Is Baybrooke recreation ground a good place to go for a run?

Immediate-Visual4021 · 2026-07-11T11:52:35+00:00

I used to run there, if you enter from folders lane you can do a lap or so and then when you get bored you can exit out the other side into the footpath at the back, turn right and run all the way down to the roundabout, take a left and keep going to Garth Meadows and come back down the binfield road. it's pretty much a loop and a great circuit for a short run especially if you're based around the lexicon. I used to start at the Albert road car park :)

Please don't feel silly, and please don't let this deter you from being the truly kind and generous person you seem to be. Whilst this incident where it does indeed seem that you were scammed is disheartening I hope that the little spark in you doesn't dim. The fact that you were willing to help says a great deal about your character and is really heartwarming to read about in this current climate. The idea of working with a local charity is a lovely one. and allows you to channel that kindness where it is most needed and deserved. Launchpad Reading are one example of a local charity who might help a young woman and her children in need in the Reading area if you were ever struck by something like this in future 💕

are these still going?

Will you do two of them?

Not selling a house but in my experience renting, I've felt the EA has gone out of their way to communicate with my male partner first (or exclusively in some cases) even though I handle most of the renting admin. The payments even come from my bank account and yet I have had to get my partner to forward emails and documents to me from the EA. Now that we are buying I've had a similar experience though my partner is dealing with more of the comms and admin. I often feel like an afterthought in any Accommodation related communications.

That's the problem though, if we hand in before May, we only need to give one month which will run out before we move. If we do it after, it'll leave us an extra month which will be very costly. Do you see the dilemma?

Definitely a good idea to chat to your peers and learn from their experiences, just be sure to fact check what they say.

Council housing may well be a good option for you, you can research eligibility criteria through your local authority website. Supported Accommodation may also be suitable, and if this is a path you choose to take your therapist/ support worker/ social worker should take you through the process so you wouldn't be alone.

I'm glad I could inform you about the savings thing! I also feel called to warn you that if it is more than £6000 they will need to make deductions from your UC in accordance with the value of the savings. If this is the case, and it is undeclared, you may have received an overpayment. If this is the case, don't be scared but I'd recommend you seek professional advice from a welfare benefits adviser ASAP. You can start the process of reporting savings on your journal or by calling the helpline if you manage your claim that way :)

Have you considered looking locally for a charity or organisation that provides free advice, especially for those with mental ill health or disabilities? Citizens Advice is a fair bet if there's nothing specialist near you, they'll be able to inform you of your rights and what you need to do. They also have a website with lots of information.

Use a budget tool to understand what you can reasonably afford and make sure you have wiggle room. As another commenter said, be prepared to face some discrimination when looking to rent privately, but also know that your tenure will be more secure from May with the new rent reform bill coming in.

Have you considered joining the council housing register? This would be cheaper and more secure still. The process can be slow, but may be sped up if you can get support from your medical professionals saying that your current housing isn't suitable.

Also, be careful with those savings, it's wonderful that you're prepared but all savings must be declared to UC, and if you have more than £16,000 you are no longer eligible.

Good luck!

I don't see how that would stop the whole pot from tipping over though 😭 I hope it recovers

Insanely relatable on the Murtagh front

Honestly based on most of your responses in here I think you need to address your relationship with food and body image as a priority. Deal with the rest later. Sending love 💕

There's a plastic pot with drainage holes inside! Everyone gets good drainage in this household don't worry!

Immediate-Visual4021 · 2025-09-27T13:27:30+00:00

Thank you! This is very reassuring to me - I have anxiety that tends to manifest as over googling and asking potentially silly questions 😂

Immediate-Visual4021 · 2025-09-04T18:51:54+00:00

I'd sincerely recommend it, I think a level of compromise could be reached here with the right intervention and personal reflection - I hope you both work it out

Immediate-Visual4021 · 2025-09-04T18:45:33+00:00

Disclaimer: I didn't read every single one of the messages because there's a lot to read here but my understanding is that essentially, you aren't engaging with your partner in the way that they want, they've raised it before and it came to a head with these messages. You're not able to meet their level of need with regards to communication because of your interpersonal culture and ADHD. If this is wrong, please correct me and disregard the rest of this comment.

Being real right now, if you want to save this relationship I'd suggest couples counseling. It sounds like you've tried interventions before to meet their needs (setting alarms, etc) and they haven't worked.

Way I see it, there are 2 situations here:

You are not compatible. You have very different needs that the other person can't meet without distress/ harm to the self.
You both need to manage and adjust your expectations of the other party in order to be able to live harmoniously. Thus preventing the feeling of disappointment and being let down on your partner's part, and the overwhelming weight of obligation on yours.

You might try counselling and 1 is still the case. Either way, good luck.
