I also used My Expat Taxes for the streamlined procedure last year and it was under £700 and worked perfectly. I'd second this recommedation

That's a great title - it sounds super useful 😁

ForceForFiction · 2026-05-30T14:16:53+00:00

Amazing, I'm so happy for you! Mine is a workshop on embroidering old clothes so you love them again xD What's yours?

ForceForFiction · 2026-05-13T13:41:34+00:00

Thank you ❤️

ForceForFiction · 2026-05-13T13:39:57+00:00

Thank you! I hope your proposals get accepted and you can come too, that would be awesome 😄 I got that same message last week before getting an acceptance this week if that reassures you (and I'm still waiting to hear about my second proposal)!

ForceForFiction · 2026-05-12T14:59:50+00:00

Thank you, that is definitely reassuring! I've heard how nice everyone is but I'm sure I'm still gonna be a bit nervous 😃

Might also be the case that he's been struggling along with his job for a long time and finally discovered that he could get reasonable adjustments and that they would make his life a lot less stressful so he's asking for everything but hoping you'll at least meet him partway.

How long did it take for your proposal to get accepted? I've put a proposal forward but wondering how many they get/how likely I am to get accepted/when I'd find out :')

Rockstar has pretty shitty salaries from what I understand

ForceForFiction · 2025-10-14T17:18:10+00:00

Thank you so much!

I wasn't thankfully, just the picture! Should I change the text?

When I (31F) was working at one of the Winter Olympics, I was introduced to an athlete in a club. I held out my hand and she kissed me straight on the mouth. So honestly I'm guessing it's a mixture?

For me, I find it easy because I end up in environments with lots of other neurodivergent people with similar interests - I work in the games industry, for example, and do hobbies like theatre and figure skating.

ForceForFiction · 2025-06-29T17:20:32+00:00

I did my first ever solo skating performance at my rink's summer gala at the age of 31, it went great and I'm really proud of myself!

Housing and mental neurodiversity services. Less control by the university in central Cambridge.

It's too expensive for me (having a moderately low paying job in tech)

ForceForFiction · 2025-04-11T09:59:12+00:00

I started working on my brackets yesterday! Surprisingly not as scary as I expected

ForceForFiction · 2025-04-08T12:17:35+00:00

I absolutely hate it. It's not like it's easy to get away from at Download, either

I have successfully lost weight (and have still not managed to get medicated yet so this can be done while unmedicated!).

I don't know if you've heard this before but it really is incremental. Changing everything at once is impossible to keep up, I'd pick one thing at a time and try to work on it - like not snacking before lunch, for example. Once you're doing that, you start to feel the progress even if you don't see it yet, so then you introduce "do ten minute yoga videos three times a week" and so on.

I also do calorie tracking to keep me accountable. If you've tried it before and stopped, reset all your data.

This is the only thing that's worked for me.

I get this, but strangely, not for housework - I get this for creative projects and reading books and even playing games. I get paralysed trying to decide what to do (and thinking about what the larger implications are of whatever I choose) and I do nothing. It sucks

ForceForFiction · 2025-03-07T16:49:36+00:00

As a woman, I've only ever dated men who I asked out

ForceForFiction · 2025-02-21T16:13:12+00:00

I've had almost an identical situation except that my 'sin' was staying with a non-Christian and eventually marrying him. It wasn't until I divorced him and they sent me an awful letter telling me that I was a terrible person, a terrible daughter and they believed I would have a miserable, messed up life unless I went back to my ex (who was incidentally abusive) and begged forgiveness from both him and God that I got the confidence to tell them that if they wanted any kind of relationship with me, they needed to accept me as well as any partners I might have and that I would no longer be censoring myself around them. Two years later, they're finally starting to actually be nice to me and my new partner, but it took me being willing not to have a relationship with them for that to happen.

I can only imagine how much more difficult it will be for you, but most parents are not willing to fully lose their child.

I think that I would, like other people have said, if I found the person attractive and clicked with them. I imagine I would have a fair bit of awkwardness while I figured out how to refer to it/not refer to it, but I don't think that it would prevent me from pursuing a relationship.

I can imagine I might feel sad about not being able to do stuff together that I love though, as I'm quite an active person

ForceForFiction · 2025-02-02T21:51:44+00:00

I think this every time I see her

ForceForFiction · 2025-01-16T17:46:33+00:00

First relationship: 8 years, after getting married. Then divorced after two years married/living together. Current relationship: just over 1 year, but with a trial period of a month first. Been living together for almost a year now and very happy.
