Stick or stop

I was on the MJ jabs last year but have a severe needle phobia and struggled to take it a lot of the time and wasted a lot of money on pens I couldn't finish.

Started the tablets three months ago, I did it via Voy, which might be the issue.

I did one month on 1.5, one month on 4 and had about 8 tablets left of 9 but stopped as I got my period really bad and wasn't very well.

I had the three months subscription from Boy and have stopped it, I haven't lost anything and literally cannot afford to step up to the 25mg.

I've read a few things that nothing can happen until 25mg so not sure if I should find a cheaper provider and try at least one month on 25mg. Would be great to hear opinions.

think I've been really stupid for the last 7 years.

7 years ago I got a Google One account. I have 2 Google accounts, my main one and a back up one I use for things that will get a lot of emails, social media etc. whenever I go to Google One it says my main account is the plan manager and my back up is a member. I've had Pixels since version 3 and have also bought my dad a one and myself Fitbit and Pixel watches, and a Chromebook via Google store with my main account for this.

I ordered my 11 Pro yesterday and saw about the 6 month free Google AI Pro so was looking at my Google One account to compare - as that's due for renewal at the start of September - and saw that my second account has more benefits, was really confused and used Google Gemini to help, turns out the Google One account is held by my secondary account but I somehow made the main account the plan manager, I assumed it had always been the plan manager.

So if 10% store credit has been on the Google One account the whole 7 years, I have missed out on a lot! Kicking myself for not realising!

Out of date, totally useless or just less potent?

Potent may be wrong but I could not think of the word!

I live in the UK and have always had trouble sleeping, so a couple of years ago my brother, who lives in the US, sent me a couple of bottles of Nature Made 5mg Melatonin. I used it a couple of times, but would always forget until too late in the evening!

The times I took it I remember waking up at 3am quite wide awake and then struggled to get to sleep again and woke up at normal time a little tired.

I've seen nice been diagnosed with ADHD and am on 50mg of Elvanse which is a stimulant medication. This last week I took it every day and did not go to sleep until around 4am, I had a couple of hours of sleep and woke up at 7am-8am and then taken that days tablet and so been awake and alert.

This morning I woke up at about 8am, I didn't take an Elvanse tablet today and fell asleep at 2pm and woke up at 7pm, I'm still so tired and could easily sleep another couple of hours. Thing is I know it means I will struggle to sleep tonight.

I suddenly remembered my Melatonin, checked and it has an expiry date of August 2025. Can I still take it and will it work and be the same or since it's expired will it be milder and not as strong or is it best to discard and not use?

Incorrect customs charge

Hope I've used the right flair.

I posted a week or so ago about a parcel my brother had sent from the US to me, and it being in the same place for a while. Anyway it's on its way again but it says there's a customs charge, and we're waiting for the card to give details of how to pay. This seemed odd as I know what's in it and it's less than $100 worth.

I spoke to my brother and he said when he was at the post office, the guy asked him how many items and the value, my brother said 10 items and $75, the guy said each and my brother said no, but he's now thinking the guy put each item at $75, so the value would show as $750. Is there anyway that we can get the charge removed or altered and if so is it best to do it before paying or pay it and then look at getting a refund?

What membrane to use?

Hi, I'm having our weed filled garden finally sorted after being in our new build for 12 years. The gardeners have also pulled everything out of the front of the house. My plan is to have this as a goth garden, with black slate or gravel and then a couple of pots of things like rosemary, hydrangeas and lavender, the pots will be on stone circles like stepping stones.

To avoid (as much as possible) weeds coming up, could I put a couple of inches of sand, then a membrane, then the slate?

I am 100% a novice but want to make the front as easy as possible to manage.

Any ideas?

Got this done around 14 years ago, I'd just come out of a mentally abusive relationship and hadn't got the confidence to tell the tattooist that it wasn't 100% what I wanted.

I'm not particularly keen on the size of her arm or the empty insignia (it looks pink because I put some pink lip stain on it earlier and forgot), or that the scroll with 'Rebel' on doesn't seem part of the same tattoo.

Could it be fixed or would it work for a cover up, blast over or would it need laser?

How long do packages take to process through parcelforce?

My brother sent me a parcel from the US to the UK, it's been at the parcelforce hub since last Friday. How long does it tend to take to get from arrival at Parcelforce to delivery?

Consultation tomorrow

I have an electrolysis consultation tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. I have a severe needle phobia, does it feel like an injection? I've heard people talk about it being painful, is that the needle insertion or the zap?

I had laser about 12 years ago and that didn't hurt too bad until she did my top lip and then it was teeth zinging, I've also had threading and waxing and can cope. Is it worse pain than that?

Edit: had my consultation and skin test, didn't feel anything around my chin - so much so I asked if she'd even done it when she did the first one. The corners of my top lip were noticeable she was doing three in one pass and the first one I didn't feel, second felt pressure, third was uncomfortable, she said they all got increasingly closer to my lip and that tended to be more sensitive.

I broke my nose when I was 18 from a fall and cut open my philtrum, now it's scarred and has a couple of hairs that grow near it and when she did those it was painful, but she had said it might be. I could still feel the sensation from them around 30 minutes later.

I have a 15 minute session next Tuesday and another two weeks after that. Then, after those 2, it'll move to 30 minutes every 3 weeks. 15 mins is £30 and 30 mins is £50. I have said though that I'm fine concentrating on my chin area and possibly the side of my lips, but not the middle.

All in all, it wasn't as bad as I was imagining and I really wish I'd done it years ago instead of laser.

How to take a cutting?!

Hydrangeas are my favourite plant and it's all because of this from my.paremt's garden. They've had this for as long as I can remember and I'm 50.

If I wanted to grow this at my house, how would I do it? Ideally I'd like it in pots as our garden is a new build and awful, and I'd like to be able to take it with us when we move.

I am 100% not a gardener so will need it explained like I'm 5!

Can it even be done?

How quick for side effects?

I started this morning and within an hour started feeling nauseous and it would come on waves. Had to run to the bathroom thinking I was.going to throw up earlier but I didn't, just had major stomach cramping.

I had zero side effects on MJ - I have severe needle phobia and struggled to inject myself.

Thing is I was at a concert last night in the blazing sun and not sure if it might be sunstroke, and as we've got this heatwave for a while I might not know 100% for a few days, but wondered if it would happen so quickly.

When does the overdraft refund come in? Time of day.

Normally when I have a payment due it shows a day or two before with the due date as an upcoming deposit. And on the due date payments normally come in a couple of minutes after midnight

I got the letter a couple of months ago about my overdraft going and a refund, it's due today - the 8th - but isn't showing as upcoming and hasn't come in yet.

I just wondered if anyone had had it and could remember the time of day it comes in. I have something I want to pay out of the account and can't until the overdraft is paid off.

Bases not fitting

Hi, I've just bought 3 packs of bases from Funko so we can display them better without having to put blutack on them.

Turns out only three of the Funkos we have have holes in the feet and the peg on the base is too big for the hole.

Am I doing it wrong, is there another way they're meant to fit, or do I file off the peg and hot glue the figure to the bases?

Too late to staircase?

I bought 25% of my house in 2014, no one on my little row of 4 SO houses has sold and so I don't know the value.

​

​

​

But I'm thinking have I left it too late to staircase and buy more as prices will have gone up so much? Currently rent is £502 and mortgage is £225.

​

​

​

I don't know whether it is better to reduce the mortgage term when it's time to renew - I could afford to go up to £350 a month - just thinking of the best way to come out with as much as possible when I sell to them be a deposit.

A relation?

Whenever my older brother sends me something through the post, this is how it's addressed.

He's 53 and I'm 50 next week and for as long as I remember he's always called me this.

I got him into listening to he podcast, so I'm waiting patiently for him to listen to yesterday's episode to see if I get a message!
