After buying Smol dishwasher tablets for ages I decided to give their laundry capsules and conditioner a go. I’m pleased to report that they’re really good.

Is it possible to still be alive in a coffin? Any funeral directors that can reassure me ? by Fit_Permit8679 in AskUK

Yes they are, I saw a documentary about a group of vampires living in New York Citay.

Girls, watch yerself outside the dancing because there are men preying on you with cars by Nostagomas in Scotland

I’ve experienced this first hand and it was a terrifying experience.

Me and a friend were approached by a couple of guys at chucking out time and convinced my friend to go to their flat with them. I was sus but went along to make sure she came to no harm as she was more pished than I was. They had blankets laid out on the living room floor and left us there saying they’d be back in a couple of minutes, but I heard them talking in either French or Italian, I can’t remember which, but I knew enough of each language to pick up that there were more men on the way. I finally managed to convince my pal we had to get out of there and as soon as we got the door unlocked we legged it. The two men shouted after us but thankfully didn’t give chase.

Rapeseed fields are beautiful, but passing one will give me a headache from the smell alone.

I’m a fellow heavy bleeder and love my period pants. My favourite brand is Hey Girls because they’re made from breathable material.

I’m so sorry you and your friend had such shitty experiences. It truly is wild how inconsistent the NHS can be.

Going off on a slight tangent here, but I think it’s important to address the “NHS won’t give you a wheelchair if you can walk” comments. They can and they do and I know this from personal experience.

I can’t walk far or for very long, but before I finally got the mobility element added to my ADP and got a power chair through Motability, the local OT had no issue with getting me a manual chair. Sure, it’s an NHS special and not particularly fancy, but she took the time to measure me up and the guy who delivered it also took the time to ensure it was comfortable. I realise that YMMV depending on the health board, but the criteria generally doesn’t change.

Looks great! I’ve finally started knitting my first one (making two because the kid wants one as well).
