Help! We need to replace ours and I’ve just read that ceramic glaze can leach?? What on earth do I buy?

EDIT: lol thank you fellow cooking people for joining me on this thread 🫶🏽* wasn’t expecting so many!*…

I am so hot and so tired. I’d already had a week of no sleep and this is tipping me over the edge. There is no air anywhere!!!

What are your survival methods??! And I’m so worried about my kids, I feel irresponsible for them sleeping in such a hot room, but what else can I do when the fan is circulating hot air and opening windows does nothing? Anyone found something genuinely helpful that’s not AC?

So I’m moving house in two weeks. We’re so excited, really need to upsize and it’s totally a good thing. But at the same time there’s some big emotions leaving this place coz it’s been home a while and my brain usually gets worse with OCD when I’ve got “big feelings”. OCD also gets worse for me when there’s a big change…

So basically I want some advice on how to look after my brain really well to avoid spiralling or how you would cope in this situation? I’m finding I’m getting more and more nervous about how I might respond, which is such a waste of headspace!

Coz I blooming well can’t and it drives me mad. Whether it’s be on time, finish that task by that time, do that thing in the house, or just generally be reliable that I’ll do what I said I would or up for meeting up on a certain day. I’m constantly changing plans or dropping balls. GAH!

Like I’ve told my husband I’ll be ready on time to do the school run tomorrow morning so he can have a morning off (we both wfh) but I can’t even trust myself to do that 😭

Where on earth did she disappear to after winning on Danny and Tom’s team of the voice?

Hey! I’ve just got my first set of alcohol markers and first coco wyo book. I want inspiration please - tell me about or even show me all the different colouring styles you can think of and give me any pointers you have 🥰

I want to do some crafting and make my own bracelets. What bead materials would be classed as non toxic? And what about clear elastic, is that just fine as the beads wouldn’t touch your skin?

I just can’t do it no matter how hard I try and it’s making me so depressed. I’m signed off work for burnout but I desperately need to lose weight as I’m so overweight. Please don’t tell me to not think about my weight right now - it’s always been impossible even when I’m at full pelt.

I can’t do the injections because of personal risk factors but I’ve been trying for three years and never manage to stick to anything. I have ADHD too and it just feels so impossible.

Any advice from anyone? I’m so desperate!!

I have successfully switched over my cleaning products, eliminated UPFs, and switched toiletries too over the last few months.

Now onto clothes. I’m overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. I have adhd so info overload is an issue - I need easy to follow instructions. Can someone break it down for me into some steps? Like top things to avoid, how to make my existing wardrobe less toxic, and what to buy going forward?

TIA x

Hit me with your best ones? So far I’ve changed my jewellery storage to one that hangs inside my wardrobe with individual pouches so it’s easy to put stuff away and I can see every item I own. Similarly with my toiletries I now have a mantle top shelf caddy thing where my usual stuff goes so it’s easy to grab and easy to put back.

Give me all your best tips!!

I find mornings impossibly hard. I’m anxious a lot of the time, but even when I’m not I find it impossible to get going, so I’m always late, lunch is always rushed, and I never fit in any exercise. How do you do it?!!

I always thought oh maybe it will go away as I get less depressed, but I’m getting better and this feeling still hasn’t gone. Then I got diagnosed with ADHD-C and learnt about executive dysfunction, and realised I’m stuck with this feeling. Is there any way to make it easier?

It feels totally out of my control - every single morning I wake up and about 30 seconds later a panic attack starts. Has anyone else experienced this and how on earth do I get it to stop?

I am currently signed off with burnout but this has been happening for a long long time.

And ones that won’t leave me looking like I have a dark moustache in between? Hair on my chin is appearing and on my upper lip it is darkening!! Not a fan. Don’t know how to get rid effectively without irritating my skin.

I’ve been lots before, but this time I’m in particular need of really enjoying it and relaxing. Obviously I’ll do the usual shave, moisturise, eyebrows, tidy nails… is there anything else you like to do to feel extra ready to relax or feel good in your body before you go?

I need recommendations of a mascara that will hold even at a spa?! I’m in the UK if that helps.

Not feeling super confident in myself at the moment so was wanting to at least have a bit of mascara on for a bit of a boost if possible! I want tried and tested, not just claims from an ad.

Thanks!
