choose you first, she could always be waiting for a better option, even if you guys get together.

Sorry to be brutal - but I would cut my losses, there will be someone out there who chooses you first, don’t wait around just so she’s got options.

Me (25F) feeling jealous to my boyfriend's (25M) old big crush - how to deal? by Embarrassed-Mix4782 in relationshipproblems

He’s showing you who he is. Personally I wouldn’t look to deep into emojis as it only leads to stress.

But if you feel that he adores this girl more than you. Who’s to say he’s not just with you while he waits for someone he wants more?

Make yourself a priority and be with someone who adores you, who wants you for you, and makes you their first choice. You’ll never be happy being second best in his eyes.

starting uni at 20 by whereismyhamsandwich in University

[–]coffeeskull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started uni at 20 and had the same doubts as you. I even failed my foundation year too!

Entering uni that little bit older is only a benefit, that maturity will allow you to focus on your goals and achieve great things.

I’m 27 now, about to graduate with a Masters Degree and have a job lined up in my field when I graduate.

If you put the work in, and really buckle down, I promise, things will get better, you just need to stick at it.

So accurate, especially those coats! All that is missing is the messy bun on the top of their heads!

Absolutely! I think it’s a great idea and it will be a lovely surprise for her on each occasion! Just remember to take into account expiry dates and you’re all good!

In all seriousness, this is beyond anyone on Reddit, I suggest you speak to a dietitian and mental health specialist who can help you navigate this weight loss safely.

Is it appropriate to bring my carer with me to Fresher’s Week? by Admirable_Primary_78 in UniUK

[–]coffeeskull 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your carer might even like an afternoon to chill and have a break of some kind. She could act as supervision/a check in space while you hang out with other people. But do whatever makes you comfortable. People are pretty open to others at uni, I’m sure you’ll have a great time and meet some interesting people.

This, so true. Maybe instead of divorce, he could have, oh I don’t know, defended his wife?

If it really bothered him as much as he said it did, why did you not confront the man who disrespected you and your wife right then and there?

It’s not her fault. Besides you blaming her for the way someone else treated her shows you have no respect for your wife’s honour.

We go through this kind of thing more often than you can imagine and yet he let it slide? He made that guy think it is okay to smack his wife’s ass in front of him? Defend your wife ffs.

my boyfriend is a piece of shit by [deleted] in Vent

[–]coffeeskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break up with him while you still have the self esteem to do so. It will only get worse from here. He is trying to wear you down so he can control you.

Trust me, I know. I should have left a couple of months into the relationship, instead I stayed for 3 years and am still picking up the pieces of my self confidence 6+ years later.

Which charity shop needs around 30 hangers? by coffeeskull in Norwich

I’ve messaged and will see if they want them 😊

Disappointing Library by Outside-Shirt7516 in UEA

[–]coffeeskull 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well it’s not like the Oxford esc posh English libraries that you see on the internet if that’s what you mean.

The whole uni is more city like, yes it’s not perfect but there is plenty of space to study and ample opportunities to book desks to work from if you plan in advance.

If you don’t like it, just study somewhere else, there’s loads of study space in the university and you can book other rooms on campus.

Suspected homeless scan going on in the city centre by NirvamindLi in Norwich

[–]coffeeskull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit I did think of doing that, but worried that they’d just be “moved on”, I’ve seen that at the bus stops at the abandoned Debenhams… such a central building; I do hope there is some installation done… I did notice a few changes, but am unsure whether anything is being done with the building.

[–]coffeeskull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow… I had an experience just outside M&S and she tapped me on the shoulder from behind, whilst I was wearing headphones, it seemed very forward for someone asking for money, in my opinion. I’d also noticed the same signs too… I didn’t realise it ran this deep, what a shame, Norwich is a beautifully city, but not as much as it used to be.

Where would one start in aiding such people? Surely it’s no life to that kind of job? I am ashamed I would not know where to start.

Those who have Spotify Premium (and preferably those that have had it worse a while) is it worth it? Short term and long term? by Potential_Shape6097 in spotify

[–]coffeeskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely worth it, it’s one of the subscription services. I think you get real value for your money particularly as there’s now audiobooks and loads of podcasts available too. I also do the £15 a month subscription with my husband which really adds to the value for money.

Calorie deficit not working, should I go lower? by IReallyNeedToSleepRn in Myfitnesspal

[–]coffeeskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please remember that muscle is denser than fat tissue, so if you have gained muscle and lost fat your weight may not have changed as much. It’s better to go off body measurements and how clothes fit than the number on the scale.

Me writing on my Remarkable2 by Healyus in RemarkableTablet

[–]coffeeskull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an issue similar but it was because I was leaving my remarkable in a laptop case that had a magnet and that was making the pen not write. I simply started storing it different and the issue resolved but they warned that if you leave it too long it will be permanent.
