I’m honestly struggling to find what is so hilarious about it. You nearly ended up with a police caution for it. No need at all to send it to her family and i’d be going mad too. You should have blocked him months ago, in fact you just look complicit in it all by keep allowing it to happen yet are taking the moral high ground for messaging her family?
He was blocked on everything I had him on, he found me on social media i didn’t have him on and didn’t think he would come looking but he did and then messaged me out the blue 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t find the whole situation funny but I do find funny is the police woman’s reaction to the situation.
no need to to message the family but when I have no other means to message his girlfriend I’m gonna go through to the family to let them know what’s happening.

Having an ingrown nail removed next week. I’ve been told to wear open toe/loose shoes, but I have really sweaty feet and struggle with flipflops/sandals.
Any suggestions?

Have to be comfy and easy to walk in as will be going to Liverpool a few days after for our anniversary.

Thanks 😊
A cork bed Birkenstock type? Maybe an espadrille woven sole type? Less sweaty than rubber.

I wish we'd had the option of this one looks good!. I'm not going to lie the clues were pretty difficult so the bigger your team the better, a bit like geocaching. The best part was seeing everyone walking around dressed in costume.
Thanks, I think there's only going be 4 of us, but looking forward to trying it, did yours take you long to complete or was quite a bit of walking? Am curious to know if they keep the areas close together or spread them out a fair bit, our towns quite small but the parks a far walk out

Question: can patients (in uk so nhs) be refused care if they say no to students being involved/responsible for treatment/care assessments via council? I’ve a rare condition that they are not trained in and know nothing about so it’s just being asked all the time how to spell it and then them, wrongly, assuming it’s ‘just’ ME. I’ve been asked to attend a social services assessment but it will only be with a student. If I don’t then no help will be offered.

When first diagnosed I did help with training but it badly effected my mental health always explaining, by the time I’d finished appointments were over.

Any ideas?!
I would check if it is actually only a student they should have a supervisor at all times. In healthcare you can always say no, I assume the same would apply with the council. I’m a bit confused though as your NHS care wouldn’t be dependent on any social services/council assessment.

Does anyone know any websites you can input your sizes and it’ll tell you what bra size you are? I’ve been wearing the same size since I had my son 8 years ago and I’m sure it’s wrong 😂 I’ve not fully measured myself in years but I jeep getting bad back and I’m sure it’s because I’m wearing the wrong bra size

I have a question about birthday presents and relatives… when do I stop being expected to buy birthday presents for nieces and nephews? My niece is 20 coming up and we don’t see her, we’re not close. Am thinking token present this year and next yr for her 21st then cards from then on?
I stopped getting presents after my 18th, a card is nice after that but I wouldn’t expect it.

OH paid a plumber to do some work. He did half a job and said he would be back the following day. Never arrived and said he got his days mixed up and he would be here Sunday. Again, never turned up. OH rang him yesterday and he said he can’t get here but he would call today. Not turned up again and ignoring my husbands text. We’ve paid up front for this - any way we can get our money back at all? 🤦🏻‍♀️
Unless you have a contract then sadly I think you might be screwed, without paperwork then it's a your word/his word thing an he could easily just say he's done an take your money

You could talk with citizens advice, but again if this was all done just by agreement then there's nothing legally you can do, you could also put online that you paid an he never done anything to try an see if that will get him to pay some money back but be very careful with wording so it doesn't backfire

But next time it's best to get some contract formed an signed, if anything goes wrong like this then you have that to fall back on as you could do a small courts claim

Thanks for your message. He's vulnerable in the sense that I think he is undiagnosed on the autism spectrum, just the way he is makes me think that. I have a feeling he may have 'love bombed' her, and doesn't want to lose her, so goes along with whatever she wants. One of my brothers lived with them both during lockdown and apparently she was super controlling, not letting him finish sentences etc, that was before he sold his house. His behaviour has changed since he has met her, he has given up a lot of his interests, and it's always her way or no way.
My siblings don't like her.. they get on with her, but only for my Dad's sake. They've tried talking to my Dad as well and he just brushes them off.

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, she works from home and they both live in a flat. They both live out of the area now, about 1 hr drive away. I suppose I could 'pop in', or arrange a walk when she's working or something, I might suggest that to him actually. I think he would time it with his partner's work/lunch time and ask her along too though, which makes it super awkward because I don't then want to say 'Actually, I was wondering if my Dad could come on his own...' 😬
They've made quite a few big purchases since my Dad sold his house, which makes me wonder whether it is what he really wants. He's had her whole flat redecorated, new flooring etc and they're just about to fit a new kitchen.. I have no idea what their arrangement is either, whether he pays her rent, or helps with bills, or even whether his name is on the mortgage (highly doubt it, as he's retired).
I feel like if they were to split up, he'd have nothing - no house, and little money. :(
that is a very tricky situation. Does he have any friends? I think i would honestly bite the bullet and tell them you want to see your dad alone then yiu can re asses the situation after the response you get. I don’t think that would be an unreasonable request from you x

Glad people have helped you! Can’t believe the landlord took the instructions. Unhelpful 😂
I think they thought they were doing me a favour by getting rid of the packaging which they were but I was like… I’ve got no instructions 😂😂
 
Did you ever ask before or ask how to expense your phone calls/toner/postage seeing as they made other arrangements for your old colleague and now your temp replacement? I’m not saying what’s happening isn’t unfair to a degree but sometimes managers aren’t the brightest folks!
I asked about a phone during covid and got told to use my own, I said to my colleague how come my replacement is getting a phone and the response I got back was when you come back you can have her phone. I just don’t think it’s fair that the last nearly 6 years there has been this expectation I had to be in the office a lot never got given these options and all of a sudden they have hired my maternity cover and she gets given these things straight away. I was always expected to juggle childcare yet my supervisor spent months at home because she got a dog!

Can anybody please tell me wtf has bitten me and how to ease it? It’s absolutely killing (I gave birth 3 months ago and I’d rather go through that again right now 😂). There was no culprit at the scene!

I think it's just windows office she's got, it's the first job in years that's been a desk job for me so I've been trying to slowly get used to windows again since it's updated a bit since I last used it
When you open the image what program is being used? For example MS Office Picture Manager?

Absolutely don't recommend a service like that. I've tried it and my friend has tried it and it's super hit and miss. I asked for a jumper to be included in my selection and all they sent were 5 different jumpers. Was a complete waste of time.

John Lewis has a PA you can book. They are very good and work within your budget. I've cheated a little before when I used them by letting her pull clothes and help me style outfits and then I've gone and bought it cheaper else where once I knew what styles to buy
Thanks, I don’t really have time to spend with a service like that unfortunately and no JL locally.

Could really do with a thread for homeware, like decent finds and bargains, where to go for good quality etc, for example my DFS sofa is 14 years old and we love it but it’s time to change and now I hear only horror stories about the brand, but have got no idea where to go for a decent quality and comfortable sofa these days!
Next! We have 2 fabric ones. Really comfortable, keep their shape well. Ours are 4 years old and look brand new. We've got 3 boisterous kids who flying jump rather than sit and they've survived.
