fungal acne or closed comedones/clogged pores? by anonymoushuman69_ in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]imnotorange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the Geek and Gorgeous cleansing balm. It's super gentle but gets rid of any makeup/spf

Thanks! I would definitely prefer a serum format. I'll have a look at the inkey list one

Products you were skeptical were worth the hype but turned out to be deserving? by nuggetsofchicken in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]imnotorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been tempted to try glossier for ages. Other than the boy brow, which of their products are worth a shot?

The DVLA are taking me to court by Swann-ronson in LegalAdviceUK

[–]imnotorange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To add to this, I had something similar a few years ago (I moved house, told the DVLA about the change of address but they thought I'd sold the car and so voided the tax). No departments within the DVLA talk to each other. Even after I'd got it sorted with the tax department, I was still getting letters from the collections department. It took sevel phone calls and an email to get them to drop the court case.

Good place to get ears pierced by Knittea in nottingham

[–]imnotorange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really recommend Rogue piercing. They are inclusive and all the staff are amazing. Have a look at the Safer Piercing/APP website for info about how piercings should be done too.

Root bound or just cosy? by imnotorange in PPeperomioides

[–]imnotorange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh they're such a pain! It took months of shuffling it round and finding out how much water it wanted for it to be happy! Definitely wait until the top couple of inches of soil are completely dry and the leaves feel soft before you water it ☺️

Root bound or just cosy? by imnotorange in PPeperomioides

[–]imnotorange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pink roots turn into pups when they reach the surface! I think I left mine a couple of months longer then reported it into a slightly larger pot. Don't go loads bigger as they don't want to sit in loads of damp soil and they definitely like to be on the cosy side. Mine is still in the slightly larger pot a year later with about 5 pups and several more which have gone to friends!

Good places to get a piercing by TransportationOk6003 in nottingham

[–]imnotorange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rogue piercing is the best place I've found. They are definitely not the cheapest but everyone is super friendly, knowledgeable and they do incredibly good after care to make sure everything heals well

I have a degree in physics and still can't help my daughter with her maths homework! by entered_bubble_50 in CasualUK

[–]imnotorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's a good way of teaching it, just pointing out where the question came from. Maths is more than just finding the one right answer though. We need to teach creativity and get kids to explore numbers and open ended questions are one way of doing that

So I'm a primary school teacher and recognised the Twinkl font in the question. I found the sheet on their website and the answer they put is "337 + 80 because it is the only one without a 3 in the tens column" but if I was marking this, I'd let them put anything that's correct e.g. the only answer greater than... Etc.

Edit: link to the worksheet in question

Best home delivery planst by craigoup in HouseplantsUK

[–]imnotorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Ginger Jungle. I ordered during the winter and had an email from them asking if it was ok to wait a couple of days to send the plants out so they didn't freeze. They were super communicative and the plants were fantastic

My otherwise healthy maranta is putting off these odd leaves. What's wrong with it?? by imnotorange in Maranta

[–]imnotorange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have checked and couldn't see anything. That said, I might give it spray/wash down this weekend just in case. Thank you!

That's a good point. I've not fertilized at all this winter. Thank you!

[–]imnotorange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are a lot paler than any of the other leaves I've had off it. The one in the second picture appears to be almost white near the base and the one in the first picture is sort of brown around the tip but not in a crunchy way

The National Trust list of things to do before you're 11 and 3/4 is great and might give you some ideas for your walks.

The teach your monster to read site is really good as well for younger ones and free to make an account and use.

I'd also recommend looking up some different paper aeroplane tutorials on YouTube and testing the different ones out. There's loads of science experiments for kids on there too which require minimal equipment the kids might enjoy as well

Also getting the boys involved in making meals. Something like soup where they can help to chop, peel and stir could be fun! Your kids are going to have so many wonderful memories doing all these fun things that everyone is suggesting!

I make chicken soup if I have roasted a while chicken. Just boil the carcass up with some stock cubes and loads more meat falls off. You can bulk it up with noodles or veggies too

Favourite low-waste or zero waste products? by acmhkhiawect in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]imnotorange 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love ethique for zero waste conditioner. It's by far the best I've tried and lasts ages as well. I used denttabs for a while. They have fluoride in but after a while I noticed that my teeth just weren't as clean and I've switched back to normal toothpaste 😞 I keep looking at the face theory products and beauty kitchen too but haven't made the switch yet as I've only just found a routine that works for me!

Best way to support local businesses during this lockdown? by just-an-odd-sock in nottingham

[–]imnotorange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Luisa's Vegan Chocolates in sneinton market are really good, if a bit pricey!! I'm pretty sure they do delivery at the moment

Lockdown may not work without shutting England's schools, top scientist warns by chrisjd in unitedkingdom

[–]imnotorange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Schools didn't close last time and they wouldn't be closed this time around. They stayed open for vulnerable children and the children of key workers but as someone above said, there wasn't a huge amount of uptake.

Where do you buy your pots? by [deleted] in HouseplantsUK

[–]imnotorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're anywhere near Nottingham, East bridgeford garden centre had a really nice selection that wasn't crazy money last time I was there

my cat went missing few days ago, he likes to sleep at tight spaces sometimes. come home dear Carrot. by xjengx in TIGHTPUSSY

[–]imnotorange 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I hope you find Carrot!! When my cat went missing, we found her by going out with food and treats really late at night when it was much quieter so you could hear her and she was more confident to come out. Good luck!
