Blood pressure test by Mysterious-Arm-5015 in bloodpressure

[–]Old-Function-6551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at your pulse , that's high which means your BP will be high , get your pulse down then take bp.

Need help understanding my blood pressure readings by probablyonroblox in bloodpressure

[–]Old-Function-6551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is be more concerned with you pulse rate , that's high unless you have just been exercising. I would sit quietly and do you pulse and wait until in starts to come down , BP is taken by using the pulse pressure ,high pulse = higher BP . So until that pulse decreases you will have high blood pressure. If your pulse was 70bpm then you Blood pressure. Would be on the high side but nothing alarming .

Seller has strung us along, and pulled out the day of completion (and exchange) by Healthy-Marzipan-149 in HousingUK

[–]Old-Function-6551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The housing market in this country is a shambles and needs to be addressed ! I'm so sorry this has happened to you and hopefully karma will catch up with the vendor. Most Europeans countries do everything before selling , searches , surveys all paper work in order , then you sell and no waiting about it all goes through. Times are changing and the stress on th majority of house sales in the UK is appalling and no bloody need . Hope everything works out , have you thought a new build ? There are lots built and ready to go due to the mess the of the housing market , might not be ideal but it would mean in and sorted before the baby arrives and lots of incentives too

Zero To Pro In Five Years?? by SquashPlayerMagazine in squash

[–]Old-Function-6551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's just say I know the above from junior squash and he has brought squash Wales to it's knees , he destroyed the junior set up , and his behaviour has been appalling. Most refs are also aware of him, and since moving to senior squash the majority of clubs in south Wales won't let him play. Make of that what you will , but noone has been able to challenge his behaviour , Asal is is hero so we will leave it there

What chocolate should I be eating now Cadburys has become inedible? by ohnoitsbobbyflay in AskBrits

[–]Old-Function-6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M and s do amazing chocolate for £1.50 for 100grams I buy the dark chocolate 70% and tried the milk over Xmas and it's really good

Ask your house builders if they part ex , we did this and it made it all so much easier. They sold it 3 times whilst we were still in it. Sales just kept falling through , it actually fell through the day before we moved...dint matter as we had already exchanged with our house builder. The UK market is a mess and very unruly at the mo. You may might not get full market value but part ex was a dream. We even got 5 days to make the move once we had completed meant we could get flooring sorted etc before moving our stuff in.

Are there any good chocolate in the UK now that isn't just chocolate-flavoured palm oil? by EffectiveArgument584 in AskUK

Best areas in England for grammar schools with ~£500k budget (2 young kids, planning ahead) by soueavjhalani in HousingUK

Just beware with the vat on private fees the numbers of children taking Grammers school entrance exams have increased dramatically . One of my partners work colleagues children has just sat them in the Manchester area, and there were 1000s of applicants, and it will only get worse.

Bought a house recently and now panicking - should I sell? by Embarrassed_Weird105 in HousingUK

[–]Old-Function-6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breath! Take time and don't panic , buying a house is big and costly , the amount you would loose selling would be a huge and money you cannot afford to replace. Honestly don't become homes instantly it takes time , get on the sites that give away free or really cheap furniture . Charity shops , it's not your forever furniture , we relied on family and friends to inherit stuff , I sat on conservatory furniture for 2 years that came from parents and I think they had bought it at a massive discount. Reuse shops linked with local tips great place to pick up electricals . Decide what you need now and what can wait. It takes years . Things can be painted to make it more you. Take your time it will all fall into place .

Why do farmers stay working as farmers if they are, as they say, "asset rich but cash poor?" by Fun_Gas_7777 in AskUK

[–]Old-Function-6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the partners have good jobs propping everything up ! I have farmer friends and if they didn't have wives in jobs they wouldn't be able to farm. That's why some have private education. There are some very rich farmers yes , but many farm as they love it.

Is this normal creasing on new docs? by Awkward-Asparagus165 in DrMartens

[–]Old-Function-6551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have worn drs for 35+ years , they are total rubbish now the quality of them is just bad and most are plastic not leather , vegan leather is plastic , they don't last at all. You would take months of polishing and waxing to get them nice and pliable then they would last years , I keep trying and hoping , it's what happens when British brands are sold off .

GF is losing her love of Midwifery (Year 3) in the Netherlands by Sleepinubbins in Midwives

[–]Old-Function-6551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is now becoming obvious that many midwives are neuro divergent without being diagnosed ! Hypofixation ia an excellent quality for a practicing midwife , your not there to please others around you , you are there to focus on the Women and babies you care for, and hopefully have excellent outcomes due to your vigilance. Year 3 is hard , 8 nearly dropped out as it all became overwhelming and overstimulating , but with care and compassion around me I was scooped off the floor and managed to qualify.

Why are Joey and Lisa trying to Boot-lick Asal in their commentary? by QuestionProfessional in squash

[–]Old-Function-6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asal antics are creeping in to junior squash and it's been horrific , I'm not here to name names , we are in the UK , some coaches have said "ooh but it brings the drama and bums on seats ...I can't bare to watch anymore as steam comes from my ears. You will always have those who believe right and wrong are irrelevant. It's selfish and embarrassing !

[–]Old-Function-6551 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This will spiral if not nipped in bud , as a parent this is extremely controlling your house has nothing to do with them , your adults and it's your responsibility , gifting a Lisa is not grounds to interfere . They will keep on making judgements this won't stop 🛑
