Yeah perfect. Get him that and a bottle of his favourite drink or whatever for him to open on the day

I have something wrong with my arm and have done for a while now. ( yes GP is trying to find out what is wrong) thought I would ask here in case anyone else has had or has the same thing. so we could find some short cuts to a diagnosis
It feels like someone has just punched my arm and gave me a dead arm and all the problems that come with that dead arm. but instead of going away the pain and problems stay.

I mean it is really hard to say without seeing you and shouldn't really give out diagnosis on the internet but the one thing that springs to mind is Thoracic outlet syndrome (as something to rule out, not as what you definitely have). But again, the gp should be looking into it and referring on to physio/orthopaedics etc. I hope they figure it out soon!
Thank you I am having a cervical spine X-ray on the 5th. hopefully that will show something.
Anyone know best questions to ask when getting pet insurance? I have the basics like if dental plan is included, if costs will raise after a claim, if long term illness will be covered, if anything hereditary will be covered etc
Should there be anything else I need to make sure I ask?

I’ve just renewed my pet insurance. My boy is getting on a bit now (he’s 9
) so my main priority was making sure the limit on the vet fees covered was the highest possible as the older they get, the more likely it is that they’ll need complex and costly treatment if something crops up. I went for £10,000 of cover with £125 excess and that includes lifetime cover for long term illness. You might also consider things like PTS and cremation, which I think you can only claim for if your pet is below a certain age, but something to keep in mind. Horrible to think about, but practical.Thanks he's 16 weeks so just a baby, it's for my rabbit but I know from previous that even them can cost a lot an fast so this time I want to get insurance, looking at going with pet planI’ve just renewed my pet insurance.

Oh absolutely, it’s worth having. Fingers and toes crossed you wont need to use it but better to be safe than sorry for sure.
Thanks, yeah you always hope it never needs used, unfortunately my last bun cost a few hundred before she died so it's why am going for it now, just hoping it won't be a case of getting it then they won't cover somthingOh absolutely, it’s worth having.

I completely understand and I do think the T&Cs and fine print can be quite confusing, as with any kind of insurance, you can tie yourself up in knots with it. It sounds to me like you’ve got the basics down with a dental plan and long-term illness, they would be my main concerns for a baby rabbit too. Good luck with it, I hope you manage to get something sorted that you’re happy with and that gives you peace of mind.

I’ve got an interview in a couple of weeks for a job I really want, which if I get offered I am fairly certain I would take. It’s a training post with a high intake (like an apprenticeship) and would start in the new year. A couple of weeks ago I found out I was pregnant. I know that as soon as I’m employed I’m covered by their maternity leave policy (I’ve looked it up in advance) but ethically I’m not sure what the best way to approach it is, especially as my OH is talking about the possibility of me being a stay at home mum for a few years. Anyone else had this issue?
you have to do what’s best for you really. The most important thing to consider in your situation is whether YOU want to be a stay at home mum for a few years. If you don’t then take the job and reap the benefits of it!
Just wondering... Can you have Internet without paying for a land line? Been with bt forever and probably paying more than I need to for it. I haven't used a landline phone in over a decade and they charge me for a bt sports service that I never wanted and haven't watched TV in decades.
We probably can’t afford childcare for both of us working and my OHs earnings are far greater than mine, plus my job is already part time and can’t feasibly go to any lower hours (my NHS trust is too incompetent to do a job share, plus it’d be incredibly hard to fill). It’s something we need to think about but it would be harder for me to return to my current job because they’re so inflexible.
Oh that’s a tough one! What sort of role are you in at the moment? Are your skills transferable? If so then don’t worry and just enjoy your pregnancy and take the job you want for the time being!
a friend of mine has internet without a landline but i think there’s some conditions with it and it depends on your area. i’m sure she only has it through fibre optic but would have to check!
edit: this might help!
How to get broadband without a landline
Want broadband without a phone line? It's now easier than ever to get broadband without a landline. Learn how with our guide.
It’s a really specialist role that very few hospitals have (though they are starting to emerge in more places). Lots of transferable skills to private industry or non-healthcare industries but it’s getting across that whilst I’ve done healthcare for nearly 10 years now, what I do can be applied in other settings. This job isn’t in the NHS but is very similar in work set up (sorry, I can’t say much more as it’d definitely identify me
)Sounds like you’ll be absolutely fine and could prove your skills in an interview really well, so I wouldn’t panic. Go for this new job and then enjoy your family, the rest can be decided if you want to return to work, it sounds like you’re in a great place in life so enjoy!

Yes but you still have to pay the line rental fee, from memory i think it’s £17 per month. We don’t have a landline phone so just pay the line rental fee in with our broadband. I think a lot of people do that nowadays as every one has mobile phones, we’ve done it for years
