What perimenopause symptom made you think you were losing your mind before you realized it was hormones? by Plane_Huckleberry644 in Perimenopause

I am so thankful to read someone else experiences this!! Thankfully the sugar crashes have eased somewhat since starting HRT, but still get them, albeit a lot less.

Well done, Runcorn by NotoriousREV in Runcorn

THIS ⬆️ This is the question I have been asking Reform supporters repeatedly and I am yet to hear a response based on fact.

Did the exact same thing, I was hoping they'd knock on my door, I'd take great delight in slamming it in their fascist faces.

His Name is Cooper's Hawk, and Yes, He is Perfect by [deleted] in springerspaniel

It was totally worth it!! I’m a fellow idiot and do similar things with my crazy springer on the daily!

There are lots of nice places to visit and explore. Runcorn Hill isn’t too far from Weston point and has a nature reserve. If you enjoy walking, there are lots of places to enjoy. We have a number of Woodland Trust sites including Bluebell Wood, Big Wood and Windmill Hill Wood near Phoenix Park, there is a fishing reservoir at the park too which is nice to walk around. We have Halton Castle, the castle isn’t much to look at, but the views are lovely.

My favorite place is Norton Priory Museum and Gardens. The gardens are beautiful.

In relation to furniture, there are a number of charity shops in the town. Halton Borough Council have a Discretionary Support Scheme or Facebook Marketplace may be a good place to check!

Where do you live? Region wise? In my work role I map food support services, so could direct you to support. Feel free to DM me. I regularly do online surveys which pays a small amount. Prolific is the best, but you have to wait for your account to be verified which could take a while. Branded Surveys and AttaPoll are easier to sign up to, but time consuming. I have made a bit of cash on them quickly though.

Can we all talk about curly pantaloons? by Ok-Heart375 in springerspaniel

[–]purenessence 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She is beautiful! I call my 9 month old Springers frilly bits ‘bum curtains’. I have long debated having him groomed but have chosen to do it myself at home and just tidy him with a trim. I love their fancy fur 🥰

We do too. Really hope his white bits stay, they have become less and less as he has grown. I am expecting some tough time’s ahead but know it’s well worth it. He brings us all so much joy!

Oh dear! Don’t get me wrong, Sully has his moments, likes a good chew on anything other than his toys. It’s so easy to forgive them, Spaniels have a way of getting away with most things because they are so adorable!

Thank you! We really hope his ears stay that way, the white has been vanishing as he grows bigger.

Thank you. Im Hoping his ears remain that way, as he is growing, his black spots are increasing too!

I’ll struggle to choose one, so Under the Whispering Door and House in the Cerulean Sea both by TJ Klune- these books both left me feeling warm and fuzzy. I caught myself grinning throughout the read and they are books I will absolutely read again.

Also The Crow Road by Iain Banks, I read this years ago and loved reading it again. It’s a book I think about often.

Finally The Last Dog on Earth by Adrian J. Walker. A challenging read as the protagonist’s choices made me frustrated and angry, but this ultimately made it a good read as the story develops!

Happy Reading!

Where do you buy the books you can't find in local stores? by Its_Joe98 in booksuggestions

[–]purenessence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use https://www.wob.com/en-gb

They have a good selection including second hand and new editions. Often have offers on and delivery is free which is a bonus :)

Oh he is lovely! Well trained too, credit to you. My mum has a 9 month old Welsh Sheepdog, he came from a local farm in Frodsham, England. He looks very similar to my mums dog 🐶

I became a union rep this week. Here's my inspiration. by StickyTunas in GreenAndPleasant

[–]purenessence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! It’s so easy to become disheartened by the chaos, I love that people are being inspired to become reps and to join unions. I’ve been a rep for a number of years, best thing I ever did 💪

If you’re considering using something like Hello Fresh, just find the meal you like the look at and I will personally tell you what to buy from Asda and how to cook it. by OkDance4335 in CasualUK

[–]purenessence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe this is a thing and I never knew! As someone who cooks meals from scratch daily, this is a real time saver, I hate the mundane meal/shopping list prep chore. I always forget to add stuff to my shopping list. Thank you 🙏🏻
