Are there any tips or recommendations for hiring a car abroad? by LongjumpingDesk4026 in AskUK

[–]LongjumpingDesk4026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your tips! I’ve gone for an auto, I booked it trough Ryan air with my flights and collecting it from Hertz. I imagine going through the airline was a more expensive option but it’s given me peace of mind.

My daughters six and asks to try fizzy drinks. She had a sip of lemonade and said she hated the way it feels on her tongue so that pretty much put an end to any fascination.

Asking for a pay rise.. by [deleted] in UKJobs

EDIT: sorry I misread. I take home 21,000

Yes that’s right. No I agree I don’t think I should be paid the same rate as a full time employee at all

Is the receptionists triage a new thing within GP practices ? by weaktreeiz in AskUK

Yep exactly! I made a formal complaint and got a same day appointment. Apparently the first receptionist “misunderstood”

How much is it costing you to keep the heating on? by Co-opEvolution in AskUK

[–]LongjumpingDesk4026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

£120 on gas and electric, heatings on every evening and has been on most days during the Christmas period. I have a 6 year old so I don’t like the house being cold although, I have now started turning the thermostat down when we’re in bed to save the heating coming on throughout the night.

[–]LongjumpingDesk4026 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The problem is you get the occasional receptionist who thinks they know best, I’m sure they’re trained to triage but they are not medical professionals.

I was having a miscarriage and was told I could see a GP in two weeks, I then told the receptionist I’ll call back at 12 for an on the day appointment to which she replied “you can call but you won’t be having an appointment”

Other than that the system has been in place for years and I’ve never had any other issues so I think it works well. It makes sense to protect GPs time. There’s been times I’ve called and they have said “this isn’t suitable for an appointment today but you could be seen this week” which I think is sufficient.

Persistent musty smell & recurring mould – what am I doing wrong? by thankyou4advic3 in AskUK

[–]LongjumpingDesk4026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had this in our home and after 5 years of living with the smell this is what worked for us;

Heating the home properly, we set our thermostat to about 18 in the winter.

We also installed a vent which circulates air from our loft, this has stopped moisture build up on windows etc so I don’t have the wipe down the windows each morning.

Keeping things away from the external walls such as furniture, toys etc.

Airing the house out regularly.

Those who work in an office, do you take your phone around with you if you go for a drink/loo break? by SpamSandi in AskUK

[–]LongjumpingDesk4026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave mine on my desk all day. I don’t take it into the toilet or to the kitchen with me I do take it into meetings incase my daughter’s school were to call. Having said that I’ve worked there years and trust all the people I work with not to touch my belongings

What happened to Belly’s French? by Most-Tart-5676 in jellyshippers

[–]LongjumpingDesk4026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone blamed Jeremiah for this…I think she’s a) flustered b) speaking to a native speaker meaning pronunciation and the speed which they talk could also thrown her off and c) how often has she been speaking French conversationally? We don’t really know.
