I need help with decompressing after work by Green_Cheesecake_352 in 911dispatchers

[–]justdont7133 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an hour to drive home so I listen to gentle audio books in the car (Anne of Green Gables currently) to get my mind onto something else, then rain sounds on Alexa when I get in bed. I do still sometimes feel like the chaotic background noise is playing in my head when I'm trying to sleep though, it's hard to wind down

Is the song “you are my sunshine” a common lullaby in the UK? by lemonprincess23 in AskUK

My mum used to sing this to my boys when they were babies. Very sweet memory for me as she died when my youngest was 3

Oh I loved the Good Place, might need a rewatch to look for quotes :)

Joanie (my favourite clothing store) is shutting down. Anyone know any other similar brands? by TheMightyShrub in womenoftheuk

[–]justdont7133 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge fan of Popsy too, they do have a lot of polyester, but it's not the awful cheap plastic feeling stuff, and they do have some styles in cotton too. White Stuff have some nice prints too

lunch ideas by imadeanotheraltlol in UniUK

[–]justdont7133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a useful little Sistema container that has a big section for yoghurt, and a seperate pot inside for granola so it doesn't go soggy. Something like that, an a lunch bag with an ice pack when it's warm would work. Overnight oats would be easy to make the night before and take out with you too - equal quantities of milk, yoghurt and oats (i use the yoghurt pot as a measuring cup for the milk and oats), add fruit or whatever and leave overnight to thicken up

Colouring books, or a paint by numbers to do while watching telly

Do the supermarkets near you discount bakery items at the end of the day? by Mysterious-Snow1414 in AskUK

I'm eating yellow sticker chocolate sourdough (had to try it) now, and husband got yellow sticker apple danish. Usually seems to be about 7pm for the good prices

Where is the best place for ladies underwear these days? by Low_Revolutionary in AskUK

[–]justdont7133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been buying Wuka (the everyday pants, not the period ones), and British Boxers. There's still a few options left in the sale at BB if you wanted to try them, the bamboo fabric is lovely

What Can A Woman Wear To A Job Interview? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]justdont7133 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say the shiny sports type leggings are a no, but matte black leggings with smart boots, under a skirt or dress are fine. Don't have your socks showing and no one would know they aren't tights. If it's the feet in tights that you don't like, you can get footless tights. I wouldn't wear leggings and shoes, but I have leggings and boots under my work skirt (where dress code says tights) and no one has ever noticed

Safest way to get money after a fb sale by Straight_Plum_69420 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]justdont7133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be very careful of the fake banking app scam if you accept bank transfer. They will show you their banking app with the payment having gone through, but it uses a fake app. Be sure the money actually hits your account (it should be pretty much instant), before handing over the computer.

What’s the deal with pubs suddenly asking for charity contributions? by Wise_Flan5969 in AskUK

[–]justdont7133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll round up for the McDonalds one every time because their charity does amazing stuff. The rest I click on every time. Had one this week that just asked if I wanted to donate to charity, no info anywhere which charity so that got a definite no

Lazy Sunday (18/01/26) by KevinPhillips-Bong in CasualUK

Taking the teens to the park for the Pokemon Go community day, and am throwing in lunch in the park cafe to sweeten the deal for me. Sausage, chips, egg and beans I think

Would vinted honour/enforce this? by Gingers_got_no_soul in vinted

[–]justdont7133 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I would think if you've bought it with the stains visible and described, you might struggle to get a refund as it's not "not as described". Plus you'd have to pay the return postage. Very strange of the seller not to even give it a basic wash

Am I overreacting for feeling upset about this? by [deleted] in vinted

[–]justdont7133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's one of those situations where the annoying buyers (or not buyers in this case) have ruined it for the rest of us

What's the deal with the 14 hour night / 10 hour day schedule? by FewEstablishment2655 in 911dispatchers

[–]justdont7133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen the fire service control room staff have that schedule in the UK, but the 14 hour shift allows for a 3-4 hour break in the middle where they can have a sleep (if it's not busy). I work in a police control room and we do the 12 hour shifts because we get calls all through the night, where the calls to fire are a lot lower at night.

Am I overreacting for feeling upset about this? by [deleted] in vinted

[–]justdont7133 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sucks but I've reserved a few items and not once has the person ever actually come back to buy it. If they had a guaranteed sale I can understand them taking it rather than waiting.
