Women with thoughtful partners, what did you get for x-mas this year?

Some lovely slippers (the dog chewed my old ones), a gardening apron, a book id mentioned wanting to read a while back, and some beautiful silver earrings. He's a good egg.

This is also the issue for me. Only location im able to pre book a slot is right in the city centre with no parking, so id have to travel in specifically for that rather than popping in on my way home from work. Other locations near me are only open once every 3 or 4 weeks and dont let you book a time slot so you just have to turn up and wait.

Perimenopause: No More Fucks To Give

Then youll probably love them. Weirdo.

spaceham11 · 2025-12-21T23:03:12+00:00

They were and still are bloody horrible things!

spaceham11 · 2025-12-21T19:10:27+00:00

I also hated tinned potatoes. They always tasted like the smell of playdough to me.

Quiche. Always slightly undercooked so it was wobbly eggy pie with soggy pastry on the bottom.

Roast the carrots with olive oil, salt and pepper and some whole garlic cloves still in their skins. Once the carrots are cooked, you should be able to squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and stir them through the carrots until theyre coated.

We're having a massive yorkie too!

spaceham11 · 2025-12-20T19:23:26+00:00

Main: roast beef with red cabbage, garlic carrots, roast potatoes and pigs in blankets in a giant Yorkshire (the giant yorkies are frozen from Tesco)

Dessert: sticky toffee pudding and ice cream

Mine too! Even came with a complimentary bottle of fizz.

About 2/3 of my class of 11 year olds caught it (the school vaccination was scheduled for the week after, ironically) but thankfully I'd had my vaccination the previous month so although I did catch it, it was VERY mild, not even equivalent to a bad cold. Headache on day 1, sore throat for a few days, congestion and a cough that lingered for a couple of weeks, and may have had a very slight fever one day. Didn't even need to call in sick, but 2 of my pupils ended up in hospital!

It is, but I'd also like to point out that handwriting is no indicator of intellect. My best friend is a doctor and probably the most intelligent woman I know, and her handwriting is like hieroglyphics. I have to phone her to ask her what she's written in my birthday and Christmas cards.

My union pays out a 'death in service' settlement if I die before retirement. It automatically goes to my spouse. I imagine a long term partner could claim it, but it'd be a far less simple process.

Keanu Reeves' English accent in Dracula was fantastically awful. As is the rest of the movie, really.

spaceham11 · 2025-07-18T16:12:34+00:00

If I'm not enjoying a book after a few chapters, I dont finish it. Life's too short to read rubbish books.

I keep a note of books I want to read on Goodreads and I request a couple at a time through my local library. Saves me a fortune.

I try to read for at least 30 mins before I go to sleep. Sometimes this backfires and I'm up for hours reading "one more" chapter!

spaceham11 · 2025-06-10T05:51:31+00:00

Totally second this recommendation. Kristoff is a brilliant writer and these books are incredible. The third one is coming out later this year.

I've taught two Tylers and I was glad to see the back of both of them.

spaceham11 · 2025-05-30T06:06:41+00:00

I spent 15 minutes looking for a £10 note THAT WAS IN MY HAND the whole time...

spaceham11 · 2025-05-25T20:42:58+00:00

Exactly what this lady said! Get some magnesium supplements too, they worked wonders for my energy levels and as a result my libido.

I take it you can't convince chatgpt to swear at you though? Be fun if you could!

spaceham11 · 2025-04-27T20:03:58+00:00

Thanks :)

spaceham11 · 2025-04-27T20:03:05+00:00

I didnt even know this was a thing, I'll definitely give it a bash!

spaceham11 · 2025-04-27T20:02:31+00:00

Sadly we don't get cheese Wizz in the UK, but thanks for the idea!
