How to have a shower when it’s cold: 1. Get in the shower and wash 2. Finish washing, then spend an extra 10 minutes standing there and swivelling around so the hot water goes from one shoulder to the other, and gradually increase the temperature until it’s at boiling point 3.

This is utterly disgusting but sadly not in the least bit surprising 😔
A thread about being an unpaid carer while becoming seriously unwell yourself. Nine months of trying to plan, to do everything right. Now I’m in hospital — and it’s time to show what this really looks like. Sometimes you just don’t know what to say anymore 🧵

In 2015 we were bankrupted because big dairy said our milk; worth 27p in September was worth 15p in October then 9.7p by Spring. We had no control, and no way out without selling our cows We had a few cows we couldn’t sell to another dairy - the only route for them was direct

Dear fuck nuggets that buy fireworks. It's great that you have money to literally burn & that you don't give a shit about the wildlife & pets that you are scaring but I just want you to know that many people hate you & some may even hope you blow your fucking stupid fingers off!

Just watch this for a while and then decide if it’s worth the cost to have your bang bang penis replacements. If your answer is you still don’t care, then I’ll note that for future reference under ‘c’. https://t.co/pnNYlEXWQ7

Boy now I feel old, I remember this. We only lost one roof tile & most of the household slept through it. School was shut for weeks though!
Almost 40 years ago, the Great Storm of 1987 tore through Kent — the worst in nearly 300 years. Trees fell, roofs vanished, and the county woke to chaos. Do you remember where you were that night? 💨🌳 See some photos of the storm’s aftermath below 👇

This but also because banks are closing their branches. Bank staff who know customers really well and allow them to withdraw money by signing...this is happening. Another example of discrimination against those who can't use the Internet or digital items
Forced to share pins, left open to fraud! 1 in 5 with mental health conditions risk financial abuse by sharing pins as banks don't offer carers cards, 3rd party notifications or controls. We @mmhpi want to change that.Full info
