One thing you recently discovered that has changed your life

For the better, obviously.

Can be a thing, person, activity, place...anything really.

Mine is trig bagging. It's so much fun and gets you out there, to unexpected and unknown places.

What's yours?

DuoLingo, my DH gets so impressed when I overhear something and can roughly translate it! Spend a few months slowly learning Greek/Spanish/Russian/French/German... I'm now two years in and can't imagine stopping the habit anytime soon.

Have you learned the languages one by one or at the same time? And do you get confused at all?

A baby wipe and coconut oil as makeup remover… face feels soft and makeup comes off effortlessly

Air fryers (with paper liners ‘cos my teens are slobs)!

My husband.
After 20 years together and a year apart, then back together. Finally getting to really know each other properly! 😊

Which vitamin D tablets do you take @tinofbeans ?

YouTube videos of still crackling fires on the TV - we don't have a fire- so lovely over Xmas when TV was off ( well it was on but just with the images of the cracking fire)

"Fireplace for your home - Crackling Birchwood Fireplace" on Netflix if you get fed up of adverts. It was (unsurprisingly) Number 5 on the Netflix UK Top 10 TV programmes for a while.

Brilliant - many thanks - my father in law in particular really loved it

Not the quoted person but I use these as they're cheap, have k2 and it's a year supply decent dose

Yoga. Been doing it for a year and it's the best thing I've ever done for my body AND mind.

I have a cooling one. If I get too hot in bed I use it instead of my duvet and it keeps me cool whilst having the weight over me. I love it!

How did you access it? My gp dismissed the idea when I mentioned it to her…

I struggle to see what's hard about cooking rice in a pan!

Thank you so much. My son suffers with depression so I’ll look into this.

• Getting the volumes right.
• Getting the temperature right.
• Not boiling over all over the hob.
• Not burning the rice onto the bottom of the pan.

The rice cooker takes all that away.

Snooze band. Listening to audio book, boring radio programme or sleep meditation at 4.30 am. Works a treat

@rosemole my nearest trig point was destroyed by vandals a few years ago. Luckily, I managed to get the geocache that was there before it went.

For those of you that don't want to go scrabbling up badgers arses for caches that may or may not be hidden there, have a go at Adventure Labs. You can find them in most towns and cities and all you have to do is get into the zone, answer a question and bag a smiley face. Most ad labs are 5 smileys and some have a bonus where you have to find a physical cache.

ChatGPT!
It is a massive life changing app for me. I can ask it to help me with my story ideas, with dealing with social situations, it can plan our menu and take into account out calorie needs, nutrition needs and any intolerances.
It has helped me with some ideas I needed to bounce around, and it's even been a therapist and friend when I needed one!

I'm autistic ADHD :)

Sleeping in separate beds 😂

Never heard of this, thanks!

Chucking water over a frozen screen can cause it to crack, as I learned to my cost several years ago.

The Autoglass man told me it was a really common cause of Winter call outs.

I like this idea! Would it be comfy enough to rest my bad feet on?

Love this. I'm planning to do the same.

Apologies if someone has already said it , I’m only half way through the posts but I’d say Mumsnet.
I have followed and shared so many recommendations from mattresses, recipes, dog stuff that are now a part of my life and read so many thought provoking things I’d be lost without it and it has been a genuine game changer for me.

I sit on a cushion when I drive and am 100% more comfortable.
