Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I once went to a wedding where the father of bride started his speech, "On this day in 1912, the Titanic set sail from Southampton…" 021
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026My brother came home one day, talking about the delicious "soft margarines" he’d had at school. After a considerable about of time and effort my parents eventually figured it out. 001
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026FFS. Sometimes (nearly all the time, to be honest) I just can’t be bothered with nail varnish, and long nails get in the way of everything. It’s not that deep, but if anything I’m sticking it to the patriarchy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 100
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Last summer I had a delicious chicken chasni at an Indian restaurant in Pitlochery and I’ve been trying to find somewhere local that does it ever since, but I’m beginning to think that the place in Pitlochery is the one and only place that sells it. 100

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is the wrong part of the country for me but sounds like a good opportunity. But is there someone who knows how life in a sixth form college differs from life in a secondary school? I’ve always been tempted but would want to know more first. 100

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I am very grateful whenever colleagues cover my lessons. Of course I am. I would be even more grateful if they followed my instructions for the lesson rather than doing their own thing and leaving me to figure out that I still need to allow time to do the things I thought had already been done. 020

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Y11 student: do predicted grades matter and do our revision homeworks count towards them? Translation 1: I’m worried that this could be important and I want to do my best. Translation 2: I want to check that this isn’t important so I can get away with doing the minimum amount of work possible. 010

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 27/08/2026@hildur.bsky.social We were the (mad) tourists who went looking for northern lights near Krýsuvík! Unnur needn’t have worried though, because we hit fog so dense that we could no longer see the road ahead. All we could do was inch forward until suddenly we popped out in the open again. Terrifying! 230

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 26/08/2026My typical timings: Cut out - three days followed by a month off to recover. Construction of seam one - 15 mins to pin and repin, 30 seconds to sew, another day to recover. Repeat. Finding where I am in the pattern - 2 months and 3 hours. Ironing and hems - 2 weeks Loose ends - 5 hours 010
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Call from my bank’s fraud prevention team claiming they needed to check a potentially fraudulent payment (which was indeed one I hadn’t made). They’ll block my card and send a new one and in the meantime I need to check my balances and tell them of anything other payments I’m worried about. 1/ 100
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 22/08/2026What are the chances, do we think, that the press will have learned their lesson over Jason Arday and might consider not hounding Meghan for having the audacity to marry a British Prince whilst not being white? 000
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Helpfully, Currys took my money, blocked me from the website before I got any confirmation, then sent their customer service reps home for the night before I could find out whether my order has actually been placed or whether they’ve just run off with my money… 000
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Does anyone I know on here own a Remarkable e-notepad? Any thoughts? Worth the money? Smaller one seems easier for carrying around but would I regret not having a larger screen? 602

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I made another thing! First attempt at #quilting, so I’m pleased with how it’s gone and I enjoyed making it. However, I think we can all agree that precision is not exactly my strong point. 3131
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 16/08/2026The rawl plugs are in and I think they are the right fit. The only trouble now is that the right screws for the rawl plugs are too thick for the holes in the hook. I guess the curtains aren’t going back up just yet then… 000

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I couldn’t care less if Net Zero is the least popular policy ever - it HAS to happen. Climate change is REAL and it MATTERS and it has to start with fundamental changes at the highest levels of society. Me chucking that yogurt pot into recycling will never be enough. 150
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Please submit a response to this. The distress caused to pets and other wildlife is unnecessary. Safety would also be improved by banning the sale of fireworks to the general public, and the impact on the environment would be reduced. 120

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 14/07/2026See this is what happens when no one does anything about the kid taking a second bottle. Slippery slope. One day you’re taking a second bottle “for a friend”, ten years later you’re scoffing donuts on the netty. 000
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 14/07/2026More than once I have parked at the station for an early train and gone back to my car to check I locked it properly.

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I’ve seen this (exact 🤔) comment a few times now, and perhaps I’m being overly pedantic, but it’s perfectly possible to speak directly to anybody. The more important question, surely, is whether or not they received a response. 000
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I recently returned something to a company with my feedback, and while I expect other people may have had similar feedback in the past and they probably had plans to change things long before I said anything, *they actually did something about it*.static.klipy.comFriends: Rachel and Phoebe ReactALT: Friends: Rachel and Phoebe React 010

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 22/06/2026He probably wasn’t the right person to fight the next election, and he’s gone now, so not much to be done this time, but it’s ridiculous to say he was awful or the worst pm ever.

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Social media can be a wonderful thing too. The idea of putting together a list of the old, cold places was only floated a day or two ago and now here we are. Map form and everything. Save it for Tuesday in particular, I think. 011

Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Having not a single qualification in history, I may have misunderstood the subject totally. But surely it isn’t just about “event A happened” but about analysing evidence - what does source X tell us about event A, who wrote it, can it be trusted? Are we supposed to just ignore evidence now? 010
Chloe @chochlo.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I would far rather share my streets with immigrants, the vast majority of whom are normal, peace-loving, hard-working, decent people, than with the far right British thugs who’ll find any excuse to cause trouble, be violent, and literally burn down your house. 000
