I did exactly the same and I'm not visually impaired. Easily done.

I find that if I wait for ages before I dry it then that's when it happens or, even worse, if I keep it in a towel for too long

"Family" as a euphemism for having children. I've never wanted biological children and while I'm in the process of adoption now, the addition of a child will not magically create a "family" where there was none before

Wishing you all the best with your adoption. Far more meaningful than popping out your own I think (and I have on). I totally agree with you. I also second the notion that 'family' isn't also just people you are biologically related to. I cannot bear my own sister and she is not my family, but my best friend is my sister as far as I'm concerned. Our relationship is more loving, meaningful and unconditional than anyone I share DNA with. Family is who you choose to call as such in my book.

Thank you so much! I've been very lucky to find a partner who agreed with me on this and I think you're quite right, chosen family can be as meaningful or more than blood family

Leaving aside the debate about whether or not clothing brands could ever be truly sustainable... ZARA!? Really? Zara!?

Not having enough space when I’m trying to put something down. Really pisses me off.

People who come to meetings in work, uninformed and ill-prepared.

I have to our London office for a few weeks in a couple of months and I had to sit through some brexit voting IDIOT gleefully telling me that I need to make sure as an 'EU migrant worker' I need to get a visa through our UK office, I need a letter from my office, I can't "just stay in the UK forever" blah blah blah.

The problem with his rant? I'm Irish. My office that has to 'sort out a visa' is in Dublin. I couldn't get a word in edgeways to try and explain this, so at the end of his semi-racist rantings (he mentioned "EU migrants coming to the UK to steal benefits and now they can't do that no more") I had to say to him, "Whilst yes, I'm still an EU citizen, I don't need a visa to come to the UK. I don't need any permissions, I could come tomorrow if I wanted to. Look up the common travel area". I was tempted to make a joke out of Irish citizens being legally entitled to British benefits, but I resisted the temptation (also irish dole is way more than universal credit, you'd be a fool to do that lmao)

When it's raining and your window wipers seem to slow on the first setting, but if you put them on the next setting they're too quick. There's no inbetween.

You should always take a probiotic with/after a course of antibiotics because they strip your gut of all their good bacteria in the process. You can buy a cheap course designed for dual/post antibiotic use. Optibac is one. You can take them with antibiotics but need to leave a good few hours between. So if you take your antibiotic in the morning, take your prebiotic mid afternoon/evening or vice versa.

I always have an earworm and they can last for years at a time, mostly its a week or two or they go for a few mths and then came back and push out the new earworm
Drives me mad when people say "and today's ear worm is" I so wish it was a different song every day.

Antibiotics made me really ill and gave me a leaky gut that almost killed me (well the medical profession did) always have to get gut health back to normal after taking those things not that Drs tell you this.

Thankyou for that, will pop out if I can muster the energy to get some probiotics. The chemist did suggest them but I stupidly said no because I thought I’d be fine

I agree with you .I think it’s outdated and unnecessary.Oh and that’s coming from a sahm ,I live off my partners wages and do everything around the house .Definitely not a feminist over here

Total first world problem ,but it rivals packing your shopping at aldi .
when your grocery delivery driver is bringing the crates up to your doorstop and your frantically trying to get everything out of them and into your house as quickly as you can before they return with the next crate cos you don’t want them stood there like a lemon while you bend down and pick up every bloody individual item cos nothings bagged .Sweating and panting by the last load cos your so unfit .Crawling about on your porch floor after a tin of rogue beans and lobbing your loo roll up the stairs cos you’ve ran out of space .
