Wakey wakey! It's Friday morning, time to get up and face the day. What's it looking like for you?
One last slog to get through before the weekend?
Bunking off early for a long weekend away?
Desperate for 5 minutes peace from the kids?
Come and have a natter x
Is this the greatest X-ray department ever?
Whoever decorated it deserves a raise.
I was going to put this in the carsUK sub but that sub feels too car-specific for this.
What do you think when you see a "baby on board" sign or some variation? I'm in a disagreement with my mum over whether they make people more or less considerate/patient etc. I have a baby and wanted to get a sign but my mum reckons a BoB sign has the same effect on other road users as green P plates.
Edit - thanks for all of the different perspectives, i think i will save my pennies and do without!
No, I didn’t realise they were Pizza flavour until after I’d eaten them. I didn’t think to check beforehand, because why on earth would there be flavoured crumpets?
Also seems like he stopped off in Turkey on the way there
I went for my eye test a few days ago and I got my new prescription. The cheapest glasses they could offer me was £150 which includes photochromics (turns dark in sunlight). I usually never go for this however last year I went Pakistan to attend a few family functions and bought myself prescription glasses with anti glare and photochromics for £5 and realised I now can't live without this feature since it's so handy.
The cheapest one I have seen is on glassesdirect for around £45 for each pair.(Including NHS and student discounts) I was wondering has anyone ordered from glassesdirect or if anyone recommends any other websites it would be much appreciated.
I gave blood yesterday, all went fine and hemoglobin levels were spot on. This morning I booked another appointment for November and I've just had a notification telling me it's been cancelled. The email said it could be any number of reasons, including problems with the location. But I've just logged in and it says:
'Extended waiting period -
We need you to wait until 18th February 2027 to donate.
If this is wrong or you would like further information please call 0300 123 23 23.'
That tells me it's something medical.
Could they have picked up something in the screening of yesterday's donation?
I should add that I've rang them and they don't have that info available as they 'just book the appointments' and someone will need to call me, but they said that could take up to a week. Has anyone experienced something similar?
Edit: I think this testing of the blood for low iron after donation needs to be clarified. Everything I'm reading says that iron levels/red blood cell size are definitely not tested after donation. But this is being contracted by personal experience. Is this definitely a thing in the UK that iron levels/red blood cell size are tested for post donation? Any clarification would be very much appreciated.
Why am I posting in r/tea? Because I googled and saw someone else asking for help regarding their Whittard of Chelsea cup. I don't know what else to say - I'm desperate.
I bought this cup just recently on Ebay and had it sent to my friend in London because I am overseas. The package was delivered but STOLEN before he could grab it. This stupid mug NEVER shows up on Ebay. I've NEVER had stuff stolen or even known a friend who has. The ONE time in years that it shows up on Ebay and that's the package a lowlife thieving neighbor of my friend decides to grab. This mug cost like 12 quid when it first came out and here I am offering almost ten times that. I'm absolutely livid about this because it completes a collection. I want to take a hammer to the rest of the series right now and just sit in the corner and cry. If anybody has this design, new or used, I WILL BUY IT FROM YOU. The particular design is called "Painting the Roses" - I have searched online everywhere and I can't find it. Please, I am asking for r/tea's assistance here. Let me find some peace.
Right, so it's mid week. Happy hump day and all that, but why aren't you in bed? Neighbours putting their bins out keeping you awake? Kids being little shits? Working the nightshift?
Come on in for a chat.
Bit of rain the past few days, sunny today but a high of only 21C and a nice breeze. Went on a good 4 mile dog walk earlier and the grass is starting to become green again! What a fantastic day. It's crazy how little energy I had over summer and how inactive the heat made me. I really don't understand why some people enjoy the heat so much.
Very well camouflaged between my curtains.
I got her in a box and took her to some flowerpots.
I’ve just seen the post about someone wanting a few pebbles from a beach to commemorate a deceased relative.
It got me thinking of my brothers and I surreptitiously spreading the ashes of first my dad and then my mum in a well-known beauty spot, one of their favourite places so they could be together.
Have you scattered a loved one's ashes in an unusual (or unusual) place?
