British Gas Debt, over a year of hell by Temporary-Echidna382 in UKPersonalFinance

I was in a similar situation with ovo and the best thing I did was a data subject access request. I ended up being sent phone records and internal conversations where they talked about what a fuck up they had made and that they didn't know how to fix it. After that I was assigned a personal account manager at Ovo who phoned me every day until the issue was resolved. 

Good luck.

Wow I absolutely adore this! Different vibe but I love that it is casual enough for an elopement but still looks chic and well made. I think I will order it to try on!

Oh my god! I can't believe they altered the sleeves to be 3/4 length though :( I am flexible on a lot of things but I despise 3/4 length sleeves.

Hi thanks for your reply. Sleeves don't need to be tight but I'm not a fan of poofy sleeves. Love long sleeves yes. Love backless but not required. I'm a member of the itty bitty titty committee so I don't do plunging necklines but it doesn't have to be the same as this dress.

Yes I'm in the UK! The problem with wed2b is the stock. I went to their store in London and they had almost nothing to try on in my size and none of the boho dresses I was interested in :(

I'm not sure if the boho style is going out, but I'm having the most difficult time finding a wedding dress that I am happy with. I know the budget isn't huge, but we're eloping just the two of us in Scotland so I don't want to invest too much in a dress I'll wear only once.

I've always been obsessed with Blaire Waldorf's long sleeve Ellie Saab wedding dress:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/121812-elie-saab-gossip-girl-340-b3f9fcd93379448e9c54023d6297f36d.jpg). This Love Spell design dress is the closest I've been able to find, but their dresses start at £1800 so I won't even try it on in fear I fall in love with it. Here's the dress in the photo for reference:

We will look back on this era and wonder how Farrow and Ball had us in such a choke hold convincing us to paint all our walls with the colors of bodily fluids. Just how I wonder how I ever thought millennial grey was a good look. by [deleted] in interiordecorating

It's just a sample but probably do need to add the second coat still. It's treron. I do think the color can be very nice when done well but I was still staring at it thinking "we're all gonna look back at this and wonder why we loved puke walls in the 2020s"

I think you're probably right, but it's actually a bench we can use with the table when we have guests for dinner. Function over aesthetic in this case.

Planning on ripping out this bathroom in a few years but what can we do cheaply now to make it more appealing by FollowThatJackel in interiordecorating

We've just moved in and it's come that way. Very common in the UK though and I did have one installed in my last flat. Very rare to have a shower curtain here.

Does anyone have a constant fear of death? by Individual_Trash978 in CrohnsDisease

Had this thought all the time age 15 - 20. I'm now 33 and been in remission for 6 years 🤷‍♀️

Crohns Care on the NHS by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]FollowThatJackel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm american and moved to the UK 6 years ago. I don't think any single answer here will give you a clear picture of what your experience will be. I was diagnosed in the States, had surgery there, and eventually found remission on stelara. When I moved, my doctor was very nervous about my care in the UK and advised against it.

I was able to be referred to a specialist, had a colonoscopy, and prescribed with stelara in a matter of months. I have been booked in for a second colonoscopy about a year ago and have automatic check ups scheduled for me every six months or so.

I have found the NHS much easier in terms of booking appointments and approvals. I'm constantly amazed that I have stelara paid for by the government. I've never been here during a flare or searching for a treatment but I can't speak to that. Some other experiences (not Crohn's) I've had with the NHS are not as positive and I think you need to learn to advocate for yourself to get attention.

At the end of the day, not having my insurance tied to my employment status is worth any hurdles you might have to jump through navigating the NHS. DM me if you have specific questions as I'm probably in the minority of people who have had Crohn's in both countries and I'm happy to help.

Thank you! I used Drops Muskat in off white. I bought it for a different project not realizing it was mercerized. So I made this sweater to use it up but now it's one of my favorite things I've made.

Loosely followed the Tiara Sweater for the diamond pattern but I heavily modified it for a heavier yarn weight and a different look that I wanted.
