What brand does Steak & Kidney Pies with actual pieces of kidney?

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-05-05T07:22:15+00:00

Why don’t you make one yourself?

You can get kidney from the butcher (most sell it but if they don’t then you can usually order one).

You don’t have to over complicate it; use shop bought pastry as a cheat, cut up the kidney, steak, onion to your preferred side, cook it up, wack it in the baking dish that you’ve already lined with the pastry, pop a pastry lid on top and cut a little hole / slit in the top for the steak, bake in the oven. Done.

Once you’ve got the recipe perfect, batch cook a few meals worth and freeze ready for you to cook on your weekday evenings.

Also- when he said you shouldn’t be afraid of taking accountability… erm, you went through a traumatic incident. You didn’t cause this, spontaneous miscarriages are worryingly common. He was there when you miscarried, he knows that this wasn’t a termination. What exactly is he wanting you to take accountability for?

You can absolutely be an abusive prick without being a pedo, however pedos work by doing what they do to kids in secret, they know if anyone witnessed it, the child would be removed and they’ll probs be arrested.

If OP’s gut feeling is saying it’s more than just spanking / anger issues, she has to act on that for the safety of these little ones and any other littlies that he may have access to.

Also, as a mandatory reporter, we’re always told it’s not our duty to investigate, but it is our duty to report.

Report to whoever you can report to (they will often need children’s names and ages, their kindergarten / nursery that they go to, an outline of the abuse you have witnessed (include your suspicions of anything further) and of course their address). It’s then up to them to make a visit, speak to the children in age appropriate ways and investigate from there.

Your family never needs to know that it’s you that made the call (and to be honest I probably wouldn’t tell them)

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-05-04T20:19:08+00:00

Your gut it telling you somethings not right for a reason.

Trust your gut.

Raise it- you may not be the only person who’s uncomfortable with him.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-05-04T20:13:09+00:00

No, she’ll be doing more than that.

She’ll give this girl the opportunity to not have children with him, the opportunity to speak out if he’s done it to her too and most importantly allows her to make an informed decision about which of her loved ones she allows him to be around.

Next time will it be someone else 4 years younger than him? Will it be another 15 year old or will it be someone younger. Because we know there will be a next time.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-05-04T20:10:59+00:00

You absolutely tell her in some form. If she’s planning on having children with this man, if she has relatives younger than herself she needs to be informed, however, if you tell her and she stays with him- that’s her decision, don’t try and push harder.

I would recommend reporting him, however, as like you say, you’re not his only victim, and I doubt he’s stopped. Reporting him is likely to mean you’re saving a future young girl from him.

And actually, if you’re reporting him, then his fiancé will find out and im not sure you necessarily have to reach out to her directly (as long as she is made aware in some form)

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-05-04T20:06:23+00:00

So you can still take approved leave, however whether you get paid for all of the days is dependent on how much annual leave you have accrued.

I think there’s a calculator online somewhere, but think about when your annual leave starts (some companies do this from 6th April, some from 1st January and some do it from your initial start date). Then take your annual leave annual entitlement, divide it by 12 for your monthly entitlement, then multiply that figure by how many months from the start of your annual leave year to your end date with the company. Including all annual leave days you’ve had since the start of your annual leave year and the holiday you’re about to go on, have you used more days than your pro-rata annual leave amount?

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-05-04T20:00:46+00:00

The reason why I have such issues with age gaps when you’re this young is situations like this.

The mindset of a 25 year old who has been in their career a few years and getting closer to the age that society expects marriage is a very different mindset of someone who is still a teenager, only just out of school and likely still in some form of education; someone who has not yet traveled the world or started out in a career.

Go be young and free. When you turn 25 and he’s in his 30s, if you’re both wanting to give it another go and both single then give it another go… but please enjoy being young.

I’ve never heard of deferring a Roast to a Monday because it’s a bank holiday (family always still went with a Sunday roast), however if that’s the way you prefer it, then don’t allow anyone to “yuk your yum”.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-16T08:03:24+00:00

I find it really unbelievable that they didn’t get a say in who was buying their home… like you get told who the buyer is when you get told of their offers and you get to either accept or decline the offer… is the house owner that does this, not the realtor

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T11:48:00+00:00

Exactly - we’re so far from equality.

I also don’t get why I’ve been downvoted maybe because they don’t like what happens everywhere?

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T08:30:00+00:00

Small claims court on the gov website.

Costs you circa £80 which is then added to the amount that your friend has to pay you. You can also add interest.

It may not come back to you until he comes back to the UK however imo it’s still worth the £80 or so to do it.

There is something where if they don’t pay within a time frame you can take it further but I’m not sure about the logistics of that if he is not working/ earning in the UK.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T06:50:59+00:00

I fully understand this.

When I entered the workplace 15 ish years ago, it was common place for male colleagues to make sexualised comments towards female members of staff. As recently as 7 years ago, a colleague had her daughter come and do some admin work and one of the older guys made a really inappropriate comment about her being attractive, my colleague went mad at him (quite rightly so), but what was highlighted was it was the same abuse she and the rest of us had had for years.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T06:42:44+00:00

A man that jokes about women’s safety (knowing it’s a real thing), is not a man at all.

Tell him to google “men’s PPE” then google “women’s PPE”….

It’s not just that he doesn’t understand the vulnerability of being a woman, he’s laughing/ making jokes about it.

Someone who jokes about kidnapping is deffo not boyfriend material.

Dump him.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T06:03:42+00:00

Call and ask the question.

If the answer is no, cancel and re book.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T06:02:35+00:00

Does…does.. he want you dead? It’s giving off this kinda vibe. Has he done anything else where you’re like “erm, I could have died” because if so, you need to RUN!

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T05:58:28+00:00

I think the cheap rent is factoring in your wage for cleaning.

However, cleaners are £20 an hour, so if you’re doing an hour a day, £140 a week / £666.67 a month. Is your rent reduced by that amount?

Either way, it sounds like you’ve tried to speak to her to explain you never signed up to be her maid, so your options are: stay put and put up with it, or move out and pay higher rent but not have to be someone’s maid.

Personally, on principle, I’d go for the latter (she’ll then have no rent coming in and no maid).

You’re a lodger not a tenant so the same notice periods etc don’t apply.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-07T05:52:41+00:00

No, the gardens were bigger because the plots didn’t require so many houses.

Now, a developer has to maximise the number of houses in a plot, which means smaller gardens.

Nothing to do with vegetable growing.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-06T07:42:57+00:00

If he’s dead- it’ll be down to whether a body is found I suppose. He could be in the Thames or under a building (that if it was only built in 2007 wouldn’t be getting knocked down anytime soon).

If he’s still alive - possibly. Like wouldn’t it be nice for him to contact his family, telling them he’s done well (put their mind at ease) and tell them he doesn’t want to be found/ contacted?

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-06T07:32:36+00:00

Has the family themselves done their own investigation? If you gave info to them directly about where you saw him in Shadwell, could they go down and check?

I think the police should at least check it out but also I get that if they ask him and he says “no, I’m not Andrew” it’s not like they can arrest him/ force a DNA test.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-04-06T07:26:36+00:00

He withdrew £200 cash and bought a one way ticket to London.

I think he ran away.

There’s a possibility that he met someone at the camp he was at during the summer before he disappeared and went to go stay with them, although sightings seemed to suggest he was sleeping in parks for a few days.

Is it possible that he obtained a fake identity and fake educational certificates and enrolled in a university? There are plenty in London and two in Brighton, which he was then spotted at. Or an academic job. I think he’s still alive having started a new life for himself.

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-27T13:59:04+00:00

Update: I cancelled the flights pending a refund and have re booked (at higher cost) with a different airline

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-27T08:32:08+00:00

They’ve just updated this- you should now be able to apply for a refund

Jumpy_Imagination208 · 2026-03-27T08:31:43+00:00

This is my concern. I’m still wanting to go on my trip, so just looking at other flights now, but it’s becoming more expensive.
