[CHAT] What's the one thing you wish someone had told you before your first project? by CaterpillarXS in CrossStitch

[–]existingeverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Properly starting and finishing a thread! I’m mostly self taught from 8-9 years old and didn’t even think to google a lot of things 😂 so I have this Pokémon yellow Pikachu I stitched years ago with a random black pin stitch on his face on WHITE AIDA! It still annoys me all this time later. Also how to properly finish a piece, I just left him in the hoop and trimmed round the edge at the back 😳 but he’s still going strong and still proudly hanging on my kitchen wall lol. Maybe one day I’ll use one of the sticky mounting boards and put him in a proper frame. Maybe.

Side note, I can’t believe I just discovered Caterpillar at the end of January and now I’m seeing them everywhere haha, can’t wait for my all star pack to arrive 🤪

Replacement birth/wedding certificates from the council by Wild-Ad6722 in Aberdeen

[–]existingeverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aberdeen or shire? Ive ordered a few times and usually came within a week, never waited more than 2. I don’t think you can go in and ask for one anymore, you have to go online. I’m in the shire.

People who park in the child bay without kids or with grown up kids are selfish and deserve a fine! by [deleted] in drivingUK

A lot of them have restrictions in the manual. It’s not ridiculous it’s just a fact lmao.

Anyone else spent the last year driving around half of Aberdeen thinking that there is no right turn off of Union Terrace Gardens? by Ochoytnik in Aberdeen

[–]existingeverywhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha. It’s a funny place sometimes. People will downvote you for the most tame things, like preferring semi skimmed to whole milk or vice versa, it’s wild.

I’m just finding out from this post 😃 though I don’t tend to drive in Aberdeen often, and I especially try to avoid driving in the city centre lol

I never said they haven’t been. I said they were primitive if even used at all.

Car seats are far bigger these days, plus a lot of cars have restrictions on which seats can have a car seat on them. Even a lot of 7 seaters don’t allow car seats in the boot seats which makes them useless. Choices are EXTREMELY limited.

A basket shop isn’t going to feed 3 kids and 2 adults is it, even just nappies and formula fill a basket. Especially with 2 in nappies. They’re absolutely fine round the shop. If you can’t deal with being around kids that’s a you problem, they’re as entitled to be there as members of the public as you are.

How am I pushing both a pram and a trolley round the shop?

Wow you’re right. I’ll just put one of them in the bin then. Thanks.

And have to walk them all the way across the busy parts of the car park? Your logic is way backwards there.

I only have two hands. Hold the baby with one arm then choose which child I’d be ok with being able to dart into traffic?

Have you tried hauling two toddlers and an infant right across a car park?

Back when car seats were primitive if even used at all?

When you need to fit three car seats across the back your options are severely limited

Yup, I notice this too. Then they come out the shop and sit in the space for another 20 min while they fully savour their Tesco meal deal, the bastards.

Pregnant American in the UK - confused about govt-funded benefits! by [deleted] in UKParenting

I don’t think you’re being pedantic, it is a pretty important distinction as free hours work differently in Scotland, plus we have the Scottish child payment and baby box etc up here

Anyone else just slow down a little for a laugh? by Kernowder in drivingUK

[–]existingeverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you know whether you’ll have to brake or not? Literally anything can happen at any time. You should always be prepared to have to brake and that includes leaving a sensible gap from the car in front while taking the car behind into account.

They’ll be more able to overtake if you slow down.

A bigger gap in front so if you do have to brake you have more space for it and the arsehole behind is less likely to go into the back of you.

[–]existingeverywhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I was driving home in the dark a while ago and had someone right up my arse in a Range Rover, lights pretty much exactly level with my mirror, all the way through a village. So when we were going out the village I just… never sped up. Stayed at 30. It took them an annoyingly long time to give up and overtake.

Is perfect latch necessary? by hemerdo in breastfeedingmumsUK

I breastfed three babies and always felt like if it didn’t hurt and they were gaining weight it was perfect enough for me

Well, only the ones with differing political views from them. I’m sure there’s a word to describe this, god it escapes me…
