I’ve just investigated them further and it seems the flavours are a bit different which is weird. A king size Bombay bad boy with ALL the hot sauce is my guilty PMT pleasure a few times a year. Doesn’t look like it comes potless which is a bit shit!I had forgotten about them, saw and advert for them on my FB page, thanks for the reminder.
I noticed that too when I had a look on Pot Noodle website.I’ve just investigated them further and it seems the flavours are a bit different which is weird.

That reminds me of a time I saw a dog shivering and he was with his owner. It broke my heart i told the lady ur dog seems very cold. She said « oh hes gonna be fine » and let him shiver.Found a dead dog a few weeks ago. Entirely the owners’ fault. I love dogs and it’s so so upsetting that some dogs don’t get to live their best lives because of irresponsible owners.
The first one …. WTFStupid people going abroad.
Read a story yesterday about a woman who wanted to give birth on a beach so flew to the Caribbean with her husband. Left their 8 year old daughter behind. Ended up giving birth on a boat, couldn't register the baby anywhere and are now stuck out there because they can't get a passport for the baby.
Today I read a woman got into a barny with Ryanair over cabin luggage. Ended up getting removed from the flight. Her sob story was her baby has to have prescribed baby formula so she had to get home as she had run out that day. She hadn't taken any extra with her.
Do people never plan for the unexpected?
I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I have no real advice except to say that I feel exactly the same as you. Sometimes I feel like I'm always the one to make the effort in friendships and if I stop texting people then I never hear from them again. It's tough, but I think it says more about them than you. It's good that you are going out and opening yourself up to make friendships because honestly that is the hardest part. I guess not everyone is going to end up your best friend but if you keep putting yourself out there (as exhausting as it is, I know) eventually you will find your people. I've had to remind myself many times that people are busy but it doesn't help that I'm usually busy with work and other things but I always find the time to text back or plan a date to meet. I think as adults it gets harder when people have children and other commitments. Keep your chin up though lovely, someone will be very lucky to be your friendToday I just want to rant about myself. Sorry, I feel like I'm doing so much ranting here in the past 2 weeks, but my schedule has been so stuffed that I haven't had anyone IRL to talk to. This is such a non-problem, but I just need to get it out...
I'm part of a hobby group for about 2 years now. I'm slowly trying to make individual friends there, for one-on-one hangouts and activities etc. With a few people I'm getting there. There is one lady who I asked out for coffee about 3 months ago, she said enthusiastically that she'd love to. We had a coffee date. At the end she said she'd love to do it again.
Today I messaged her asking if she has time for another coffee before summer is over. She said she was afraid not, August was too busy for her, but she hoped all was well with me. It felt really like she was saying "I don't want to hang out with you again."
I know it's very possible that August is completely chock-a-block for her, I'm not denying that at all. I just feel down that she didn't ask how I was or say we could get together later in the year. I know I have a tendency to read too much into things, so it might just be me.
I'm not here to rant about her in any way, I'm just annoyed at myself if I'm not good company, or if I often get upset over something that I read into incorrectly. I had a really shit upbringing that taught me that no one, not even my family, wants to be around me. I've been in therapy for years and gotten a lot better. I now mostly believe myself to be likeable and a good friend... it's just when the slightest thing like this happens, I get so down and feel like I've done something wrong. I know there's no way of knowing what's going on in someone else's head, so I have to make peace with not knowing and not pester them. I'm just here because I need to say that I feel really down.
I think it’s great that you are putting yourself out there and trying to make new friends. There’s no way I could do that! I wish I could. The way I see it is that she wouldn’t have agreed to that first coffee if she genuinely didn’t like you or enjoy your company. August is a bit of a nightmare time, what with the school holidays etc so she might just have been busy and it’s not a reflection on you.Today I just want to rant about myself.

I've had similar experience. The thing I've found is that someone is wanting to be friends but you don't always realise.Today I just want to rant about myself.

i'm with Fenella on this . I personally don't have any friends in this country and haven't made a single one since moving down to London 25 yrs ago. People don't seem to be open to making new friends. I am sure you are lovely. I know it is no consolation but I have had it said so many times by people that I am nice, kind, funny etc etc.. they really don't understand why I dont have friends and quite frankly neither do IMaking friends as adults is especially hard. Some people already have a a full circle of friends and family and genuinely feel they have no more to give.
Other times you can meet with people, have a perfectly pleasant time and then think there's no genuine connection there. I did it a coupe of times when my daughter started school. Would go for coffee with the another Mum and then never again.
@InkHeart don't take it to heart. I'm sure it's nothing personal against you.
I read that and afterwards just sat there scratching my head thinking what the fuck is wrong with people?Stupid people going abroad.
