Basically global warming, negative impacts of non sustainable practices stress me out, even more at the moment. I’d say I could call myself a sustainable person, I shop at bulk stores where possible, I don’t eat meat, I always try to reduce waste, anything that has either a reusable, zero waste, environmentally friendly replacement I have it and it’s just stressing me out that there’s actually people out there that don’t care about the impact their actions have, I’m starting to struggle with managing  the stress it’s causing so wondered if anyone else has found themselves in a similar situation and how they handle it 

I currently have blonde ombré and I’m getting my hair dyed brown, my hair dresser said I’ll need to use shampoo and conditioner that doesn’t strip hair colour once it’s dyed, what are some good products I could use? Also what’s the best way to prep my hair before so that the colour will stick to the bleach as best as it could? She said the blonde will gradually come back through and it will need a few goes with the dye 

I remember an Xbox game I used to really love playing but cannot remember what it was called this is the best way I can remember to describe it, you design a world  in really great detail you start off by choosing what type of ground you want and you can add rivers, mountains and you can add buildings and characters and when you’ve finished making your world you play through it like a story, you can add goblins as enemies and you have like magic spells and stuff, if anyone can tell me what this game is I’d greatly appreciate it!

I’m trying to go as zero waste as I can, unfortunately I know how limited this can make food shopping so with stuff like that o try to just make sure the packaging is recyclable. I want to know what reusable products people have bought that have actually been better than the one use items that have been replaced

I think about ways to be more eco friendly a lot and something dawned on me today, I got myself some dairy free butter but saw palm oil on the ingredients, what’s worse dairy free butter that has palm oil or regular dairy butter? Another one is milk, I often opt almond milk for dairy I’m not even vegan I just like the idea of it so try to make swaps where I can, but recently found out the negative impact from the manufacturing of almond milk has on the environment, so what’s worse regular milk or almond milk?

I’m a health care worker so I can get testing for covid now even without symptoms but can I get tested more than once I’ve got a test soon, say it comes out negative can o get tested again even if I still don’t have symptoms?

My cat is pretty old she started going to toilet indoors so we got her a litter tray, she uses it quite a lot but occasionally she won’t , for some reason whenever she doesn’t use it it’s either the kitchen sides or the bath, how do we stop her from doing this is there anything we can spray the sides and the bath with, we don’t want to shut all the doors and restrict where she goes in case it’s stresses her out, she goes out a fair bit as well but I’m guessing because of her old age she doesn’t really think of where to go anymore 

My and my boyfriend are about half way through saving up for pit mortgage, I’d love to know some tips from people who have experience in buying a house, or even how to buy everything you need and any extra deposits you need to pay, I’m in the uk 

I’m not sure what the best solution is for my hair, I have dyed blonde hair, I get dandruff and scalp acne, I need to use purple shampoo for my blonde but I need to use anti dandruff shampoo and I’m not sure how to treat the acne I don’t know if the acne will go on it’s own if I get on top of the dandruff, I tried alternating anti dandruff shampoo and my purple shampoo but that was making my hair go yellow and not keeping the dandruff at bay because I wasn’t using both of them enough, does anyone know if there’s any anti dandruff shampoo for blonde or coloured hair? 

My dipped headlight keeps going off and coming on again, it’ll work for a bit then it’ll stop working then start working again, I’ve taken it to my dealer because thats where they said to take it if anything goes wrong, they got an engineer to look at it he said there’s nothing wrong with the bulb, by this point it was working again but a few days later it went out again, they told me to bring it back in if it happens again so I did and someone else looked at it, they can’t work out why, they gave it a bang and it started working again but went out again the next day, they think something is lose but don’t know what, has this happen to anyone else or does anyone know what’s wrong with it

My nephew is 4 and has quite severe ASD (autistic spectrum disorder) my sister only wants him to get wooden toys for Christmas I was going to get him something that lights and is very sensory but I can’t do that now he likes cars but he has loads ad likes lining things up does anyone know any good wooden toys that are good I’m looking to find something that he can use his fine motor or he likes things he can fiddle with as things you don’t have to play with a certain way if anyone knows any websites or places I can get stuff like this that’d be really helpful

I hate my sister. This isn’t just a little bit of sibling bickering she’s just a horrible person she’s 17 nearly 18 and I’m 21, I’m hoping it’s just her age but a good way to describe her would be nasty, selfish, arrogant, spiteful and a lot more, she takes my things, I know this is a pretty universal sibling problem but she just takes it to far, she’s taken, clothes, underwear, makeup, money pretty much anything I buy she’s so bad my bf has said he doesn’t want to get me any clothes or makeup or anything like that for Christmas cause he knows she’ll take it she’s rude every night she’s on face time until gone midnight when I ask her repeatedly not to cause I have work and all I get is shut the f*ck up or pipe down or anything else along them lines (we share a room🙃) she’s constantly telling me to move out when I don’t think she knows how much that actually costs she’s just a nasty person and I don’t actually feel bad for saying I don’t like her I don’t think you should have to get on with someone just because you’re related but whilst I do have to live with her I was wondering if anyone is in a similar place and what they do to help them stay sane 🙃

A stranger recently approached me and asked me to text his friend to phone him, normally I would just say no but I was in a position I was comfortable in, it was dark and I was on my own at a bus stop so I just wanted him to go away really, so o text his friend asking what he said and he just said thank you and walked off but I’m worried about what he could do with my number now his friend has it, I’ve blocked the number but can they hack into anything now they have it?

On Snapchat you have different emojis next to people’s names like this emoji 😊 when you’re on each other’s best friend list but I’ve got this emoji 😁 next to 2 people’s names but can’t find what it means

My boyfriend broke up with me last week and we had a talk yesterday about why and stuff he said it’s because he felt like I always wanted to be with him and if he told me he couldn’t see me the way I reacted would annoy him, he said he needs some time to himself, we didn’t see each other much maybe once or twice a week in the evening, he said he understands why I got annoyed, I explained I was trying to improve my mood and stuff and said I wish he told me about these things earlier so we could’ve worked on them, when he did break up with me we was both really up set and he said he feels really bad and he’s sorry and doesn’t want me to hate him, when we spoke about it yesterday he said he’s not promising anything but maybe we could get back together in the future, what should I do to make that a higher chance?

Me and my boyfriend are on a break, when he told me we were both crying and he said he was really sorry and he didn’t want me to hate him, he was holding my hand the entire time and said he just needs some time to himself and time to think, I asked him if we will be together again and he said I don’t know, we haven’t spoken only I asked him what he wanted me to do and he said he doesn’t want me to do anything and said he’s out at the moment and doesn’t want to get into a state in public and said speak soon, where do you think this is heading for an actual break up of if he just needs sometime away

I work with a little boy who has cerebral palsy, he’s 2 but very small around 50-60 cm tall and very slim, he has trouble lifting his head and has to sit on laps all the time because we can’t find a suitable chair for him so if anyone knows of anywhere that does chairs for disabled toddlers that’d be really helpful thanks!

My boyfriend of just over a year seems to be feeling really down on himself atm it’s since he started this new course and has had to spend most of his time doing work, at first I thought he just didn’t want to see me but I’ve realised he’s just got to do this work but recently the tiniest thing he does to make me a bit upset he just gets really down and said he doesn’t think he’s making me happy, I’ve told him he is and we’ve had this conversation a few times on how we can both make each other happy and compromise a bit but he just gets really down all the time now, I think it might be stews from this work and trying to make me happy at the same time he thinks he’s doing an awful job so he just gets upset but I’m trying to tell him that I’m fine and he’s not doing anything wrong but he just keeps getting upset.

My boyfriend was playing Football and accidentally tripped another player up whilst tackling, this other player punched him in the face, head butted him and stamped on his leg, what would the league do about that?

When I was little (I m 19 now) I used to have dreams about this black dog that would be looking for me and every time it found me I would fall on the floor and wake up, I don t have these anymore that stopped years ago but I never found out why I would have them or what could have made them stop
