What foods do you get random cravings of, which you find odd?

I’ll explain what I mean using an example of mine. I randomly get sudden craving for lettuce at times. Nothing else with it, just lettuce. I genuinely love the taste of it, and how refreshing it is. However, I just find it very odd (I’m eating lettuce now, hence the post).

It’s made me wonder what foods people just get random cravings for? When did it start? And why do you love it so much?

Orders 1:30mins late!

I’ve contacted Just eat regarding this order, which it says courier is still at the store, and they said if I cancel the order, I’ll not be refunded at all.

It’s made me beyond angry. I said it’s unacceptable and Morrisons are the problem here, not me. Then they carried on with ‘the est. arrival has been updated. Wait for this to pass, then contact’.

It’s been updated like 20 times. Must be.

I’m getting so angry. Still not received it. Courier is still at the store supposedly. No way to cancel without being charged. It’s ridiculous.

Edit: meant 1:30 hours lol.

Edit: orders now been cancelled. Fully refunded. Still shocked though. Can’t believe how awful just eat customer service are. Let alone, that they just use messages that are already typed. Half of the time, not helping the situation or answering queries.

How much should I look at spending on my first car.

Would a £1500 car typically be bad? I’ve had people tell me to aim for £2500-£3500. So, I’m unsure how much I should be looking to spend on a first car.

White chocolate ruins some flavours.

So, a while back I tried the mango Ben and Jerry’s, which was lovely. However, the white chocolate pieces just ruined it for me. I felt that it didn’t go well at all with the flavour. I feel mango pieces or something would have gone way better. White chocolate doesn’t go with mango I don’t think.

Today I bought the strawberry doughnut one for the first time. Again, a lovely ice cream, however the white chocolate I feel doesn’t go at all. It just doesn’t match.

My favourite by far is the Strawberry Cheesecake. Everything goes so well together, and well… it tastes exactly how it’s supposed to- a cheesecake.

I’ve still got many flavours to explore, but that’s my fave. Then my second fave is probably the dulce de leche one.

DBS service is making me depressed and anxious.

So, I applied for a paramedic science degree in 2025, and was supposed to go university last year. However, something quite bad was on my dbs.

Basically, I had a therapist assessment, to which I kept being referred to psychiatric as ‘I was too complex for talking therapy services’. Then I kept getting turned down by psychiatry. Sometimes it was because I only took one medication at a time. They said I need to trial at least two medications, before being accepted. Then other times they said psychiatrist wouldn’t benefit me (which even my psychiatrist was shocked).

Due to all of this, I made some huge claims towards the therapy team, to get seen. I said I had homicidal thoughts, killed animals, etc. My own fault and it was stupid. However, it got me seen. I immediately withdrawn the claim, but it was reported to the police. Due to that, it shown on my dbs as extra information.

Now I’m waiting on the barring register, as dbs said they need to see whether I should be put on it. I’ve given all evidence that I’m mentally capable, and also that it was all made up to get seen.

Now I’m waiting and it’s taking ages.

It’s made me so depressed and anxious for my future. I feel sick thinking about it. As my career lies on this. It’s my own fault, but I’m so angry at the mental health system. If they didn’t leave me without care for two years, I wouldn’t be in this situation. I take responsibility for what I’ve said, but I do blame the nhs for negligence. To which I’ve got a legal claim open. They declined me constantly, which caused so much more problems for me.

I’m just so upset by everything, and it’s making me question my life. I feel quite hopeless.

My psychiatrist has made it clear that this route was best for me, as I needed psychiatric input. Yet I was declined so many times, for ridiculous reasons. It’s so unfair and damaging. My mental health has certain gotten worse. My traumas gotten worse (as I’ve not tackled it), my hopelessness has gotten worse… I’ve also been diagnosed with ‘personality disorder traits stemmed from past trauma’.

I feel if I got help sooner, then I’d be a lot better than I am. I’m just so upset by the whole situation. I feel it’s ruined who I am, and my life in so many ways.

Sorry for this long vent. I just needed to get all of this off my chest. I feel like screaming, as I’m so broken. I don’t know how to fix it.

Now I’m just waiting for ‘long term trauma focused therapy’. I’m on a medication which helps a bit also. However, no medication can fix the hopelessness that I’m feeling. 😭

Some football fans: pride shouldn’t exist. It shouldn’t be on the pitch, as it’s inappropriate for children… meanwhile: exhibit A- no issues with this at all.

Makes me laugh. Not all football fans of course, but I see many hooligan type fans being homophobic on football clubs pride posts. Then they’re okay with this kind of shite lmao. Says a lot 🤣

Those short films that pop on Facebook, etc., are so annoying, but obsessive.

I’m sure many have had this happen to them, as I’ve had friends who’ve got exactly what I mean when I say this. This is more a rant about my bloody self 🤣

Every now and then, I get these videos pop up on Facebook. It’ll be something stupid like ‘mother and daughter are shamed for being poor. Little do they know, this mother is the CEO of magic mushroom enterprise, or something stupid. They only show a little bit, and stupid me always watches them.

Then I hunt for the full video for free, and end up watching it all. Only to be feeling ashamed for watching it, as the acting is crap, it is made to be dragged out, it’s annoying, and it ends terribly. Yet, I keep watching them.

It’s ridiculous, and I don’t even know why I watch them every time. I sometimes get really upset with myself, that I wasted my time on such crap. 🙃

They’re so stupid, and always ends the same way. ‘There’s no way you’re the heiress, or ceo blah blah. People get punched, and there’s always people looking like oh my god, that lady is so out of order for disrespecting that man or woman. Then the heiress or ceo shows some evidence that they’re the leader, then they’re like ‘that’s fake. You’ve frauded this’. They do this with like 6 different things like that. ‘You’ve frauded this’, ‘you’re lying’, etc. Always the same.

Then the big person that everyone knows will turn up, and be like ‘that is the CEO’ or whatever, then he/she’ll slap the trouble makers, etc. Then it ends with the same crap every time.

Why is it so addictive to watch, despite it being such drivel. Think I may be broken, when it comes to these short films 😖🤣

So yaaa, that’s my rant about myself finished. I sure needed it lol. Would be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem also lol.

On a mission to try all Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Here’s what my views are so far… still got many to try.

Cookie Dough- I was actually so disappointed. I love cookie dough frijj milkshake, so thought I’d love this. I didn’t enjoy it at all. The ice cream itself was lovely, but the cookie dough chunks, I did not enjoy.

Sweet mango memories- lovely ice cream. Cannot go wrong with mango. However, the white chunks ruined it for me. I felt it just did not go with the ice cream at all.

Chocolate fudge brownie- I have the same view for any chocolate ice cream. Too sickly, and just too much. I always find chocolate ice cream is always far too sickly, even after a couple spoons.

Dulce de-lish- beautiful. Love the flavour. Is a bit sickly, but if only having a little bit at a time- it’s delicious.

Strawberry cheesecake- the best ice cream that I’ve ever had. No lies. I was in shock. The ice cream was heavenly, and the little biscuit and all. I really enjoyed it. Everything was nicely balanced, and the ice cream truly tasted like a great cheesecake. I’ve had cheesecake flavoured things, that haven’t tasted like cheesecake at all, and are just sickly. This was the opposite. 10/10. Best ice cream I’ve had. Still cannot get over it. I will be buying it again!

I’m going to try the Banoffee one next. I live for banoffee pie, so hopefully I will love it!

People who don’t agree with ending sick people’s misery are selfish.

Everyone deserves the right to die peacefully, or end their suffering. Whether it’s cancer, a severe disability, a severe mental illness…

I find it extremely selfish when people say ‘I’d hate for them to get put to sleep, as I don’t want to lose them’, etc. I fully comprehend that losing someone is sad, and letting someone end their lives would be horrible and sufferable. However, it would be so selfish to let someone continue living a life in agony, misery or without little abilities.

I am totally for assisted dying being bought in to many countries, highly regulated of course.

The UK has had lots of talks about this, with majority of a panel voting for the assisted dying bill.

yet, many voted against it. I cannot comprehend why someone would vote against ending someone’s misery?!? It just frazzles my brain.

If someone’s in long term agony, very mental ill (where treatments are ineffective), terminally ill, or have a severe disability, then let them go. Stop being selfish, and think about what the other person is going through. as said, I get that it’s hard, but people need to understand what the other person is going through. No one should have to go through it.

It’s hard not to be anxious in the streets nowadays.

I find it extremely difficult to not be scared of the streets nowadays. You constantly hear about rapes, stabbings, attacks, gang crime… on my road alone, there’s been several stabbings the past couple of years. I was also victim to a crime.

It’s hard to ignore it, when it happens so much. The world is way more scary nowadays.

You get children who seem less respectful, and want to be these ‘roadman’, ‘gangster’, and all. You get people going to random people, stabbing them. You get riots. You get arson being committed. Burglary’s. Theft… the list goes on.

I’m very nervous going out now. I don’t drive, but got a test booked. As I want a car desperately. I don’t feel safe walking in the streets. I don’t feel safe in public. I don’t feel safe on public transport.

I hate it.

The world is a scary place. As much as people try to highlight the beauty of earth. It’s still dangerous and scary.

The ‘why are you gay’ guy is disgusting.

The man in the meme ‘why are you gay?’ He is truly vile. I see posts by him, as he’s on social media. He posts openly homophobic videos, set out as jokes.

‘Well done for not being gay, and being natural’. All stuff like this. Full of people supporting him laughing. Many videos where he’s just openly homophobic.

This man is not the slightest bit funny, and I think people only find it ‘funny’ as it feeds their hateful narratives. This man is making jokes which are heavily laced with his homophobic views. He’s disgusting. 😡 you report it also, but does Facebook care? Nope, lol. It’s all ridiculous.

Really struggling with a phobia of spiders.

I’m struggling with this so much. I get panic attacks leading up to spider season, and my city is said to have the most spiders in the UK. It’s the spider capital of the UK. (Leicester).

My apartment doesn’t get them majorly, but my mother’s house does. I’m here more than anywhere, and during spider season, she probably gets around 40-50 spiders (5 per day sometimes). It absolutely kills me inside. They’re massive, thick, black ones also.

It’s not even spider season yet, but she’s got so many again. She had a big black one the other day. She’s had around 10 skinny ones the past few days. And now she’s got a huge black one in the bathroom. The body is the size of a golf ball.

I rushed out the bathroom and now In bed in her spare room. I can’t sleep at all. Just knowing that’s in the other room is terrifying me.

It makes me contemplate life sometimes. They genuinely get in the way of my life quality. I am in constant fear. Panic attacks all the time because of spiders. It ruins my life.

I wish I could get over it. I’ve tried so hard to overcome this phobia, but all methods seem ineffective.

Next month (in prep for spider season), I am going to buy a zip up mosquito net, so I’m hidden at night times. I’m also buying tons of spider spray, sticky spider traps, etc. I feel bad for killing them, but it’s the only way that I can be comfortable. I am mostly alone and or with my disabled mother, so I have no options. As I can’t take them out, even with a cup. The last time I tried the cup method, I actually passed out. As I hyperventilated.

I honestly hate spiders man. They suck so much. People say ‘they get rid of pests’ blah blah. That doesn’t at all stop me being terrified of them. The other pests, I don’t even get bothered about. It’s just the spiders! If they didn’t have 8 legs and awful body’s, then I’d be fine with them.

They just ruin my life in so many ways. 😭😭

Some drivers attitude to learner drivers absolutely stink.

If you beep at a learner for stalling. Overtake when it’s not necessary. Tailgate a learner. Any of these stupid things, then you’re an AH. You shouldn’t be on the road.

We’ve all been learners, and we’ve all dealt with nerves when learning. Seems some drivers just seem to forget that. Lacking patience for those learning, causing hazards for those learning, and intimidating those who are learning.

Give learners a flaming chance. Don’t be a wet wipe.

Honestly, some of the stuff that I see drivers do to learners- it rattles my brain sometimes. Trying to comprehend what they’re thinking.

Don’t be an AH.
