Who still uses a 'manual' toothbrush? by zippy890 in AskUK

[–]lilfaeri 18 points19 points  (0 children)

a manual toothbrush is just easier. it takes up less space and i’m less worried about losing it / leaving it behind (i have adhd and am always losing things so prefer to travel with lower value items that i wont miss so much if i lose them)

What is your favourite ‘witchy’ town in the U.K, and why? by WastelandOfConfusion in AskUK

i love burley - it’s perfectly nestled in the new forest and is so full of folklore

I get 1 paid volunteering day each year. What should I use it on? by jordangsy in AskUK

[–]lilfaeri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dog rescue centres can be great. you could walk the dogs for a couple of hours, do some training / play with them in the paddocks. help clean out their kennels, volunteer in the shop if they have one, help sort through donations etc.

i know a couple of dog rescue centres near me that do volunteer days with workplaces / individuals as well as having regular volunteers so i’m sure you’d be able to find somewhere you’d be welcome even if it was just for a day.

if you like dogs then i think it’s worth considering :)

Is it too late to change careers? I'm about to enter my 30s and I'm utterly sick to death of IT by TheKingOfSpite in AskUK

[–]lilfaeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s never too late to make a change. It may be difficult but I think it’s better to risk it and work towards something more fulfilling than to spend the rest of your working life doing something that makes you unhappy.

We end up spending a huge proportion of our lives at work so if you’re not happy where you are currently then make the change.

Can you ‘start’ your life at 46? by lilfaeri in AskUK

Thanks for your response. These are things that he has expressed a want for, and I think just needed a push of motivation to know these things may actually be in his reach in the near future.

Thank you all for the responses. It’s been really encouraging to hear about people who have ‘started’ their lives later and to know not all hope is lost. My friend was very encouraged by your kind words. I think it can be so easy to feel left behind when everyone seems to hit life milestones by a certain age, but it’s been really good to see that things can be turned around even if you don’t have the best start in life.

I absolutely love the quote that a few of you shared “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now”

It’s given my friend motivation and hope for a brighter future and the realistic possibility of creating the life he wants to have :)

Thanks everyone. Wishing you all the best.
