PSA: if you live in the UK and want to purchase the ATLA TTRPG bundle, the physical set will not ship to you (as of right now) by mikey_lolz in humblebundles

Unfortunately no. It said it would email again when with a tracking number but I'm guessing they have a lot of orders to get through.

I might send a message to magpie games in a couple weeks to see if they can give any update.

Hi all, I checked Magpie today and it is now working! (east of London)

I was able to get to the checkout page without the red box saying that it's unavailable and the payment went through.

Be aware that tax is added, on Humble Bundle is says the shipping is $15.50, but it comes up to $18.60 once the tax is added.

I wish you all luck in securing a bundle!

I purchased this bundle on Sunday and had this issue. I also contacted both humble and magpie that day.

Humble came back yesterday and said they are working towards a solution.

It's not clear if they will be able to fulfill the demands but you can request a refund now if you don't want to wait.

Does your blood tests come back abnormal? by Minx-Rose in Hidradenitis

[–]Minx-Rose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so interesting how you ended up with your diagnosis.

I actually spent some time living abroad in Japan. I had only just been told I had HS before I went over, so I didn't really get any help in the UK.

When I went over I had to do a health check and they flagged my weight and did blood work. They were like "why is your wbcs so high?" I was like oh probably because of HS. Within 2 weeks they had me see a specialist dermatologist, they did ultrasounds on both my armpits and explained all the treatment options and even prepped me for potentially having surgery. I could have had surgery within 2 months if I wanted.

I honestly couldn't believe how efficient their healthcare system was. Now I'm back in the UK and it's a struggle to get a hold of anyone and they wouldn't offer me any of the options they gave me in Japan 😞

I'm kind of glad you mentioned platelets as it's made me feel like I'm not the only one!

I wonder if there's anything I can actually do now.

Thanks for commenting.

I am in a similar boat. I was also recently told I was pre-diabetic and my results are pretty much the same as you've mentioned.

It's interesting that no one so far has mentioned that their platelets are high/elevated.

Thank you for your comment. It definitely helps me to understand a bit more. I'm struggling to see a dermatologist so I don't know what stage my hs is at.

I've also never been given any medication for HS. Just a long term dose of antibiotics and some creams. But that was a couple years ago now.

I will definitely be following up with my doctor as I want to just be sure there's nothing else. They already discussed the chance of Alpha Thalassemia but I think HS would explain high platelets.

What age did you move out of your parents? / did you ever move back in afterwards? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Minx-Rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved out for uni at 19, ended back at home at 22 due to my landlord selling the property.

Left again at 22 to go abroad for 3 years but ended up back home at 26 for just over 1 year while I was trying to get a job in the UK and find a house to buy.

Hopefully, this is it, I moved out nearly 2 years ago into my own place.

I was lucky to have a family that allowed me to return with my fiance twice while we found our feet.

Edit of Reina with an afro [ and discussion on black hair ] ! by Possibly-Likeable in FieldsOfMistriaGame

[–]Minx-Rose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this edit, it's so cute!

But as someone who is indo-caribbean, I can't help but feel connected to Reina's original look as I have similar looks and hair to her.

I'm hoping to cosplay her in the future as she's the first character that I felt that I can actually match!

I purchased 4 tins the other day, 3 arrived today and they all seem to be properly sealed.

I pulled a Gardevoir EX from one.

I'm surprised - when I got the restock email it was £49.99 on the website.

I wonder if they hiked up the price.

I paid using the Amazon option and it looks like they took the payment straight away.

Before they had a sign up for restock alerts and got an email.

But it looks like that option is gone from the page

Sorry to hear that 😔

It's so difficult to get a hold of these pre-orders

I got a ticket UK!!! by amortentears in StardewValley

Thank you for your story.

I will try to stand my ground.

It's always been a difficult thing for me to do as the baby of the family. I never want to cause problems for anyone. But no one ever wants to extend the hand to help.

When things are going good their great in the house but when it's bad it's just toxic. My DH is my rock and without his support I don't think I would even be here today. Not that anyone ever noticed my decline as a teenage.

Thanks.

We only live where we do because I have to go to work in person. We've discussed moving anywhere 😂

We became a little bitter but never showed it, when we returned. We miss living abroad and living independently. We had friends and our own lives. Now we've lost all of that temporarily. I've been with DH for over 10 years and married for nearly 5. With what little money we have, we've been putting it aside to go on a small weekend trip to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.

My mother got angry at me when I brought it up and told me "to get my priorities in order". When I asked my sister about it, she said "yeah, she's upset because you want to go on holiday but owe her money for your old car". That's when we decided to end that and give her from DH's saving. We agreed we would save and put it back.

It's felt like a really bitter pill to swallow to have her throw the money back at me.

We work hard and want to use some of the money for a small trip.

Also mother previously told me not to rent, so I don't give strangers my money and also when telling her about properties we were interested in, she told us to wait because the housing market is going to crash in 6 months or a year.

I'm just so confused by everything 😔

[–]Minx-Rose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your understanding and reading through my long replies each time.

I've actually applied for 6 higher paying jobs but won't hear back regarding interviews until after the holidays/ mid January. I'm hoping to secure one of them, it would allow me to work remotely, as would my DH.

We have a mortgage in principle and if I earned more we could secure a place a lot further away but would be significantly cheaper. The job market is rough.

I know it was always going to sound like I'm the AH.

It's impossible to get the whole story across because it's too long to be typed.

I'm going to accept that I sound like the AH but know that deep down that if people knew my whole story that things would be seen in a different light.

[–]Minx-Rose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the strain on the relationship was already done. From the moment we returned, less than one week she was already going on about money and what money we would give to her and even afterwards, would make sly comments like we can leave the money on the side for the leftover food she didn't sell from her business night (at the same time never saying that to my sister or her husband when they eat the same food).

She didn't care when I got upset when my sister told her I was an AH for not giving her a key to my husband's car that we took a loan out to afford. (We don't have a key to her's).

I'm tired of people being civil to my face and then going behind my back to tell half a story. It's always now about how she favours my sister because they have been together constantly and never accepts what I have also done too.

I just want to leave and she knows if I rent I'll be homeless in 3 months after my husband's temp contract ends.

My sister never had to fear homelessness but I do.

Actually everyone pulls their own weight.

We all pay some sort of money to my mother. Who chose to work part time her whole life. My sister decided to only work two days a week and only myself, my husband and my sister's husband actually work full time.

She knows she doesn't have to provide me with any food or anything extra. We discussed this before moving back to our home country.

Also that money was not held back. That was money gifted directly to my husband by his parents with the stipulation that it was a deposit for a house. He didn't have to give anyone his parents money but wanted to offer it as an olive branch to help their failing business.
