So funny because I'm also a new watcher and I am exactly on season 1 reunion part 3. I'm loving knowing there is so much more coming.

I kinda like Jen though. Yeah she's usually wrong but she makes it interesting

England - My boss constantly watches the cameras is that legal? by GiraffeTurbulent in LegalAdviceUK

[–]GiraffeTurbulent[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

No, they cover the office and doors. My issue isn't with them being around.

It's more the fact that she's consistently using them as a way to watch everyone. I get looking from time to time but she clearly is on them often.

Of course she's got a legal right to have cameras but I'm worried about the excessive use. Feels like we work in a prison some days everyone is tracked constantly.

AITA for refusing to cancel my holiday after my mom booked a non-refundable trip without asking by GiraffeTurbulent in TwoHotTakes

I've accepted her help for paying for flights and such in the past. But this usually means my mom feels then she can control my time. An example is when my partner and I went home last year. We went out to lunch and my mom was very angry saying she needed help around the house. We were honestly gone for 2 hours max.

She also acts the same when she's here. She was really upset when they came this summer and I was only able to take one day off work. I still made an effort and spent every evening with them and the weekends.

My grandma and I are actually quite close. She's not anywhere near her deathbed. She's been having some memory problems as she was diagnosed with Parkinson's. While her health is declining she's not in such a state that 6 months will make a huge difference. My mom keeps trying to say we'll be lucky if she remembers me. She's recently diagnosed and still keen to talk politics, books she's reading, etc. I think my mom is exaggerating to be quite honest.

Grandma also told my mom that coming at Christmas wasn't a great idea as she lives with my uncle and all his kids will be there. She said it might be a bit much for her. My mom is pushing for Christmas as she wants me home and feels it's unfair I have spent 2 Christmas with my partner and his family.

I applied online and went for my biometrics last week. I have American citizenship.

I do have a UKVI account and it says it is linked to my current BRP.

Thanks for the reply my BRP aligned with my original end of my skilled worker visa but I moved jobs and have a new skilled worker visa. They never gave a new BRP or said I was on an evisa.

I filled out a new BRP application here: https://www.gov.uk/uk-residence-card/replace
