The advice thread for random problems #3

Appreciate we’re months away but I’m going to be asked about this soon… Christmas- a family member has been nasty about my little one (nearly 5 months old). She hates kids and sadly this has translated to my little one and she’s let me know her feelings.

Side note - who BEHAVES like this?!
This is a 5 month old baby?!

 

[JoeBloggs]

I am going to go out on a limb here, but if you are having a child free wedding and someone asks if they can bring their baby it is a real frustration and I can get why she was annoyed. Maybe she is having difficulties, or her MIL is putting pressure on her and that's why she gives off the 'I hate kids' vibe. I get she is her sister, but you've had a baby so maybe she can't speak to you about how she feels so she distances herself on purpose.

How do you report an app for being a scam?

A few weeks ago I was introduced to a quiz app where you answer questions each day and the person who gets the most right in the fastest time wins money. The person who recommended it had won 3 times and received the cash so I figured I’d give it a go….. first try I won, which was suspiciously lucky, but sure enough I received the funds to my PayPal same day so carried on. You have to watch a lot of adverts throughout, which I think is how they generate an income. Players all have a ranking and score to show how many questions they’ve correctly answered, and you can also see how much they’ve won in total. When I joined the prize was £10, a few weeks later it changed to £50, but since the change each morning now I’m waking up to find that the winner is always a mysterious brand new profile who is ranked #5 in the world but only 30 points… basically a fake profile. The creator has a profile in his own name that has won a few times too. It’s quite obviously rigged to avoid paying out, and looking at the details on the app it’s written in a really crude way; for example the rules state that players “don’t be dumb” a bunch of times. It’s really annoyed me that someone is scamming like this, but I’ve got no clue if it’s something I can report or to where

My ex annoys me so much. He always has to be ‘extra’ with money and spoiling the kids . It annoys me that he still annoys me. How do I let it go and just care less about his behaviour.

Oh he's a Disney dad!. Grit your teeth .. honestly the kids will see it when they are older. I bet he's making up for a lack of something with them. They will see it in the end I promise.

Anyone know what this style of coat is called? I really like it but not the collar, I'd prefer if it was just a normal coat collar, but I don't know the style to do a search

Thanks, typed it in an getting similar styles, I have never heard of that before

You’re welcome glad you found your style

Thanks, looks like perhaps the models are wearing something under it to make it flare out like that, an images are being photoshopped so wondering if I do manage to get one how easy it will be to put something under it on the coat to make it that way

Try skirt coat too. I like this style.

I would call it a ladies frock coat or flared coat. It’s the structure of the coat that makes it flare out so don’t worry re underneath.

 

[Snippysnips]

Thanks, apparently skater coat works too, I love the style but have never had one, am just worried it will sit flat, the flare with give it the illusion it's a bit shorter than it is which is what I need for my height since they are all probably a bit long for my preference

Had this electricity problem in my home off and on for the last 5 years.
Sometimes the supply is fine for a year or few months and then the problem just starts up again without me doing anything different.
It overloads and the switch in the main box will trip. Previously when a bulb popped, it's own individual switch in the box would trip so I knew what the problem was. With this problem I have now though it's always the main switch.
I can't use my fridge as the electricity will trip after a few hours even when I have it on the lowest cool settings. I don't have a cooker but I suppose if I did the same thing would happen. It seems to overload the electric supply. It takes hours afterwards for my supply to be good enough to power any appliance again in my home and I'm worried for winter when my electric heaters will be on.
Even though I've not had my fridge on, days later the electric still trips, sometimes a couple of times a day, though on these occasions I can switch it back on and my small appliances stay powered (as long as no big appliances are switched on).
Its making me very paranoid thinking the electricity company are limiting my supply due to net zero. Bills have tripled, they're also helping themselves to hundreds of pounds from me under the pretence is for my benefit for when more electric is used in winter. I did not give them consent to do this.
I've recently had an electrician in who says he couldn't see anything wrong with the wiring in the house and I've unplugged everything and gradually plugged them in again but yet the same irregular but regular pattern of the supply carries on
Helllllllppppppppppp!!!!!!!

I’d get a second opinion from another electrician. My dads been an electrician for 50 years (just retired) and he always said if it trips there’s definitely an issue within the electrics you just need to find out what’s causing it to trip. The wiring could be completely fine but the item itself now faulty causing it to trip so the electrician should’ve tested your items not just the wiring. I hope you get it sorted soon it sounds a nightmare trying to guess what’s tripping it and if/when it’ll work

Thanks
the electrician wasn't booked by me so was maybe only contracted to check the switch box and sockets but I agree I def should get another opinion and all appliances checked.

Ah yeah makes sense, fingers crossed they can find the issue for you

I suspect you have a faulty appliance or an issue along the wiring somewhere. Fault is a very long and slow process.

It is not in the electricity company’s interest to stop your connection, and if they wanted to cut you off they would just cut it.
