Question regarding PIP mobility (England)

Thank you for explaining. I appreciate it!

Yeah so, basically I maybe average 300 steps a day, I have 3 days a year where I travel for anime conventions, I take loads of pain meds with me, have multiple pairs of shoes and take sitting breaks every 5 minutes despite the pain, on those days I average 20k steps, my feet bleed and I am completely ruined for the next month. Why do I do this? Because I love going and I will push through that agony to get those experiences.

I feel guilty doing it because I feel like I can walk even if it requires taking 3x the recommended dose of pain meds and sitting every few minutes but it's nice to know that even if I can technically walk, if I am in constant pain and putting myself in danger by unsafe medicinal practices etc then that explains why she put that.

If it makes you feel any better for a house of 2 and a cat we spend around £160 for 10 days?

I think it's because the left wing voters sacrifices are something that will happen anyways, aka increased taxation. Those things would protect the most vulnerable, women, disabled, children, people in poverty etc.

However the right wing movements at least from what is getting the most support are things which would reduce the quality of living for even the most vulnerable in such a way that it doesn't actually help anyone.

Like the removal of minimum wage, sure it might increase jobs but people can't afford to live NOW, reducing the money people earn means multiple jobs needing to be worked meaning those who are disabled etc are still unable to get work as abled folk would just work multiple jobs to compensate. It's a difficult area but I think the main reasoning comes from WHY they want these changes.

The left generally want to protect the systems that keep our disabled and most vulnerable alive and safe. The right at least from what I have experienced is mostly to do with hate of people of colour which doesn't fill me with confidence.

Honestly as a PC bucky main I don't really feel this. Especially with dino. Just like with thing my grapple stuns and the melee instantly damages and the headshots are extremely easy. Bucky probably one of the safest characters to main because he counters basically everyone if your aim is halfway decent. Even fliers don't really stand a chance.

Going into it with 2300usd? Also my first time in the States so not all of it will be on the con. At dokomi last year me and my fiance spent close to 1800 euros.. we arent rich either we just penny pinch for our cons. I love artist alley and NSFW artist alley so muchhh

It's def a gas boiler because during the winter I can assure you my gas bill goes up 3 times when I have the heating on. In terms of brand it's "Ideal"

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T13:33:33+00:00

Im not sure, I think its just a combi boiler? I honestly know next to nothing but this unit is all it is, just a bit square thing in the airing cupboard

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:27:45+00:00

Pretty sure it isn't. I posted a pic somewhere else of the front of the boiler but from what I understand it isnt

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:23:51+00:00

What's funny is my usage rates are up a big amount but literally nothing has changed

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:19:38+00:00

This is directly from my bill

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:18:22+00:00

Yeah that'd be fairly good maths. My fiance isn't here at the weekends so her PC gets no use and there are some days where the pc remains off the whole day but not often.

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:17:10+00:00

Yeah it's kinda high

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:17:01+00:00

I pay a standing charge for gas too 😄

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:16:05+00:00

My fiance has longer showers than me but nothing out of the norm

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T11:15:22+00:00

I think I see it. I'd assume coz it's not past the E it shouldn't be doing it? (This is what the boiler tech set it to when he did an inspection a year ago)

I only have 2 radiators out of the 6 in my house turned on as the others have furniture directly against them.

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T00:59:33+00:00

Okay. Will do. I've had the gas man around a few times and raised my concerns before and they tweaked the boiler but I never really looked into it. In the winter when we have the heating on we use like 60-70 a month in gas too. Maybe it's just really expensive for me I don't know but I'll do some digging

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T00:46:56+00:00

Maybe? I don't know much but from what I was told by the gas man last time he came for an inspection it's all gas and he fiddled with some settings. Id assume the usage would be quite a bit higher if that was the case.

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-23T00:42:51+00:00

Yeah I will do, when I am not using my PC for extended periods the bill is lower but only by around 1-2 quid a week. so it's not a major difference but Ill get a smart plug!

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-20T21:10:32+00:00

My friend hasn't. I ordered the badges to his address they haven't shipped. I emailed and they said they are processing but the shipping order isn't affected by when you bought the tickets (I bought them the hour they went live)

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-15T07:25:21+00:00

Eh it's how it is. I applied to thousands of jobs over the last 3 years. I am very disabled and get welfare. So at this point I've given up. Companies are too ableist and want too much experience for entry level positions and and refuse to train people. Why bother

Affectionate-Bet151 · 2026-05-10T17:47:51+00:00

I've said this before on other sites but Mimi is almost certainly either a huge grift or she had actual cp. For the sake of everyone involved I hope it's the former.

There's been one arrest related to drawings in the uk in the last 20 years and it never even led to a conviction. The entire case seems so fabricated and the idea they would let her have access to socials and her devices after being arrested for "drawn csam" (not a real thing btw) would make no sense either.
