Anything at all that you found whether it be a bargain or a life hack... feel free to share. I'll try to think of some too

CBD oil. Game changer for my anxiety and seems to have improved my IBS symptoms. Early days but well impressed .

@SuperFi which one pls? I'm trying Tripp with little noticeable impact but maybe strength is too low?

I use good rays. Much better than Trip.

I went to an inpost to post some Vinted parcels and I'm new to the Vinted game and assumed inpost was all digital... it wasn't and I had to print off labels and didn't realise. I don't have a printer at home but there was a Tescos so I printed photos of the labels and sellotaped them on. Has saved me a lot of trips to the library to use their printer!

You can change your postal carrier on Vinted to only allow the version of inpost where you don’t need to print a label.

Can I ask how it makes you feel? I know it's not a stoned feeling (I can't hack that), but is it just...calm? I think I'm in early peri (runs in my family 🥴), and my sleep is abysmal. Nothing works.

ChatGPT. It has absolutely changed my life. Mostly professional, but I'm using it for personal stuff too. Game changer.

💯 this also in education

so many years struggling with my weight and constantly yo-yoing. 7 weeks in and the weight is dropping off despite a very busy lifestyle. I love that everything in my wardrobe fits me and that I’m not constantly thinking about food -it’s honestly freed up a lot of time

What do you use the water for?

Drinking. I can't bear anything else now. We re mineralize every third jug with Baja salt.

When I have my morning coffee I've started voice journalling about what I want to achieve during the day, rather than scrolling. I have ADHD and this is helping me focus. A lot!

@GreengrassofW This is such a wonderful idea! Can I ask what you use to support this?

A water distiller. The stinking yellow, gritty, chemical soup that is left at the bottom is something to behold.

Hi ... I started using a 4 litre water distiller over ten years ago.
All these years later, it still disgusts me to see & smell the disgusting deposits in the bottom of the distiller.

The only thing that frustrates me about my counter top machine, is that it doesn't last very long, probably go through an average of one per year, but having said that, it's in use daily... should I expect them to last longer.
May I ask you where you buy yours from and at what price?

If you don't already know, please don't ever decant the distilled water into a plastic bottle... distilled water "pulls", so will pull the toxins fro a plastic bottle into the water.
Always use glass.

Microwaveable hot water bottle. I get to sleep much quicker in winter now.

@desidi can you remind me how to do this please? I’ve forgotten.

I found a canned alcoholic ginger beer at a local market, bloody delicious and waaayyy nicer than the usual crabbies. No nasties in it either which makes me feel like it's semi healthy!

Add a dash of rum to it and chefs kiss. Love it so much I get 12 cans delivered each month as a little treat😂

It helps me plan lessons by making resources/worksheets; it writes emails for me; I can upload my handwritten lesson observations notes and it types it up as a fluid email; it can generate photos of exactly what I want to represent an idea; it can create schedules, reports, do calculations... it has honestly halved my work load. I feed it the info, it does the hard work, then I edit it to make it exactly what I want. I'd never go back!

I’m envious of your ability to use tech.

Is this just an iPhone function? I can't find this on my Android phone

Vicks First Defence nasal spray. Absolute game changer. Saved me from a good 2 weeks of snotty misery earlier this month.

And going off at complete tangent, the band The Virginmarys. We 'discovered' them last year and haven't stopped playing their music since. The new album is bloody amazing if you like all things rock.

What what what?! Can you recommend a brand, please?

I bought a new Christmas tree recently, a three foot pre-lit one. It runs on a battery pack. For me it's revolutionary, no more being restricted by where I put it! No more extension cables! I just need to buy more batteries, however.
