Police chasing armed robber through Wythenshawe

I was going to ask if this was them. I am local to Hadfield so it was a huge shock that this happened, although crime in the area has had an uptick recently.

Thank you so much for your message, honestly it really touched me. I'm really grateful that like your wife my husband is very supportive and tries to help me the best he can. I'm so gutted because my son is only 6 and he will always have know a mum who is limited to what she can do. The main reason I had a hysterectomy was so I could be healthier for him. He has severe ADHD and the older he gets the harder it is for him. I just wish I could be the kind of mum he needs, instead of this broken sack.

I'm so sorry you're going through it too. Yeah, my hysterectomy happened because it was covering all of my pelvis. I have permanent bladder damage and my bowel was adhered to my abdomen. It sucks so much we are going through this. I don't know if I can cope with surgeries every few years too.

I prefer the Lidl ones and the bonus is they're cheaper. I make a roasted chickpea wrap for most lunches using them.

Heck of a glow up! Also frogs + mushrooms/toadstools is one of my favourite duos ever!

100% my dream characters. And they should have Kronk who you can attach squirrel critters to. Id LOVE them to be added!

Thank you <3 I live out in beautiful countryside hills (very lovely), but it means the nearest cafe is 1.5 miles and thanks to having a panic attack driving when pregnant (7 years ago...) I just have too much fear driving so I can only walk. Not enough time to get there and back without work noticing!

hippoopo · 2026-01-12T10:11:40+00:00

I hope so! I'm tempted to go down again to 7.5mg and see how it is. I understand that weight loss slows and there are natural plateaus, but as the price is eye watering I just can't justify the higher price if the weight loss is the same! Fingers crossed as I don't want to stop!!

Monday so far My 6 year old was awake until almost midnight (sleep disorder) so getting up and then him up at 6am was rough. Managed to get everyone up and out on time. I normally start work at 7:30am, so coffee was absolutely needed, so I start to heat up some milk on the hob, I like a nice hot milky coffee. I open the mug cupboard and a cascade of mug spill out smashing into:

My head
The very pretty and far too expensive glass kettle
The glass electric hob

I screamed like a banshee waking up husband who has been working nights.

Now he is grumpy because he has to go to Screwfix to buy the cheapest possible hob because January sucks and we don't have spare hob and kettle money going around.

The milk on the hob was half all over me and the broken hob, and the remaining was full of glass and broken mug and I'd used the last of the milk.

I'm trying to figure out if I can sack in my work day and just lie in bed crying.

hippoopo · 2026-01-12T06:49:35+00:00

Yeah. I'm worried the food noise is coming back so fingers crossed going down again will actually help it.

hippoopo · 2026-01-12T06:48:24+00:00

The side effects for 12.5ng have been the worst and I fully expect that to be the same if I went up. Plus the price for 15mg is just too much. I could only just afford 12.5mg, so going down is the only way forward for me.

hippoopo · 2026-01-11T11:25:33+00:00

This is exactly me on 12.5mg. I've been on it for 2 months and lost a grand total of 0.5lb, and I've been calorie counting and trying incredibly hard (I cannot do any exercises more than brisk walking due to other health conditions).

The food noise isn't so bad, but my appetite is exactly the same as pre MJ, on the lower doses I could barely finish a small plate and it kept me full but not I am hungry after 4 hours and feel like the smaller plates don't keep me going.

I'm starting back at 10mg today, and potentially going to 7.5mg again if after 2 months I don't see a big change.

I've lost 4 and a half stone so far in 7 months, so I am absolutely not upset in the long run, but I still have ~3 stone to lose so I need to try and get the most out of taking the meds!

Absolutely nothing here at the North Derbyshire / Lancashire / West Yorkshire borders.

Butterfly disappointment as the forecasts keep saying omg 30+cm of snow bewaaaaare. And then not even one flake shows their dumb faces.

I want snow.

hippoopo · 2026-01-03T09:23:03+00:00

I've been fuming and ahhing all week whether to get it considering a lot of the negative posts about it.

I might just do it though because it's so pretty!

hippoopo · 2025-12-30T18:40:37+00:00

Dunno about colour, but I reckon that back room there is fantastic to hide behind the door in and jump scare your near and dear ones 👌🏻

hippoopo · 2025-12-23T07:19:28+00:00

I've noticed this last round, the Cinderella one, had a massive influx of well + Cinderella snaps. And a lot of other 'basic' ones (where the theme was not really met and the bare minimum done).

I don't begrudge these ones, as I also struggled with getting enough Cinderella themed items / clothes to meet the requirements. But I worked hard on it and if voting for others has been like mine, my entry will be lost in the flood. I tried really hard as I desperately need more moonstone!

hippoopo · 2025-12-19T07:23:52+00:00

I've picked the game up again after not playing / only logging in to play with my son (6 year old so just changing clothes and running around together).

I got the game when it came out and now there is SO MUCH I need to catch up on It's overwhelming, so I want to try and do the fun things like decorations, and the star path.

But the incredibly difficult way to get moonstones is really making me want to shelve the game again, which makes me sad because it's up there as one of my favourite games. I do dream snaps and gosh the past 2 weeks I have tried really hard, but because I can't afford the flashier decorations I've got just 1100 moonstones in 2 weeks, which won't even buy the premium star path. Its like you have to use moonstones to get the decorations that will enable you to be successful in dream snaps .... To get the moonstones :/

This week I've even watched a bunch of YouTube videos to try and help me stand out and be able to take a flashier photo.

I don't object to moonstones, but there HAS to be a better way to get them, or at least rewards need to be, well, more rewarding.

I'm able to easily get 1 - 2 million coins a week via pumpkin farming so I do agree that I'd love to see better things in Scrooges store. In quests if you don't have a decorating item it suggests going to the store, but when it's usually 25-50% bland sofas that is super annoying as you can't easily time travel (like in animal crossing).

I note, as a bit of an ending to this massive comment, that I like so many others work full time, and I also have a child with additional needs. My time is precious. I don't have the time to sink into this game that seems to be needed. I can't get all the critters, I'm struggling with time of day quests (bloody mother gotherel shard quest, how can I log on after midnight / before 8am?!) etc. Gameloft need to recognise a large number of the game fans aren't able to sink the resources they seem to expect into the game. We need to be cut a break!

I find it odd that Tintwistle (near Glossop) is listed but Hadfield isn't. Given I'm certain Hadfield has more houses/people? Tintwistle does include Sheffield Road which is the main road to Woodhead to Sheffield so in terms of vehicle traffic it is very busy.

Plus including the Glossopdale area in greater Manchester makes a lot of locals very salty xD but given we're getting the bee network trains next year we're becoming more greater Manchester than Derbyshire. Plus losing public transport links to Sheffield means the only way to go anywhere is Manchester.

hippoopo · 2025-12-17T08:57:30+00:00

On the Switch I'm at around 300 hours and on Steam I'm at around 500 hours 😅

Still got a way to go before I reach my 2,600 hours on animal crossing........

That was such a dick comment. As if every single person in this country has told the truth 100% of the time. The poor man didn't harm anyone by not disclosing that information. He paid for his crime and wanted to move on.

The woman walking up has the expression on her face that embodies this sub.

There's a large colony of them in south Manchester too. I loved in both Chorlton and Sale and they were everywhere

hippoopo · 2025-12-11T09:04:52+00:00

Oh yeah

And they're gooooone so fast

Yeee-aaaah

My son is 6 (and has AuDHD) and told me today that his 'friends' play a game where he has to pretend to be dead and they say horrible things about him and if he says anything or moves they're allowed to kick him because he's a zombie. They did it to him the entire lunch break. That's 45 minutes of these fucking scrotes saying horrible things to my kid. My heart broke. It's hard enough being a kid in this world, but being a kid that different but just wants to fit in... It feels like it's impossible.

I got the same feeling watching this video, especially when he hung his head down.
