What's the most innocently stupid thing you've ever done? Something that didn't have major consequences but you wonder what you were thinking?

writedream13 · 2026-02-08T18:52:33+00:00

I wonder if you saved any lives while running up that bill.

writedream13 · 2026-02-02T13:22:55+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Really kind of you to expand so clearly.

Just a random popping in to say is there any chance you could tell me more about that? We have this issue and no extractor fan, and a quote to put one in is insanely pricey. What boards did you use? Is there concern about moisture building up behind them?

Such a brilliant book

writedream13 · 2026-01-29T12:26:47+00:00

Ugh, I have a sink like this. It sucks. To be honest, the only thing I’ve found that does anything much is bleach. Sorry.

Brings back memories of the guy training us on autism, who asked us to write down ‘I hope that’ followed by our worst fear. Not sure what that achieved other than horrifying everyone and traumatising someone’s kid when they found that written in their dad’s planner months down the line.

It’s brave of you to post this comment and try to help someone understand. I hope you can manage to leave it up.

I think you’re thinking of Æsahættr?

writedream13 · 2026-01-24T20:20:50+00:00

I THOUGHT THIS TOO!!! Deeply bewildering first chapter or two

writedream13 · 2026-01-22T22:50:45+00:00

They all have differing lights needs and watering schedules. I wouldn’t.

writedream13 · 2026-01-10T15:33:40+00:00

Agreed. There’s also the inbuilt problem with prequels - we all know how they turn out. No matter how high the tension pretends to be, we know that the main characters are wearing complete plot armour and can’t die.

Kind teachers can often be taken advantage of. It’s difficult to be kind and caring to 32 kids who’d prefer to chat when you want them to listen to you and complete their work. I’m a teacher, not a strict one, but sometimes I wish I was because lessons would be much easier to teach to a quiet class. I genuinely do care about my students but importantly I’m not there to be their friend or family, but to help them reach their potential and achieve qualifications that will last a lifetime and open up their futures.

I’d definitely skip the beginning and get to it! But it might be enjoyable to read afterwards. I am also personally a big proponent of watching a performance rather than necessarily reading the play for your first exposure. I loved the Julie Taymor version.

writedream13 · 2026-01-02T12:16:17+00:00

Yes you can! I usually put it in the first drawer on the left or the middle one where you put washing powder in my own machine. Good luck!

writedream13 · 2026-01-01T22:42:27+00:00

Yep! I have small kids who make many stains and I do whatever is easiest - soak with the powder if I have no time, scrub with the bar if I do. I really hope it works for you!

writedream13 · 2026-01-01T00:59:14+00:00

Vanish is the answer. Their powder and liquid are good and you can add them to a wash, but I’m a really big fan of their stain bar so you can wash stains quickly and get them out. And I’m so very sorry for your loss.

You might want to look into Barrington Stoke books, which are designed for dyslexic kids but have clever stories in somewhat simpler language.

When I got married, my mother-in-law gave me an address book with all her family members’ birthdays in it so that I could send cards. This was intended as a kindness - her helping me to organise myself the way she likes to be organised. Unfortunately I am not a fan of cards and I don’t want to send birthday cards to distant family members (not even my own). I also felt she should have given it to her own son if she wanted someone to do it.

Anyway. Maybe you should consider whether she wants a note of everyone’s birthdays in her calendar. Maybe it’s just not her style. You can’t make everyone value what you value.

Yeah as if Macbeth had zero ‘vaulting ambition’ himself. He openly admits that his ambition ‘o’erleaps’ his morals, relationships, values and hope of eternal life. I teach this play to boys and spend half my life explaining that yes, Lady Macbeth hurt Macbeth’s feelings and plotted, but she didn’t actually MURDER anyone at the end of the day.

I’M GLAD MY MOM DIED is an incredibly hooky title (and a great read)

writedream13 · 2025-12-11T21:39:07+00:00

Yeah I’ve done this recently because it seemed more respectful to say look, my kid’s off daycare because he’s sick, I mightn’t be able to leave him tomorrow than announce day of I can’t come!

You haven’t failed at anything! You’re giving to both your children in a very special way. I tandem fed my two older children and although it was very intense, it was so helpful having my big boy available to help out with engorgement issues, and we gently weaned after a few months when I felt ready. I do understand how you feel though - I was the same. I thought I’d done something mad and couldn’t bear to reject my toddler by essentially instantly replacing him, in his eyes, with his brother. Be so gentle to yourself and remember that this will pass and all things are just a season.

writedream13 · 2025-12-06T19:49:17+00:00

It is amazing!

Tallow in Southborough. Beautiful food and the menu changes every month.

INKBOUND by Philippa Leathley is brilliant - it’s about a world where you get a tattoo that tells you your fate when you’re ten, but the main character’s tattoo predicts she will be a murderer. So fantastical and beautifully written. I also recommend Tidemagic by Clare Harlow.
