Use a biological washing powder to break down the stains (the fats and grease in sweat) with enzymes.Does anyone have any recommendations for getting rid of smell from activewear? Since I started running more all my gym clothes smell awful no matter how much I wash them
Non bio doesn't work in the same way. Dettol and Dylon do wash additives and detergents that may help too.
White vinegar is good for this! I have used it on smelly teenage boys pits on school shirts!Does anyone have any recommendations for getting rid of smell from activewear? Since I started running more all my gym clothes smell awful no matter how much I wash them

I guess this is a random problem, so wondering if anyone can help...
I'm going on my first long haul flight on Tuesday and starting to get really nervous! Do things like Kalms work? Or if anyone has any other recommendations, I'd be v grateful! Thank you
I use the rescue remedy, mainly the spray one but I think they also do gummies as well
Wear loose clothing and layers you can remove/put on. It’s probably a bit late for it but if you can get hold of some Loop earplugs, they are the schizz or you can use headphones with white noise to help block out the plane noise. Also a sleep mask is essential. I usually take a couple of Piriton and as much alcohol as I can lay my hands on but I’m aware that’s not the recommended solution haha.White vinegar is good for this!

I get diazepam from the GP but last time I forgot it and the chemist at Boots gave me Boots Travel Calm tablets. They knocked me for six, it was great.White vinegar is good for this! I have used it on smelly teenage boys pits on school shirts!

If it’s an overnight flight try to get something that will make you sleepy.
I take babywipes, lip balm and a small moisturiser. Comfy clothing that’s warm. Night flights get cold. I wear trainers so they’re easy to take on and off.
Pick a special meal as you get served first and it’s normally nicer food.
I always take bottle of water on the flight as well and tissues
Bio washing powder / liquid. You can get a special "sports one" by Dylon, but normal is fine. I also use Zoflora or Dettol laundry cleanser in the detergent drawer. I think most important is to wash straight away and not let it sit. If I'm not doing a full wash, I often just do the quick 15 minute one with Zoflora so any BO bacteria is rinsed out and then fully wash as normal.Does anyone have any recommendations for getting rid of smell from activewear?

Thank you and the others who responded. I will try that and I have also heard vinegar might be good.
Good shout with washing it asap, it's probably my biggest issue
Any tips on how to bounce back faster from setbacks in life. Everyone I know recovers so fast, they’ll already be in a new relationship or new job quickly even if things ended badly. I’ve read it takes around 36 months to recover from a toxic situation and but I feel like I need to be a bit more mentally stronger.
There is no life hack for stuff like this. We are all built differently. I'm amazing at compartementalizing but it's not necessarily a good thing as it can seem cold and uncaring.
Take as much time as you need. Do some selfcare and build yourself up. You'll know when you are ready to move on and IF you feel you are struggling too much and need help then ask for it.
I agree with lolz, there’s no time line but what I would say is don’t shut yourself down completely until your ready. Sometimes the universe will surprise you. So I wouldn’t get on dating sites if I wasn’t ready but I also wouldn’t avoid social situations or if something arose organically, I’d let it run.
Equally I wouldn’t put myself forward for a promotion but if I were head hunted I’d at least explore the opportunity.
Things will find you when you’re not looking if you’re open to them and the joy of that can make you feel stronger in itself.
Don’t older people get cold? A nice robe or slippers? How about a nice radio maybe?I need to think of a gift for a 95 year old man and I’m absolutely stumped! He can’t read or write anymore, he doesn’t know how to use any tech, he’s not allowed any sweet treats and he’s in a nursing home so can’t give him a gift card as he doesn’t leavehe doesn’t want filler stuff as he says it’s more clutter for others to clear when he dies (cheery I know!) I’m thinking maybe something to make his time there more comfortable/enjoyable, or maybe something to pass the time? Help!
When my dad was in a home, socks, dressing gown, slippers, nice smellies always went down a treat.I need to think of a gift for a 95 year old man and I’m absolutely stumped!

Also biscuits of chocolates they could keep in their room, or share if they are inclined.
Also any clothing (just write his name in it) as laundry isn't the best and things go missing.
Anything that could brighten his room, a framed print stuck up with command hooks, nice ornament etc.
Yes to the above. My husband’s elderly relative got a robe and slippers, nice socks, pyjamas, etc when he was in a home. He never wanted any cluttery bits either and liked a nice warm robe to watch tv in in the mornings.
You've already had some great suggestions, only one I could add is a heated throw, if he doesn't already have one. The one I have automatically switches off after 2 hours which is handy.
What's your budget? What about a foodie type subscription (brownies or something?) that he can look forward to for a few months.I need to think of a gift for a 95 year old man and I’m absolutely stumped!

I’m not sure if this is the right thread but I could do with some advice…
My boyfriend of 6 and a half years (27M) has chosen to spend Christmas and New Year’s with his family in America (we are from the UK). He will be away for 2 weeks. For context, his brother passed away earlier on this year, so I understand the family dont want to be home this year.
My issue is that despite already being away for 2 weeks, he has also booked an extra week there to go on a road trip with one of his friends.
I feel really hurt that despite not seeing me for 2 weeks over Christmas, he’s now made it so that the entire run up to Christmas will be spent apart.
He’s also spent the previous 2 years away for Christmas, and has not invited me. It’s only when I brought it up that he invited me this year, however, due to family issues, I feel like I’m not in the position to leave them this year. He doesn’t believe he is doing anything wrong.
Am I right to feel upset? Or should I cut him some slack due to the circumstances?

It’s ok to feel hurt but he’s not doing anything wrong.
And if you don’t like him being independant in the relationship then you should consider if it’s the right relationship for you.
People are different and there is no wrong or right in this situation. It’s all about perspective.
I’m like your bf and would probably try and make the most of the time I’m away by also going on a roadtrip. Why don’t you make plans with your friends while he is away
I think that it's completely understandable you should feel upset, I appreciate he has invited you along with his family (and of course given their loss it's right they would want to be together at Christmas) but knowing that you weren't able to accompany him, I feel like adding on a road trip is unnecessary and at best thoughtless, at worst hurtful.
Do you feel that he often puts his own wants ahead of any thought for you/ the relationship? You've been together a fairly long time, and tbh if he's like this now, I'm not sure he will get better. If you're thinking about a future involving children, I'd worry he'll end up being one of those dads who's always off playing sports or on weekends away leaving you holding the baby
I may be being unfair though.
I was coming on to post something about Christmas too. Mine is that my son is away at his gfs from this Weds, he's then back here on Christmas Eve (but he's out all day/ evening with her family), Christmas Day he goes over to see his dad for a few hours, then in the evening he's going to his girlfriend's again until the New Year.
I'm a bit upset by this, I make a lot of effort to make sure we all have a nice Christmas and he's barely here for the next 2 weeks...basically I get to cook him a couple of meals on Christmas Day and wash up after him.
I've said I think he should stay here Christmas Day night and go over to hers Boxing Day, but I will probably get ignored. It just seems a bit sad to me that he can't spend more than 1 night here. His gf also lives at home so it's not like she has her own place, but it feels a bit like saying he prefers being at their house than ours.

Thank you for responding. I really appreciate your advice. I think that’s the part that hurts the most, the timing of the additional trip shows a lack of consideration for my feelings. Especially when he could go later on next year. The communication around it all has been very poor too.I think that it's completely understandable you should feel upset, I appreciate he has invited you along with his family (and of course given their loss it's right they would want to be together at Christmas) but knowing that you weren't able to accompany him, I feel like adding on a road trip is unnecessary and at best thoughtless, at worst hurtful.

With regards to putting himself before me, yes he does. To the point that even his own extended family has mentioned that he’s selfish and puts his own needs and wants first. I think you’re right, I’ve also had the same concerns, as I would like a family in the future.
I’m really sorry to hear about your situation. It seems like your son also doesn’t have his priorities in order. If you haven’t already, it may be worth mentioning what you’ve said above to your son, as sometimes until you express how someone’s actions are making you feel, they’re so wrapped up in their own world that they may not have considered your point of view.
Could you suggest the girlfriend also stay over on Christmas night? Maybe suggest some games etc for the evening?
I hope you’re okay and that it all works out for you.
