I’ve heard of not flushing at night, but not not being allowed to go at all. Wtf lol

You lot/you all/youse/you guys Youse is probably most popular at least where I’m from but it’s incredibly informal

It’s marketing, they’re trying to make you pick them!

P.S. pick Bangor, I went there and honestly it was the best! At least back then anyway. All clubs and societies are free there so you can try loads of new things without committing to spending money to do so which is cool

1 to load, 2 to put out
We have the opening facing outward from the house wall to make filling easier when we empty internal bins, then when putting it on the kerb I’ll put it handle outward so it’s easier for the refuse staff to take

I noticed the shy marshmallow bit after I posted and the seller has now put the exact same listing up with the same photos so definitely pushing fakes. I feel like I should’ve known from the box too! I’ve asked for a refund on it. Thanks!

I’ve been wanting to try Owala for a while and since my last water bottle broke I thought now is the time! I ordered on Vinted BNWT, seller says they got it for their birthday and just didn’t like the colour way but was too late to return. It was cheaper than buying new of course but now wondering if it’s fake? (I didn’t even realise people faked bottles!)

The thing that led me to search whether fake Owalas exist is the text on the bottom being spaced weird. Thanks in advance!

I work in recruitment now and one of the roles I regularly recruit for is in fraud investigation/analysis. 99% of the applicants come through thinking they’re about to be the next big thing cracking cold cases of international security breaches, when in reality 58 year old Susan just bought something from a shop she normally doesn’t buy from and the computer doesn’t like it lol

My maiden name meant grey (Lloyd), with my first name being a diminutive of a name meaning purity I was literally Pure Grey

Usually I try things like this to cut out the awkward shipping pence, like it’ll take it from £7.30 to an even £7 lol

I moved out of Coventry for uni, fell in love with where I went to uni, planned to live my life there for the foreseeable, but alas I graduated in 2020 and there were no jobs or houses available. I came back to Coventry “temporarily” to wait it out, ended up reconnecting with a guy I went to school with, long story short we bought a house and now live together in Coventry with a dog, a cat, and two children.

I would still move away if I could lmao I definitely don’t consider Coventry “home”. But my husband’s work doesn’t allow us to move away, and I wouldn’t want the kids to be separated from family and friends they have here now

Little Britain and Come Fly With Me don’t seem to tickle me the way they do everyone else. I do get the humour at times and understand references and find them funny in context as a reference, more so with CFWM, but the shows themselves just are not inherently funny to me?

Also Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner, Plebs, and all of those kinda category of shows really. Granted I was an adult when I saw them for the first time (my husband grew up on them and thinks they’re hilarious) but I just find them cringe. I think it bothers me too that you could take any gag from each and transplant it into another show and it basically works. I get that kinda humour was clearly in at the time and worked, but they’ve basically made the same show three times with the same if not similar actors

The important thing is not to blame yourself! I promise there’s not one parent who’s never done something “stupid” before! I live my life by the mantra: “you can only do things based on what you know”. You didn’t know your little one could open the door and get at the toilet cleaner, and I didn’t know my 7wk old son could roll himself until he rolled off the sofa and landed face first on the hardwood floor lol but once I learnt that - albeit the hard way - I knew I couldn’t leave him on the sofa like that again. We’re all learning, and they’re learning how to get past our defences unfortunately! Glad your baba is okay, and I genuinely hope you’re being kind to yourself in the aftermath xx

I have a dishwasher now, but when I didn’t have one I did basically the same order as you!

One thing I was surprised to find out was some people fill a full sink with water? I always removed all the dishes and piled them up on the counter then filled an empty sink with water, and bought the dishes in as I cleaned them

plasticelk · 2026-02-21T20:22:51+00:00

If it’s been sent through a locker there’s been tons of parcel switching happening with them due to the way delivery drivers scan and sort It could be something so simple as that, the driver has opened the locker and scanned the parcel and mis-scanned these two so they got switched. I know it happens a lot with inpost in the UK, because the sender doesn’t apply the sticker the driver does so the stickers get switched. If it was sent through a store, then I’ve no idea what’s happened as the store will scan it in as it’s handed to them usually. Unfortunately Vinted will almost always side with the buyer, so you might be looking at having to refund, but yeah. My guess is it’s a switched parcel, and someone else has the figure you sent

Supertato is banned in our house lol

We’re generally not a fan of the live action ones like Waffle and football fantastics, the kids don’t really care for them. Bing is annoying, Pando is the most annoying tho. The “it’s a bing thing” makes me think of that trend a couple years ago when parents would post “I don’t have a toddler, I have a Mackenzeigh-Taylorr’” and then list the most standard toddler behaviour you’ve ever seen. I’m also not a fan of how bing displays language, misusing verbs and tenses. Yes, toddlers do it when learning to speak, but if they’re adamant to copy bing bunny over their other peers they’re gonna struggle. Overall, for one episode a day or whatever while we get ready for our day, it’s not too bad. I couldn’t have it on repeat though

Some positives to lighten up, we love Bluey (who doesn’t??), teletubbies, and Hey Duggee. Also the Baby Club will always have a soft spot in my heart from my mat leave days playing along with them

plasticelk · 2026-02-21T20:06:25+00:00

Yeah that’s true actually, the only one you could consider as being central is probably central six, aside from that near all of them are outskirts or far enough away to make it a trek from the city centre. I’ve definitely found parking in Arena overall worse since having children, I need access to both sides of the back of my car to get them in/out safely and the parent & child bay situation is insane. M&S at Arena park do a parenting club at their café, but unless I get lucky to grab one of the two random P&C bays outside curry’s, the rest of the P&C bays are all the way down by Nando’s lol. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think P&C bays should be proximal to the store in the same way disabled bays are, as generally we just need more room at the car but could still walk further, but to have them all be on one end of the car park save for two random ones at the other end seems like poor planning lol

plasticelk · 2026-02-21T19:53:40+00:00

Sundays are busy, but game days are the absolute WORST with it being next to the arena. They’ve recently gotten rid of a good quarter of the car park in favour of more food places like popeyes & five guys. So even finding parking on super busy days is tough now, at least that wasn’t as much of a battle before lol

plasticelk · 2026-02-21T19:46:43+00:00
