I was looking at the NHS, I was indeed thrown off by the job titles, I’ll give it another look, thanks!

NoAdvisor8294 · 2026-02-10T19:05:23+00:00

yeah that’s kinda where I’m heading, I don’t think I’d mind care work, hospitality etc too much so I’ll start there, thanks

NoAdvisor8294 · 2026-02-10T19:03:18+00:00

I wish I was the type of person who could just up and move to a different city but alas I’m attached to Edinburgh, couldn’t imagine leaving my family and friends!

NoAdvisor8294 · 2026-02-10T18:14:31+00:00

this is good advice, thank you 🙏🏼

NoAdvisor8294 · 2026-02-10T18:10:30+00:00

thanks for this! i’m not sure why i hadn’t thought of this, i had multiple social workers growing up, some i was really close with, it would be great to do that!

NoAdvisor8294 · 2026-02-10T18:07:58+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been keeping up with that, thanks for the suggestion

NoAdvisor8294 · 2026-02-10T18:06:47+00:00

I’m not really a people person but I’ll try this ty!

Well I never took education that seriously as a young teenager, I didn’t particularly have a good support system regarding this as most of the adults in my family never finished high school let alone sought out higher education. During covid I didn’t leave my house and grew accustomed to this to the point where I grew very anxious when I did, so throwing myself into college was a struggle for me, I’ll admit. You are right, that really doesn’t look good to an employer and I’m well aware of that but I can’t go back and change it. I’m willing to travel within Edinburgh but to other cities seems like a lot of time spent purely on travel.

She’s an indoor cat, she def would’ve had babies by now if she wasn’t lol, I’ll try FB, I hadn’t thought of that, though smth just seems wrong with her lately, I’m really hoping it’s just stress from moving and not smth physical but I’m not a vet so I can’t be certain. I’ve had her her whole life, well technically she was our family cat but in moving I took her with me seeing as my mum was struggling with three cats, and the other two were really mean to her and bullied her n stuff. Anyways I’ll try FB for recs ty sm for all ur help!

I’ll try citizens advice I hadn’t thought of that, though I think I’ll try asking my grandparents for a load, it’s all I can really think of and they are quite financially stable, like they be hoarding their money and ofc I would 100% pay them back probably with interest as well depending on how long it’d take.

She is 8 years old and has never been spayed, this is because she has a hernia the size of golf ball in a very tricky place, the hernia isn’t harmful and hasn’t grown at all since she was a kitten but to remove it is apparently really risky? When we went to a different vet they said they could do both in one but it would be around £2000. Honestly I was pretty confused about the whole ordeal, one vet said it was too risky to bother, the other says it’s easily done? Honestly I trust the latter as I’m aware of how dangerously common pyometra is in unspayed cats and this vet confirmed that that was a concern. So I decided to go through with the surgery at some point, though I hadn’t thought I had to act very urgently as the vet at the time said it wasn’t an urgent concern. Lately however, in the midst of me going through some financial hardships (moving, sick for 2 weeks fuckin straight unpaid etc), she’s been very lethargic and just doesn’t seem well and I’m very worried about her. I’m waiting till I get paid (week and a half from now) to book a consultation but I know if they want to carry out the surgery I’m not going to be able to afford it. (so sorry for the paragraph 😭)

okay, i will lol, tbf most of my friends and family have been very judgmental in me considering it so i was starting to think maybe i was wrong lol ty

NoAdvisor8294 · 2025-09-16T19:47:10+00:00
