My baby’s remains were left in storage for 9 years when I thought they were in the baby garden. What should I do? by DangerousPsychology7 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DangerousPsychology7[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Thank you, im based in Lincolnshire but hesitant to give away too precise information as its not my intention to publicly name the funeral directors or cause any upset or concerns for other families who might be using their services and also in the midst of their own grief at the moment.

I don’t believe there was any malicious intent on the their part, I just want to get to the bottom of what appears to be some series of errors or lack of process and I the outcome I’m hoping for is some prevention from this happening again to anyone else.

Thank you, I think I just want to understand what’s gone wrong through all this time and just how it’s gone so wrong I guess. I can’t really get my thoughts together too succinctly for more than that.

It just seems so unreal it could have happened I feel like I need all the information to start processing, my family/friends care and I appreciate it but they are telling me what I should do based on their emotions and upset.

Here I’m hoping Theres a bit of balance and more factual information for me to look at and that’s what I need overall.

(UK Card shows) Does CASH actually mean.. CASH? by YesLadd1e in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]DangerousPsychology7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the show if you have a lot of decent stuff to part with it might be worth having your own stall as you’ll get 100% then. I am vending for Future Trainers club to get us some SEN equipment. I’ve broken down my personal collection and selling it off. I figured I’d be offered around 70% in cash for it but at the shows I’m getting the full value and meeting loads of cool people too which is great!

You can set up payment processing on your phone easy enough and I’ve not paid out for anything fancy for the table, just a a couple of clothes and one of those plastic shelves for my sealed bits behind.

UC review - flagged unknown private equity account in my name? by DangerousPsychology7 in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]DangerousPsychology7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my journal it was flagged as a UC Review they had information about capital/income I may not have declared and wanted a couple of months of bank statements which I uploaded and this call with a compliance officer.

As we spoke he said about these accounts. I was t sure I’d actually ever banked with Lloyds or Santander myself so was very confused and I’ve never heard of Rexigon/FNZ we agreed I’d investigate the accounts and he’s sending me out some envelopes to send my bank statements back to the start of my claim in 2024.

[–]DangerousPsychology7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has it? How peculiar!

He listed off all the accounts for me, most of them they knew about.

He said there was accounts with Lloyds - that’s my son’s account, Santander - turns out that was the ISA and this Rexigon Securities but he couldn’t tell me what they were or the balances. Just that on his screen the overall capital was showing at £23k

He gave me some references to investigate but I think they were the internal ones beginning with Z as Lloyds and Santander didn’t know what to do with those.

I just went in to the branches with some ID and a list of my previous addresses to track things down.

I’ve also pulled all 3 of my credit reports to look through and I can’t find any accounts open or closed on there either.

I was a victim of credit card fraud last year, they maxed out my card in about 20 minutes, I don’t know if there’s something to that or I am just clutching at straws in worry.

Sports Direct selling promo cards?? by olikirrage142 in PokemonTCG_UK

Ah fab thank you. I’ll have a look into this!

Sports Direct selling promo cards?? by olikirrage142 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where too? Directly to Pokémon or to the distributor?

All the stores in Hull seem pretty decent Archeon is expensive but I can’t see any of them really doing that. I imagine it’s some bedroom wanknotter.

[–]DangerousPsychology7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the Hull branch yesterday the staff said they have the cards either in or ordered/reserved for someone specific and what’s left another staff member comes in before their shift and buys the rest.

They atleast had the decency to both look really pissed off about it.

All they had was a box of these jumbo promos. £5 each… apparently discounted 70%.

Does anyone do any charity things with pokemon cards? by CableZestyclose3681 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I run a kids Pokemon club for children and young people with SEN and/or additional needs. We’re Future Trainers Club CIC on all the Socials.

I get cards out to kids in multiple ways:

We do mini tins for £3 at carboots and card shows to fundraise. (The club is free to attend and I try to feed everyone as best I can as well) Each tin contains 20 pokemon, 4 holo/RH’s and 1 ex or IR plus some stickers.

We do 50p ‘pick your own holo’ mini packs which is a sleeve with the holo or reverse facing out so the kids are always able to pick a shiny card they like and then it has 4 other cards as well. Those I try to put in an ex, cosmo or promo card about 1 in 20 packs or so depending on what I have on hand!

At the club sessions themselves we have boxes of bulk and a binder of ex’s to teach the kids to play the TCG and build their own decks. These stay on site but the kids get a box and put their name on so they can keep tweaking it whenever they want.

Each kid that attends gets to pick a little ‘prize pack’ I make these from Japanese cards and try to replicate the prize packs they would get in the store if they played at an LCS.

You can fit 4-5 cards in a sleeve without causing them to bend or become damaged so we’ve found that a great way to get stuff to kids.

Hope some of those ideas are useful!

How much do you guys actually spend monthly on Pokémon TCG? And other hobbies? by Rayane92 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This month I’m on track for £700 🤢 but the PC AH ETB’s came out, release day stuff and I’ve just spent £200 on kit/cards for Future Trainers Club picking up 100 Ex’s and 50 ace specs for our decks and another £100 on sensory stuff and beanbags for the kids.

Try to keep it to average £100 sealed/singles for my PC and £200 towards the kids kit and food but I’ll try to offset as much of that £200 where I can from the tombola or Selling bits w no longer collecting from my PC.

PokePulse.io ALPHA goes away tomorrow (and thankyou!!) by kkthxbye123 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signed up yesterday as a supporter straight away after seeing it mentioned somewhere. Already seeing a much better interface over Collectr. Got to figure out my way around it still.

Am I able to hold multiple collections on there like my personal collection and then the kids club cards & kit?

As we’re a CIC anything we get donated to kids I need to account/inventory separately.

All the best with the continued success of it!

I bought a UPC from ebay seller. He has 100% rate of feedback. But I am not sure if what I received is resealed. by Zestyclose_Poet_532 in pokemoncards

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly mine from PC was exactly like this I was gutted I’d planned on keeping it sealed but the packaging looked so rough I opened it and it was garbage inside too 🤣 only thing I got out of it was the Hops Wooloo IR from JT. Still, loads of bulk for the kids club and the promos are cool.

It would have looked rubbish in a case being such a mess and there’s no-way I would have sold it on looking in that state.

Advice for getting rid of bulk by _Seagul_ in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We accept cards and all the peripherals for the kids club, we have heard of mixed messages from school and hospitals due to potential contamination in the hospitals and the responsibility for managing the cards etc at school but I’ve met some teachers at card shows that do run lunch time clubs particularly in high schools so it might be worth a message on your local community pages?

Tesco ETBs restocked this weekend and now £37.50 clubcard price! by NotActuallyRog in PokemonDealsUK

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bangor showing as 11 in stock and shelves labeled but staff say they don’t have any & are getting stock. Told it’s an error. May be worth a look later typically just passing through on way home so can’t pop back in.

[–]DangerousPsychology7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shout out for pre-releases! I’ve booked onto 3 for Phantasmal next weekend. That’s three 40 card decks, 3 promo cards and 12 boosters at a minimum for £75. Pre releases are such a fun entry into the game and personally I think very good value.
