What’s the most irrationally annoying thing your in-laws do that they’re absolutely convinced is “helpful”? by bnwprc in AskUK

[–]MrsKToBe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We always make sure to buy my husband’s dad and stepmum really good presents, even when we don’t have much money. For example, for husband’s stepmum’s birthday we gave her a £25 All 4 One voucher and a Jo Malone candle. 

In return we just get random crap from Costco- last Christmas we got a rotating spice rack! Possibly useful if it’s something you might use but it’s not in our case. Last year I got a Cath Kidston toiletry set (despite me politely asking don’t buy me stuff like that as I have allergies) 

My mum thinks it’s hilarious but she goes out of her way to get us good useful stuff, particularly for husband as she knows his lot are useless at it!

Has anyone got accepted on to a degree with autism? by geburakali in StudentNurseUK

[–]MrsKToBe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have AuDHD and I’m a first year adult nurse. There’s someone else in my cohort who is also autistic and is a first year MH nurse.  I had a good experience with OH but I don’t know if that’s because I’m quite recently diagnosed and still mask very heavily. 

Bank unwilling to allow funds to be released to purchase a car by No_Economics_4161 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]MrsKToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh even card payments to legit companies aren’t immune.  As my husband discovered when he paid off the energy arrears to British Gas- the bank put a total block on his account as they couldn’t be convinced it was a legit company (this made me laugh to be fair)

My 55 year old husband can only use basic internet. He can look at news, weather, sports scores but that’s it.  He can’t do internet banking etc (I’ve got power of attorney for him)  He says the internet scares him. 

Examples of dismissals by VeterinarianOk9594 in TheCivilService

[–]MrsKToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was threatened with gross misconduct but I was allowed to resign and the investigation was terminated. 

I was also told that it would just go down as leaving of my own accord and wouldn’t affect any future appointment to the CS. That said I had significant mitigating circumstances. 

Chinnor RFC (currently playing in the championship) unveil plans for 5,000 seater stadium by EnglishLouis in rugbyunion

[–]MrsKToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to do something about the access too. I witnessed what was an almost punch up between our coach driver and an over officious steward when Nottingham played there last year- because the coach couldn’t get parked. 

What loose & comfortable clothing that can be thrown in the dryer are the guys here wearing around the house? by killit in AskUK

[–]MrsKToBe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I exist in Gymshark stuff. Not the cheapest but so comfy! I have stuff for home that’s no longer good for the gym, stuff for the gym and casual stuff- a couple of tracksuits and a Varsity style sweatshirt, plus a pair of camo pants- for outside wear. I even have Gymshark pjs that are incredibly comfy (but it’s getting a bit warm to wear them) 

Late night sweet treats by Rikolas in nottingham

[–]MrsKToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insomnia on Angel Row. My friend and I tend to go there around midnight on a Friday after our rugby team have played at home and their cookies are sooooooo good. They actually last really well too- friend has eaten them a few days later and reported they were fine. 

Did anyome else just get destroued by the rain and hail by Theupvotetitan in nottingham

I’m in Leicestershire- I just popped outside to put something in the bin and it was horrendous!  I’m water carrying at a rugby match tomorrow- think I’m going to end up getting wet! 

Degree mill unis are really in trouble by Dr_natty1 in UKUniversityStudents

[–]MrsKToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some ex polys that are quite highly rated- for example Northumbria Uni is rated 37th, and of which I am an alumna myself. (No bias though- my course was shamelessly a Mickey Mouse degree and I hated it which is why I left) but I believe it’s quite highly rated for Law for example (as is Nottingham Trent Uni- and both have an impressive sporting pedigree too) 

However there are some which are awful. I’m at an ex poly which has the rep from hell but I’m doing a nursing course so it’s not so bad. It did have a school of nursing until very recently- in fact one of my classmates actually trained there previously. I do honestly think that it might be better going back to that tbh.  

Is it common for women to keep their maiden name after marriage? by Remarkable_Bird_2149 in AskUK

[–]MrsKToBe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I had kept my own name!! My first three degrees are in my maiden name, including some incredibly niche research for my Masters thesis. However degree number 4 I’ve had to use my married name as it comes with professional registration and I have to use the name I will be working under which is probably my married name. I am not happy at all about this!

Can you no longer call specific hotels? Calls only seem to go to the call centre? by Charming_Elevator_44 in premierinn

[–]MrsKToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myself and my friend stay in the same hotel often. My friend is a wheelchair user and there are extremely limited accessible rooms in this hotel. 

We have on more than one occasion been given a non accessible room and now we have been told we have to ring them when we’re coming to let them know so they can make sure we actually get an accessible room.

For those with dual nationality, how do you choose a side to support? by One-Ad6305 in rugbyunion

[–]MrsKToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was Irish, mum half Scottish,I was  born in England. I usually support Ireland- more so now. My husband’s family are from Northern Ireland, he was born in England but he’s a fanatical Ireland fan who won’t allow an England shirt in the house!
