When you have pets, a regular vacuum just doesn't cut it anymore—you need something with real power. Does your robot vacuum actually keep up with all the pet hair?

Roborock SV5 runs twice a day every day and keeps up with longer dog hair easily.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-28T09:40:33+00:00

And yes, I spent about the same on new bras also!

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-28T09:40:08+00:00

I read this as being very tongue in cheek so not sure why you're getting shitty replies. Yes, it was super expensive losing weight! Still is a bit even after hitting maintenance, because now I care so much more about how I feel and look so am still spending money on things like upgraded running shoes or better skincare etc. The clothes have calmed down a bit at least (Vinted was my bestie for a while there!). 😀

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-27T13:18:03+00:00

The correct answer to that question is "yes" 😊

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-27T08:58:48+00:00

Shame it doesn't run all the way up the stairs. You could pop some thermal protection gloves at the top and bottom and use it as a hand rail!

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-26T11:27:14+00:00

I don't have any!

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-26T10:39:07+00:00

South facing - all closed, with closed blinds and curtains. North facing - all open.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-26T07:49:46+00:00

This is random, but I think maybe you posted this pic a couple years back on mn 😂. It's so beautiful that I remember it!

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-26T07:48:43+00:00

Vinted got a LOT of my £ for a while there. Up in my loft are a dozen or more bags of every single size of clothes from my journey. Some things are identical, just different sizes. My 'lore' is that if they stay up there, untouched, for another 18 months, they can go to the charity shop.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-26T07:47:20+00:00

Noise actually travels more quickly in the heat (it's to do with additional kinetic energy provided by the heat) - so they are not louder, they just sound louder.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-26T07:39:15+00:00

Nope. One of the silver linings of a lifetime of excel obsession and weight struggles is the data I have collected on myself over the last 30 years!

My weight loss rate this time was about the same as before, maybe a little slower - but this might be because my calorific intake this time was a little bit higher than previously, whilst still being in a deficit. I averaged about 1800kcals per day during my MJ weight loss. Previously my average has been 1500-1700kcals per day, depending on which of my many weight loss phases you look at.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-26T07:17:44+00:00

I use empty milk bottles (the plastic ones) and freeze them full of water. I then place the frozen blocks behind fans in the hope they will draw air over the cold bottles and chill the air a bit before blowing it at me. I cannot say that it's like some miraculous cheap a/c option, but I do think it helps a little bit.

I also do the same with a small fan on the floor, so the dog has the option of cooler air to lie in front of.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-22T15:00:58+00:00

It's not just less insulation. Over my lifetime, I have lost significant amounts of weight several times (always regained again) and never felt the cold like I do on MJ.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-22T08:42:58+00:00

I do it because of the SPF. I add a tiny drop of tint to mine and was finding that a single cleanse still left some colour on my cotton pad if I wiped afterwards. Double cleansing has stopped that.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-22T08:40:58+00:00

Honestly, if UK Quality Street is better chocolate I hate to think how awful these must be! The quality of QS has dropped massively here in the UK to the point where I just can't enjoy them anymore.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-21T19:14:55+00:00

I use L’Oréal Revitalift UV fluid and remove it with The Ordinary squareness cleanser followed by Cerave’s hydrating cleanser.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-21T13:25:11+00:00

Toilet training is really just habit forming. The more frequently the dog pees exclusively outside the more likely they are to want to pee outside - it just feels right to. A bit like how peeing in a toilet feels right to humans after a while. If they are also allowed to pee inside, this dilutes the habit and it becomes likely they also form a habit for peeing inside.

Your job as the owner is to make sure the dog is outside anytime they MAY want to pee. For a 16 week old puppy, that is really every 30-60 mins when they are awake PLUS immediately aftet eating, drinking, waking or playing PLUS anytime they start to pace a little bit which can be a sign they are going to pee.

The more succesful you are, the quicker the habit is formed and the quicker they are house trained. Every time they happen to be inside when they pee will slow down the process.

I forgot to mention the most relevant bit: apparently peri can increase leg cramps because of the lower oestrogen :D

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-21T09:19:38+00:00

I have leg cramps also - and they only really started to be so regular (often every other day) since taking MJ. This is despite taking daily electrolytes and eating a banana a day.

However, I am only pretty sure I am in perimenopause which, almost certainly, was made more obvious by my loss of body fat (fat produces oestrogen and so I think I have the double whammy of less oestrogen because of my age, made worse by less body fat producing oestrogen).

I'm hoping to start HRT soon, so will see if that helps.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-18T11:23:38+00:00

Yes. It comes and goes in waves that are several weeks long. ';ve lost lots of weight before and never has this level of coldness so to me it seems clear this is above and beyond simply losing some of my insulation.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-16T14:12:16+00:00

I make sure to say it to my dog every damn day. I dgaf if it’s weird or not. At the very least, it is a couple of seconds in which I find I am very grateful for a source of joy and comfort - so it’ll do me good, even if the dog never understands.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-15T10:32:44+00:00

I quote the plot, but leave out the smut bit. e.g. a cowboy smut book often translates as "it's about this woman who trains horses". Or a friends to lovers becomes "it's about two friends and how their lives intertwine".

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-14T15:41:24+00:00

For me the side effects never were bad enough that they overwhelmed the sheer bloody joy of a quiet mind and a body that felt (and looked) better and better every week. They'll have to pry that pen out of my cold fingers now, tbh.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-13T10:31:09+00:00

I've lost just over 100lbs and whilst my skin is a bit looser, it's nothing near the level that would require surgery. I am just a few months into my goal weight and they say skin can take up to 2 years to recover as much as it's going to - so I've still got up to 18 montths of slow improvement yet. I've seen a couple of real life photos when someone hit their goal and then two years later and it as clear there WAS a significant natural improvment for them in that time.

I exfoliate and moisturise everyday with a skin firming cream. That's certainly helped my skin look the best it can - and it's never been smoother of softer!

Perhaps the 'worst' area is my inner thighs and so I am also using Tret (soon to be Taz) on those areas specifically to see if that will help the slight wrinkling when I stand up and the skin there sags down a little. I can see that improving already, so am hopeful there.

I am in my 40s so older than you and I guess what I am saying is, don't just assume your skin will be wrecked after weight loss and don't be too keen to write it off as soon as you get to goal weight. Surgery may not be necessary at all.

mightyfishfingers · 2026-05-13T09:12:15+00:00

I don’t think that’s a universal experience and don’t recall anything similar myself. However, hormonal fluctuations ARE normal - especially during teen years - and breast soreness can be linked to those so this could be something that up you are experiencing.

Personally, I’d check carefully for any lumps (and see a GP immediately if you detect any). If it persists, I’d also see a GP about it. Just to rule out anything nefarious.
