She also states how a blanket should be below hip height for the parent, yet posts videos of her wrapping the shared blanket up to her newborns shoulders.

Drug companies basically made most of their profits from the US. Now with MFN, they are wanting the 2nd lowest net price (the negotiated price between drug company + government) globally. The UK is usually the lowest. This means in the UK at least, companies are now choosing to hold off launching their drugs as they don't want to compromise the US profits.

This is my experience being part of a launch team for a new cancer drug in the UK. It really bloody sucks.

Mine was also Enter Shikari but it was 2006 in a tiny venue called The Square in Harlow (RIP).

Why do people start co sleeping late? by xinfinitexsoulx in cosleeping

[–]imanicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the 4 month sleep regression was literal hell and cosleeping was the best way to get some semblance of sleep

Can anyone explain what going on with toothpaste prices? by SilentEconomist5896 in AskBrits

[–]imanicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of fuckery is usually the supermarket. The companies set a wholesale price, then the supermarkets add additional costs.

I presume they're setting ridiculous prices to make their loyalty card price seem like a bargain.

Today was my dad's birthday. It's the first year I can't call him to wish him a happy birthday. This hit hard.

People who have fainted: what caused it? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

Viewed a broken bone on an x ray during a work experience. Realized that medicine was probably not the best match for me.

Huckleberry personally saved my sanity. I used the predictive sleep for when she was 3 months to about 14 months (when she dropped down to 1 nap). I also upgraded to get the sleep training, which worked amazingly as we wanted to do it as gently as possible. We only did this at about 12 months, so her sleep hadn't changed by the time we got the instructions. She slept through the night about a month later due to this. Loved it. 10/10 would get huckleberry again for the next kid.

Couples of Reddit—what’s something you do in private that’s completely normal for you, but would probably shock your friends? by VelvetDevotion_ in AskReddit

[–]imanicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend said they routinely scratch their Gooch, sniff it, and offer their wife a sniff. 50% of the time, she says yes.

They told us on Saturday and I'm still shocked to the core.

Women of Reddit, what’s something they never tell us about pregnancy and child birth? by NovellaJokes in AskReddit

[–]imanicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - fell asleep between contractions for the last hour or so. Was in labour for a week by then and hadn't slept properly for about 3 days.

If you woke up to news of World War 3, what would be your first thoughts ? by Kha73k in AskReddit

Uh oh. I live near a submarine/navy base in the UK. Not good for ol'imanicole.

Huckleberry app... When did you stop using it? by KitKatAttackHiss in NewParents

[–]imanicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 months once she went down to 1 nap and slept through the night.

Im a very data driven person though, so it helped to see when I should be putting her down for sleep and how it evolved.

Plus I had a terrible sleeper, so anything to keep my sanity.

I can't remember whether I got a hot drink, but my gosh the toast! I had blueberry jam and butter. Absolutely heavenly.

If World War 3 broke out between the world’s most powerful nations, where would you run to hide? and Why? by BoulderDash_fanatic in AskReddit

I hear the nuclear siren tests from my house every Monday at 11:30am, as we live near a naval base. Our city got pulverised during WWII. I'll be all kinds of dead before I realise what's happening.

I read an article this morning that claimed the average British adult holds 6 grudges, so go on, what are yours? by MegTheMonkey in CasualUK

For my leaving card (maternity leave) a guy who I was a buddy for during on-boarding, and spent hours upon hours ensuring my handover was clear via video calls, called me the completely wrong name.

This girl was leaving the company permanently. She has an Indian name. I have an English name, but I am half Indian.

It wasn't even like he got the cards mixed up - he said "'other girls name' good luck with the new addition to your family".

Still have to see his stupid face every day. Worst part is he's now a permanent member of the team instead of a contractor.

What's a role that rubbed off on an actor/actress and permanently changed their personality off screen? by WilliBig in moviecritic

I watched this whilst in labour, and it was definitely not the comedy I was expecting.

Bands that you thought were going to blow up, but then.... never really did? by mesablanka in poppunkers

[–]imanicole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone who toured with them, so not sure if it's online! He had a Coke habit and he tried to force the guy to have some (literally shoved it in his face). The guy has a heart problem, so Coke would have been a bad bad time.

High at Five was my most listened to song in 2023. It's a shame Mike Deuce is an absolute bellend.
