God help me I thought you were both talking about the vibrator called a “magic wand”
Omg this sounds awful! I know one of my tonsils is really bad the doctor told me I need to go straight to get the antibiotics and start them ASAP and it's a 10 day course.Gargling with salt water can help too as well as lots of rest. It's important if it doesn’t begin to improve after a couple of days to go back, also if it effects breathing/swallowing.
I had it really badly in 2018, gp surgery wouldn’t let me be seen until I couldn’t speak or breathe, luckily I had a gp appointment a couple of days later as unbeknown to me it had spread (black spots on roof of mouth signified that), and, was beginning to effect breathing and speaking. I was on different antibiotics for about six weeks. I was told to gargle with salt water and try the difflam spray and rest lots as I refused to go to hospital.
Tonsillitis twins!!I’ve currently got it, must be doing the rounds but this bout is awful! Second the difflam spray, I can’t use it currently as I’m pregnant but when I’ve used it before it’s been a life saver in terms of numbing the pain. And lots of ice lollies/yoghurts help I find. Hope you feel better soon![]()
really sorry to read thisI need help and advice.
Me and my boyfriend broke up last night after 3 years. It’s been ongoing for a few weeks to be honest, that started with an argument at the start of June and him taking his stuff back to his home. I messaged him and asked him over to talk last week and told him the reason in the message was I wanted him over because I missed him and I truly felt we could work on things. He immediately messaged back and said yes, let’s talk, and asked when he could see me. He came over, I cooked dinner, we didn’t get into the subject of ‘us’ as we were just having a lovely time and talking/laughing like we usually do. Around 11pm he said he needed to go but he bought up that we hadn’t spoken about ‘us’ and said maybe I should make some notes on my phone for prompts and he’ll come over again. He came over last night, I had prompts, I told him I missed him, I regretted us ending, I see my faults and I want to work on us etc. He basically said he’d hit a wall with things, didn’t have the energy for the relationship and didn’t want to try. We talked for hours, hugged, I cried. I’m so confused as to why he agreed to talk?! And prompted that we didn’t talk and insisted he come over again… when actually he was still on the same page he was as before?! What was he expecting from us talking? What did he think I was going to say? I’d already told him in my initial message the reasons why.
That was last night. Yes, it’s raw. I start a new job Monday. It’s a huge career jump and I’m petrified. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat and I can’t focus. How can I focus next week? Please give me any help.
Thank you. Everything feels very grey right now. I will take your advice.really sorry to read thisi think that was quite a cruel thing for him to do. Surround your self with friends and family, do something nice for your self at the weekend before your new job. I’d also block him. In terms of eating and sleeping, eat little and often and i’d take some night nurse if you don’t need to get up in the morning.
good luck with the new job![]()
it will get better it just takes time, try focus on your new job.Thank you. Everything feels very grey right now. I will take your advice.
i’d take it as a positiveI had an interview for an internal role yesterday - I’ve worked with one of the interviewers before - he emailed me after to say well done & that I did a good job
Is that a good sign or is it a bit consolation -y? What would you thinkthanks
I’d take it positive. Most don’t take the time to email you after especially if they’ve had to interview a few peopleI had an interview for an internal role yesterday - I’ve worked with one of the interviewers before - he emailed me after to say well done & that I did a good job
Is that a good sign or is it a bit consolation -y? What would you thinkthanks

your not meant to but wether anyone will do anything is a different matter. Mine catches next door and i had to submit footage before and no one said anything. I also used to live in a flat and someone had their door bell pointed at my door only despite it being intercom and then a second intercom to get to our two flats.. it used to film straight into my flat. I rang 101 and they couldn’t do anythingDoes anyone know the rules around CCTV/Ring doorbells? Mine shows mine and my neighbours front gardens/pathways. Is this legal? They haven't said anything about it and to be quite honest they're the reason I got one in the first place![]()
Nope. Entirely reasonable. And if they can’t accommodate such a totally normal request then would you want to work somewhere so inflexible?!Kind of reassurance rather than advice
I was invited to a job interview next week and I can’t do the date they’re giving and I didn’t list that date on the section “please state any dates you can’t do” because at the time of applying (I didn’t know I wouldn’t be free.
Anyways, I emailed back asking if they had any flexibility on the date as the day before would be better. I haven’t had a response and honestly I’m over thinking it and worrying they’ll think I’m being difficult![]()
Agree with Carapop! They’ll expect things like this to happen. If they don’t get back to you by mid afternoon tomorrow, I’d give them a ring if they’ve given a number but you’re defo not being demanding. If anything it shows you’re keen and deal w unforeseen circumstances wellKind of reassurance rather than advice

This sucks and I’ve been there. Honestly the best thing I did was allow myself to be miserable and then I gave myself the weekend to do lovely things and make myself feel extra fabulous for starting work- my friend and I got our nails done, I gave my hair a bouncy blow dry, picked out all my clothes for the week, and got lots of yummy food for lunches and teas so I didn’t have to think on it the following week whilst screeching power ballads. Feel the feelings but don’t let them take over, you’re writing a new chapter, it’s his loss he’s not in itI need help and advice.

Nah. You’re conscientious and caring and likely incredibly empathetic. You keep being you. But share your concerns so you know when you need to worry and when you don’t!Thanks @Carapop & @greenvelvet (congrats on the new job!)They got back to me with a much more suitable time and were understanding about it! I have to stop being an overthinker!
