I used to work at Morrisons on the checkouts. One day a woman tried to hand me a slobbery apple core that her kid had been gnawing on. This was a loose apple, sold by weight. Firstly, I don't want to touch that thanks, and secondly how am I supposed to weigh it when half of it is missing?? She genuinely couldn't see the problem.People I’ve seen mostly give stuff to their kids while they are shopping just to shut them up. Like giving them the end off the French stick or packet of crisps. Feed them before you bring them or leave them at home!
DefinitelyTHIS! Money is for spending. If something terrible happened tomorrow and this was your miserable life it’s not worth it
Oh god this! When I was pregnant with my first all I heard was Labour horror stories and it freaked me out.Telling expectant mothers how HARD everything is and how they'll have NO TIME FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING SUCKS is unhelpful.
Advice and/or stories- fine. If you just want to annoy people then please continue with how little sleep/time they will have for the next god knows how many years. If i hear one more' 'you think youre tired now, you just wait!!!!!!' Shut up please
I feel similarly about onions. I love caramelised onion and onion bhaji, but I can’t have bits of onion on salad or fried on burgersi like everything made from tomatoes (sauce, soup, juice...) but tomatoes themselves suck!
Totally agreei like everything made from tomatoes (sauce, soup, juice...) but tomatoes themselves suck!
What happened to saying no, and dealing with the fallout of the word no? Or carrying snacks with you?People I’ve seen mostly give stuff to their kids while they are shopping just to shut them up.

I’m all for budgeting and saving money where you can, I love looking for tips and making my money to further where possible, but some people do take it too far to the point where it seems like they give themselves no respite from it. Maybe they enjoy the challenge i don’t know, but it seems like such a joyless way to live life. It’s one thing if you’re genuinely struggling to make ends meet and I’m not on about people like that, it’s the ones who are comfortable enough but never let themselves have any fun that I don’t understand. I sometimes wonder what these people will do with themselves when they do finally meet their goal. There need to be balance between saving for the future/paying the mortgage off early and letting your hair down every now and then doing what ever that may be.
I fucked up and had children before saving up enough to buy a house, I hold my hands up to that, it is what it is. Some years down the line and we still haven’t bought. In theory we could save up every penny we possibly could to get a small deposit together sooner, but we are not wealthy and it would still take years. The trade off would be our kids missing out on experiencing ‘normal’ childhood things like the occasional day trip or holiday, activities, school trips and what not. It’s not worth sacrificing their childhoods for, we save what we can but living life is also important to us. Houses will always be around to buy, even if the market is nuts. You only get to raise your children once.
I have a story about JW’s. I am abit of a sucker when people knock on my door, charity’s, sales people, JW’s.Jehovah's witnesses are a group of vultures, who prey on the vulerable in society.
I mean you could do that somewhere boutique like and you’d eat in a restaurant before you payYou wouldn't try something on in a changing room and keep it on, because you'd be turned around and told to take it off and pay first.
Nothing is rightfully yours until you've paid
When travelling in Australia I camped in the car regularly (it’s not uncommon, long drives and free camping everywhere but the car was pretty old) Once was in essentially a lay-by - woken up to a knock on the window by a bloody JW giving me their magazine.Jehovah's witnesses are a group of vultures, who prey on the vulerable in society.
This is gonna sound a bit mad but, if I'm doing scan as I shop then I'll have a drink and give the kids food. If we're in a shop without it I'll say we need to pay first. I feel like once the barcode is scanned it's mine.Yes! I've brought all my kids up to know that eating before you pay is theft.
If you can't wait to pay for your stuff then you should have eaten before, or got a snack from the sandwich bit, paid, then carry on.

I’m sure I read somewhere that their is a specific reason for this? Possibly something to do with copyright, but hopefully someone else will know! I remember reading something about it and thinking “ah that makes sense”, cos otherwise it’s the bane of my lifei hate it when you look up something like how to make candles or how to make a lasagna and you’re met with an autobiography from the author.
“When i was a child growing up in X town, my grandma Jean would make Y for me. She was a kind woman born in 1904 and blah blah blah blah blah”
No one cares- just tell me what to do before I whack it in at 200c like I do with everything else
I think it's something like - google’s algorithm penalises sites whose content duplicates other sites while rewarding sites with original content so people are forced to add blurb and not just the recipe.i hate it when you look up something like how to make candles or how to make a lasagna and you’re met with an autobiography from the author.

I did think about kids shoes when I typed that, but clearly they've already worn them around the shop in full view of the salesperson, and they tend to ask you if the child wants to keep them on so I don't think that counts.This is gonna sound a bit mad but, if I'm doing scan as I shop then I'll have a drink and give the kids food.

When I was a kid you always went out the shop in the shoes that you had tired on if you were buying them. So I can't agree with your clothes theory
I think it's because of Google's algorithm. Essentially if a food blogger just puts a recipe on a page, with little accompanying text, it'll be way down the Google search list. But if they make a massive introduction, filled with lots of keywords, it'll appear higher up.I’m sure I read somewhere that their is a specific reason for this?
