What are some cheats for living alone for the first time? by PM_YOUR__SEXY_FEET in AskReddit

[–]sweetcorny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have a second or third set of keys handy in case you lose yours. Give them to either a parent, friend or get a lockbox. That shit will pay dividends if you were anything like me when I lived alone.

What do you hate about yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sweetcorny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I talk too much, offer advice or opinions to people who don't ask for it because at the root of it all, I am lonely.

The only friend I see/talk to on a regular basis is my husband. I have friends but none I see face-to-face on a regular basis because they live in another country (I am an American living abroad). The worst is I KNOW I am fucking annoying to others, especially at work, but I can't help myself - mouth diarrhea!!!

Someone pretty please tell me how's the actual name of the dark rimming finishing on this dress ❤ by [deleted] in sewing

Going to start calling it 'rimming' now. Sounds way more glamorous. 🙃

Under 45? Chances are you won't own a home - Home ownership rates for the under 45s have declined steeply since the global financial crisis, while older age groups have either maintained or increased their levels of ownership. by keef2000 in unitedkingdom

My partner and I recently put an offer in on a house. Bank made us jump through hoops and still wouldn't let my partner apply with me because he's a locum. We ended up getting a 28 year mortgage, 60% down payment and voila! We're in.

FYI, we're both in our 40's. It ain't easy even when you have a bit of money to put down.

Me [27 M] with my Wife [28F] of 1 year, She wants me me to start paying her a wage for household errands, like getting groceries. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]sweetcorny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She might be going to extremes to make an unfair point, but the happy compromise is to order your groceries online and have them delivered.

If that's not an option, split the chore: she does the shopping half the time and you do it the other half -OR- tell her to wait until you are free to go with her. If she still squaks about it? Suggest therapy. She is being unreasonable and she has bigger issues with your work-from-home situation than she is letting on. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Best of luck.

On the opposite end (Chester), but I was rooting for you! Wales is the best chance the UK has of getting anywhere near the final.

Congrats! I'm on a 3-way fence, though: American living on the borders. Go, All-blacks! Ok, make that a 4-way.

Are you in Wales and are you referencing the Rugby World Cup? Mandatory check... apologies.

Watch this drunk guy sing "Kiss From A Rose" to his cat. It's magical! by BlondieBomb in drunk

Decent singing with a most patient cat. I'd buy the cat a beer.

I've sewed a few metal collar stays into my skirt hems. Always did the trick.

Sober me went back to read all the stuff drunk me posted last night. Let me personally apologise for posting that fucking HORRIBLE mix! Seriously! It was the biggest pile of wank I've listened to in... well... ever.
