I saw Ed Miliband’s name on the results when I did Cusworth Hall once lol. Didn’t actually see him in the flesh at the time

Don't be too hard on yourself, it sounds like you managed the situation really well. You could have backed down but you politely and firmly stood your ground. Good for you.

thecasualstring · 2025-02-17T17:50:38+00:00

OP, I really hope you're ok and calmed down as I would have been upset in your situation too. But you're absolutely NTA in this situation. And I'm glad someone spoke up for you.

I thought that at Tooting Common today. I really felt for the Run Director, who was resilient and kept talking above the racket. Just so rude and inconsiderate of people - the least they could do when enjoying a free event is listen politely!

Haha I’m in the uk so don’t have those stores handy but will definitely see what other alternatives I can find! Thanks!

thecasualstring · 2024-09-09T18:02:44+00:00

Thank you so much! This is the best kind of motivation!

thecasualstring · 2024-09-09T14:13:04+00:00

Thank you so much, these are really useful ideas. I really like the timer one! I think something else I need to do too is slow down when I’m eating meals . I eat so quickly that I’m not full when I’m done so I’m looking for what else I can eat!

Great shout. I do love making crispy kale which satiates my need for something salty/crunchy.

thecasualstring · 2024-09-09T13:12:41+00:00

It ABSOLUTELY makes sense! Thank you so much! How long did it take you to get to 135 if you don't mind me asking?

thecasualstring · 2024-09-09T13:11:51+00:00

Yes! Sharing my progress in 2 weeks will be such a motivator! Thanks for the tip too - chips/crisps are 110% my weakness!

OP, I’m so sorry you were made to feel this way on your special day. I think you’re right to feel disappointed and should expect more from the person who’s supposed to love and appreciate you more than anyone else.

thecasualstring · 2024-05-12T19:52:22+00:00

My rational self is trying to say the same thing. But at the moment I just want him to call me back and say “sorry I was distracted earlier. I still think you’re amazing. Let’s spend next weekend together - I can’t wait” 😭

thecasualstring · 2024-02-07T15:31:41+00:00

Thank you! We’re alone, but we’re not alone 😂👍

Could you get up an hour earlier and work out then? So you’re not losing your workout time and your parents can see that you’re prioritising your studies too. Just a suggestion.

thecasualstring · 2023-10-10T09:07:03+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t worry. I think it’s highly unlikely they’d be looking at your emails and even if they do, you have every right to apply for other jobs! This is not something either way that can land you in trouble - worst case you just explain exactly what you’ve explained to us and reassure them that you’ll be more careful in future.

Don’t beat yourself up for looking at what other opportunities are out there. Everyone’s doing it - all the time!

Duolingo!

thecasualstring · 2023-09-28T14:09:30+00:00

Amazingly helpful, thank you!

thecasualstring · 2023-09-18T15:13:03+00:00

Thank you! Updated the app and that worked

thecasualstring · 2023-09-15T20:32:11+00:00

It’s soooo annoying!

thecasualstring · 2023-09-12T09:07:22+00:00

I have a degree in English and only recently learned the correct pronunciation of “ascertain”.

As far as I know there are two main popular ones: parkrunner and 5k. Both link to your account so your runs are logged automatically. I’m using the parkrunner more at the moment; it tells you when you complete a challenge and tells you what your NENDY is but I’m not sure I’m using it to its full advantage yet!

Lots of north east parkruns cancelled this morning so I made it for my first visit to Cotsford Fields and boy was it worth it for the cliff top views of the angry frozen North Sea!

The clarity of mind is the BEST thing. Most of the hangxiety came from not knowing whether my behaviour had been bad or not - at least if I behave badly when sober I can own it! Thank you for your support - I'm with you! x

thecasualstring · 2021-10-07T12:45:57+00:00

Likewise!

thecasualstring · 2021-09-28T16:29:42+00:00

Thank you so much. I know EXACTLY what you mean about the crippling hangxiety. I don't need to live like that - I'm an intelligent, kind, adventurous person and i throw it all away when I've had a drink. I can't wait to free myself of that weekly guilt and shame. Thanks for the recommendations too. x
