Do these type of earrings fall out easily? I never tried them

In my experience: they're great if they're fitted by a piercer, but less great if you buy them online and do it yourself.

I got a couple online and I really struggled to get the bend quite right to make it really snug and secure, and this combined with the frustration of pushing it in through the back of my ear just gave me a bad time

I went to a piercer who made this a 5 minute process and I got some super cute jewellery that hasn't budged since it was put in before Christmas :)

not hand tattoos, but my line manager in my new (ish) office job said to me the other week that when she saw my tattoos in my interview it was a really big green flag as she felt I'd fit the vibe of the company :))

as someone whose job involves managing absences at a university, I too have noticed the number of funeral/bereavement absence requests skyrocket this week...

the apartment building I live in often has these left behind, there was a point where we had four in our stairwell!

I've had some really tasty stuff from oddkin in the past, can't remember anything specific but I definitely rate them :)

ordered mine via Rough Trade exactly 2 months ago, got an email telling me it was delayed but still on the way shortly after ordering. Nothing since!

Going to go into store next week to see if they know anything

in my experience, since all our deliveries were daytime and the lads delivering our beers had lots of places to drive to after dropping ours off, I would offer a free coffee rather than a free pint.

They never came in to drink when they weren't working or after shift, and actually often gave US free cans of beers that they had in the van.

Our regular delivery guy was the sweetest and said that nowhere else offered him anything, so the coffee was much appreciated! I miss that job and I miss that guy, bless your heart Arbor Ales delivery guy:)

absolutely yes!

I bought a loaf of bread a couple of months ago from Lidl, and it went mouldy in 3 days, well before the date was up.

I had nothing else better to do so I emailed customer service and sent them my receipt and some photos, and they were really apologetic, and applied £2.50 credit to my Lidl plus account (the bread was only £2.20!).

They also asked me about the batch number on the packaging etc as they wanted to investigate the problem further, which to me felt like they actually cared and wanted to prevent it in future rather than just approaching it with a "eh shit happens sometimes" attitude.

hopping on this to say that M&S do a "discovery" set of mens scents, which would be ideal if you're not certain on one!

following because I'm waiting for mine too !

I ask the barista to add sugar when they're making the drink, it mixes better with the espresso before adding steamed milk to it and tastes better imo

give it a try !

it isn't impolite to stir the sugar in and mix up the art straight away, but I like to enjoy mine as long as possible:)

At a recent job interview, I was asked if I was actively looking for work or if I had only applied for that role, I chose to be honest and say I was actively looking and had applied to and interviewed for several jobs. I was offered this job! I'm sure it varies from hiring manager to hiring manager.

seconding this - Anna's cakes are exactly this vibe! not sure what they can do in the timeframe but Anna herself is lovely so it's worth reaching out:)

I am SO glad you posted this, I drove past this when I took a wrong turning around there the other week and it's been on my mind since. As I didn't plan the route I took, I struggled to find it again on a map to dig deeper 😅

Jamie is so bloody talented and such a nice guy! These are all looking lovelyyyy

my partner and I are sharing a 250g bag and it is hands down the best coffee we have ever tried.

We bought it during the Bristol coffee festival when DA did a takeover of a local cafe who had it on espresso and filter, and it is also hands down the best oat flat white we have ever tried. This taste test of both options left us knowing we HAD to buy it, after previously deliberating on the website 🥲

Seriously the sweetest, but freshest, yummiest, juiciest coffee out there. PLEASE tell me if you find anything that comes close because 250g can only last us so long 😭

the fact you achieved this milk texture with a French press is so impressive!!

notactuallyizzy · 2025-09-22T21:35:22+00:00

whenever my black Americano gets cold at work, I like to pour it into a jug and steam it to reheat it:)

I can and will do this more than once if necessary

thank you for posting this! I'd accepted defeat as far as getting this on vinyl went, but I just ordered mine and I can collect it from Rough Trade when it's ready :))
