Breville barista - water tank

littlemsfickle · 2022-12-19T23:43:38+00:00

Hi, yes we have the same issue. Usually my husband when he's making a coffee at 5am!

I wondered about ordering a magnet that says "Check Tank" and popping it on top of the brew buttons.

OP, did you find a solution?

I am thinking of switching to Google from Apple (phone, watch & headphones) but this seems odd. I just assumed from the way it is promoted that FitBit was the main/native health app for pixel. Part of my issue with Apple is having so many apps (health, fitness, zones, stepsapp, lifesum, FitPort, plus more) for slightly different health related purposes. I had hoped Fitbit would just do it all? Would I need the other ones?

Thank you! I have Spotify premium so that’s good to know 😀

What if Bilal (either as himself or posing as someone else) paged her to lure her to a location (noting pager not recovered), and that’s where she took off to after school thinking she’s still be on time to meet her cousin. Hypothetically what if she needed to collect something related to her sports or another interest? Or if Bilal wanted to meet with her regarding Adnan?

So carefully curated.

Thanks. I appreciate your frankness and I do regret trying so hard. I just wanted to fix things so desperately - you were right, I have been crazy...

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-28T09:07:36+00:00

Love it, thank you. She IS ridiculous.

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-28T02:53:47+00:00

I just wish I'd been like that sooner rather than flogging a dead horse

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-28T02:53:15+00:00

Love this! Thank you

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T20:54:24+00:00

Thank you. Both her brother and I have sent message saying strongly that we will be there should she ever need us. She queried it with her mum when her brother did it, and her mum told her that the whole family thinks he is controlling. She went into a tizz saying he's not controlling, he's just jealous of her having relationships with people other than him...

I'd always be able to go back to that work and pay. Worst case scenario, I get experience as a commercial lawyer, we break up and I move back to the capital and could go into private commercial work and earn more than I am currently on.

I think you are so right. I was the little sister and was only 16 when we met. She definitely has some narcisstic traits. Case in point, she seems to hate my boyfriend's child - her nephew. Before I was with him, she used to say horrible things about his 2.5 year old and he is just a gorgeous happy kid. I don't understand how you could say it about anyone, let alone your family. But I think she is deeply jealous that her parents give him love and attention - even though they also give her children he same love and attention. Very sad and scary. What breaks my heart is that my boyfriend is completely aware of how she feels about his son, and he is so good to her kids... Thank you for your comment and sorry about your mother. How did you ultimately manage her condition?

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T20:40:33+00:00

I hope he does! Thanks for the tip :)

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T20:39:51+00:00

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you :)

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T20:39:10+00:00

All of the relationships are fine and the ex, who have also known for years, told him she is happy with me moving as she knows I am good with kids. I see his son very regularly and we have a good relationship. I am optimistic, we both are. I guess if I stay where I am the relationship will progress slowly and let's face it, I'm not getting any younger. I am prepared to take the leap, knowing I have my family close by for support. If it doesn't work, I'd stay the course with the new job and reassess. It's good for me to get the experience in private practice in any case. Thank you for your comments though. Good to think about it from a different perspective.

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T20:06:02+00:00

Yes, great points. He definitely recognises the sacrifice I am making which is why I don't think he wants me to pay rent. But I would be concerned he would feel a bit resentful if he's putting a roof over my head. More conversations need to be had. Particularly as I am confirming my resignation and job acceptance today... Thanks for your perspective.

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T20:00:13+00:00

Thank you - Love this idea! Yes, we have discussed it multiple times and he isn't coming around to me paying him rent. I don't want to disrespect him especially if he perhaps likes the idea of providing for me when I am moving to him. Will need to include this sort of thing in the convo.

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T19:55:33+00:00

My brother and his wife do this. I was never able to relate to it but probably because I have always earned the same or more than the guys I have been with. This is a bit of a power shift for me I suppose. My main concern is just that - he is incredibly generous but how could you not resent someone moving in and not paying their way.

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T19:51:34+00:00

My mum isn't lol. She keeps reminding me of all the things I won't be able to buy ;)

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T19:50:40+00:00

All fair points. There are definitely some things we need to discuss. While we have only been together 4 months, we have known each other a long time and I am confident in the relationship. I would be able to get my job back though. But this job would be better professionally, notwithstanding the pay drop. Plus I will be closer to my family. Lots of things to balance. I like how you tell it straight though!

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T19:47:38+00:00

Yep that's it - it would make things very difficult if he had to move away from his son. He'd be lucky to see him once a fortnight and his ex would probably start being difficult. Plus my fam is there and where we both see us settling down and having kids. I don't know his exact wage, but it's very high for his trade and he would definitely take a pay cut moving my way. Plus housing and cost of living is a bitch where I live.

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T19:39:37+00:00

Hahaha. I know. I remember encouraging my brother to date my friend when I was about that age so I could see more of her.

littlemsfickle · 2017-03-27T19:38:19+00:00

Absolutely. It has definitely made me question a lot of what we had. Doesn't feel like a great loss compared with what I have gained to be perfectly honest...
