The advice thread for random problems #3

[stardust1]

Ok, well definitely try PALs. Hopefully the surgeon isn’t senior to the others can’t have an impact on any care. Apologies for mentioning travel, I’m very rural and forget how different things are here!

You may want to complain about his comments re ‘gods plan’. I’m a Christian and when I worked in a hospital and was having treatment for one of my issues a consultant suggested prayer - I knew him, we attended the same church and went to the same bible study and prayer group at that time, a nurse told me to formally complain about his ‘behaviour’. I didn’t, he wasn’t being offensive as he knew my circumstances, every Christian at that time was aware of never mentioning their faith in work (can’t remember why) but the nurse did and he ended up leaving.

Good luck.

thank’s for the response, it’s all a bit strange for me to comprehend especially as someone who doesn’t follow a religion. I appreciate others do but for my self I struggle to see how ‘god will fix it’ it is quite irritating especially when the appointments always end with no one actually fixing the problem. He used to say he was praying for us but I’m not sure his prayers have been answered yet as we are in a worse situation haha!

in terms of him being senior I think he is top dog in his speciality but his speciality is one of the things that is not causing any issues. I have been researching it and there’s actually a lady who specialises in the after care even writ a book. I would love just a quick phone call to discuss medication options, the last thing I want is anyone to get in trouble because the actual surgery wen’t extremely well! It is a bit of a pain in the bum because the medication could be done by the GP but they say he is too complex and to go via surgeonx

i’m in the airport, thought i was pissed before lunch time and had lost the plot

Thanks i really appreciate. Glad it’s over but I’m sure they’re gonna feel absolutely stupid when the police officer phones them she was fab and understanding I think it’s something they must get often as she seem to have had a light bulb moment in the middle of the conversation say when explained the situation

Nah I’ll message her again if he ends up messaging me again she may not want to know but I rather give her the information then she can decide what she wants to do with it. Leaving it alone will make him think he can keep doing it and it’s no wonder cheating is normalised that’s days.
He hasn’t even hurt me I’m being the bigger person by letting her know what he’s doing while she’s out shopping and I’m letting him know he can’t get one over on me least she knows he’s mugging her off and she needs to keep tabs on him

Cheating hasn't been normalised so unsure were you have got that from. You've told her and now it's up to her what she wants to do. Why would you then message her again. You are coming across now as obsessed sorry. Why is it up to you to tell her. She's an adult I presume so let her live her life if she wants to stay with him that's her decision

Not so much a problem but more advice, going down to Blackpool in a few weeks time, we are leaving from central Scotland

Is there anywhere we could stop off that's nice for lunch? Or even a wander around, we will have more or less the full day to do whatever, my dad isn't fond of the service stop off places because of price so looking for somewhere along the motorway we could pull off an go see, it will be a Sunday we are driving down

Hi. Please make sure you hand it in to court before the eviction date. On the form you should state you want the eviction stayed until the outcome of your application.

Once you hand in the form and the case is listed for a hearing, it will be up to the court to decide if the eviction goes ahead or not. At the hearing you will be given a chance to speak, as will your landlord. You should explain why you have got into the arrears. As there is an eviction date, this means the landlord had already started the court process for the arrears and there would have been a hearing before. You need to explain why you could not keep to any court order made before. You need to provide the court with a payment plan to pay off the arrears. If there have been any medical reasons or loss of jobs etc, do take the evidence with you to the hearing (and attach to the N244 if you have not handed it in already).

Gretna Green ?

We will probably stop off here, but there might be time to do somewhere else as well, hotel isn't going let us in till around 3 an I think that's the soonest we can get in their car park as well so we might be able to stop off at a few places

I found Penrith quite charming. Don't know how out of the way that would be for you?

Me again, random question, my dad has been watching all these YT videos about people getting Amazon return mystery boxes an wants to try it but I cannot see where they are getting them from, am assuming most of these YT vlogs are fake but does this actually exist? I can see a few mystery boxes but it's either toys or make up, I can't see anything about getting a "returns" mystery boxes themselves

I think you can buy them as a business but it seems to be an American thing. I haven’t heard anything like that in the UK, in fact it seems like they'd rather destroy the stuff bc then it's a tax writeoff

 

[CoffeeMamma]

No you can get them in the U.K. but they tend to be single parcels so it’s highly unlikely you’ll get anything of any resell value

 

[Snippysnips]

Thanks, honestly am tempted to just get one an hope it's rubbish so he will stop going on about them lol, but I just didn't know if you got them or not

My local charity shop has a load of Amazon returns. They’re all in crappy packaging so you have to look through. They’re not bad stuff but from what I see, but it’s lots of the same things. Maybe 40 galaxy 7 cases, a bunch of those hair removal shaving stones, the odd swim nappy or wet vest, travel pillows, exercise bands, random bits etc kinda pointless stuff. Useful no doubt, but not valuable unless you could be arsed to list it on eBay for a few pounds.

There’s a video on YouTube about how to get them I’ll see if I can find a link for you

I know you can buy pallets from the like sof amazon and john lewis. But the issue is they qre more often a load of crap that an individual will strugfle to unload.
Could you fake it? Buy a load of tat from poundland and wrap it. It will soon out him off

I might try that actually? Honestly I don't know what he's expecting, there's absolutely no way people are getting phones an tablets etc, I've told him those are clearly fake but as soon as he gets some idea in his head he's like a child an won't stop going on about it

This is so embarrassing and I cannot believe I’m going to post this lmao. I swear to god I am a functioning adult

Landlord has put in a new oven and taken all the packaging etc. including the instructions so now I don’t know how to use my oven it’s a grill and oven with the hob on top - I can figure out the hobs lol! (in my defence here: the old oven had a different style dial and the oven at my parents I just knew to flick it 1 way forward as it’s been the same since I was a kid but the 1 first picture on this one doesn’t look the same as the first picture on this oven)

can someone please tell me what these mean and which one is the bog standard oven function

Might be worth googling the model, most manuals are online now. The lines indicate where the heat is coming from. The lines on top and bottom are oven, the top line only is likely to be the grill unless you have a separate dial for that.
