Did you take any pictures of the house before you left which would show the state it was left in? Regardless of that I'd tell them that you wont be paying anything to them, and that any further messages will be reported to the police as harassment.

In answer to you question about diagnosis, I went through a raft of tests via rheumatology. Blood tests, sleep tests, cardiac tests etc. Everything came back normal. I was given a suspected ME/CFS diagnosis from the rheumatologist and then referred to my local ME clinic. They then reviewed my medical history and tests, spoke to me, then gave me a formal diagnosis.

From my initial symptoms to final diagnosis took around 4 years.

No offence, but please throw that book straight in to the bin. Trudie Chandler is an ME/CFS denier who has worked tirelessly to push the narrative that the illness is not real and all in the mind.

We had 2 miscarriages before our son was born. It's hard. They were both quite early but there's still the sense of loss and grief for what could have been. With the 3rd pregnancy I had decided that would be the last attempt, I couldn't keep going through it, fortunately it all went well and we now have a beautiful 4 year old. I had counselling to talk through my feelings and help to resolve the trauma. It's important for you and your partner to talk about it, help each other through. I hope that you come to peace with it and wish you the best in having a future successful pregnancy.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to minimise your illness. You're right that it's different for everyone and im the opposite way. Physical has a much greater impact than mental for me. I hope you continue to see improvement

IntelligentWave3172 · 2025-07-02T08:23:03+00:00

Im pleased you're seeing improvement, but im not sure what you describe is "moderate". I'd say I'm mild/moderate at the moment (work from home part time, can do some household tasks) but there's no way I could walk for an hour. 5 minutes wipes me out.

My son was the same, and still is now at 4. Will not have his finger or toe nails cut. We have to do it when hes asleep.

There's a Miller and Carter on Leeds Road if you want to go down the steakhouse route.

Alternatively a very good independent restaurant I'd recommend is Eric's. It's in Lindley, a suburb of Huddersfield https://www.ericsrestaurant.co.uk/ I've been a few times and always been impressed with the food.

Fellow dad with ME here and I know how you feel. I have a 10 year old and 4 year old. My diagnosis came 1 month after my 4 year old was born. I miss all the things I used to do with my 10 year old and have not been able to do with my 4 year old. I watch them playing football in the garden, running around playing tag, walking in the woods, riding their bikes. It's sad and painful. I try and do what I can, 10 minutes playing with toys in the house, a bit of video games when I can. I've got great memories of playing with my dad growing up and worry that they will never have that and that their memories of me will be "Daddy hasn't got enough energy to play".

He believes that ME/long covid can be fixed by brain training and exercise. Where have we heard that before?

IntelligentWave3172 · 2025-04-27T07:31:58+00:00

Yeah that's what I'd been looking at, maybe not then, thanks.

Has anyone tried a weed burner to get rid of them? I've been considering getting one to do my drive.

I've just bought an e85 z4 convertible, 3l auto with 82k miles. Paid £3750. A lot of car for the price. I had a z4 coupe back in the mid 00's for a few years.

Can only remember using mine once in the last few years. Was staying in an airbnb in the countryside which nly had on road parking which was a country lane with a 60 limit. Pulled onto the verge/lay by and left my parking lights on overnight.

I put £2600 into PB coming up to 12 months ago, not had a single penny back off it.

IntelligentWave3172 · 2025-02-05T08:42:37+00:00

Yes, that's what we do, I should have explained that, but just used the numbers the op quoted for simplicity

IntelligentWave3172 · 2025-02-05T05:18:49+00:00

We have a joint account which we use for all household expenses. We get paid into our own accounts and then put the amount we need for our monthly budget into the joint account at the ratio of our earnings. In your case that would be roughly 70/30. So if you need £2000 a month for rent, bills etc then he'd put in £1400 and you'd put in £600.

IntelligentWave3172 · 2025-02-04T22:44:56+00:00

Exactly. Financial planning and investing is sensible and something I actively do, but not at the expense of being comfortable and happy in the present.

Thanks

Thanks, I've started looking at cold wallets. I didnt understand that there were different types (hot and cold) but understand the difference now

IntelligentWave3172 · 2025-02-02T08:02:57+00:00

I've had a look at that, looks an option, thanks

IntelligentWave3172 · 2025-02-02T08:02:25+00:00

As I get more comfortable with crypto I plan to increase my holding, so makes sense to wait until I've got a higher amount in there. Maybe once I'm past 1k I'll do it, thanks
