I have to say the electric blanket was a good investment, better than the heated throw. Because you’re able to use an electric blanket under the covers that traps heat and gets much warmer. Very good.
Hot water bottles are also amazing. (Just be careful to replace them every two/three years or at any sign of the rubber perishing. Or they will split/leak and scald you.)
Thanks. This is a nightmare but I don’t want to bring others down.
Still struggling health wise and having to jump through bureaucratic hoops.
(I went to hospital and was admitted overnight but didn’t get the intervention I was hoping for/need. Just an escalation of an existing referral.) This pattern may continue for some time so I’ll probably not be posting much about it and really downplaying it. Because it’s a bummer and nobody wants to read about all that for months or years.
I’ve found something easy that speeds combing but might still go for the low maintenance cut when I have the chance. I’ve had the style before, so I know it looks sophisticated and suits me well.
I haven’t been able to do much cooking or gardening lately but might still go and post to the instances in a bit. Pump up the comment numbers. 🙂
I’m hoping that it’s just the tooth and the pain might resolve a bit when that’s gone :( Otherwise the Flo bottle helps a little
Does warmth help? I know it’s very individual.
(I still remember the pain and malaise from when my sinus infection was really bad)
I have noticed there is a point in time when a product is newish but not brand new, so it might be more available on a grey day. And then after that short window the pickings are slimmer.
I guess when something gets too popular others will find out about it and the shelves get cleared.
We’re still talking about moisturiser and eye drops right? 😉
Edit: Oh yes! And sometimes if things are getting very dry you can search for a ‘slime tutorial’ just to smooth out a rough patch.
Sometimes when life is dull I use a product called cough Snaily Lotion to brighten my eyes, especially when I can’t get New Lube (there seem to be worsening supply chain shortages or price hikes of this brand)
You do have to carefully peruse the products as some may have misleading labels or only be sample sizes. Avoid the third party stockists.
But sometimes if you keep checking for stock you might get what you need

Sounds lovely.
I have a favourite jumper with a damaged spot, still trying to find a matching yarn but this video looks good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U3IEUdddUY
Thanks, I might pick some QV up when my Cerave runs out.
My skin even hates sorbolene for some reason. So champagne tastes on a beer budget lol
For some reason the Cetaphil cleanser burnt my skin? I think they’ve changed something because there are other reviews about it. Otherwise I’d go back to using it, it was alright before. QV might be an option.
I do well with Cerave lotion but was trying to see if the cheaper Kmart option was any good
…throws Mr P into the garden
Kidding! I’m kidding!
But yeah I think if he wants a new bedframe after that he can save up the money and make the arrangements.
Tried the Kmart unscented moisturiser - I had my fingers crossed but within seconds there was a faint growing sting. Guess I have to keep getting the one that does seem to be ok.
Life is a sensory nightmare 👍
I used to find Voltaren or Dencorub seemed to help a little. I would also tuck the injured arm inside my shirt before sleep so it wouldn’t flop around as much and I couldn’t unconsciously put it in an aggravating position.
Just some suggestions that may or may not be useful. I hope something brings some relief soon. I remember how much it hurt
Wondering if a knockoff oodie is worth it
The suck cut machine is basically the same as my normal method. Just pulling my hair into a ponytail on the top of my head to cut off length and then soften the ends with vertical snipping for long layers.
I could genuinely just do that method much shorter to end up with the Siouxsie, but I don’t have the volume without styling and need something I can just yank back in one swoop.
Idk
Having a body is bad
I am removing my head
I get very stressed by the entire hairdresser experience, and short is just too much hassle for me. (Constantly going back for trims, enduring the whole experience and constantly paying for it would be a nightmare.)
If it wasn’t for all that I would. I really liked having a modified mohawk in the past, and considered a Chelsea cut but can’t stand fringes
I do both of those things. But for me that way leads to much more ripping out of knots. It’s like letting any knots dry only tightens them. And this is with a gentle shampoo and conditioner, because I’m using these bottles up before they expire.
I’d rather just find something very wide toothed I can rake quickly through damp hair but the teeth on the shower comb look a bit blunt and the ‘wet care’ style is basically the same as the comb I have. The wet brush is very similar to the brush I have. The tangle teezer style I have can be used to detangle individual bad knots in lengths (wet or dry) but has such short bristles that it’s difficult to get through hair when trying to brush the top. I might try the combs with angled double teeth.
I had extreme length hair for decades and it was well cared for. I managed it by combing extra products like leave-in through while damp, plaiting it, and brushing it morning and night starting at the tips.
But I think it just tangles very easily because it’s so fine and even ‘normal long’ is now too much for me. It’s harder to lift my arms to brush or plait my hair. I also don’t want to buy expensive luxuries like extra hair products.)
I’m also considering how much shorter I can go while still being able to tie it back. For me actual short hairstyles are the most fuss of all so that’s a no. My home cutting method results in layers so can’t go too short without turning it into a wolf cut (which means short pieces getting in my face or requiring pins/clips/styling).
Or I could suck up my intense dislike for salons and pay the money to get a low maintenance straight cut bob that’s barely long enough for an elastic. (If I could cut a neat straight line of the right length at home I would have already done it.)
As in a buzz cut? It’s been considered, believe me. But I live in an area of ferals and am too tired to add homophobic comments to what I already deal with
Make them do an Easter egg hunt
