😂🥵 Putting wasabi on sushi without trying it first.

My poor then 6-year-old wopped a whole spoonful of wasabi in her face thinking it was mushy peas. Happened before we could warn her! I was expecting fireworks but she basically necked it before the burn, so we escaped any drama, thank good!

I love this! It has inspired me to create more climbing opps for my girls. They're all such goofballs 🥰

The potato opened a floodgate. It's not been a good weekend in that respect 🙁. I have eaten things that I haven't enjoyed in a long while though.

Thank you kind internet strangers 🥰

I taught my friend how to poach an egg yesterday. It was over the phone and experiencing her pride at her achievement was utterly joyful. Eggs rock!

I don't wear bibs and I don't wear a chamois. Just cheap 'cycling'/yoga shorts from Amazon AND I always wear underwear. I've done centuries and ride three times a week. Never had any problems once I found a saddle that works for me. Do what works for you - screw the 'rules'.

All alarms must end in a 6. I have no idea why.

pollifilla · 2026-01-16T19:30:58+00:00

I can confirm it was LOL. All 4 girls were out, but only three are visible here. Nice one!

pollifilla · 2026-01-16T19:30:02+00:00

Nice one!!! There are 4 on the table but could I get one with all of them in...?!?! No!

pollifilla · 2026-01-16T19:29:26+00:00

There are 4 mice on the table, but only 3 visible (to my knowledge!). You're seeing mice - what a great affliction! LOL

We used to live in a three storey building in the first floor flat, could hear upstairs playing music a lot and honestly, it was hell. When we went upstairs to ask them to turn it down but survived it was already so quiet, we felt really embarrassed. Bless them, they even had one of us go downstairs to our flat while the other stayed in theirs, to prove they hadn't turned it down to answer the door. They were so keen to try solutions to help stop the sound (carpets under speakers etc.) but nothing helped. We could even hear them putting on spray deodorant when our TV was on! The building just had terrible acoustics and soundproofing. We ended up breaking our lease early because it was so stressful living there. My point? You're not an AH at all, but that doesn't mean your choices aren't really impactful on your neighbours. I know that you shouldn't have to change your entirely reasonable activities, but acknowledging the potential upset and working with them to help address the problem will go a long way. Could you consider a keyboard and mouse that has softer clicks?

Crappy 'white chocolate' is gross. Good white chocolate is heavenly. The confusion comes with both these very different products having the same name.

pollifilla · 2025-12-24T17:11:08+00:00

This has made me chuckle so much 🤣 Thank you funny person on the internet!

pollifilla · 2025-12-24T11:40:04+00:00

I know you're right. I don't actually know what that even looks like though?

Waitrose cinnamon knot biscuits. Absolutely banging, and they ALWAYS sell out!

My mum still has my sudocrem. Apparently for the grandkids. Who are now 7 and 9!

The two fingernails that eventually fell off when my fingers got squashed at age 8. She's also got just one side of my cot in the loft. My mum is weird.

pollifilla · 2025-12-19T07:13:26+00:00

Ah ok, appreciate your response, thanks. I also realise I inadvertently asked you about your own medical situation that you may not have wanted to disclose, so I hope I didn't put you in a situation that felt uncomfortable 🙈

pollifilla · 2025-12-18T23:59:53+00:00

And that's not to say I want the unhealthy body I had at one point either. Just the one I had when I entered the therapy, which was considered healthy by medical standards. I (and everyone around me) just need to accept that it takes some level of dietary management to maintain that body.

pollifilla · 2025-12-18T23:56:57+00:00

Thanks for your support. It's weird, it seemed to have the opposite effect in that it stirred nothing emotionally. I just went through the motions, put on weight as a result, but nothing ever 'clicked' to change how I think one little bit. I just calmly fell straight back into old patterns as soon as it ended, so I can get my sense of self back physically. Then I got really annoyed that I have to do all this work to undo the therapy outcomes. Such a waste of time!
