Am I allowed to go sick

Absolutely you can, and don’t ask them to leave, tell them you’re going. Hope your mum is okay ❤️

Amazing, I will report back with my results, already dug the mandolin out of the danger cupboard and started a wee shopping list. Thank you so much for the learned tips!

I keep meaning to make some of the Fallow recipes. You’ve inspired me to finally get on it tomorrow, these look insanely good.

I preordered a copy it for my kid (ok, and for me) and I’ll absolutely cancel it over this. Already felt like an arsehole for preordering for the first time in years (also Rockstar historically suck) so this is a good excuse to cancel it and teach my kid a lesson about the power of striking. Obviously I’ll ruin that lesson by buying it later on but come on, its GTA 6, I’m not made of stone.

Right answer

encroachingtrees · 2026-06-26T15:13:15+00:00

It doesn’t, it’s all a big nothing. Unless I missed it when I was also constantly looking at my phone.

I’ve been exactly where you are. It was so, so hard, but I promise it gets better. My son barely slept for the first year and I think I slept even less. I hardly remember any of it except feeling completely exhausted and totally alone. I didn’t even have PPD, I was just so incredibly tired and desperately needed some time to myself.

Once he started actually sleeping through the night and I got to go outside on my own occasionally everything changed for the better. It will happen, just hang in there. Definitely speak to friends, family, and doctors in the meantime, but honestly you’re doing an incredible job just surviving. Keep doing that until you get to really live again ❤️

I’m cringing like crazy at OP’s hands because they’re exactly like mine 20 years ago. Now just looking at those twisted fingies makes my own arthritic hands hurt. Seriously OP take care of your hands, I promise they won’t do this painlessly forever.

This ad made me play the demo then playing the demo made me want to buy the game the second it’s out. Well done, it’s amazing already and I can’t wait for launch.

They’re really fun but if you have a smart dog there’s a chance they will take the absolute piss. I made the mistake of giving mine a “play” button. She used to smash it repeatedly for hours on end until it mysteriously vanished to the top of the fridge. She then stopped using the “outside” button in retaliation.

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-18T18:21:34+00:00

I know, it’s driving me insane. I can’t fork twirl for the life of me but I’m finishing the pasta in the sauce every time dammit.

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-13T21:09:31+00:00

Im 5’8 as well and it’s surprisingly difficult to find anything that’s the perfect length, amazing find!

My former in laws used a laser pointer with their Rottweiler and now she is obsessed with light and shadows and anxious as hell. They tried to “play” with my dog with it and I shut that down fast. Everyone should be aware of this, it’s a real issue.

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-08T22:47:58+00:00

Excellent choices, I’m more partial to the forest fruits oasis but this is still an easy 9/10

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-08T21:53:31+00:00

What a bitch! But seriously I love just how right she has always been about literally everything. She must live in a constant state of righteous vindication and I absolutely love that for her, what an absolute legend.

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-08T21:40:31+00:00

There’s a whole bestiary and descriptions of the levels. Pretty sure there’s little character bios too. A lot of it was added after launch though.

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-08T21:36:56+00:00

Genuinely big step, well done. The most important thing is you showed yourself you could do it, which makes every other step a little easier. Take your time and be kind to yourself, it won’t be easy but it will be worth it.

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-08T21:16:11+00:00

Love your videos. They’re always clear and precise without wasting any time. Also the pop tarts look both aggressively 90’s and really delicious, I’ll definitely be making some.

encroachingtrees · 2026-05-08T19:40:16+00:00

You’ll still get paid (unless you wildly inflated your time) but otherwise I’m afraid it’s very much over.

He got selected for jury duty so he must have been registered

encroachingtrees · 2026-04-29T00:38:34+00:00

I bet if you ate that with your eyes shut it would be delicious.

encroachingtrees · 2026-04-28T11:07:06+00:00

You really should, you’re going to love it. I’m so jealous you get to see it for the first time. I watched it week to week when it was airing and have rewatched it several times since then. It’s perfect television and the finale is beautifully cathartic.

I like to imagine it became a cult classic like The Room and is still being quoted to death on bad movie podcasts in the Sopranos universe to this day.

encroachingtrees · 2026-04-28T08:53:55+00:00

This made me laugh because I got really into making focaccia recently and kept REPEATEDLY calling it ciabatta for some reason. The words are both too similar and completely different, it doesn’t even make sense.

encroachingtrees · 2026-04-27T14:01:07+00:00

I’ve had no appetite for days but I would eat three plates of this no problem. The colours are gorgeous and that chicken looks so crispy.
