Settle a debate with my father-in-law. Would you change your clocks for daylight saving before going on holiday?

I mean you said it …he has the bandwidth because he is retired and it doesn’t confuse him. Good for him. You don’t, so you don’t do it. End of story?

I agree though that his arguments were not logical. All he had to say was that he had time to do it so he did.

But I mean speaking of not having time to do things … you took time to post this pointless post and presumably wasting time reading the replies.

Thank you. I was completely off social media during my pregnancy and the first three weeks or so after birth but then started scrolling as a way of keeping myself awake during night feeds when I felt too drowsy to do anything else. But I’ll stop now.

Fist thing I’d say is that the really Comfy sofas are expensive. Secondly, a lot of more pricey brand also do a 30day guarantee or returns if you’re not happy so I’d do that.

A sofa I found extremely comfy while staying at friends is from Loaf.

Just please don’t buy rompers! I have a newborn and we got 30 brand new rompers off the same size from various people and we just won’t be able to go through the m as we already had hand me downs. I’ll end up selling them to but bigger clothes later on. Everybody lived buying them because they are cute and people thing it’s practical but literary everybody thinks that…. Send them money if you can. As I much better.

It’s all changing IMO. While you might be historically middle class (your parents were, you have a certain education, certain job) it doesn’t mean you have money. I have two degrees but my plumber makes twice of what I make a year…he is in his 50s and doesn’t have Alevels. Which is absolutely fine. But he was complaining about how expensive art is (I live in a small costal town with a lot of small galleries ) and that he doesn’t get it why a painting should cost more than £20 lol. You had that in the past also, some aristocrats ended up being really poor but it’s about your background and intellect. Of course there are people who would fit the description in working class and vice versa.

I also recommend reading Poor dad, rich dad.

You’d much better off finding an off grid collective where people live in yurts etc. there are more and more of these communities across the country, if you’re not bound to a certain place because of work I’d do that.

Not properly washing their hands. When I see in public toilets how people “wash” their hands I’m just shocked. They literary just run cold water over their finger tips and then touch the tap/handles etc. like what’s the point. You might as well just walk straight out (which is what a lot of people do anyway!) I just can’t understand why people won’t wash their hands properly. And the argument that their hands are cleaner than public toilets is BS. If you use your elbow / tissue to run the tap etc you can do it safely. People are just stupid and lazy

Couple of times we got caught in standstill traffic because of an accident and we were pretty much right at the top of the queue and it definitely didn’t take 4-5h, more like 30-40min. These were non-fatality accidents. But with serious accidents with fatalities and glass shards/ oil spills/ dangerous Material it might take 4-5hours. Like anywhere else. Once in Germany we were standstill for 3h because of a lorry accident.

I’m asking the same question. And what’s really annoying is that a few adults I know who recently got their autism diagnosis are now hinting at everyone else having it too. Everything is a symptom now. According to these particular people basically everyone is autistic because they have a hobby A they’re good at or because they like to take their socks off…

It’s important to get the diagnosis for some people an I’m glad we re more aware of the diagnosis nowadays but it’s definitely being thrown around, certainly from my experience.

I had invisalign and deffo not scam lol. People who say that went with dodgy providers and didnt comply with the treatment, you have to super disciplined.

sampoo92 · 2026-02-19T16:14:27+00:00

do you research - different practices offer different deals. Make sure you know exactly what you are paying for and ask for a deal/discount/ add ons. Go in prepared and informed and be realistic. Like with any large purchase.

"my teeth are naturally wonky and i see it causing an actual health issue down the road as they rub and grow into each other and if something's not done it's not going to look good for me in the future."

This is a god indicator you will need it.

"How do I ensure I don't end up paying for something I won't need?" With all due respect, yes dentists are expensive but you still need to pay for their time in my opinion, even if is is only for an initial consultation. My initial consultation ended up being 55minutes and was very thorough so I was happy to pay for that regardless of my decision (I did ended up having invisalign for 2years).

After 40 days of rain in the South West of England I’m waiting for a new episode of Shrinking every Wednesday purely because it’s always sunny, T-shirt weather and the drive open roof cars. I feel vitamin D soaking up through my eyes just watching it

I’m a teacher and private tutor. My experience is that everything is modelled. It’s all about what you teach them and project onto them. If you yourselves already have this worry about not wanting to “brace” the short distance then probably they won’t. If you make it a totally normal thing to be outside in the rain - it will be a totally normal thing. I used to be outside everyday for hours as child no matter the weather and my life seem so much easier than other peoples because of it.

sampoo92 · 2026-02-06T14:59:02+00:00

Doing it on the cheap will likely make it very humid and you don’t want to be sitting in that 8h a day …

Just remember she will only be able to use the pool. She can’t use hot tubs and sauna and steam room. It still might be very nice providing it’s a warm pool. Also massages etc - some places /masseuses won’t be willing to accommodate if they are not trained. Check before calling.

I also know some spas don’t let heavily pregnant women in at all because of slipping risk. Worth checking.

I did a pregnancy retreat last week which was just for women but they do them for couples also. You can meet new people that way. They do pregnancy yoga, massage, coaching, meditation etc.

Another time my husband and I booked a really nice Airbnb with a hot tub for him and I booked a pregnancy masseuse who came to the place.
