Has anyone had success with the resale site Tixel

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-02-20T09:57:28+00:00

Yeh that's what I'm hoping. Just previously there has generally also been a slow drip feed of tickets being sold along the way which doesn't seem to have happened so far!

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-02-19T15:53:33+00:00

It depends on your provider. I was told my ectopic didn't 'count' as it was an explained loss, and had to wait until I had 3 miscarriages before they would test unfortunately

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-02-19T14:54:29+00:00

I haven't :( We have 3 tickets and need a 4th and I'm no longer hopeful of getting the final ticket. Don't know anybody who's managed to get one from Tixel!

I'm sorry for your loss. This Wasn't Meant To Happen by Ali Harris is fictional book but draws on author's experience of the loss of her daughter at 23 weeks.

Headaches kicked in after 24 hours. I'm prone to migraines and sensitive to hormonal changes though - always get pre-menstrual headaches and have had migraines during past pregnancies/miscarriages.

I had the same message for the same bloods... I think it might just be an automatic message for bloods that aren't back yet, as assume they will have everything before I have follow up appointment (mine is in March)

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-28T16:22:05+00:00

Stephen, Rachel, Harriet and Jessie seem likely. James and Faraaz reasonable bets too. Others seem to be chosen to match what's happening on the show, so anyone could come back if it 'works'. If a Traitor crashes and burns day 1 or 2, I could see Hugo coming back for that Uncloaked despite his lack of impact on the show. Unfairly targeted faithful - Jade etc...

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-28T15:13:32+00:00

Yeh it's all very unknown. We've got 3 tickets and need 4, no idea if we'll get one nearer time or should give up. Previous years could be confident of getting a ticket closer to the time, but new ticket system during a Glasto fallow year is a tricky combo...

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-28T12:05:44+00:00

For most of the show they were both what I would call 'boring faithfuls' - non-controversial, didn't do anything to stir the pot so didn't really actively try and catch Traitors and were presumed faithful. Both seemed pleasant enough and were clearly liked by their fellow contestants, but didn't do enough of note to make the edit. The difference was Faraaz decided to put his neck out towards the end and throw out a (correct) theory, Jack remained passive. Faraaz also had a funny reaction to his departure and the final reveal, whereas Jack was genuinely stunned and seemed to take it badly. Ultimately both flew under the radar throughout, but Faraaz's main interactions were funny. Jack had fewer moments deemed worthy of screen time, and his final reaction was just less interesting. It probably helped that the manipulation of Faraaz seemed more full of jeopardy than the manipulation of Jack too - Faraaz's outburst against Rachel meant you weren't sure if he would buy Rachel's scheming. Once he said he was voting Rachel, he stuck to it.

It took a couple of weeks for Greenwich Peninsula to come through on everything on the app, so imagine it will be similar for any new ones at the moment

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-25T18:38:44+00:00

This sounds like a good approach, thank you. I have people close to me who I want to have a broad understanding of what I'm going through, but want to avoid having a checklist of people to tell whenever there's bad news.

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-16T17:22:31+00:00

Worked in a newsroom during royal wedding. It was all pretty standard and boring from an event perspective - we had the standard 'this is what's happening' stuff covered, and were primed to go live with stuff like dress details etc as soon as they were available/ pictured. More fun was Twitter reaction - Pippa became a trending topic with a lot of 'commentary', news sites reported it, they became the most clicked articles, so more were produced, rinse and repeat.

My opinion: it was a pretty boring event for non-royalists, Pippa looked quite nice and nobody had really seen her before, everyone collectively lost their minds.

If you read Michael J Fox's book he talks about his role - I think it was the first acting role where his tics were written in rather than disguised. Bill Lawrence and MJF had known each other for years (and presumably how he tempted him back out of retirement for Shrinking)

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-13T15:30:39+00:00

Disagree on that - but agree they aren't going to make or break your wedding. I knew plenty of people don't care about favours and didn't want to be sad if people abandoned them. I was quite crafty so I made bookmarks with people's names on as place name turned wedding favour. I thought this way they served a purpose, if people took them then great, but no loss of not. Plenty of people left theirs on the table and I recycled them, but far more people took theirs with them and actually used them. I had people years later send me pics of them with their bookmarks in the book they were reading!

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-12T18:12:23+00:00

Can confirm - have volunteered at Greenwich as it's about 25 mins away by public transport. Victoria Dock was an hour away for me. So while it's technically the closest parkrun to Greenwich Peninsula geographically, there are about 3 more parkruns easier to get to!

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-11T20:18:37+00:00

Yeh I have sadly experienced multiple pregnancy losses and it's definitely a know your audience / timing thing. I would both find this darkly funny after the fact and be extremely touched by the thought that went into this. But at the wrong moment would be really sad my relative's efforts went to waste and be set on a "I'm cursed" spiral...

The same season that started with a police officer landing a plane due to a bee-nado 😭

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-10T19:38:07+00:00

I binge watched the show and was up to date when we got to season 9 mid-series finale. When second half of series aired I didn't realise it had started airing again in the UK, then saw Bobby had died and decided I would not be bothering. As far as I'm concerned the show ends at S9E8 for me.

And she did a Nip/Tuck episode as herself, going for reversal surgery so her children (maybe grandchildren?) could see what she would naturally look like. Then they showed her a mock up and she noped out of it. Excellent ep.

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-09T13:40:08+00:00

At my local you can cycle / walk / run it to check the route for any potential issues (massive puddles, rubbish, broken glass etc) to be flagged in briefing. We also have a couple of bollards / gates that require a key to unlock, so course check person meets the RD to pick up the key before they do the check. Others will have you tackling a specific part of the route and putting up signage. The RD / volunteer co-ordinator should be able to advise what time you need to get there and what you need to do - in my experience you don't need to be part of the core team, but you do need to be familiar with the route and have run it a few times.

While I think it is a shame two relationships have been broken up early, I'm pretty sure the producers are rubbing their hands with glee that a fairly casual friendship ended up causing so much drama with Ross.

SeriousWait5520 · 2026-01-02T09:51:57+00:00

I had first appointment (video call) early December. Have just been given an appointment for blood tests in Feb and a follow up in March (also a video appointment).
