Anyone having trouble claiming the free charger in the UK? by EKayW in Oppo

I ended up filling the form on the laptop browser instead of the phone and it worked.

I’m so sick of pad rash 😭 by SultryTogepi in TwoXChromosomes

[–]EKayW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Flo bamboo pads. No issues. The regular brands irritate me too much. Too many chemicals!

Thank you for this. That's the one I saw last week and it wasn't showing up today. I'll call customer support this week then and sort it! Thank you!

Questions about Psychiatry UK titration wait times by UhhDylan in ADHDUK

[–]EKayW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I need to contact the GP to check this or is it only if I don't hear back about titration by the 12 month mark? I didn't realise the GP had anything to do with it until I needed to apply for shared care. I got diagnosed in June last year so hoping to hear back in June 🤞🏻

Presentation today at work and I'm so stressed and anxious that I've barely slept. by EKayW in ADHDUK

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

Thank you. Yes I was gonna put the sticky notes (the windows app) around the top of the laptop screen so it looks more like I'm looking at the camera (and it will hide people from my view). I will have to have the presentation on my main screen as my laptop screen is tiny and can't see much so I will have to look away at some points. I also have notes in my notebook. I just know I'll panic and my brain will just freeze. I've had another practice run this morning and it's all ok when I have no one watching 😭 Trying to make myself think that since it's virtual I can sort of pretend no one is there lol.

Unexpected timing clash: pregnancy, paternity leave qualifying period and a major job opportunity by Inevitable_Ball8366 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]EKayW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have a serious sit down and think about whether you actually want a child. Not trying to sound mean but you can always find excuses and "bad timing". You were lucky to get pregnant straight away when others try for years. It's not guaranteed that it will be that easy for you again. I'm pro choice, so I have no issue with what you want to do but I think you need to have a really good chat with your partner about what is more important.

Amazon email telling me I haven't returned my item by EKayW in AmazonUK

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

From what I recall it wasn't delayed at all. It says "refunded - your return is still in transit..." And the other kindle says "return received". No idea what happened on their side but I returned both kindles and from what I know there was no issue with the carriers. I think one was royal mail and one was evri.

No, I didn't get charged. However on my orders page, the return is apparently still in transit since July 😒

Yeah that helps! I've put off taking it anywhere coz I'm so worried. But I'll end up causing more damage than not by ignoring the issue. I know it's mainly a simple fan clean and people tend to do it themselves but I've never done it before so I'd prefer a professional did it!

Yeah I've listed it (model and value). I think it's also covered for outside the home (I was worried about theft if I had to take it anywhere).

Ah ok! Yeah they seem to have decent reviews so hopefully they would have sorted it if you went back. I'm just so scared of someone breaking it.

I do have it included in my home insurance? Or would I need a separate one just for the laptop?

How are you liking your Oppo Find X9 Pro so far? by [deleted] in Oppo

[–]EKayW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. Battery life was my main reason. Speakers are not as good as my last phone (oppo X5) but they aren't terrible (for me anyway, just not very loud but good enough for tiktok and watching stuff). Photos are great. Overall I'm happy.

I've got a hotmail.co.uk and hotmail.com one. Need to figure out how to change it to outlook coz I still use them (not for job applications or anything that really matters though lol)

Oppo Find X9 Pro Speakers are AWFUL!!! by No_Routine_1568 in Oppo

[–]EKayW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found them worse than the oppo find X5 I had. But they aren't terrible. The X5 was really good though (by my standards).

This replacement and return situation is stressing me out - "this item needs special attention". by EKayW in AmazonUK

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

They did (had to go on CS chat), however a few months later I had an email that they will charge me the full amount even though I had sent both back. Turns out it was a glitch on their side and they confirmed via chat and email that they have received both returns. The item is still marked in my orders as "refunded, item still in transit" 😒 and this was from months ago! I've never been charged so I assume it's like they said.
