Can you take the duvet out of the cover and just use the cover over you? I've done this before in hotels when they have these massive thick duvets in summer. At home, we currently just have a sheet over us as I have to have something covering me too.
I sleep with a bedspread or eiderdown in this weather. Dunelm ones are great. Perfect if you want the feeling of something more than a sheet (quilted like a duvet) but don't want the warmth!
Be honest and ask why? Are they seeing if you can do it and then possible promotion? Or are they giving you work because nobody else is doing it?
Trying to get to speak to someone that isn’t a normal customer service person has been hard. Radio silence from Royal Mail but a manager from Very did ring me today and promised to try and track it down and return it promptly, I’m really hoping she’s true to her word
. Said she would be in touch after the bank holiday to update so watch this space I guess.
I like St Eval. Good scents, nothing chemically, last all the way through. Tins, tea lights, or fancier. Made in north Cornwall.
i agree, not all parents are the best, and that is sad. but unless there’s a known safeguarding issue i don’t think the school are obliged to do anything else really. they rang you, her emergency contact, and that’s where their duty ends.
Honestly it sounds like something that she herself really needs to get help with through therapy, it's obvs something deep with her an it needs to be faced by herself, she needs to get to the root of why she wants kids so quickly an therapy will help herThis is a difficult problem for me to try and articulate so please forgive me for any fumbles in wording!
Myself and my friends are all at the life stage of preparing to have kids, pregnancy, or already having small children. Personally, I have not yet had children but I am not putting pressure on myself.
One of my friends desperately wants to be pregnant. She is putting a lot of pressure on herself and is actively getting upset each month when her period arrives. She has every tracker and guidebook under the sun. Her and her partner have been trying for 6 months. Every time she sees a pregnancy announcement on Instagram, she is upset. Every time anyone mentions anything baby related, she is upset. I have avoided talking about my other friend who is currently pregnant so as not to upset her further. I don't dodge the topic if directly asked, but I also don't bring it up. Some of her other friends however, seem to be taking advantage and using her as a babysitting service. Almost every weekend she is out with her partner and someone else's baby having a day out. She is elated on those days and extremely depressed in the 2-3 days that follow.
I can't help but now start to feel extremely anxious talking to her. I love her to pieces but I don't know what to say anymore that doesn't somehow go back to children and her feeling like she's failed by not getting pregnant so fast. I also don't want to belittle her stress either as I can't even imagine how she feels but I do think the obsession and pressure is not going to be helping her actually conceive?
I just don't know what to do really to either help her or feel less anxious about fucking up in conversation by accidentally offending her.
If anyone does have a miracle answer, please do let me know but even actually expressing that helps a littlethanks
Depending on what your company does I probably wouldn't be offended. But people absolutely could take offence, especially if it's the sole subject of the email. Personally I think it would be better received alongside other stuff.
I guess it depends what the job is. I would probably be open that I’ve worked in the field and know the role if they ask.
Genuinely, I don't. No family near. My neighbour is 82 and housebound.
Definitely!
I moved to Lebara, good signal and so easy to transfer numbers etc.Lebara for sure. They use the Vodafone network so hopefully that’s a good signal for where you are
Yes, I think I will do that.
They have the correct item I’ve returned but they also have a very expensive box of electrical bits belonging to my partner Royal Mail picked up in error as a return, it’s that very are refusing to return
Congratulations! It’ll be great. My eldest moved into her first home in August, so these three tips are from their experience. Use a good, recommended solicitor, not the cheapest (eldest did, the seller didn’t). Find out where the stopcock is. Take a pic of the meter/s as soon as you move in.Not really a problem but I’ve just had my offer accepted for my first homeI’ve lived with my mum all my life so I’m naturally feeling really daunted and anxious at the moment. Any advice or encouraging words? Also the hugeness of it all has totally turned my tummy which isn’t helping! Any anxious tummy sufferer advice appreciated!
Hydro Flask. I put ice in mine in the morning and it’s still there in the late afternoon.
Some parents would choose not to go to a&e. They might wait and see if it passed, just call 111, see the GP, it would depend how the child was reacting, it’s not an automatic “straight to a&e” case. The school can’t dictate what path the parent takes, just let them know the circumstances and follow up if there’s a safeguarding issue.
