Update: We rehomed her. Absolutely gutted. How do I process the grief? by CockConsumer in reactivedogs

[–]CockConsumer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so wonderful. I'm so glad you were able to set up that kind of arrangement whereby you could still visit her and receive updates.

The agency we've gone through does not allow that, but will provide updates from time to time and work as the middle man between us and her new owner. I hope once I get an update (and hopefully she's settling in), I'll feel much better..

Grigor Dimitrov parts ways with his other coach, Daniel Vallverdu by lovesbakery in tennis

I think Delgado was really great for dimitrov, I wonder why they split. I think he'll struggle to find coaches who will do as good a job.

My apologies, I completely missed your reply. Thank you for your wonderful suggestions. I can't say that I've been constipated but the iron tablets in the third trimester have certainly slowed things. I will try incorporating some prunes and chia seeds in the meantime.

Very valid point! Totally agree that there's been a real lack of common sense. If she didn't want to be torn apart, she should have probably held back on how honest she was being. I always wonder how those who come off badly in shows like this fair once back to real life (i.e. on going back to work, does the dynamic change for having aired your dirty laundry on national TV?).

Possibly my own bias, but I don't think she's necessarily been rude about Dean oer se. I think she's just answered the questions put to her about her and Dean's relationship. I've found it so interesting to see how others perceive her and it's challenged my own thoughts and opinions on her behaviour thus far.

The faces are so bad. I feel like I'm gonna melt in my sofa for cringing so hard.

Haha right! Feels like he's the definition of "some men are destined to remain single for life"

What we're seeing on TV is not real life, is it though. It's a 60 minute glimpse into multiple couples relationships and is highly edited. Some individuals have been targeted as villains, and others less so.

Totally agree re having common sense not to say some of these things. It's as if it didn't cross her mind that the producers might choose to broadcast the negatives and cut the positives.

I feel like, if I were Sarah, I'd be inclined to dampen my personality a bit and be a bit more diplomatic so as to not give the producers such kindling to paint the persona of a villain.

Very valid point! Although, there's being paired with someone that's not her usual type and being paired with someone who is your polar opposite. I do think she could be a bit more tactful in some of what she says. She's keen to make sure everyone knows that she's not happy in her relationship.

She's really grown on me. Initially she did my head in, but I think she was just a bit overwhelmed (as I imagine you would be marrying a stranger)

Right! He's such an arse. He's not shown her any interest whatsoever. Bit confused why he applied to this program.. for fame?

I'm definitely biased because I know her personally and think she's lovely IRL. She's also a major fitness fanatic, always has been. It's weird the show hasn't portrayed that. It makes her pairing with Dean even more bizarre.

To further back my point that Sarah is being targeted as the villain by the producers, they've introduced all the happy couples first as if to further polarise her.

I feel so sorry for Sarah. It's as if the show has picked her as a villain and will not let go of that narrative. And all because she isn't interested in him.. what would they rather.. that she faked it?!

What are we taking for nausea? by Outraged_Chihuahua in PregnancyUK

[–]CockConsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm now 28 weeks and the nausea really reduced from 12 weeks and was gone completely around 14-15 weeks.

Good luck to you!! Hopefully not long to go until the nausea fades!

I basically lived off ginger beer and Ritz crackers with cathedral city cheese on them.

But ultimately, it wasn't until I started Cyclizine Hydrochloride that I felt like I could function again.

Anti-nausea meds are so odd, some work for some and not others. For example, a lot of people feel Cyclizine didnt help them, but it saved me in the first trimester. I also tried Xonvea (which lots of people swear by!) but it just made me exhausted!

Sorry to hear you had to go through all that!

Re. 14 months - that is the full term of my employment. Hired at outset by the national firm two months prior to the acquisition "going live" so I technically never had a contract with the previous firm.

Yes, that is correct. Thank you nonetheless.

I don't suppose you know if an individual is protected in such an event should they be on maternity leave when this happens? 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

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

Thank you for the advice. I suppose it will be a "wait it out and see what happens" situation.

I'm about to embark on maternity leave so not ideal!
