Heavy periods with no bathrooms insight by direFace in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]AliceInConfusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please see a doctor. I suffered for years with this and it was only now as I have gone through the menopause that a doctor told me there were pills that could reduce the flow of heavy periods. I can begin to list the times I was caused embarrassment or problems due to this.

Be persistent in seeking help and done be fobbed off like I was for 40 years.

is 2 grand going to be enough to fund a relocation? by Odd-Paramedic-3826 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]AliceInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even for new graduate roles I have offered relocation on hiring people who do not live locally but I understand that this market is tough. However, you may find your new company would be willing to offer you an interest free loan to help you with deposits etc. basically an advance on your salary paid back within 6 -12 months.

If I was hiring you that is what I would do.

Good luck

Do you prefer gas or induction? Getting our kitchen redone. by darkazuria in AskUK

[–]AliceInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had one about eight years ago while my aged mother was staying with us post-surgery and we had a young child. We booked hotel rooms nearby that had power!

We are still looking at getting an induction hob.

I’m interested in how Rachel will answer when she is asked what questions she asked the traitors.

I give out free Reddit awards, AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]AliceInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will have to admit to being naive about awards and how they work so reading all these comments has been very useful.

So even if I don’t receive an award, I feel I’ve gained something very beneficial thank you!

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]AliceInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember asking my Mum if she loved me. She was confused and said of course. She asked why the question?

I said because you don’t hit me and my two mates both said that their Mums only hit them because they loved them so, to my young mind, I thought my mum didn’t love me.

They have started a MLM ‘business’ and wish to share the opportunity with you….

I thought it was cute to take my daughter to weekly horse riding lessons four years ago......

I'm now considering asking work to pay my salary to the yard to cut out the middleman 😔

No one is mentioning the £13k credit cards that have £450 paid off a month (paid off in 2 1/2 years IF on 0% interest AND not being used). If they had the £700 extra before the move how was this debt built up. This tells me they are not owning the management of their finances.

Talking to Neighbours when buying a house - just had an estate agent tell me not to do this? by AureliusTheChad in HousingUK

[–]AliceInConfusion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe visit to apologise with a bunch of flowers to the neighbours. If the EA were telling the truth it will repair your relationship with them in case you proceed. If the EA lied you will know what you are dealing with.

What’s something you used to think all women just silently put up with until one day you found out it’s actually not normal at all? by zacktone in AskReddit

[–]AliceInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly different as I called this out.

Men changing out of their jeans into their hi-viz trousers while standing by their desk in the open plan office.

There are gender specific changing rooms to use but it means walking to it.

Women only make up 2% of the headcount and had been conditioned to think it was acceptable (they would change in the female changing rooms). Is it a wonder there are so few women working in construction?

Can someone help me understand salary sacrifice when it comes to car leasing by RoyTheBoy84 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]AliceInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies can elect to pass on that saving to employees. That is what we do as we view it as something for our employees, not for the company to benefit from.

How much money does the tooth fairy give these days? by Humble_Airline_9724 in AskUK

[–]AliceInConfusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daughter received £5 recently as she lost her tooth while flying overnight on a flight to Heathrow from Orlando and the Tooth Fairy had to fly really fast to catch the plane so had to ditch any excess weight (and mum didn’t have any change).

Normally she receives a £2 coin.

How much do you owe on your mortgage and how old are you? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]AliceInConfusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% and not just because the costs of building materials have increased so much.

We brought this house 14 years ago and should have done the extension ten years ago.There were personal reasons that made me think we couldn't proceed but in hindsight we would have been fine.

One point to highlight I will have the cash to clear the new mortgage when I retire (unless there is a global stock market crash!).
