What happens when historic childhood sexual abuse is reported? It's not I who has reported
Has anything come of the more recent allegations with the school?
Things are happening, albeit slowly. But tit has definitely hit the fan
Hoping there is some sort of support system in place should you need it. There are charities that can advise on victim compensation, should it be applicable, that you could use to access private services xx
Random question
The handle on my door is coming lose, is that a job for a joiner or a locksmith? I was thinking a joiner could do it but if it needs a new handle all together then will I need a locksmith since it may need new locks? It's a barrel lock we have if that makes a difference

A joiner. But it’s a pretty e
A joiner or handyman but it’s a pretty easy DIY job, have a look on YouTube.
The NAPAC is there for victims of childhood abuse, they're basically the adult NSPCC. Also the Samaritans if you need them.
I've been where you are and it's horrible. Rooting for you
If the barrel is loose you can tighten this yourself by tightening the screws on the side of the door. If it's a upvc door I would contact your local window/door fitter as it would be cheaper than a joiner, we had one replaced for £12.
Thanks, I've no idea what type of door/lock it is, I just know it's a barrel, the ring that the handle is on is completely fine, it just the handle itself that's coming away an I need to keep pushing both sides in to click it back in place again
People with young families - what car do you have? Due to upgrade our car in September. Currently got a Suzuki Vitara and we love it but fancy a change. Need a big boot for the pram/bike/scooter/shopping etc.
Any recommendations?
Any recommendations?
Skoda octavia . Very spacious with a huge boot.a
BMW X5
The Nissan Qashqai is a great option, compact but surprisingly spacy inside. Good sized boot.
Any estate without a sloping roof such as Passatt or BMW 3 series. If budget allows it's handy to have a boot that opens from the keys so you're not juggling for a free hand to get it open, that was a must have for me after getting filthy hand opening a wet/dirty hatch back all the time. It's also handy to have one that doesn't have a massive ledge and deep drop into the boot so you have to lift up and out or over and in.
I've been fortunate enough to get a Tesla, massive boot space but because the roof slopes it's a real pain the get a toddler into the car seat without folding them in half or whacking their head! Obviously never tested that aspect before buying so it's worth bearing in mind the shape of the rear doors. Very high 4x4s are also hard when they get bigger and heavier if you're small as you've got to lift them pretty high into the seats.
If I hadn't got a company car the Volvo XC60 was what I was going for after looking at everrryyyyttthhinngg for over a year.
The Evoque I was initially considering actually had far less boot space than you'd imagine. Youtube is great for honest user reviews and seeing what you can truly get in because the quoted capacity is often not usable space.
Dacia- I have a Sandero but the Duster might be better. Super cheap to run, replace parts, tax, etc.
Relationship Question: Please be kind (I’m a bit sensitive at the mo
).
I’ve worked with a woman for almost a year - let's call her T. We’ve become good friends & I do believe that she's been a good friend to me.
T tried to set me up with someone at work. This guy & I developed genuine feelings for one another albeit he was a little odd - had never been on a date, has lived with his mum for a long time etc etc. but I tried to look past that. There was chemistry which is why I think I persevered.
In the end he wasn’t very nice to me but showed amazing qualities in a friend to T & everyone else.
I called it off with him as his behaviour was quite toxic. There was a bit of drama back & forth all the time T was still getting involved. He seems to be pretty manipulative & likes to plays the ‘victim', T was well aware that he had lied as things transpired.
Sometimes T would let things I’d asked her to keep to herself (about me to him) 'slip' but I genuinely believed that she had good intentions, however I did start to suspect that she quite enjoyed being the middle man (I would not go running to T but he would as he’d ask for her advice).
I moved house (alone) & because he seemingly doesn't to know how to handle relationships he’d asked T if he should ask me if I needed help. T said not to - I do think she had our best interests at heart but I can’t for the life of me work out why she had said not to contact me.
I have had other interest since but I told T around Xmas time that I’d had trouble getting over this odd ball because of the feelings/chemistry etc.
I know he does little things to help T out like offers her a lift, feeds her pets etc. & I don't think there's anything in it (T is slightly older) ..
A few weeks ago I saw T & he'd obviously told her the latest (he & I had stopped talking) because he can't seem to keep it things to himself. I have always waited for T to bring the subject up to me. T never asked my side of things and continued to go on about me moving on with someone new whilst being really gushy about him (he'd brought her flowers because she was sick etc.).
T's son had also innocently mentioned that she sits in his car for a bit when he drops her home.
I don't believe he has any feelings towards her but I have started to wonder if she has developed a crush on him.
She'd also shown a bit of jealousy about a work scenario.
Rightly or wrongly following my meet-up with T I have iced her out (as well as him). I left the whole meet-up feeling like something was 'off' & I'm not sure I can trust that she didn't mention these other men that had shown interest to him etc. I found her gushing of him & the fact she hadn't asked for my side of things a little hurtful.
Am I being a cow?

No I don't think you're being a cow. I think you should trust your gut reaction (I always trust it!) in the meet up that something wasn't right and keep some distance as you've already done. Time will tell whether anything develops between them, and it might be that you've sensed. As you aren't interested him in romantically then I'd just leave them to it, especially as he wasn't nice to you. It sounds like she isn't a trustworthy person either. I'd just keep it civil during work hours only - you've done nothing wrong x
