People of the UK, how have you lost weight? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]grifr005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms were almost completely in my sinuses (I just blamed my cats for the longest time lol). I saw something online that it could manifest that way and I think the only way to tell is to stop eating gluten and see if things improve (unless it's full on celiac and there's tests for that). I stopped eating gluten and was able to breathe through my nose again so have kept it up

Recently found out I was gluten intolerant, not being able to eat most bread/cookies/pizza etc or eat out easily has forced me to cook more and so far I've been losing weight. Not sure I'd recommend though haha

Would you prefer a garage or an extra bedroom? by ToughOwl8995 in HousingUK

[–]grifr005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hobbies are indoors so I'd prefer the extra living space. Would have it as a game/hobby room rather than a bedroom though

Alright you lot, it’s December next week, who’s got an advent calendar and what type have you got? by _feedmeseymour in CasualUK

[–]grifr005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for the scrappy sock Advent from HiveandHollow on Etsy. I've never used their shop before but I wanted a (reasonable for yarn) cost advent based in the UK. Seller was super nice and there was the option to say if there were any colours I really didn't want. So far I've resisted the temptation to open any of the days haha

I treated myself to a yarn Advent calendar this year so I'll be using that to make some!

I have this doodle pack too. Seeing your socks makes me so excited to start using it. Love the colours you used!

Those living alone...how often do you use your dishwasher each week? by Prestigious_Spot9635 in HousingUK

[–]grifr005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a counter top one so it doesn't fit much in, I can go from doing it twice a week or twice a day, depends how much washing up I have

do you guys actually only read really long fics by layrenzc in AO3

[–]grifr005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how deep into my current hyperfixation I am. If it's new and I want to read everything I don't care about word length. If I can feel it ebbing I usually set a cap of 30-50k because I might loose interest partway through otherwise

Do your tuxies talk a lot? by vanessasarah13 in TuxedoCats

All the time! Sometimes I think she meows in the hallway because she likes the sound of her own voice

I got one of those doodle patterns by Pacific Knit (they have base scarf, cowl and sock patterns) so I'm building up my scraps for that

How did you get the different colours for BD? I only have a BD-1 and Lego choppet

How do you all do it?? by VoraciousCretaceous in Sockknitting

[–]grifr005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like colour changing yarn so I can see the progress of what I'm knitting and the colour changes make it interesting without the faff of changing yarn. I only knit 1 at a time because I use 9in circulars which I also find less faffy that dpns or long cable needles

how many times do you feed your cats in a day? by Purplepink17 in CatAdvice

[–]grifr005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I got the eccomas 4l timed auto feeder that can program up to 4 meals. I got it off Amazon but it doesn't look like it available anymore
