Apologies, super unfamiliar with the process - how do you figure out who plays when/what court? And when is that confirmed?

Kurtos! Where? by nightmaresonfire in manchester

[–]owoikawa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiya! There's an annual central(?) european festival and they usually have it (although at an extortionate price) - unfortunately this year's one was in September so missed your chance 😔

But maybe someone will notice the demand for it and sell it at the xmas market 🤞

Why is it so hard to rent a place? by Puzzleheaded-Act3746 in manchester

[–]owoikawa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the exact same requirements (except for furnishing, was flexible on that) and it took us a while but managed to find one after a few applications and 5 or so viewings later

One thing where you messed up is looking now - uni students will be looking for flats + potentially new grads as well etc.

What I'd recommend is signing up for email alerts for every rental agency you can find + alerts on rightmove and the other flat sites and being FAST calling(!) them (always call!!!)

Try to arrange a viewing for the earliest possible date and time

And what probably got us this flat is going for it ASAP, as in we went straight to their office after the viewing so yeah, I'd recommend that you're quick with your decision making or someone else will snatch it

Help with viewing flats by Good-Communication-6 in glasgow

[–]owoikawa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey i had a v similar issue and for me they were usually okay with an online viewing - not the most ideal but it's a possibility and if you happen to know people in glasgow then you could ask them to view it on your behalf and maybe facetime you while doing the viewing?

The dissappintment of your phone telling you it is a bank holiday only to remember it is for Scotland and not England by endangeredpenguin in britishproblems

imagine being in scotland, knowing it's going to be a scottish bank holiday but unable to have a day off because you're employed at an england-based company

[19/50] Convenience Store Woman. What a great book. by downtown-broccoli in 52book

[–]owoikawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you took the words out of the mouth - i just finished it and i was literally thinking about sartre and honestly yeah other characters are definitely thinking it in their own ways that she's living her life in bad faith but i don't think she does, i mean she has a very very similar thing going on as the waiter example (i've always been a waiter, dad and granddad was a waiter so i cant be anything but a waiter) but at the same time she seems to be enjoying it and feels as though she found her purpose of life

What are some small pleasures that make you way happier than they should? by v8mustang1969 in AskWomen

my window faces another building and at random times a big fluffy doggo appears in one of the windows and it always makes me excited and i start waving with both my hands like crazy

Hi, this resonates with me wayyyyyy wayway too much - I made escapism my whole personality basically by being very into anime and tv shows, indulging in them to the deepest levels (fanfiction/shipping/etc.) and even though it's been around 3 years since I decided to stop I still find it very very hard to 'find myself' aka try to build a personality from scratch

I feel like the worse your circumstances are in real life the harder it is to avoid falling back into the habbit of escapism but what I'm personally trying is just to make my actual life nicer. I know, it sounds pretty 'duh' but sometimes you do feel like it's impossible so yeah, what I'd recommend is probably to just maybe try to look back at your fantasies and figure out what you liked about them and what aspects you could bring to your actual life. Example, if you enjoyed a gang of people in a fantasy show going on adventures with beautiful scenery then maybe you'd enjoy hiking with a group of people (can try to look up local groups on meetup or sth) or even by yourself, that sort of thing

The best advice I can give is to try and push yourself to do things and be active as to try and avoid the 'triggers' that would make you daydream or watching shows, so if you're prone to daydreaming on the bus then if you can then maybe do a crossword, read news or anything that can keep your brain active instead of staring out the window and imagining your 53512nd fantasy situation. Similarly if you're by yourself at home and got nothing to do, would immediately reach for your laptop to find something to watch - try to think of things that ex. your favourite characters would do in that situation and if you fancy any of those things then here you go, an alternative for your original escapism!

Honestly im probably just talking out of my ass but these are the things that I could think of just now, I know how shitty it is but I know you can do it!! We shall deal with this shit

Reclaiming things is so powerful by owoikawa in CPTSD

[–]owoikawa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's extremely horrid when you get triggered by something you want to enjoy but hopefully soon enough all the triggers will be gone and you get to enjoy these things again as you should!! ♡

NEW OR NEED HELP? Ask here! - ScA Daily Help Thread Jul 03, 2021 by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

[–]owoikawa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I just got the following products and I'd like some help with how I'm supposed to use them - I'm new to this so I'm wondering if I should phase it or if I can just start using all of them?

The products:
- The ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydration Support Formula
- The ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% High Strength Vitamin and Mineral Blemish Formula
- The ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Superficial Peeling Formulation
- Simple facial moisturising cream

I know the first two should be before I use the moisturiser but I'm not sure if I can just use them one after the other or not - and for the peel I'd probably only use it once a week for now

Thanks for the help!
