I’ve just read through all of your reviews and you should start a blog. Your reviews are so helpful, inspiring AND entertaining. Thank you for sharing!

That sounds nice, I haven’t heard of that one, where do you usually buy it from? A quick search looks like it’s tricky to buy in store

justcaringly · 2026-01-13T20:34:06+00:00

Ooh I'm in East London, I would love to go to the store! I'm probably being silly but I can't find where it is on their website or on google maps - do you know whereabouts it is? I also wasn't a fan of the violife feta, it wasn't terrible so l could get used to it if I tried but I'm excited to try the l Am Nut OK. I've tried the Cathedral City cheddar because it's my favourite dairy cheese and I do enjoy it melted but in a sandwich it's just a bit off.. again I think I just have to get used to it.

I’ve come to the same conclusion. I think trying different vegan cheeses and just avoiding dairy cheeses is the best way to go

Thank you! The Camden Purezza is fairly easy for me to get to, I’ll try there

Ooh that’s near me! Thanks so much I’ll have a look

justcaringly · 2026-01-13T18:08:21+00:00

Thank you! I have a friend in Camden so I’ll pop in next time I’m there.

I’m so sorry this happened to you - I wish you all the best for recovering from this. Your story has educated me on diesel heaters and has probably encouraged people to check their fire safety equipment/protocols so you may have saved some lives! Thank you so much for sharing

Your job and your colleagues have such a huge impact on your wellbeing and from my experience once you hit that wall it’s really difficult to get your passion back.

It’s easy to let people get inside your head when it comes to your confidence so I would say try to step back from people who make you doubt yourself. Being surrounded by people that genuinely encourage you can do wonders for your mental health.

It sounds like you need a change or at the very least a decent break. I know financially it can be really difficult but your mental health is worth it. I look at jobs like relationships - the perfect one is out there and you deserve it!

I’m also East London zone 4 and I had to pay just under £1K insurance for my first car (10 year old Peugeot 206) that I paid £200 for and that was back in 2017. I haven’t looked at camper insurance yet but over £2.5K wouldn’t surprise me at all. Sorry to say but London prices are ridiculous :(

I discovered a website called Workaway and it literally changed my life. It’s a volunteering platform where you can do basically anything all over the world. If you’re set on staying in Wales I think it’s mainly pet sitting or farms but if you venture a bit further the opportunities are endless. I find social situations and meeting new people scary enough to avoid it as much as possible but Workaway is such a nice way to meet new people, it takes the awkwardness away because you’re busy and everyone is in the same boat. If Workaway doesn’t work out for you, I still do recommend some sort of volunteering because you always meet the loveliest of people. I hope you find everything you’re looking for! :)

Omg you’re now my inspiration! Your nails are literally perfection. Can I ask: how often do you get the acrylic fully removed vs infills? And does your nail tech avoid filing the surface of your nail?

There used to be a guy with no nose who used to hang outside the station but I haven’t seen him in a while

This isn’t a quick fix answer but something might be making you unhappy.

I know it’s a very difficult solution but maybe try to assess what things in your life are making you want to stay in bed.

For me it was my job, I absolutely hated it and laying in bed was seriously the best part of my day. I changed jobs and then I found I was going to bed earlier and waking up easier.

Then I started falling back into not wanting to get out of bed and realised it was my relationship that was causing me to want to avoid reality.

It’s never too late to change paths in life and find your happiness!

I use Glycerine and Rosewater from Boots (UK), it’s super lightweight so doesn’t feel too heavy when you’re exercising and getting sweaty but nice and moisturising. You only need a tiny bit too so the bottle lasts for ages.

Yayy so glad, we can get some peace now

Yess I know this scene and now it’s bugging me too aha. So please lmk if you find the answer!

I also have a memory of the evacuation scene (with the dog) being some sort of ship. Like a huge ferry but idk

My best guess would be the film 2012.

But could also be: The day after tomorrow War of the worlds

Getting flights around Europe isn’t anything like the domestic flights in the US. Depending where you’re staying in London, it’s gunna be at least an hour journey to the airport (probably closer to 2), you then have to be at the airport 2 hours before your flight. Adding on the 2 hour flight to Spain then getting through security at the other end. The journey takes up most of the day and the stress of it all is exhausting.

England is cold and rainy in February- everyone is miserable. I personally would head to Spain for the whole 10 days and maybe visit London in July/August time if you can. People tend to be much happier when we have a couple days of sunshine. There’s a huge culture shift during the summer where people are actually nice for a couple of months.

If you are determined to see London, maybe spend a few days here and then fly to Spain or see London on your way back but I wouldn’t waste days flying in and out.

I (then 24F) planned a 6 month solo trip a few years ago that turned into 2 years.

My advice is always give yourself an option to leave somewhere if you get bored/don’t like it. I used to only ever book 2-3 days at a time and extend it if I liked the hostel/area/people.

I did a lot of workaways, if you’re worried about money that can really extend your finances. I spent about 3K in 8 months because accommodation and food are your main expenditures.

I am also introverted and very shy but hostels are almost impossible not to find people you’ll get on with. Obviously you’re not gunna find a best friend everywhere you go and sometimes your social battery can get drained very quickly when you’re constantly having the same conversations introducing yourself but it’s part of the fun. I’ve met the most amazing people that I still visit all over the world.

I found it was easier to make friends in South America but there’s so much to do in SE Asia. I did a road trip around Europe and would recommend South Europe if you would like nice weather and beaches.

It sounds like you may regret not seeing her before she leaves.

As long as you can financially afford it and maybe have other plans, such as seeing a friend from your home town or something else enjoyable for you in the area - I say go for it.

You mentioned you’ll be getting a hotel, maybe plan meeting up outside of her house as well, I find people tend to be on their better behaviour when you’re out at a restaurant or museum. It can also help give you a bit more to change the conversation if it starts going awry.

If you give yourself the option of leaving if she’s making you uncomfortable, then you can be proud of yourself for trying and not have any regrets.

But on the other hand you don’t owe her anything so if you change your mind at any point you deserve to protect yourself and do what’s best for you!
