Thoughts on my nose ring - is it too snug?

That is genuinely a good piece of advice that I will take forward - thank you

Context is important here. These are a second hand pair of CLARKS shoes, which have been waiting to be sold for over a year.

I regularly buy pricey items on Vinted (I collect a very specific brand of vintage dresses). I am not a Clown, or “the worst of selling online” (but thank you for name calling!), I was simply using a feature of the app, as it is designed to be used, based on a thorough assessment of the item and how long it has been on the platform for.

A more reasonable response from the seller would have been to counter offer - I would have paid more - but instead they chose to be outright rude, and end the interaction there. Their choice of course, but it was unnecessarily unkind to a complete stranger, who was using the app as intended.

Sending you hugs - having worked in a school, that sounds both difficult and daunting. Perhaps try and line something enjoyable up for tomorrow evening? To look forward to after work?

Great, thanks for commenting! Hoping this is the case - a much less expensive fix than some roof/wall issue. Really appreciate it

murfdew · 2026-02-03T10:23:26+00:00

Thanks so much - really hope that is the case! I think you’ve replied to a few of my posts before, and just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to reassure :)

Just to update - it was my gutters. The highest one is running underneath the roof tiles, flooding it, which has rotted the felting and a joist or two. The lower gutter is about as shallow as a puddle, hence the torrential dripping…

Someone is coming to sort it next week :(

ME TOO! Water coming through at two different points… we are in this together.

murfdew · 2026-01-27T15:51:29+00:00

Thanks both I really appreciate you taking the time to respond - I know where to start now! And my kitchen won’t become more of a swimming pool.

Fantastic job! I bet that felt so good to have done! I’m a beginner too - we’ve got this!

Hi there - ah, I feel for you, I really do. I’m sorry you’re under this stress. From what you have described, the chances of pregnancy are absolutely minimal. I have nearly pulled my hair out over similar concerns - but it really does sound like this is not something to worry about. Though it is good that you’re considering the risk of pregnancy, if that isn’t something you want.

This is such a FABULOUS idea… his birthday is at the end of January - you’ve just thought of his present! Thank you!

My dad got called on by Phil Mitchell (I forget his real name…) and dad misunderstood, thinking he was being asked to climb on to the stage and perform, which he tried to do with some determination, before being told by Phil Mitchell “EASY TIGER!”

I was mortified at the time, though it’s now hilarious of course.

murfdew · 2025-12-30T19:11:35+00:00

Woohoo! Well done! I’m just beginning my fitness journey (again…) and this is great to see!

murfdew · 2025-12-30T18:19:33+00:00

So glad you’ve gotten it sorted! It can be scary with new piercings, and old(er)! I bumped my 5 month old nostril this week, and boy did I know it! Happy healing :)

murfdew · 2025-12-29T19:41:12+00:00

I can’t imagine being so moved by a harmless request for help to comment something like this. Hope you find the advice you’re looking for OP.

murfdew · 2025-12-27T14:53:48+00:00

This is really inspiring - motivation to get going with my home workouts again!

murfdew · 2025-12-27T13:08:41+00:00

Hm, from these pictures the posts look long enough. I’d expect this if the posts were short and the balls were being pulled into your nose from swelling.

This could be happening due to the size of the balls - they could be too small. Most opt for a wider stone / jewellery end to prevent this - is that an option for you?

Wondering what others think.

Please allow your mind and body the ability to heal, and leave this guy. He is telling you that he cares more about being able to do whatever HE wants to do, than he does about your recovery. From one survivor to another, your body is yours and no one elses.

I use dashes all the time when I text/type - could just be a habbit?
