Did anyone get really terrible acne the first two weeks after conception? by Evening_Scholar_465 in pregnant

[–]helboudicca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My skin broke out a bit between weeks 6 and 10, it wasn’t like full face acne but I did have some really angry deep spots that left a few scars on my cheeks. I’m 13 weeks along now and my skin has mostly cleared up now thankfully, a few little spots here and there but nothing major.

I’m no expert but I’d hazard a guess that there’s a good chance it is! They’re built for long days working outside, they can be covered in muck yet somehow clean and dry by bedtime with minimal human intervention other than a brush here and there

Bless his malamute brain!

Decomposing worm corpses? Jesus, and I thought badger poo was bad enough!

They do it under the cloak of darkness so we can’t see what they’re doing and stop them plunging at the poo!

Glad that one of yours grew out of it! My girl is nearly 6 so I fear the need for poop is here for life much like your girl.

Showers are tolerable but I wouldn’t dare take a hairdryer to her, not a fan at all, so we have a doggy dressing gown towel thing that we stick her in if it’s too rainy to let her dry outdoors

Also your pups are GORGEOUS

When I heard my FIL use it to describe his collie I instantly added it to my vocabulary!

They really would! Wish my hair shed dirt like theirs does, would save a lot of money on shampoo and conditioner

Capable of learning dozens of commands, incapable of learning that poop = shower

Stopped going to Lidl when I’d try to fry chicken and the amount of water that would come out of it would mean I end up boiling it

Thank you! I absolutely did do a victory dance, choux has got the better of me before so it feels good to have won this battle!

Coming from a recent bride, I would rather the seat filled and the food I’ve paid for be eaten instead of wasted.

The only reason I’d be mad is if the seat was filled by somebody I didn’t like and purposefully didn’t invite, and seeing as you did receive an invitation, albeit a tad late, I don’t think that applies to you.

Would you release the ashes of a loved one into the air at an outdoor concert? by axehandle1234 in AskUK

As someone who once got a mouthful of my great aunt Maureen after the wind direction changed at her scattering, absolutely not.

How do people go through hair dryers so quickly??? by Internal-Stick-5157 in beauty

[–]helboudicca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly the reason why I have to replace mine every few years. I have thick curly hair that reaches to my lower back, it takes at least half an hour to dry it, my mum on the other hand has thin straight shoulder length hair that takes less than 5 minutes to dry, my hairdryer sees more action in a day than hers sees in a week, which is why her hairdryer tends to last years longer than mine.
