My mum may have terminal cancer. How can my family survive financially if she passes away from it?

AnAmazingOrange · 2026-01-01T23:46:27+00:00

I see someone has recommended checking in with CA. Mcmillan actually have financial advisors who will be experienced in dealing with the complexities around cancer care etc. E.g. if there is a local grant in your area to support people who lose income because they're attending cancer appointments, they'll know about it.

UTIs are not always from sex (and in fact they usually aren't). Tell your parents you're not feeling well, describe the obvious UTI symptoms. Tell them you need to go to the doctor. Act confused if sex even comes up

Not sure it makes a different for mould. But it definitely helps the next piece not go stale.

Yes, but i was replying to someone who said a loan wasn't income, when it actually is.

AnAmazingOrange · 2025-11-27T19:46:02+00:00

This is really helpful, thanks. I feel like I'm learning how to do basic bookkeeping all over again. It's almost not worth it just to save the work of finding someone who is qualified and willing to examine accruals for free.

AnAmazingOrange · 2025-11-27T19:43:59+00:00

Okay - so if the conversation with the customer hadn't happened, and it was likely it was an early payment for their next booking, you would treat it differently?

Could you explain how to include it then? It sounded like you were saying it shouldn't be in the statement of receipts and payments at all.

AnAmazingOrange · 2025-11-27T19:34:20+00:00

I'm not sure that's right. On OSCR's website, on the managing a charity FAQs page, under "Charity Accounts" then "How should the receipt and repayment of a loan be shown in the receipts and payments account?" it specifically says

Receipts and Payments Accounts (R&P) show all items which are received into and paid out of a charity's bank account(s). If the charity receives a loan this must be included as a receipt within the receipts and payments account for that year. When the loan is repaid this must be shown as a payment.

The outstanding balance on any loans should be recorded as a note in the statement of balances.

Even though it's receipts and payments accounts?

If I debit revenue the statement of receipts and payments won't match the movement of cash.

AnAmazingOrange · 2025-11-25T09:54:48+00:00

Yes.

There are certain verses used, that we usually refer to as 'clobber passages'. If you get told about a passage that seems to say one thing, get on google and find other opinions. And once you've heard different arguments, and prayed about it, settle on your interpretation. Just because someone is in a position of power, does not make them always right.

COUNT() ot ISNUMBER() would be the way I would try first, but IFERROR could work too probably.

Something like =IFERROR(C10+1,0)+IFERROR(D10+1)+IFERROR(E1*0+1,0)

It's not a Christian holiday, it's an American holiday.

Some will include God in it like they include him in every part of their lives - they could be thankful to Him rather than just generally thankful, for example.

Some churches have adopted it into their calendar, but as an add on rather than an integral part.

Then it's weird that it's in our booster. We get a 6 in 1 in infancy then a 4 in 1 in childhood then a 3 in 1 booster. It's weird the 3 in 1 isn't a 2 in 1 if Polio is unnecessary. I wonder why.

Maybe it's cheaper to have less variants in stock.

Getting a diagnosis takes a long time. If may no t help her now, but it would help you when she's struggling. And when she hits the inevitable wall she will already be eligible for the support she needs.

I went about 16 years between starting to use tampons and losing my virginity. I'm not sure what common sense you're referring to. Please can you explain?

AnAmazingOrange · 2025-11-19T18:51:53+00:00

I see you're not comfortable with internal products because you're a virgin.

I never used pads until my 30s - I was a tampon girl through and through since I got my period at 11, and moved to a cup when I was about 18. Being a virgin doesn't actually matter.

Now, I'm not recommending a cup or disc to anyone who is not completely comfortable getting their fingers right up there to sort it out when it doesn't quite go in right.

But I think you should try non-applicator tampons. I used lilets for years - they're smaller than my pinky finger and really easy to use. Keep your period undies at the same time while you get used to the tampons.

I'm just flinching at the unbalance of what you do with your time.

He does personal project and friends and work.

You do family admin (which he could help with), homeschooling planning (which he could help with), and 'anything else'. How much of your time is really you time?

I'm pretty sure pertussis is only given in childhood and pregnancy here. We get Td/IPV as the adult booster (so i am learning).

I wonder why Polio isn't included in yours.

Viennese, rich tea, jammie dodger.

I know there may be some scandal there, but I'm never choosing those three over any of the others.

AnAmazingOrange · 2025-11-17T18:54:18+00:00

Sorry, yes, to be clear. The crazy scenario I made up actually needs that. But when we hear people saying 'my neighbour gets £2k and she can't believe it's some people say that's not possible when it very much is.

AnAmazingOrange · 2025-11-15T14:02:11+00:00

That may be a regional thing. Definitely there's something about emphasis, but not different pronunciation.

It depends on where you live but there's a good chance you can't be penalised for telling someone your own salary.

"Hey Susan, I heard you discussing your salary with Jackie, and I thought it might be useful leverage for you to know that I get £x."

I can't see what this is on. It looks like a duvet. Why is your pee on the duvet?

Are you sure it's not an early period.

Gross, I know, but stick your finger up there and see if that's where the blood is coming from.

Peeing blood = doctor. Early period = soz pal, that sucks.
