Great, now I have to get a bird bath. I already have a bird hotel, pigeon plates and window boxes. What more do these feathered overlords need to keep them at bay??

It’s rude to listen in to other people conversations lol, leave the spikey hamsters to their chats.

If I’m feeling healthy its on the George, if I’m risking heart failure it’s fried in a pan. Three kinds of cheese and mayo mixed with franks. Cheese on the outside of the bread is non-negotiable.

Being the local grassfluencer I’d have to say a 4 right now. It needs to be high enough not to burn the stripes.

Three years ago when I went through the worst grief my partner was “busy”. I don’t have any hate or pain about it now but back then his behaviour was horrific. This was our loss and he left me to deal with everything. I worked my way through it, it made me stronger and now happily single. Even if he didn’t know how to handle it he could have asked. Each to their own. I’m eternally grateful for the lessons and peace I have because of it.

Good luck.

Guess who muted all the app, wrote a new summer diet plan and plans to smash the gym this week? Moi. I cannot do another “I’m great thanks, hows your week going?” Nope. I’d rather take all my frustration to the boxing bag. I think Immma add two inches on my ass just out of spite for all the low effort in the apps. I still wont have a date but my ass will look even better 🤣🤣

I finished Uni on Friday (mature student) I’ve slept, eaten and napped. When we passed GCSES we had a revision bonfire and accidentally set light to my friends parents fence. Do not recommend.

You can still go for a drink and enjoy a soft drink. I don’t drink and I can enjoy a coffee or soft drink somewhere nice.

Yep I went on one date with this recently. He whispered in my ear how beautiful I looked whilst we stood in line for coffee. I smelt his breath. He mixed up the days we were due to meet so I was just finished work, in uniform. Not special. I trust my gut and said I didn’t want to take it any further via message afterwards. Years ago I would have put myself through uncomfortable hell, unexcited, attracted but not comfortable. Not anymore. I don’t judge anyone, I’m 8 years happily sober but it’s not for me. The whole false affection is an instant no.

Maybe take a break? Best of luck.

When people know what they want theres no confusion. You’ve tried to make it work. They havent. Plan time with someone else.

Date yourself, take yourself out on a date and prove to yourself you can be a good date. Stop giving someone you don’t know all your power. For me, I learned all my date anxiety went as soon as I could set up a date just for me and enjoy it alone. It’s not about others for me, deep down I have to be good enough for myself, thats why I can think, their loss because I know I’m a great date. It’s self kindness and if someone’s not interested thats okay.

Likes been said, clear their physical things and process it by taking care of myself.

“I don’t like his face, neither do my friends. The sex is good” THIS is why people are messed up. I hope he finds someone amazing.

To be honest I’m learning to accept 90% of the app users are time wasters. 5% remaining are multi daters. 4% are too scared and and just chat. 1% are right for me, in the right mindset and ask me out.

I received a message from someone I’ve been chatting to nicely for a few days that just blew up all the efforts we’d made. I’m not taking it personally, I just take a break from the apps and date myself.

I used to think the longer that we chatted the more chance there was of being ghosted. But I’ve met people in person within a few days and it’s happened. I just think the apps are an absolute breeding ground for it and I understand why. Can’t complain about the weather if I’m the one stood in the rain.

It’s their survival mode (oxymoron theory) kicking in if food doesn’t smell right. They are stubborn but I experienced it with my cat and it was funny at first. It turns out she had an infection so all food smelt bad to her. We got her sorted but it was a shock how quickly she declined.

Yep I’ve just posed as this happened to my 14 year old. Everything turned out okay but I cannot express how quickly she declined and how serious it became. I know the posts funny but it’s good to be aware.

Sadly I’ve just been through this with my cat & it was serious. She was poorly however with an infection that i wasn’t aware of initially. I now know it affected her sense of smell. I tried everything, I was blending stinky kitten food and adding every stinky food, ham etc I could find (as advised by my vet). The vet prescribed meds to help and gave us this horrendously smelly food to try to tempt her, nothing. She was literally anorexic, apparently it is common. She needed emergency surgery and the weight loss meant we didn’t know if she would be okay with the anaesthetic.She had a major operation to resolve the problem and dove her face straight into food the second she could. She still over smells everything before eating but she’s okay. It’s taken weeks to get her weight up to just within healthy range.

I know OP’s situation is funny because cats are stubborn. I thought this with mine at one point but it can turn serious quickly likes been said as their organs shut down. Once they get suspicious of food for any reason it can turn badly quick. Good to be aware.

I’m here in support of the cheese and onion pasty, followed by a steak bake, a sausage roll and a can of fanta after would be epic.

If you’re buying plants or even looking at them then it’s probably already happened. And yes this is normal.
