Sadly didn’t think to take a picture before the rain started, but does anyone happen to know what kind of animal does little curled poops? We’ve got something in our garden leaving 10p size presents all over our decking that look just like the poo emoji, totally curled up smooth symmetrical poop, and my Google searches are starting to get a little unhinged trying to work it out….

I’m guessing hedgehog. One left on our step years ago and I sat down and put my hand on it. 🤢
 
I was at a cafe and I had an oat latte. After I'd finished mine , someone took their drink back saying their drink was off and the staff made them another drink, which was an oat latte. I'm hoping they originally had a soya latte , but my drink wasn't that nice either
Anyone know what happens if you drink plant based milk that is off?

Haven't drunk plant based milk but I'd say if you are still feeling fine after 6/8 hours then I wouldn't worry, usually if there's anything wrong with food or drink it's a few hours later you feel it, were they certain it was off though? Could it have been maybe a different brand of milk that tasted differently so you both thought it was off?, I know you said the staff made another but most places will do that for you if you take it back

It wasn't minging, it just wasn't that nice. A lot of people seem to overheat the milk and almost burn it, it tasted a bit like that. I don't even know if the drink she had complained about was the same as what I had, she was trying to be discreet, and I was trying to heat what she was saying. I'm just panicking myself.

I drank some that was off and I was fine

Have you had the same drink in the cafe before to compare? I find some brands of oat milk are very bitter!

I’m thinking about buying a walking pad. I JUST get 5K steps in a day due to driving to work, having an office job & by the time I get home, cook dinner ( I live alone), meal prep for the next day, do my skin care etc, getting out & doing an hours walk in the cold (live in the UK) is the last thing I want to do.

I’ve seen one on Amazon for £140. I have a £50 vouchers I’ve got from work I can use.

Sooo should I get one?

We have one, my mum wanted it, used it maybe twice then got fed up 😅 however I use it daily, they can be quite heavy so best to find a place for it that you will be happy with, we have ours in the spare room with the small TV, there's so many walking vlogs on yt that I love to put on an walk with, the only downside is sometimes I like to do a light jog but they don't go fast enough for it

I bought a foldable one earlier this year. I think it's great! It goes up to 10km/h speed wise I think which is a jog for me (I'm not particularly fit and appear to be terribly uncoordinated though).

Long story short a couple of weeks ago I had an argument with someone and kicked them out of my house. They left their ear stretchers here.
How long do I keep them before I throw them? They've not messaged re collecting them and I don't have their address to drop them off or post.
I don't really want to message them to arrange collection either

Do you know anyone who knows them?

I think you need to message them or contact someway an then its 28 days you need to give before you can get rid of them, but you need to make sure you have given them reasonable times to collect, like you are going to be in at such an such a time on certain days, it can't be when your out or times they can't manage, if they don't message back it's not your problem but do keep the message saved of you sending them that they have 28 days to either come an collect or have someone collect them

Until then I think you are liable for them

Does anyone know any clever tips for making super scuffed/chipped car alloys look a little better? I'm trading my car in so want it to look as good as possible to get the maximum value for it, I now regret all the earlier years of liking to get too close to curbs while parking 😅
 
The only way is getting re-powder coated or if they’re diamond cut, a polish. Some places do offers for all 4 wheels, you’re looking at probably £200+ depending on size / powder coated or diamond cut.
