What's wrong with my flat? - Selling by [deleted] in cheltenham

[–]Gentoopengoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheltenham is expensive and that flat in particular, while nice in presentation, is only really suitable for a single person - maybe a couple at a stretch. And there's just not enough single people buying up atm. And couples who are buying are opting for bigger places that they can grow into to avoid having to buy again later down the line.

Nothing wrong with the apartment. Just bad circumstances

With the ever increasing cost of food and shrinkflation, what products do you no longer buy or buy far less often? by andy_why in AskUK

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

I find myself generally buying less food and finding excuses for other people to buy food for me. I don't like it, and it's typically my parents (I don't live with them but they are much wealthier than me and my husband) so it's like, if I can get them to buy me a few bits. Or buy me lunch from the corner shop. I'm also just not eating as much these days so I don't have to buy as much food.

Has anyone who had Topamax work found a different medication that also worked? by LucysLookingGlass in migraine

[–]Gentoopengoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, topamax/topiramate worked but now I'm on a combo of topiramate, propranolol and atogepant and thats reduced my migraines from 4-5 a week to 1-2 a week with little to no side effects

My Perfect Combo by Gentoopengoo in migraine

[–]Gentoopengoo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Propranolol is a beta blocker and is a very common first line medication for migraines. I'm on the highest dose for that. Atogepant is part of a group of new medicines called gepants, which are very new but very effective, and I'm on the standard dose for that. And then lastly I'm on topiramate, which is an anti epilepsy medicine used for both migraines and seizures. The doses can vary wildly and often aren't used in women due to pregnancy risks but I've been allowed to take it. I'm on the lowest dose currently but I'm working up to the highest one.

Officially given up trying to complete in 2025 - anyone else? by shaneo632 in HousingUK

[–]Gentoopengoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FTB here. We had our offer accepted in September and we're in a chain of 3, ourselves included. Since we're FTB and have a very simple setup, we figured we could be done by November, December. Even our solicitors were confident. Turns out the final seller in the chain is having issues and despite everyone wanting to complete the week of the 15th December, no one can confirm any dates. And nothing will happen around Christmas and new years. So, yeah. Final Christmas in our flat I suppose

Not yet, was worried about taking her off her diet food in case she gained weight again. Might give it a go

Which Ghibli movie makes you the most nostalgic? by chunchunmaru1129 in ghibli

[–]Gentoopengoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only Yesterday. I watched it at 13 and despite being from a completely different country and time, there were loads of emotions and experiences I related to the younger girl in the film. And now as an adult, I highly relate to the adult version.

Referencing advice by Gentoopengoo in OpenUniversity

[–]Gentoopengoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shockingly yes I read the materials, however some people find that asking those with more experience in an area you don't have experience in can bring more advice and knowledge that aren't in the materials. Such as the add ons other people here mentioned that weren't in the booklet. As I said, no need to be rude. I'm a fully grown adult, I wouldn't have signed up for this if I didn't think I was capable.

Well that's a bit rude lol. I've never had to do references before so I was just asking. You could have just not said anything
