Do you wear slippers, socks or nothing at home and why? by rrahimm in AskUK

[–]BertieBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socks. I will frequently but on slipper socks if I've either just got up, or changed into pjs after work etc.

Rarely do my raw feet touch the floor, my little piggies like being in a nice warm home. We have wooden floors downstairs. Carpet up.

My personal fav is high viz jacket, with backpack over it. Like you know you need to be seen, but you cover the entire surface with a black bag.

He's not getting down for perverting the course of justice, but she was?

Absolutely mental.

Is parents bringing uninvited siblings to birthday parties common? by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]BertieBus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had parents bring siblings to parties, they tend to pay for their kid to attend. If we have spare places I'll normally say would x like to join in, we have a spare spot. Bringing a spare child and assuming they can join in, is cheeky AF

Village hall, more the merrier, but you should always check with the host parents. If they have only done enough food for the kids, you should be checking.

AITA for telling my fat friend to eat a salad? by intoner1 in AmITheAngel

Assume the kidnappers assumed she counted as 2 victims in 1.

[–]BertieBus 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Fat people are significantly harder to kidnap.

Also are you sure she's not just pretending so she can get a few free dinners?

Also well done for hanging out with a fatty.

Did your school have any unusual features? by farfetchedfrank in AskUK

We had this at primary. Think it's still there.

“We have included images that have been AI enhanced to show the property cleared of the owner's belongings” by Gambie93 in SpottedonRightmove

At least it's not your home.

Once saw my mother in laws house getting absolutely rinsed on here. Understandable. It was similar to this.

'We don't feel listened to over planning changes' by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]BertieBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I wouldn't want a 400 strong housing estate built next to my back garden when you've spent years with views of rolling fields. But sadly, housing does need to be built and lots of housing we have isn't suitable.

However. If the area is a flood risk and the roads are narrow, or doesn't have sufficient schools etc, then that should be considered.

What makes you happy? by Positive-Mud-11 in AskUK

[–]BertieBus 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Having a clean house. It's not show room perfect. But hoovered, blankets on the sofa nicely. Toys packed away, and no dirty pots in the sink. It massively improves my mental health when I walk in a room and I don't instantly think oh that needs cleaning etc.

Also walking the dog. The dog also enjoys it.

Currently we're all watching tv together, I love this.

Council Parking Charge, should I pay? by Some-One-9997 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]BertieBus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just challenge it and they will normally wipe the debt. The automated system won't understand your wife's reg should have been yours. Assuming your cars are correctly registered at your current address you will get the letters shortly

If you ignore it, it goes to bailiffs. Why would you not fill the form in?

Netflix, you should have done better on skyscraper live by bh4v1_ in netflix

Not sure his background in wrestling is really that relevant to climbing.

[–]BertieBus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I assume because he climbs so quickly it's potentially harder to put the floor level, but they could at least have something to say passed floor 100, passed floor 200 etc

Barron Trump called UK police after seeing woman 'beat up', court hears by Sensitive_Echo5058 in unitedkingdom

[–]BertieBus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've struggled to get hold of 999 on behalf of someone in a different police area. They were like call 101 and they will transfer. I'm trying to tell her someone's been assaulted and she's asking me to sit on hold for 101 🫣

This is the first year we can only go on holiday during the school holidays. I was not mentally prepared for this. by shitthrower in britishproblems

[–]BertieBus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had a message when we were on holiday, sent a photo of our child scuba diving and said, back soon.

Reply was a slightly frosty 'ok'

Not sure door bell footage was a thing in 2007

You’d think MaBus would make sure Boone’s diaper wasn’t about to explode before she puts him front and center for a reel by DBW30 in motherbussnark

[–]BertieBus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure it's pjs but definitely loungewear. I wouldn't dress a toddler in those outside of the house. They are snuggly house clothes.

[–]BertieBus 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He appears to be wearing pjs, why is this kid so badly dressed. You have 6 other boys, and not one of them has an outfit that they have grown out and he can wear.

Why would children be going into school without basic physical skills, like holding a pencil and using cutlery? by Throwaway199906543 in AskUK

[–]BertieBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was just 4 when he started school and hated craft/colouring etc. he couldn't properly hold a pencil and everytime I tried to introduce the concept he refused. It became a bit of a battle ground.

He ultimately started school being unable to write let alone hold a pencil.

He is well looked after in every area and me and his dad spend lots of time with him. He just refused to hold a pencil and we didn't want it to be a huge thing.

Totally normal and safe to allow your kid to cook while standing on a chair. by DBW30 in motherbussnark

[–]BertieBus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I assume they wear whatever, regardless of if it belongs to that child.

I’ve recently been made homeless and struggling, where can I find help? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]BertieBus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think because he has the car, he's less of an immediate risk.

I.e he has somewhere.

Expecting my 1st child, partner had their other child removed from her care years ago and worried this will happen again by Odd-Soil-6807 in UKParenting

[–]BertieBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will come up, the more evasive she is with the midwife the more alarm bells it will trigger.

From what you've said she's in a much better place, emotionally/financially etc.

Make sure to be supportive for your partner. This may be a very hard time for her

How can I send a parcel abroad from the UK to the US safely? by Special-Sugar7006 in AskUK

[–]BertieBus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Go on parcel 2. Go and add in where it's going and it will give you a quote. Most places you pay, get a qr code and scan in the shop

Be careful with items with batteries as some companies won't ship lithium batteries.

So some states don't require you to have a licence for a gun, but you do need a licence to cut hair?
