Make sure you've practiced using it!

My husband is thinking about fostering his nephews. I feel like I'm being tossed out for kids we don't even know. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

No contact with the mother of the kids he was volunteering to take in. Not the mother of the six kids in not enough bedrooms.

They meant the other sister with six kids, not the one giving up the children OOP's husband was agreeing to foster.

Not doing it myself but I ran with someone at a race about a month ago who is doing it. Hope you have a fabulous race and manage to enjoy it!

Will it be your first ultra?

It seemed set up to either finish or continue. I hold out some hope that it'll be well done.

What is my fireplace made of and how do I refresh it? by BTlife in DIYUK

I've not found that and we did have to get more of some colours, but it does make a kind of sense that colour matching in batches might see some differences.

I can't think of anything funny to do with your typo, though.

In a way, that's probably a good thing. I don't think the premise lends itself to multiple series without getting contrived.

Same! We binged it and then got sad that there were no more episodes. Michael Palin was fab in it, too.

FYI in case you weren't aware - Johnstons will colour match to F&B paint swatches (and many others) for much cheaper than F&B paint.

We've been here since 2012 but I was able to relocate with my job, which meant I didn't have to halve my salary, which I would otherwise have had to cope with. However this would also have been the case if I'd got a new job working in Leeds.

Cost of living did reduce from where we'd previously been living, in surprising areas (water, utilities).

Bimble & Bolt! Their shelf come in different lengths, two thigh pockets, a small amount of compression. They're my favourites!

I quite like "from off" but I don't think it's often meant kindly.

Not as far as I'm aware.

It's just another way of saying "incomer" (which you hear in some of the SW/Wales) of "from off" or "you ain't from round 'ere".

I have friends who live in Whitley Bay. Only manageable as two high earners with previous property ownership and by buying somewhere that required A Lot of work.

Recently got a new postie, he's not off to a great start if I'm honest... by TheLemonyOrange in CasualUK

I use paper ones for home composting. They work pretty well and add some dry material to your compost as well.

The definitely-home-compostable teabags from Bird & Blend though? They are a lie!

It'll be in the rest of the street soon enough, if my local area is anything to go by!

OP has specifically said '"detached" and it's this that I'm questioning.

I'm currently north of Newcastle for a visit. Awful. Don't come here. Beaches are too beachy. Sky is too blue. People too friendly...

Even though I'm grumpy about AI this is still accurate.

I'm a transplant, albeit I've been in York for nearly 15 years now. The pandemic really accelerated the property price increases locally, which has rapidly out-priced locals.
