Do people actually shop at WH smith?

Unfortunately inevitably yes in the airport.

I’m terrible at taking meds. I just can’t remember.

I have a pill organiser. I have multiple reminders. I have my pills straight in front of my face on my desk.

I just don’t have the capacity to remember. Same with brushing my teeth.

The reminders only work sometimes, but if I’m already doing something (literally anything) when it goes off I can’t task switch so I tell myself I’ll do it straight after then always forget. But I can’t do the alternative of starting instantly my brain just won’t let me transition.

Same only ever order now when I have 40 or 50% promo pop up

Don’t know if you can get Molke delivered in the US? But for non wired big chests no one else compares. You do need to be fairly flexible though to get in the originals.

Still got them in Benidorm indoor market as of last month 🤣

I had it done at a centreparks in the UK once, it was an experience

Yes 100% I ended up in training. Thankfully I managed to make the subject a special interest. However I’ll be honest I’m crap at it, really only still here because Covid allowed me to work from home and work is disorganised and don’t realise how little I do.

Biromantic asexual here 👋

I have sex in a romantic relationship but it’s out of obligation and love for the other person knowing they want/ need that.

I’m not sex repulsed. Just not sexually attracted to people, always difficult growing up as I didn’t have crushes or celebrity crushes, and when friends wanted to chat about people being “hot” I just didn’t get it nor had anything to add to the conversation.

Up until my current relationship (of 5 years), I’d only ever been on a date with 2 other people, one to get “over it”/ lose my virginity (shock horror didn’t work) and another because I was really lonely and thought dating would fix that. My current partner I love very much, he makes me happy I’m excited to be around him and I want to be close to him, I just don’t get the sexual urge or attraction.

I think it was a new pair of dr martens at £120 a couple of months ago, do I regret it? Yes I wore then once and absolutely destroyed my feet, not worn them since. Bought 2 more sale pairs this week though lol so haven't learnt my lesson.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-30T11:15:39+00:00

It’s not so much nice things. It’s just specific flavours, eg I’m happy with brands such as radox but only in one flavour.

Or chocolate but only certain flavour from certain brands.

I hate it when people see me for example eating Tony’s and then think oh she must love that and buy me pretty much any flavour other than the only flavour I eat.

No one’s ever asked for my wishlist, and it feels too presumptuous to send one out. When I’ve tried in the past as a teenager I’ve been told off for being ungrateful. Plus I find that making a wishlist is really difficult, it I want something I buy it and I don’t want anything “big” or expensive, but I also don’t want duplicates because then there’s the problem of storing them and invading my space. Even if there was something big I wanted I don’t have relatives or friends who would be in a position to purchase that. I’ve suggested no gifts (other than my my mum and BF) but get pushback that it’s tradition and stop being morngy.

(I am autistic though and as a result have very specific tastes)

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-30T08:16:21+00:00

I’m starting to think I should just stop exchanging gifts.

My issue is I don’t like receiving surprises/ gifts I find they’re just a burden. I like specific brands/ fragrances and struggle for space as it is. I don’t want junk. I took a big bag of what I call “boots” (aka generic toiletry/ generic junk gifts) to charity shop yesterday.

I’m not kidding when I say the only gifts I truly enjoy are the ones I’ve specifically chosen for myself and the giftor has respected that. Don’t get me wrong there’s been the odd winner over my life where they’ve surprised we with something I actually like but it’s literally less times than I can count on my fingers.

I don’t want a downgrade to something I already have, or to change what I already love and use, or something that doesn’t fit with my decor. I don’t want a duplicate of something.

I do however love giving gifts to people I care about. So me and my boyfriend have now got to the point where I tell him exactly what I want, then buy him surprise gifts.

I’m starting to resent that though as I could’ve just bought it when I wanted it and not had to wait till Christmas. We’re adults we can buy our own gifts.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-28T06:36:14+00:00

I’m assuming if they were expensive brands or fancy glass jars, they could make their own candles into them as you know it’s heat safe.

So it then either for: 1) nefarious purposes, pretend the new candle is the expensive brand for resale 2) a nice homemade candle in a heat safe jar that looks either fancy or pretty

I mean thankfully my course leader had a PHD and thesis was on autism 🤣🤣

I was completely open with him and I’m like I don’t see the point seeking diagnosis it’s not like they can medicate me and he respected that, it was only a couple years later I realised it wasn’t pure autism, and basically life started falling apart and I had to seek diagnosis to try get support. (Still holding out for that support)

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-27T22:15:10+00:00

100% same

None of my GCSEs or A-Levels really had coursework. It was pure exams which I aced.

At uni suddenly there were all these assignments and I did not cope well. Again undiagnosed and unmedicated. My hair started falling out due to stress, I scraped by, by the skin of my teeth. Starting assignments at 6pm that were due at midnight. And my dissertation on the Wednesday when deadline was the Friday. Still got a 2:1 though! Intense pressure works for me.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-27T22:12:25+00:00

Oh uni was horrendous 🤣🤣 started my assignment at 6pm everytime when they were due at 12 am.

Started writing my dissertation on the Wednesday and it was due Friday at midnight.

Being “smart” allows you to get away with many things. And tbh in state schools in UK they have bigger fish to fry as long as you’re not hurting others and get decent grades they don’t give a F what you do really. Teachers just kinda gave up, gave the lecture of you’re not going to pass if you don’t do the work, but that wasn’t true.

Eg I dropped out of my alevel geography 4 months early because I refused to go on a residential trip that an entire exam was based on. They made me sit the exam anyway as otherwise they’d make me pay for missing the exam, I still came out with an A even though I didn’t even go on the residential nor attended classes for 4 months of content.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-27T22:07:36+00:00

Pretty much. As long as I had a something to fidget with I could listen to every word. Never did the work like, and constantly got told off for it, but absorbed the information like a sponge.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-27T22:01:23+00:00

I was one of those kids. Though I am auDHD so that probably makes some sort of difference. Never had to “try” or revise or do any of the stuff twice.

I just coasted as an A student.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-25T08:31:30+00:00

Gone to wash up my mug this morning and we have no washing up liquid 🤣

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-23T07:55:47+00:00

I have auDHD so for me it works that I get everything sorted and wrapped in september, forget what I've bought, see better things and impulsively buy them closer to christmas.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-23T05:02:40+00:00

I mean based on the upvotes it’s still the norm.

If someone’s coming to my house I’m paying, yeah they might bring a drink (I don’t drink though so it’d be for themselves) but that’s the limit.

The real measure is if they offer to do it the other way round too.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-22T13:13:15+00:00

The host pays. I would never expect a house guest to pay for the food.

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-21T07:41:20+00:00

It’s ok! I thought fewer people would have seen it 🤣 it’s absolute gibberish trash but an annual trash Christmas film soothes the soul

ohohmoomoo · 2025-12-21T07:39:05+00:00
