How do I get this black stuff off? (Pro Tour)

How do I get this black stuff off? (Pro Tour)

Hoping someone has tips, driving me crazy! I know the orange staining is from my electrolytes and I’m accepting it even though it annoys me, but I can’t get the black stuff off of this part (and some faint grey stuff off the rubber seal)

I completely dissemble it and clean it, by hand and in dishwasher, fairly often too. I have ME/CFS so I don’t manage as often as I’d like but at least once a month

I’ve tried running it through a Zima dental pod cleaner with one of the tablets, hand washing, and dishwasher, but no luck yet

Candyfloss adult re-read thoughts - Rhiannon’s mum

I know we’re meant to dislike her but I would have loooved to go shopping with Rhiannon’s mum lol. I looked so much younger than my age and really wanted cool older clothes. JW frames this like the worst thing ever but it would’ve been my dream lmao

I actually got my grandma to sew me a crop top when I was 8 for the school disco bc I loved W.I.T.C.H. so much and I wanted Will’s outfit

Also I was such a socially unaware kid I wouldn’t have picked up on anything except ‘woo free stuff’

Reminders of the world moving on are so heartbreaking

Just got a notification from our work HR app that someone gave kudos for a project going live. Especially stung because it was a project I flew across the world for this time last year and was supposed to be one of the leads on, but I got sick as it kicked off and now it’s all done without me 🥲

This illness is horrible for so many reasons but things like that are so crushing and now I’m crying alone thinking about what would have been if this never happened

Bonfyre fest?

I just got a notification it was starting but nothing when I went onto the app - no updates pending and nothing on insta either.

Anyone get the notification/know when it’s coming?

I really like Neveah

She said f a place in the villa, I’m standing on my principles, and it’s so refreshing. Pulling Simba up like that costs her the villa ticket but she’s being authentic, I loved it

Btw the way he responded was SCARY like Wdym ‘the audacity’ to leave him?? Didn’t like Samraj’s comments about her either. He’s so disappointing

People mispronouncing names on TikTok

It really grinds my gears when I’m listening to debriefs on TikTok and people mispronounce their names, like saying Kavan like ‘Kay-van’ and Mica like ‘Mike-ah’

I don’t really get how it happens because it’s not like they’re characters in books where you can misread it, they’re on TV we hear their names said all the time!

OPI Raindrop Expectations is not meeting anyone’s expectations

2 coats in and not feeling optimistic about the 3rd saving this 😭 perfect colour but awful application! I only rolled the bottle in my hands on the 1st coat so vigorously shook it for the 2nd per OPI instructions but oh dear.

If anyone has dupe pastel blue recs pls let me know!

Product list:
Essie strong start base coat
OPI nature strong raindrop expectations

UPDATE: so I checked the batch code and they sold me one that’s over 4 years old which explains a lot lol. Trying to get a replacement / refund but maybe if it was new it would work! Will invest in some thinner if I can’t

Any DPD drivers know what to do when we keep getting told our parcel is coming on next run and it never does?

Having a nightmare in London atm, our local depot has had the parcel for days and said they’d deliver on Monday. Didn’t get a delivery slot so rang up and they promised it was coming on the 2nd run of the day. Never got a slot and saw it was delayed by a day; and the same thing’s happened today (spoke to person at depot, promised first run, then promised second, now phone lines are closed and must be delayed to tomorrow).

Did ask if we can just go pick it up but they said no.

Another item arrived at the same depot yesterday and came today early!

We can call tomorrow but not sure we have any actual options aside from waiting and seeing.

It’s health-related and pretty desperate hence the post in here lol

Belle’s weird TikToks with a very young looking guy

Has anyone seen all her posts lately with this Milo person? He looks like a child and they’re very flirty, it’s so strange. Also the way she acts with him is just incredibly cringe lol even if he is of legal age (and I don’t think technical legality makes it less creepy)

Chrome powder - how do you stop your reg top coat cracking the water based??

I’ve been experimenting with chrome on reg polish and it’s working up to the water-based top coat over chrome (I’m using piggy paint as its limited options in the UK!).

But when I go to seal it all in with a regular top coat (Essie gel couture) it cracks. I’ve tried just waiting for it to feel dry, then I tried several mins with a blow dryer on cold - how is everyone else doing it??

I don’t feel like I can leave it overnight on my hands since I need to wash them quite often

NX Rewards help

I’ve been signed up to Complete Savings for years, but I signed up with Trainline when I used to visit my boyfriend long distance a lot. Since he moved to my city I’ve just been wasting my monthly bonus for a few years now - I was spending enough to still get a net positive, but I’ve recently got ME/CFS and off work so spending has cut and that’s no longer the case!

I wanted to switch to NX Rewards since I’ve seen on here you can get the monthly bonus back from any partner, and the rest is the same.

However - just spoke to them on the phone and they said every membership is different and you can’t always claim it back??

I found a sign up link on another thread but in reading those membership terms, there’s no mention anywhere of the bonus / being able to claim anything back.

Can anyone help? Much appreciated!!

I did ask Complete Savings to close my account but that won’t go into effect til 4th June so I might call them and see if I can undo that decision, if NX Rewards won’t let me claim back the monthly bonus anyway.

Gaps around frames in prescription sunglasses - is this normal?

Just got these back from Lensology and while they look fine from the front this is going on in the back. Is this normal? Doesn’t seem right to me and I’ve emailed them but I’m not sure if I should be kicking up a fuss or not

Song changes in S2

Re-watching and noticing that the song playing in S2 when Jeremiah and belly kiss on the car has changed - it’s not Beyoncé ‘XO’ anymore but some random other song

Wondering if they did this in other scenes and also why 🤔
