Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's just a small electrical fault apparently, the engineer quoted £160, and long-term it will need doing anyway. I just feel kind of numb about everything because life just feels like a neverending volley of challenges that are technically small yet impossible for me to overcome without help. CS Lewis wrote in his book The Screwtape Letters that the way to break a human's spirit is to give them endless small challenges and frustrations and he's absolutely right.
I don't actually have any cash at all to get anything so i don't think I can get an air fryer but thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah that's what i kinda expected since you only just got the washer fixed, but still, something to keep in mind in case you manage to get some more donations together :/
I wish I could help but i basically have nothing right now and live on the endless grace of my partner who is starting a job that pays 70% of her former wage
Everyone's hard up and it seems like it's only going to get worse.
